Winner: Al Green
On Al Green’s classic records like “Let’s Stay Together,” “I’m So Tired Of Being Alone,” and “Here I Am (Come And Take Me),” you could feel the emotion dripping off the record. After a long self-imposed exile from secular music, the pastor of Memphis’ Full Gospel Tabernacle has in recent years returned to the style of music that made him a superstar in the ’70s, including two critically acclaimed albums for the Blue Note label.
Finalists: Isaac Hayes, Ruby Wilson
