Keep in mind that this incident happened when he was "in the world", "the old man". But it clearly shook him up to come out of the world. He stopped singing worldly music for a long time.

His road manager helped him cover it up. The victim broke into his home, saw he was in bed with another woman, quietly made the grits, proceeded to his room and threw it on him and ran. Al grabbed his gun which he kept on his nightstand, he then chased her down and shot her after which time he called his road manager. She had written the note some days before the shooting because Al had broken up with her due to a situation with her husband, it was an attempt to get him to feel sorry for her and take her back, so he already had the note in his possession and conveniently used it during the cover up.

Thank you for sharing this I remember young growing up my mother use to tell us this story about Al Green & got grits thought she was joking with us glad to finally see this story told

[@filmtressmu8552]

Al Greene, huh? I remember my parents talking about his rampant abuse of his wife/girlfriend. What was happening during that time is that men and husbands were beating their wives and girlfriends so brutally, some even killing their women. I remember my parents also said a similar thing about Tina Turner getting beat again and again. I remember my dad saying she will be alright if she could get away from that violent man. I don't know what this story is being told as if she was the issue. It was these insecure dogs in the Entertainment Music Industry who abuse the Artists. My eldest sister went through this kind of abuse and I remember after she was beaten, she later expressed to us (our mother and us siblings) that she thought about throwing hot grits on her violent husband. But my parents encouraged her to leave. My sister suffered from Battered Wives Syndrome so profoundly that while we were in Sunday service she kept telling my parents that she didn't know how she would escape with her child. But my mother said, "Honey, look at where you are. Right now, you're here at church with us with the baby in your arms. Just don't go home." She didn't and she never went back. He was so livid. He told her that he treated her kindly and that she should be grateful that he didn't do to her what some husbands did to their wives by keeping her in the hospital. What?!! What a bastard.

My grandmother (born 1905) spoke of a distant relative of her mother--my great-grandmother--who caused a tragedy. I believe this took place in NYC but I'm not sure. Anyway, the story goes that this relative, a man, was involved in with a beautiful woman from the Caribbean islands. She had moved in with him, against her family's wishes. Her family did not condone living together without marriage. But the woman assured them that she was engaged and that the man was going to marry her. But time passed and no marriage resulted. Every time the subject was broached, the man just kept leading her on. Finally, one day, after speaking to her relatives in the islands who wanted to know when she was going to get married, this woman confronted the man again. Her relatives were anxious to come for the wedding. So that same day, the woman spoke to the man in the living room of the house about making wedding plans. At this time, he laughed and said he had no intention of ever marrying her. She then went upstairs to a bedroom. He heard a shot and went running up the stairs to discover this beautiful woman had killed herself. After he caused such a tragedy, my great-grandmother's side of the family cut off all contact with him. Word was that they man lost his mind after that. I hope he did.

Mary was holding all of Her Emotions in until He arrived Home.

Once a story gets started and when it settles it changes. I recall hearing about this I was about 15 years old, they said she was a married woman he was sitting at the table when she threw them grits on him and they said he threw her out the window, and "they" meaning the newspaper or news, and in his church he has a chair on stage that is dedicated to her, and also was no mention of a third person. She had a suicide note in a purse and having a third person how convenient. It's a good hobby to have keeping old press clippings.

@@vivianclaiborne7653 When he got the shower, he had a friend on the police force, which turn out to be very helpful, in this case. This was early on this info came out and as time goes by changes in the original/begining start to change. When I'm cooking grits a little can pop on my hand and is very painful, take that times it by a hot pot of grits on your back side the " B" is going out the window.

I remember days after this happened, DJ's were calling him Al 'Grits' Green. Way too soon to joke about this tragedy. Let it scab, please.

[@valerieblack6322]

Know that I have heard the OTHER side of this story… and his violent behavior towards women leads me to believe yes his gf threw grits on him but I believe he shot her and killed her because she threw grits him… his gf wasn’t the type that would kill herself by way of a gun her weapon of choice was pills… I believe he lost it and was extremely angry… I would love to hear the flight attendant side (if she is still living)… his guilt of killing her turned him to Jesus

[@candice5186]

What??? She left a suicide note 3 pages ...plus she previously attempted suicide before... plus her ass was married with 4 babies and didn't even tell him so she was a troubled woman on a mission to forget her family and be with Al green

[@nessaj4522]

The thing was she left her husband and kids for him. She thought she had him to herself but when she got in the car with him he had his best friend in the front seat... He knew what was up as the book says... She was jealous so when they all went in that house together she didn't like the fact that he had his other friend there with them. So he was curious of why she was down in the kitchen cooking and they had a maid. Why would she be in the kitchen cooking... So as he had his back turned she came up in the room with the grits.

[@MOLICIOUS69]

Now apparently you have these young folks that know nothing of AL GREEN making up their own stories about him having a gun on his nightstand and shooting Mary after she poured grits on him.

[@Tornado1994]

@@MOLICIOUS69 Woodson was Yandere obsessed with Al Green. She blew her own Brains out.

[@MOLICIOUS69]

@@Tornado1994 She was sort of a groupie, she caught at Al Green at the wrong time of his career he was enjoying the rock n roll life and just wasn't ready for marriage and definitely didn't expect in his wildest dreams the incident that will follow because of it. She also had mental problems which is totally overstandable considering how society is currently.

[@Tornado1994]

@@MOLICIOUS69 That's right. Woodson was also married herself and felt like she was Entitled to have Al Green. Green also had No clue that she was already married nor did he ever think she would assault him by Burning him with Hot Grits. The notion and ludicrous theory that's being pushed on here that Woodson didn't kill herself and that a Man suffering severe 2nd Degree Burns nearly 3rd Degree on 60% of his body could somehow shoot and kill is Incredulous. The Whole Incident was Documented by Shelby County,TN Law Enforcement and Emergency Personnel on Friday October 18,1974 and mentioned that Woodson burned Green with boiling water and Hot Grits while he was Showering because she discovered he already had interest in another Woman a Stewardess named Carlotta Williams. Here's the thing the Documented Incident Report states: Woodson stalked Al Green having flew all the way to San Francisco from New Jersey to a Concert gig he had and by Friday the 18th, Woodson's Husband had tracked her down in Memphis telling Green that he intended on taking her back to NJ, not long after, Green's GF Williams showed up at his doorstep at his Memphis Estate. Green had grown suspect of Woodson and believed she was living a Double Life, so he had lost interest in her and was now romantically involved with the Brass Carlotta. Mary Woodson had snuck into a Cab with Green & he had allowed her to come to his Estate. He says, she just went Mental when she discovered Williams and at the point asked him if he wanted to get married, he told her "You're already married, your husband wants you to go back to New Jersey, I can't be involved with you, but we can still be friends". When Green attempted to check on Mary Woodson, he discovered she was in the Kitchen boiling Water, he asked her why and she sheepishly replied "IDK. But I would never hurt you, handsome". Green exclaimed "Wait, What?" He was confused and trying to figure out what was she thinking or planning. He then decided to go to his Master Bedroom and get Groomed and Shower, while he's in his Underwear brushing his teeth, she followed him and he saw her reflection in the Bathroom Mirror, she had a blank look on her face and was holding a pot of Grits and Boiling Water with both hands & without saying a word, she just hoisted it at him. He was in so much shock and agony, that Carlotta came running in from the other Guest Bedroom, a moment after that, they heard 2 loud bangs, Green suspected that Mary had taken her own life and her body was found in a side Room laying on the floor.
