Grown out of founder Isaac Tigret's love for blues music, the House of Blues is dedicated to educating and celebrating the history of Southern Culture and African American artistic contributions to music and art.

I love the way he answer questions, he's very private I can relate. When you think he's going to say that he say this, when you think he's going to say this he say that, I love it because he's someone who dosen't want you to know him you can't figure him out.

[@cookiescream3971]

You are not listen,the center piece is Jesus Christ,who has bless Rev Al with a precious gift,he realize this with Jesus this wouldn't have taken place,He always knew that God had a place for him.He cup always over flowed.To understand him,you got to God,,,,,

[@timothyhughes1904]

Yea, Sandra Jones, he was a rambling rose in this interview.

[@Lyndalue4561]

I am a true Al Green fan, but this interview gave me anxiety trying to follow his thought process!

[@LNClubsTheaters]

Al was fun to talk to, and for such a creative mind he wants to hit a lot of points all at once! He was very candid and passionate though, it was awesome to have a chance to speak with him.

[@HaroldHarris]

Was this recorded new years day 2000 in LA? I was at the concert. I remember we waited at the foot of the stage, He was 2 hrs late, but the second he opened his mouth and sang, all was forgiven.

[@johnwayne6988]

House of Blues man meeting Al Green would be a day I would never forget and think about often for the rest of my life haha. RIP the great Larry Lee

[@mznoitall51]

He is saying that the center piece is God. No matter what direction he went in he was always pulled back to God. He couldn't escape the pull. He had earthly desires yet he wrestled with all these things. Yet he went back to the center piece repeatedly. The two personalities of super star and the ministry.

[@gregory4668]

I didn't know Larry Lee had passed away.A true Great!

[@temeb2961]

Look like Denzel Washington to me 😁

[@darm.8172]

The Rectangular Ring...Is That A Diamond...Or His Birthstone? It Was Clear -To Me...That Al Greene Was NOT Really Clear -With US Or This Interviewer. He Was Mostly Like Talking In Abstract Form....Uh...Hello Mr. Al Greene. More Power To You And More More Blessings Too -My Brother!!!

[@bethbartlett5692]

Fan since 1974. I was 14. Good Man, great artist, and balanced in a harmony of living. ✨ *Al just inspired the following share:* He refers to "Desire"- a subject of Quantum Physics discovered and defined "The Universal Law of Attraction" Science on the design of our Universe. "Jesus taught this, but it got a bit faded in the "Versions" of the text, until they found the "Gospel of Thomas". It is fact and Jesus understood it some 2000 years before Physicists discovered it. Science/Physics has actually proven that there is a Creator God/Source of this World and 3D Earth and our Universe. (The bang came 2nd) "Thought is required to manifest anything into 3D form." We are "Eternal Soul Energy" having a Life Journey in this Human Vessel. Only expiration date is on the vessel, Energy is Eternal, it can neither be Created nor Destroyed, it can only change form. The Soul is Energy. We are of and from God, Jesus said: "The Body is a Temple of God" Thus, Know you are Worthy, nurture a Balanced Self-Love and realize that "Your/our Thoughts are an Energy Vibration and they create our reality. That is the "Law of Attraction", it requires a level of Belief, I call "Knowing Believing" It is "Knowing-Feeling Belief" that is required, that's the initiator of the the level or frequency of the thought vibrations, and then it manifests, ... cause God gives it Every time. This is the design and we are intended to use it, and in Mastering the Method we evolve in our Higher Mind, which matures guys and Balances our Ego Mind. The law states: Likes Attract, thus positive is required to experience the positive manifestations, be those health, job, partner, home, or a Bentley. ... and no - if one tries to use it negatively against others, *"They get what they give." Wisdom, Infinite Intelligencre holds us in Unconditional Love, Wellbeing, and Joy, protecting us - we have only to: *"Ask as if it were already received," Jesus, "Gospel of Thomas".* Peace and Wellbeing be yours always... *"Ask and Ye shall receive"* Resources: Gregg Braden on the "Gospel of Thomas" The late Dr Wayne Dyer Dr Joe Dispenza Dr Bruce Lipton All speak on the subject of Thoughts and Physical subjects around the "Universal Law if Attraction". Available through Google and/or KZbin Search. Take back your Power and know, we all are of 1. There are no valid Race Differentials. Be you best Version of You and know You are Loved. Life really is Good! 😘

[@sayquanselby7434]

Can we get just one straight answer, Al? 🤦‍♂️

[@unique74muzik]

@18:36 clever tie in √

[@livebreatheeatfitnessco.4146]

Al green high

[@CodyCole80]

@15:36... What's your name by the way?

[@SuperkenGaming]

Nice interview :D New Stories review up btw if you wanna come show some love ;D

[@funnypetvideos3155]

Is it just me or is Al Green very tormented. Possibly sold? His recorded soul music now feels like a masquerade with the perspective of these interviews in mind that don't feel like the real love.
