1971.
Green, then known as AlGreene, had scored a hit for Bell Records with "Backup Train." He was rehearsing with Mitchell’s band and began going over the changes for his hit song.
Green wrote the song and it opens with a chord change that has the jazz feel he and his producer liked.
Green pleads, but his plea is quiet, and when he reaches for high note to sing "Pl-e-e-e-se" it’s almost a whisper.
AlGreen was kicked out of the group by his father because he was caught listening to Jackie Wilson.
Green's debut album with Hi Records was Green is Blue[?], a slow, horn-riven groovy album that allowed Green to show off his powerful and expressive voice.
Green converted to Christianity after recovering from the assault and became a pastor in Memphis, Tennessee.
