BET Awards, Al Green, Jill Scott, Anthony Hamilton, & Maxwell! Erykah Wins!

Posted by gingerlynn on Jun 25, 2008

Last night at the BET Awards '08 some of urban music's best were honored, most notably (for us at OKP anyway) were winners Erykah Badu, UGK and Outkast, Kanye West, and Alicia Keys.  The most exciting aspect of the night for me, however, was the Lifetime Achievement Award which went to Al Green!  After he was honored by renditions of his songs from John Legend, Jill Scott, Anthony Hamilton, and Maxwell (??!! Yes, it's true.  Is he back?), Al took the stage and performed his smash hits "Let's Stay Together" and "Love And Happiness" to a joyfully geeked out audience who stood and danced and sang along throughout both songs.  Watch Al Green perform "Love and Happiness" below, followed by links to the other two performances.  For the full list of winners, see after the click.

Al Green Discusses Lay It Down

Posted by gingerlynn on May 29, 2008

Listen to Al Green discuss his new record, Lay It Down, on NPR's All Things Considered, which ran yesterday. When asked what this album is about, Green says it's all "Love, Love, Love," a message that clearly shines through on every song. Hear Al Green talk about the recording process in his own words, and about shifting back to secular music after years of putting out gospel records. Co-produced by our own ?uestlove, Lay It Down is in stores now, and features appearances from John Legend, Anthony Hamilton, and Corrine Bailey Rae.
