New Haven Records Celebrates Release of Definitive Al Green Gospel Collection

New Haven Records recently debuted Al Green—The Best of the Gospel Sessions, the most complete treasury of the R&B superstar’s inspirational recordings ever released.  Ken Harding, president of New Haven, comments, “Al Green’s legendary vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and contagious melodies have combined to sell millions of records and touch hundreds of millions of lives.”

In addition to selling an astounding 20 million recordings, Green has been named to the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and Rolling Stone Magazine’s Top 100 Artists of All Time.  In 2008, Al Green was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award by BET. That same year, Green’s latest album, Lay It Down, became his highest charting release since the seventies when he was at the peak of his popularity with such hits as “Love and Happiness,” “I’m Still In Love With You,” and “Let’s Stay Together.”

In 1976, Green became an ordained pastor at Full Gospel Tabernacle in Memphis, where he still serves today.  Having never won a Grammy for his early secular successes, he went on to win eight Grammy Awards for his “Gospel Sessions.”  New Haven Records is honored to present the most comprehensive collection ever assembled of his gospel hits.  Included are the Grammy award-winning tracks “The Lord Will Make A Way,” “Higher Plane,” and “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright,” as well as fan favorites “People Get Ready” and “Non But the Righteous.”

Al Green—The Best of the Gospel Sessions is a must-have for the millions of fans who, now more than ever, recognize the timeless genius of Al Green’s music.
