Dear world, today, Reverend Al Green called me on the telephone.
Around 2 pm, I was playing his version of “Pretty Woman” on Across 110th Street, the Saturday soul show. The phone rang. I picked it up, said “Hello, WKCR?” The caller paused and then said, “Hi, this is Al Green. What’s your name?”
He wanted to know what album I was playing. I told him “Your anthology.”
Seriously.
I think I actually told him “I love you.” He said, “You’re playing some good music. Good bye.”
