Who was the singer that switched from soul music to gospel after his girlfriend scalded him with hot grits?
Correct answer: Al Green
simple girl
I used to listen to him back in the 70s and early 80s. I really liked his music, but I had no idea about all of this. I'll have to find some of his gospel music.

He's referred to in Marc Cohn's "Walking in Memphis" song - "Reverend Green be glad to see you, when you haven't got a prayer..." Great song!
Player Say what!?
I remembered this unbelievable news when it happened but didn't remember that the girlfriend had committed suicide.

He got some great music secular and gospel, his secular music (the jams/belly rubbin music) was great in the 70s basement parties.
