November 3, 201114 yr The more I think about it the more inclined I am to bump the Reverend Al Green to the #2 slot. I saw Al Green live a few years ago and it was one of the most awesome things I've experienced.

November 4, 201114 yr The more I think about it the more inclined I am to bump the Reverend Al Green to the #2 slot. I saw Al Green sing "A Change Is Gonna Come" at the Concert For The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in Cleveland in 1995. Words can't describe it.
