Albert Greene (born April 13, 1946), better known as Al Green or Reverend Al Green, is an American gospel and soul music singer. He reached the peak of his popularity in the 1970s, with hit singles such as “Tired of Being Alone”, “Let’s Stay Together”, “I’m Still In Love With You”, “You Ought to Be with Me”, and “Love and Happiness”. In 2005, Rolling Stone named him No. 66 in their list of the ‘100 Greatest Artists of All Time’. The nomination stated that “people are born to do certain things, and Al was born to make us smile.” The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted Green in 1995, referring to him as “one of the most gifted purveyors of soul music.” Green has sold more than 20 million records.

Truth N’ Time is a studio album by the soul singer Al Green, released in 1978. It was Green’s last album of mainly secular music for several years.
