He has sold more than twenty million records, been sampled by countless hip-hop artists, and even had President Obama singing his tunes.Soul Survivor is the biography of a man whose life is the embodiment of the collision between the sacred and the profane, traversing the tortured road Green roamed from gospel to secular and back again. Readers bear witness to some of the greatest music ever recorded and the never-before-told story of Green's label, Hi Records. |
