message: Now, I love Al Green, and I know he has a rangy voice, but nothing that I have ever from him suggests notes high above the staff.  Antares33712 20:41, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I assume, then, that you're familiar with the song that I'm talking about ("I Can't Get Next To You"). It seems to be an exceptionally high pitch that he hits at the end, but like I said, I'm not knowledgable about the subject of whistle register, so there's a good chance I'm totally wrong.

text: That note sounds like D7 but its really D6. He has a really sharp falsetto. Most falsetto's have the ability to go higher. Mine can reach F6 or G6 at the highest. The whistle register starts at E6. Philip Bailey from Earth Wind and Fire usually sings his highest live which if you listen to Devotion live, he hits E6. He is famous for recording alot of C6's. It is one thing to hit a note but usually highest notes are harder to hold. Al Green held that D6 pretty good. I'm sure he can easily hit E6 and above. It's fairly easy to hit E6 in falsetto since most males can sing C6 in it. And aren't that far apart(C6,C#6,D6,Eb6,E6...)Myke 06:47, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Whistle register

message: Since this technique is so central to Green's art, I'm kind of surprised there is no mention of Claude Jeter of the Swan Silvertones, whose falsetto Green said was one of his biggest singing influences. Jeter was one of later and most famous in a line of gospel falsetto specialist that an article in The Believer Magazine traced back to a tenor named Homer Quincy Smith, and which included Billy Williams as well.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.86.248.2 (talk) 13:00, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

message: I think basically anyone coming to Al Green is looking for the musician rather than the politician. If anyone seriously disagrees, feel free to here. But I think the disambiguation page was completely unnecessary. Sarge Baldy 20:36, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Just got here so I didn't realize any prior controversy. I've changed the dab link to Al Green (politician) to its actual name for clarity.  --hydnjo talk 18:57, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Still searching for a source for a fan's quote I'd heard, back in the 1970s, and attributed to the late jazz trumpet player, Miles Davis.  Davis was such a big fan of Green's music he'd supposedly wisecracked "If Al Green had tits, I'd marry him." Walter Dufresne 16:28, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd second that.  Just in case you're reading this Al, I'm in the book. Maikel (talk) 09:41, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Miles Davis' legendary quote 

message: The "Return to Faith" section says a Mary Woodson's attack on Green with a pot of hot grits caused third-degree burning to Green's back. The article about third-degree burns (as well as my recollection from the Boy Scout first-aid manual) says third-degree burns include charring of the skin. I don't see how hot grits, even actively boiling ones, which the ones in question could hardly have been, could char skin. My point in raising this issue is to suggest that maybe an Unreferenced|date=January 2008 tag should be added to this section of the article; I don't pretend to be able to diagnose the severity of a burn I never examined, but if there's a source that substantiates that it was third degree, it would be well to include it in the article.
