Steph: Do you like Al Green?

Jen: You mean Alan Greenspan?

Steph: No! Al Green. He’s a musician.

Jen: Oh. You know, I think I’ve heard of him.

Steph: Yeah. He sings kind of R and B stuff from the seventies. Um, if you heard it, you’d totally know his music.

Jen: Oh.

Steph: Definitely. He talks with a really low voice and he gets the ladies in the mood.

Jen: Yeah. I think I have heard of him. ‘Cause I do like the music from that era.

Steph: Definitely, it’s like hot tub music. Hot tub and wine.

Jen: Hot tub and wine. Well, Al Green sounds alright to me then.

Steph: Better than Alan Greenspan.

Jen: Yeah. Definitely better than Alan Greenspan.

Discussion

I think that one of the most popular songs that Al Green has written is called Let’s Stay Together. This song was popular when it came out and then became popular again in the 90s when it was featured on the soundtrack for the movie Pulp Fiction. It’s funny because a lot of people who heard it on that soundtrack were not old enough to remember the original, so they thought it was new.
