SAT..0ECEM&ER1M981 THE CAROLINA TIMES Al & Shirley Talk Of Upcoming Albums Responding to the spirit of the season, both the First Lady of Gospel, Shirley Caesar, and the inimitable Rev. Al Green called to offer Strobe readers their hopes, prayers and bless ings for renewed spiritual growth during the Christmas season. Ms. Caesar was calling from Dayton, Ohio. She'll finish touring December 18 in Longview, Texas and then head home to Durham, N.C. for her 9th annual tree ceremony, part of her . ministry. This year, more than 1,000 families will be there to benefit from her food and poverty program, receiving, food, clothing and toys for the children. "Remember that under the : tree is a beautiful Christmas gift that is always there. It's ours to claim, the gift of the Baby Jesus, and it's my prayer that this Christmas there will Sunday December 20, 1981 be more emphasis on giving than on receiving," she said. "Think of others first this year and the I, the me, last," she emphasized. "I would sug gest that we take tfie 'X' out of 'X-mas' and make it Christmas again, put Christ back in." Ms. Caesar is now on the Myrrh label for Word Records, Her second album for them, "Go," is receiving a great deal of radio play on WFMY WPTF WTVD WUNO WTTG WRAL WTBS ' WGHP i CH. 2 CH. 28 CH. 11 CH. 4 CH. 5 CH. 5 CH. 17 CH. 8 I Cable 2 Cable 3 I ' Cable 6 I Cable 9 I Cable 1 0 Cable 12 Cable 13 I 700 Kenneth Jerry Kidsworld Jimmy World .

"I walked through Word," she told me, "and I was impressed with the number of blacks, skilled blacks, too, that were making sure the product got out. They recognized me, too. So I sign ed." Ms. Caesar co-produced "Go" with Tony Brown and says now she'll co-produce all future albums. Ms. Caesar is gathering material for the next album, but assures me that in addition to her own songs, she will use material written by her second lead singer, Bernard Sterling, and her keyboard player, Steve Twyman. "I hope we can have it ready by February," she concluded. I'll relay Ms. Caesar's words of wisdom for aspiring gospel singers in a later column. Calling from his home in Memphis, Al Green was almost beside himself wanting to give me a taste of his cur rent work, a full studio tape ahead of . his contract with Myrrh. "Oh, I just wish you could hear this better," he said, holding a tape player to the phone to tease me with a seg ment. "I just can't tell you about it yet!" He finally ad mitted it will be a country gospel record, probably called "Al Green Goes To Nashville," held for release until next summer. Only five weeks out, his "Higher Plane" is superb; my favorite cut is "Amazing Grace." Green praises Laura Lee for vocals on the "Higher Plane" cut and says of Marjie Joseph, "she's a superb talented gal who's wasting her time when she's not singing." Joseph and Wanda Neal Bobo are key elements of "The Spirit Might Come On And On." "We're not on the pitching mound alone," says Al. "Many people are out there pitching for dear life. We've got to close out, tune out, the bad vibrations and listen for the good ones. That's what we're trying to do with 'Higher Plane,' lift people to a higher elevation. "I trust in the Lord for everything," he confessed. "I wasn't born to it; I kind of learned. 1 came into this world in my birthday suit and no matter how many clothes I put on, I try not to get bigger than my birthday suit."
