Al Green is celebrating his 80th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer Al Green (Let's Stay Together, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 80th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Green, a cultural icon

Born in Forrest City on April 13, 1946, Al Green's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Green's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Al hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Al Green as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 80.

Happy Birthday, Al, you're the best!
