"Al Green has said that late singer Michael Jackson was a &amp;quot;wonderful&amp;quot; talent when he was alive. The soul legend told The Quietus that he and Jackson had exchanged compliments when they first met years ago. Green said: &amp;quot;With the tragedy of Michael they sent me all of Michael&amp;#039;s records, and I&amp;#039;ve played one, two, three, four of Michael&amp;#039;s records so far, just incredible to listen to the talent of the man. &amp;quot;I met Michael, and I hugged him, I gave him one of those boy hugs, type of thing, because we were over at Tito&amp;#039;s house, and they was having like a pool party with little crackers and champagne or something, and we were all out around the pool when Michael came in, with Jermaine.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;It was a long time ago. And he says &amp;#039;Oh, I like your music&amp;#039;, and I said &amp;#039;Thanks, I like yours!&amp;#039; &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;d been singing longer than me. It&amp;#039;s kind of hard to realise the fact that&amp;#039;s taken place for me. It&amp;#039;s just that everything ain&amp;#039;t right. A wonderful talent - a super-talent!&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
