C. Allen:
Thanks for agreeing to do this interview it's a pleasure and an
honor to have you take time out of your busy schedule. Well start
by telling our viewers who Al Lindsey is and how your musical career
started?
Al: Well,
I started like most artists at the age of 14 years old I was singing
lead in the church choir and by age 17 I had started my own group
and was singing in night clubs. Also, my career continued to progress
over 20 years after the army.
C. Allen:
I understand you are referred to as the "Singin' Doc"
how did that originated?
Al: That
name was given to me by a radio DJ by the name of Kurt Roby because
of my medical background and career.
C. Allen:
Are you currently on a record label at this point in your career,
if yes with who and if not, why?
Al: No,
In 1986 I was signed to Ren City Records for about a year until
they went under. Currently I'm an independent by choice because
I have more creative control over what's being released, album song
selections and ownership of my music.
C. Allen:
How would you classify and rate yourself as an artist?
Al: As
a soul singer; balladeer; raw; smooth delivery with the ability
to be feisty when necessary.
C. Allen:
How many albums have you released?
Al: I've released
a demo and (2) albums, the first was titled "Caught" it
was nominated in 2005 for Southern Soul "Best Male Artist of
the Year" and the new album is titled" So In Love".
C. Allen:
If you had to say one name, who would you say is your all time favorite
artist and why?
Al: Sam
Cooke, because he was musical genius; a great vocalist with phenomenal
phrasing and his style of bending notes was superb.
C. Allen:
Who are some of your other favorites I know there are many?
Al: Yes
there are, I would have to say Marvin Gaye; Johnnie Taylor; Bobbie
Womack; Willie Clayton; Rue Davis and J. Blackfoot.
C. Allen:
I've had the pleasure of listening to your new album titled
"So In Love" that's taking the charts by storm. It's terrific,
electrifying and very easy listening, would you tell us about it?
Al: Basically
each song tells a story for instance the song titled "Missing
You" deals with the different aspects of love; "Call Me"
deals with the pain and agony of love; and "Let's take a Chance"
talks about the risks and wanting to get to know someone special.
C. Allen:
If you had a choice which would you prefer to perform clubs or large
venues?
Al: I
would have to say clubs only because they tend to allow me the opportunity
to get up close and personal with my fans.
C. Allen:
Before I let you go do you have anyone you would like to thank?
Al:
Yes, I would like to say a special thank you to God for blessing
me with a special gift of singing, my family and close friends,
my fans, promoters, DJ's and radio stations that continue to play
my music.
C. Allen:
Al, as usual it's always a pleasure speaking with you, I wish you
much continued success in your musical journey, I hope this won't
be our last time, continue to make God the head of your life and
he will guide your career to newer and higher levels.
Thanks you!
