THOMPSON LANDS AL GREEN DEAL AFTER CRITICISING ALBUM WORK

Soul great AL GREEN has taken AHMIR `?UESTLOVE' THOMPSON up on his word after the ROOTS star criticised his hero for releasing below-par albums. Thompson offered to produce Green's new album after telling their record label boss he could do a better job than producers on recent releases from the LET'S STAY TOGETHER singer. Thompson tells Billboard.com, "I ran my big mouth: `You want a real Al Green record? Come see me.' So now I've got to live up to that."
