Garland Green (1942-2026) was from Dunleith, Mississippi, and was the tenth of eleven children; he moved to Chicago in 1958. In 1967, Green won a talent contest and a recording contract. "Jealous Kind of Fella" was his first charting single, reaching #20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #5 on the R&B chart. It sold over a million copies.
Green released a total of eight more singles between 1970 and 1983, placing most of them on the lower reaches of the R&B chart; his 1971 release, "Plain and Simple Girl", reached #17 on that chart. He released an album in 2012, his first new material in 29 years.
