Higher Plane (album)

Higher Plane is a gospel album by the American musician Al Green, released in 1981.

Critical reception
The New York Times noted the "first-rate songs and arrangements, a sure sense of its own style, and performances as rich in sensuality and erotic innuendo as any of Mr. Green's pop recordings."
