A male soprano, he was especially active in the late 1960s and the 1970s as a backing vocalist for rock artists seeking to achieve a more polished vocal performance on their recordings.[1] As a songwriter during that time, he frequently collaborated with Billy Preston, co-writing the latter's Grammy-winning 1972 hit "Outa-Space" and other songs.[1] Among the many artists whose recordings Greene appeared on are Quincy Jones, the Rolling Stones, Neil Diamond, Ringo Starr[1] and Harry Nilsson.[2] According to AllMusic, together with singers such as Vanetta Field and Clydie King, Greene was "on the 'A' list" of studio backing vocalists in the U.S.[1] He was also one of the singers in "The Soul Choir" that accompanied George Harrison, Starr, Preston and Leon Russell at the Concert for Bangladesh in August 1971.[3] Greene co-wrote the song "Let the Music Play" on Preston's 1970 album for Apple Records, Encouraging Words.{{sfn|Castleman|Prodrazik|1976|p=91}} In June 1971, he signed a songwriting deal with Preston's publishing company, WEP Music, whereby he would receive 35 per cent of the company's net profits. Two years later, Greene sued Preston and WEP for $500,000, claiming he had been paid nothing for hits such as "Outa-Space".[4] He continued to work with Preston, including co-writing the title track to the artist's 1979 album Late at Night and singing on the album.[5] In the ensuing decades, Greene withdrew from rock music and focused on gospel and choral projects.[6] References1. ^{{cite AV media notes|url=|first=John|last=Tobler|title=I Wrote a Simple Song/Music Is My Life|others=Billy Preston|pp=4, 6, CD credits|year=2011|type=CD booklet|publisher=BGO Records|id=}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:}}2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/joseph-greene-mn0001645810/credits|title=Joseph Greene: Credits|publisher=AllMusic|accessdate=July 19, 2018}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Castleman|first1=Harry|last2=Podrazik|first2=Walter J.|title=All Together Now: The First Complete Beatles Discography 1961–1975|publisher=Ballantine Books|location=New York, NY|year=1976|isbn=0-345-25680-8|ref=harv|pp=195–96}} 4. ^{{cite magazine|author=Los Angeles staff|title=Preston Sued for $500,000 by WEP Scribe|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GgkEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA10|magazine=Billboard|date=June 16, 1973|p=10|accessdate=July 19, 2018}} 5. ^{{cite AV media notes|url=|title=Late at Night|others=Billy Preston|year=1979|type=LP credits|publisher=Motown Records|id=}} 6. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/joseph-greene-mn0001645810/biography|first=Eugene|last=Chadbourne|title=Joseph Greene|publisher=AllMusic|accessdate=July 19, 2018}} 6 : American male singers|American gospel singers|American male songwriters|African-American songwriters|Place of birth missing|Year of birth missing |
