He was deeply influenced by American-style R&B and began his singing career in the 1970s. In 1986, Green co-founded Otis Grand & the Dance Kings, and after leaving the group in 1994, he established the Earl Green Band, with which he extensively toured England and Ireland.

Green was a vibrant figure in the British blues scene for nearly four decades until his retirement due to ill health.
