      Yes, Al changed this Gibbs song a bit from the original version. But you have to dig deeper with Al Green: “Let’s Stay Together,” “Love and Happiness,” “I’m Still in Love with You,” “You Ought to Be With Me,” “I’m So Tired of Being Alone,” etc. Thanks ✨🤪

    Quick trivia on this song. The song was written by Barry and Robin Gibb, and it was their song in 1971 first. That’s why I said the other day you hadn’t heard their old stuff yet. And they’ve got stuff much older.

      I prefer the musical arrangement and the soul vocal of the AL Greene version more. I think the Soul vocal arrangement carries more emotional impact then the BeeGees collective soft high tone. Even when pronouncing fractions of the lyric words Al muddles/turns the phrasing to a soul sound like when he pronounces it as "what i'm tryin to say is", that is masterful. When you add the background horns on top of his performance it makes a deeper emotional vibe than the BeeGees muster.

      Being a cover doesn't mean it isn't awesome. I've heard plenty of covers of different songs. Some covers are different from the originals but they are still good.
      I've noticed over the years, whether it's hearing a song for the first time or eating a certain food for the first time, people tend to like the first one better and compare everything else to it. Example: I heard a cover of Hey Jude before I knew it was a Beatles song. I like the cover better.

    Here I Am (Come and Take Me)
    Love and Happiness
    Let’s Stay Together

    YES Al Green is my favorite artist of all time! My mama loved him and raised me with him. When I lost her a few years back I saw he was on tour and sold a bunch of my stuff so I could go FRONT ROW at the Chicago theatre! I even caught one of the roses he threw to the audience and have it in a frame now. Let me tell you this man was 72 or 73 when I saw him and he still absolutely killed it. Night of a lifetime.
    When he hits that note though I love your reaction!!! And look how he STEPS BACKWARDS. He makes love to that mic haha this performance.
    Listen to the note at the end of his version of "Can't Get Next to You". Mariah who? My husband calls it "the mosquito". The man has a range and voice like none other. So fun to see others having the same reactions to him! He's a straight up experience that comes over you. To see him go straight to your faves is so great. Nobody my age knows him. I hope you got that pic put up!
