I’m 85 and I don’t think I’ve ever forgotten how things work in this country before and now, yes things will change for the better and we will see it soon enough to make a difference for everyone else!
Al Green took that song and owned it, he took us th church, to the river baptized everybody, and gave God the glory. You did Sam Cooke proud sir.. 👏 👏 👏 👏 ❤
The artist gave his soul what more can anybody ask if that's not good enough that's the the listeners prob. I can it must have been a great day to hear it live
That's an audience full of white folks, that's why. They didn't know what to do. It's not in their culture. Black folks would have jumped up a long time ago.
Personally I would probably just have been sitting there with my eyes closed and taking it all in. If I jumped out of my seat I would distract myself from it. It's the same thing when people scream and clap through the song or before the song has ended… I want to hear it all.
Take us back to the old days when our grandparents and aunts and uncles would all have this music playing in the house cooking up real meals or even cooking out on the grill😭😭😭Goddddd I can learn to appreciate that soo much now that we are in these times!!! What happened lord😭🤦🏽♀️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
I wish I could agree with you Nomusa...but Ive seen and have experienced stuff that makes me wonder about the hearts of some people. It's a nice, positive way to feel, but like another song, by George Benson, it really makes me wonder.
I'm 60 and we're still fighting the same fight. Smh We didn't ask to come to America, how are we the problem? We, Black People, could go to the moon and they, White People would probably follow us there too. The obsession is real. R.I.P. Sam Cook ❤ Thank you Al Green 💙💚 God Bless you for posting. 💜
That’s a lie.. why would you say that??? Racism is not a problem anymore. People say anything to keep chaos amongst people..unfortunately idiots still believe it
what an incredibly hateful thing to say. I do not think Al Green was signing this song to further the divide of white versus black. we are all humans and we should treat each other with respect and compassion. I am sad that you feel that white people would follow black people, and to do what? make black people feel miserable? Wake up. You are wanting to further the divide. Why?
@@lindawillingham1924 Hi, Linda! I am in and out of the recording studio lately. Check this one out: th-cam.com/video/amrXlywecCA/w-d-xo.html. It is one that people are listening to internationally. Thanks for listening! Take care.
Campbell Brothers do an instrumental of this that 10,000 people wept through At Portland Blues Festival about 15 years ago. Lap steel Pedal steel Strat + 8-10 other musicians(band) Peace
Me and I was singing on the parking lot and I didn't know that peoples was listening until they started singing along... I got faith in this song I truly believe a change is coming...
Amen! From someone who listened to him as a teenager on my 8-track tape player. Amen! From someone who visited his church in Memphis as an adult and heard him break out in song while preaching. Amen! From someone who’s now in his golden years and still is thrilled to listen to the inimitable Mr. Al Green. Amen!
First off Al Green killed this...2nd he did this without a ear piece meaning he remembered the lyrics to a song he didn't write...you got artists who can't even remember their own lyrics 3rd. He had no back up singers no lip singing all him man what a performance
B , AGREED 👍!!!, Mr. Al Green has a musical gift, That he doesn't need an ear peice, back up singers, or the band !!!, Give him a tambourine & a microphone & clapping his hands.......It will still be soulful & powerful to hear 💥🎼🎤💞!!!!
A very emotional performance.He put his heart and soul into that song and the message in it.Yes one day a change will come.Don't give up , your day is coming.
2023, I am currently watching Mr Al Green beautiful voice for a great song from the Sam Cooke, my big sister took me to see Al Green when I was 13 years old. He gave me a rose because all those big women was crushing me. He say my little face, walked right to me on that barricade with a long stem rose.. I still feel special today.. This song , all Sam Cooke music my mother used to play on her record player in the sixties so yes, now I am in my sixties. Sweet memories ❤️🥹
2:32 - "But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees...." -- sends shivers down my spine when he falls to his knees and shakes his fists at the Universe and God and you and me. RIP Sam Cooke.... you were truly amazing.
I felt that Hallelujah! down in my soul. I think he sang the word from his soul. I’ve never heard him sing this song before. He did it exceptionally well. ✝️🤗🥳❤️
Beast Nation ....true, true!! This kinna music comes from a generational NEED for change!! If we could all coordinate against all the bad stuff.........then WE can pray for OUR change to come!! THAT'S when we'll have good music again! IMHO!!
No one made it sound like Mr. Cooke. Rest his soul Heavenly Father. but No one other than Mr. Cooke will ever do it more justice than Mr. Green. You can feel the baring of the soul from the both of them. As a young enough blacc man, this song as those two performers and performances transcends time and generations. I thank GOD I have wisdom and the mindset to understand and feel it.
One of the best live performances I've ever seen. The people who were there that evening are blessed to witness it. Would have been a highlight life changing moment in my life I feel. Don't know how everyone stayed sitting down.
hey brothers and sisters we need a change 2019 we have to many dying of drugs a crooked president bad food random shootings please lord take me back to the 60s and 70s
I’ve been listening to this man for 50 years. Show Stopper!!! This is when Men performance was on point. Clothes Style and ShowManShip…. Concerts were on point
Every time I watch this, the hairs stand up on the back of my neck and I feel like tearing up. The most powerful live performance I've seen. I am in awe of Al Green, today and always.
Holy Moly..The Reverend nailed that classic..can’t believe I’ve not seen that until now. Mr Cooke would have been proud of that performance..outstanding, tears in my eyes.
@@conniewolf7300 Excellent response to Bobby Grant original comment which was and is biased; as though blacks are the only ones who have "been through the struggle".
It certainly is - And I believe the best interpretation of a lyric by any vocal artist, I've ever watched. Certainly as good as Mr Joe Williams or Sinatra. Exceptional class and talent -
Al Green Always Had A Gospelic Tone In His Voice From Childhood. I Am Not Surprised That He Is An Ordained Minister Now. It Was In The Making From Birth. GOD IS GOOD!!!!!
So.. When I play this TH-cam upload for my Black friends at work, they are knocked on their asses. They have never heard much if anything about the Reverend Al Green. But the look on their young faces all between 18 and 35 is beautiful. This version is beyond special and awesome, and I am proud to enlighten theses friends. By the way I am over 55 and White, and in management. But I play this song more than once every week
Holy Hell!!! I have watched this since it was first aired back in the day (I remember watching the show on tv) and to this day, he still blows me away! Powerful powerful performance....totally killed it!
I can still remember the first time I heard this song on the AM radio in my car one day while driving to college. I think it was on WWRL 1600 in NYC. It surprised me that it was Sam Cooke but I loved the song. It didn't get much airplay. This performance takes it to church with Reverend Al Green.
I really don't care to go out on a limb to help people who constantly fight against me. Especially when I have little support…People are all for charity if they're getting paid for it.
Stein Sorhaug I agree, but rappers and "R&B" singers in modern time are about violence, pride, sex and drugs. Al Green isn't the only one...Sam Cooke, Vandross, Gaye, are a few notable BLACK artists that were awe inspiring and soulful.
I agree to an extent but a majority of rap, listened to mainly by blacks, is about gang violence. Modern rock bands and country bands have sung songs with similar messages, and it goes unheard. Blacks look to role models of their race more so than anyone else. Al Green should be a role model before Jay Z.
Otis, Sam, and Al singing this song - each with unique talent! And it was appreciated by the three generations in my home. Thank you for the music - it was the soundtrack of our lives.
A change has to come. Sadly it took the life of a black man for change to even start coming. Just want to cry and praise Jesus when I hear this tune. Love it!
I'm an aged Metalhead (impossible to change now), but since my merry 1970s i have admired and loudly praise the Voice of Reverend Al Green. To me, he is the King of Soul. Great Soul.
I'm a young metalhead who's into this kind of music, i love this guy. Absolutely a beautiful and breathtaking performance, i won't let people forget him 🙂
I use to listen to my Brother Bobby and his Posse singing this song and even then it was always sad. From his Army Days he came home with that disease. Later in life my Big Sis took him to the VA because he was complaining about his chest. Sis told me when they returned for the results they said cancer was through-out his body. He was still in Germany went I got there in August 1977 and we had some nice times over there. Mom and the older ones are gone now and it's sure amazing how generations change. So many of Our Yonger people don't even know The LORD'S PRAYER, something we were taught as soon as we were old enough to leave "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep." GOD Is Good and see it all, GOD BLESS!!!!
Wow....just wow!!!! Hear the ancestral spirits resonate thru the vessel that is the honourable rev Al Green. Just listened to Sam & Otis's renditions too. These brothers cannot be compared as each bring their own magic to the table. The end result in each case is the same however.....leaving the listener with chills down their spine & an ache in their soul. Three different men singing one song with contrasting vibrations arriving at the same destination....The TRUTH!!! When Sir Bob Marley stated 'one good thing about music when it hits you you feel no pain' it was songs of this calibre that he was referring to.....
***** Thanks bro I did my best sir! - I truely don't believe that (the English) language is broad enough to articulate this performance in words alone.....I mean DAMN!!! Just DAMN!!(as I drop to my knees & clench my fists) as I say this - & I know that you feel me bro - much love

One of the greatest performances of this song; if not the best.

So incredible!!!!!
Yes.
I’m 85 and I don’t think I’ve ever forgotten how things work in this country before and now, yes things will change for the better and we will see it soon enough to make a difference for everyone else!
Did he acknowledge his Savior ??
Yes, he did, praise Jesus !!!
He gave God the Highest Praise. Hallelujah.
Al Green took that song and owned it, he took us th church, to the river baptized everybody, and gave God the glory. You did Sam Cooke proud sir.. 👏 👏 👏 👏 ❤
Amen.
You better know it!❤
Al Green did justice to Sam Cooke. Much respect ! ❤❤❤
Im 81, dont kno yr i first hrdit, still its my prayer
Sam Cooke did well with this song! Whew
If you don’t get goosebumps listening to this, you are not from this world!
I’m not from this planet, but neither is Al Green
Кайф🔥🌊
Tell me about it ... goosebumps, yeah, but mostly shivers and musical tears.
Mic drop. He left it all on that stage: the pain, the sorrow, the hope, the faith. What a powerful performance.
I've always loved Al Green, been listening to him since the Seventies, 🙏🙏🙏

Al took me to church, sang his heart out who could dislike this seriously.
Amen amen amen!!! I felt that man's heart, soul n then Spirit come out of him.
Church of the singing heart 😍
Ignore this jackass 👆
The artist gave his soul what more can anybody ask if that's not good enough that's the the listeners prob.
I can it must have been a great day to hear it live
The messed up thing he had to come in through the to the back door at this concert that is really messed up
I can't get enough of listening to it and we are in 2024, a song for life
Al Green went to church and back and brought all my emotions out as if I were in church..I love it
He really did take us to church!!!!!
AMEN....
Amen 🙏
That's an audience full of white folks, that's why. They didn't know what to do. It's not in their culture. Black folks would have jumped up a long time ago.

That's so sweet. It made me tear up a little. His voice embodies the horrible struggle so dang well. Wauw, what a performance
I am shocked at the Audience Just sitting there as this man pours out his soul I would have jumped out of my seat
They got no soul my brother just look at the type of people and you'll see why they just sit and steer
Personally I would probably just have been sitting there with my eyes closed and taking it all in. If I jumped out of my seat I would distract myself from it. It's the same thing when people scream and clap through the song or before the song has ended… I want to hear it all.
Sometimes I am taken over and my spirit just has to express itself
Indeed
point well taken --I would have been taken over by my soul
This man sang his soul out... Whatever it is you're going through, have faith. A change is gonna come!

You can't listen to this song without shedding a tear I don't care how hard hearted you are

i feel nice this song oh its good love me you from ugnd
The lord is always there to listen to you,when you need some one!
Agree my Sister
Doesn't matter what color you are ..if your GOD'S child this song hits the heart..
I'm 60 and we're still fighting the same fight. Smh
We didn't ask to come to America, how are we the problem?

The obsession is real.

I can still remember the first time I heard this song on the AM radio in my car one day while driving to college. I think it was on WWRL 1600 in NYC. It surprised me that it was Sam Cooke but I loved the song. It didn't get much airplay. This performance takes it to church with Reverend Al Green.
This song needs to be reintroduced to young black folk round the country.
I really don't care to go out on a limb to help people who constantly fight against me. Especially when I have little support…People are all for charity if they're getting paid for it.
Stein Sorhaug I agree, but rappers and "R&B" singers in modern time are about violence, pride, sex and drugs. Al Green isn't the only one...Sam Cooke, Vandross, Gaye, are a few notable BLACK artists that were awe inspiring and soulful.
I agree to an extent but a majority of rap, listened to mainly by blacks, is about gang violence. Modern rock bands and country bands have sung songs with similar messages, and it goes unheard.
Blacks look to role models of their race more so than anyone else. Al Green should be a role model before Jay Z.
Joshua Ledet covered this, and did a wonderful job.
2022 and Rev Al Green again made my morning. A blessing from God, his voice makes me just wanna kneel and praise The Lord
Me too and I'm an atheist!
Amen
Al Green voice is gifted we are Bless to have this talent in our generation

Love you forever❤
Otis, Sam, and Al singing this song - each with unique talent! And it was appreciated by the three generations in my home.
Thank you for the music - it was the soundtrack of our lives.
Wow I'm replying to the real Al Green 😯
A change has to come. Sadly it took the life of a black man for change to even start coming. Just want to cry and praise Jesus when I hear this tune. Love it!
I will always love 💘 Al Green
Omg. Crying. He’s creating it new every time. A highlight of my day. Thank you Rev Green.
Go 'head on, brother Al. You did that like no one else can.
YOU ARE SOO RIGHT !!! WHEN I NEED A UP LIFT IN MY LIFE I WATCH THIS ! A GOOD CHANGE IN MY ATTITUDE COMES FEELS SO GOOD !!
Gospel. Singer
He sang it the best really give it his all
I'm an aged Metalhead (impossible to change now), but since my merry 1970s i have admired and loudly praise the Voice of Reverend Al Green. To me, he is the King of Soul. Great Soul.
I'm a young metalhead who's into this kind of music, i love this guy. Absolutely a beautiful and breathtaking performance, i won't let people forget him 🙂
Boy, he felt that,it moved in my spirit, yes Sir
I use to listen to my Brother Bobby and his Posse singing this song and even then it was always sad. From his Army Days he came home with that disease. Later in life my Big Sis took him to the VA because he was complaining about his chest. Sis told me when they returned for the results they said cancer was through-out his body. He was still in Germany went I got there in August 1977 and we had some nice times over there. Mom and the older ones are gone now and it's sure amazing how generations change. So many of Our Yonger people don't even know The LORD'S PRAYER, something we were taught as soon as we were old enough to leave "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep." GOD Is Good and see it all, GOD BLESS!!!!
even tho this song is so old the message and the lyrics of the song is still relevant. a change will come

I took my mother to see Al Green and tear just swell in my eyes for having to be fortunate
Wow....just wow!!!! Hear the ancestral spirits resonate thru the vessel that is the honourable rev Al Green. Just listened to Sam & Otis's renditions too. These brothers cannot be compared as each bring their own magic to the table. The end result in each case is the same however.....leaving the listener with chills down their spine & an ache in their soul. Three different men singing one song with contrasting vibrations arriving at the same destination....The TRUTH!!! When Sir Bob Marley stated 'one good thing about music when it hits you you feel no pain' it was songs of this calibre that he was referring to.....
Succinct Bro. Much love to truth.
***** Thanks bro I did my best sir! - I truely don't believe that (the English) language is broad enough to articulate this performance in words alone.....I mean DAMN!!! Just DAMN!!(as I drop to my knees & clench my fists) as I say this - & I know that you feel me bro - much love
arch stanton this is my song becouse i now change is gonna come. No matter what im not giveing up. But i really leave this!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALBERT ARENAS keep going Albert you'll get there!
My given up I have to come in Crowley but im not giveing up because I'm not a quitter
Amazing how he can hit those high notes like an angel and sing low with so much soul! 😱😱😱💜

Lauren Pauley we

Sweet merciful Jesus.. I love him.. he brought me straight to Jesus
My Mother took me to an Al Green concert in Los Angeles when I was in high school! It was Amazing❤

My Sister, I understand your expression because of this powerful performance. But GOD does not have a mother
We grew up with him from R&B to his sermon and his gospel music what a amazing Brother
