It went into this "no talent-computer-dependent-so-called-artist", Seeing this i'm so sure that we have hit the peak of soul and we never ever will see another AL GREEN with the smooth and wonderful production from a true giant like WILLIE MITCHELL.
First comment said it ALL. No lip sync, auto tune.... Pure true raw talent , this generation of real honest talent singers would laugh at lip syncing your song for pay -- not current singers, even the Mariah Carey s' and she can blow
Al Green and his band, and the funky way they recorded his first records, with the scratchy horns, that Hammond organ created a sound and music that was totally in a class in itself. His emotional falsetto, unique resonance of his body, created a new different 'color' in the sound of a soul singer. PERFECTION skinny body, and soul which oozed out his pores with every note, cemented him into fabric of Soul soul music.. Memphis, and Motown. I loved. The instrumentation and arrangements of those early songs, cemented and syndicated him into something totally unique.
Happy 76th Birthday today April 13, 2022 to the great Al Green, born April 13, 1946. Al Green is one of the most enduring soul singers of the rock era, and is considered by many the most important male singer since Sam Cooke. He has also been referred to as "The Last of the Great Soul Singers." His early 70s work on Hi Records sounds as good today as it did then, and his legend has continued to grow over the past quarter century even as he generally turned his back on popular music. Green is the winner of 11 Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. He has also received the BMI Icon award and is a Kennedy Center Honors recipient. He was included in the list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, ranking at No. 65, as well as its list of the 100 Greatest Singers, at No. 14.
@@billv1072 I agree that the original recording is probably better. But don’t disrespect the great Tina Turner by calling her version, which some considers iconic, to be a “little karaoke”. Rude 😑
@@MarciaSantos-ox1fk I've listened to the best for many years, and am entitled to my opinion. Respect has nothing to do with it. Tina Turner was a great talent, and will be sadly missed. But on this song, I believe her cover was merely "passable". Maybe listen a little more before you call someone rude? Not everyone has to agree with you, or with me. It's ok.
@@billv1072 well clearly there’s something wrong with your ears for you to refer to Tina’s version, which was a monster hit record, as “passable”. Tina’s version not only went to no.1 in several countries but was also the best selling 12” record in 1984 thereby outselling Al’s version. Of course you’re entitled to your “opinion” but I’m also entitled to call out your BS statement and pathetic attempt to diminish Tina’s success with the record.
i always enjoyed watching Reverend Al Green LIVE.....He is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE MALE R&B SINGER, Followed by Marvin Gaye (Distant Lover), Otis Redding (Try a Little Tenderness, Cigarettes and Coffee) Barry White (Just The Way You Are, Your My First, My Last, My Everything) Selah
This is a man whose psyche, voice & music exemplified Romantic Love; when all the things called "Valuable" in our civilization are counted and ranked, this damn well should be at the top no matter where the rocket engines take the human race.
QUANxboy56, mhertz25: You have to watch his performances on "Soul!" with a mostly Black audience to see the difference. Believe it or not, in his January 3, 1973 appearance on "Soul!" he wears the same jacket. In order, they are: "Let's Stay Together", "Tired Of Being Alone", "Look What You Done For Me", "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart", "Judy." and "Love and Happiness."
Al Green's music is absolutely timeless; will never get old; transcends time, genre, race and all barriers. Thankyou Rev. Green for your contributions to the music world, you will NEVER be forgotten....
Hi edagdwg my son loved this special story of what a women respect and want that man making each other happy true love is a real gift from god only linda j. Peace
Another Fun Fact : A pack of Cigarettes were 50 cents,and were sold at any age from cigarette machines.When you put the money in and pulled the lever for the brand that you want,your pack would drop out with a book of matches.
You will always be in my heart back then when I was 15..now 65...you are the class..love. ..soft...n sometimes don't understand but it's okay because your soft voice love etc etc...will always calm me love you always ❤️ 💗
Still love this man, now he sings for God, when I was young n others like me, had a real deep crush on him, he doesn’t know how much women loves him then n still now
Apparently Al was booked to sing at a funeral. All of the folks in the room patiently waited for Al to finish so the eulogy could continue. They wanted to move to the music and react to it, but, you know, it was a funeral so....
My girlfriend saw him in concert in the seventies. Got there early to get in front because he gave out red roses. We didn’t get a rose but amazing concert. Never forget it!
Hi edagdwg hearing this special story of what only god can do love keeps people together enjoying each other is a real gift of true love Linda j. Peace linda j peace
I'M HAWAIIAN FROM HAWAII AND APPRECIATE A BEAUTIFUL VOICE WHEN I HEAR ONE... AND THANKS TO YOU, AL GREEN... I BELIEVE YOU INSPIRED THE BEAUTIFUL VOICES OF THE VARIOUS BLACK MALE GROUPS TO COME FORTH DURING THE 70s!!! THEIR VOICES WERE JUST OUTSTANDING!!!

I am so glad i got to witness greatness in the 70's in Al Green and another favorite of mine of that era Teddy Pendergrass. Imagine having two of the greatest that ever lived singing their hits and be able to see both live. I am blessed and full of the best everlasting memories of my musical life.
I love me an audience who does nothing but pause everything and just enjoy the music and relax to the tune, huge respect if you ask me. But let's not talk about this generation, would have been doing the most, screaming across the room, cell phones out, not enjoying the moment... This is what life is about ppl, soak it all into your soul not SD card.

When singers were singers. They stood alone, no lip syncing, auto tune, just pure talent! Where did it all go?

The whole world at present is bogus as a $3.00 bill.
Love Al Green. But..there’s lots of great singers in today’s world as well.
I know what happened to rel beautiful natural singing 😍
@@stevehooker1636 name em. Who sings live this well?? I'll wait.
There's a reason it was called "soul music". Singing in it's purest form!
Exactly, you can FEEL it
This is when music was good back in the day
This sure is soul music, It speaks to your soul.
I’m 58 Tamika and I’m thinking I probably watched this on tv. The 70s will never leave me
One of the greatest songs ever ❣️
We used to get off work on Friday afternoon and play Al Green till Sunday night. If Al Green don't warm you up, your woods wet.
How can the audience sit I there and hear this song and not groove?
Let’s Stay Together written in 15 minutes. Performed live like this …pure magic
He was the man of this kind of music he melted women and got to say can’t remember how many times I listened to this in the 1970’ what a singer
Al Green. The complete vocal package.
Perfecto.
A true living legend. An American treasure.
Such a beautiful song. Never tired of hearing it. Al Green was so fabulous!
I love me some classic soul anytime any decade😉
he is just to cool for school
It's impossible to hear this song and not think of Pulp Fiction.
That man hits INCREDIBLE NOTES effortlessly -
I now TOTALLY see how women could have lost their minds over him. Have Mercy!!!! Fione!!!!!
The suit, the bling, the fro, the voice…so cool
These days the young folk call it "swag".
Al Green had in dozens.
Real music!! No Auto Tune or Lip Syncing not needed here! ✌😉
One of my favorite songs
First comment said it ALL. No lip sync, auto tune.... Pure true raw talent , this generation of real honest talent singers would laugh at lip syncing your song for pay -- not current singers, even the Mariah Carey s' and she can blow
This is a master piece
wow he was gorgeous❤
OH Yes! 1972 I was in the 2nd grade but my Mother was crazy about him ♥️ love you Momma
@@karenwilliams3480 what upp
Agree, 100% man
AL green wearing that famous silk& wool suit. 70s style.❤
Pure class!
Al Green and Darryl Hall ... Soul and Philly Soul, best of the rest

Enterprise Orchestra
Classical. This song stands for a whole period of soul music.
Al Green 💚 Golden icon musical genius.😊 Much 💚 always.
All is still to me the last of the great soul singers long live al
The audience were not passive they were spellbound awesome can't take your eyes off him

Love the turtleneck and plaid suit!
Al Green's songs go practically un-covered, because everyone hears him and thinks, "I can't do it as well, much less better"
Tina did an excellent cover of this song ❤
@@MarciaSantos-ox1fk To each his own. I thought it was just ok. A little kareoke-like. About 1 & 1/2 steps below the original, but still ok.

that jacket and turtleneck tho - my favorite look on him.
Um clássico dos anos 70 onde grandes nomes despontaram fazendo a música negra soul music valorizar se
I saw him perform back in the day in that look. I love it too. He was wonderful.
I believe Al Green improvised every time he sang. The moment was always one of a kind.
i always enjoyed watching Reverend Al Green LIVE.....He is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE MALE R&B SINGER, Followed by Marvin Gaye (Distant Lover), Otis Redding (Try a Little Tenderness, Cigarettes and Coffee) Barry White (Just The Way You Are, Your My First, My Last, My Everything) Selah

All eyes glued to him, total PRO
I Wil stay
Just cannot get enough of listening to this song.... bloody AWESOME!!!
Wow! That Voice is smooth as silk, Love Al's music

I fell in love with the Good Reverend when I was 13, 50 years ago. Happy Birthday Al Green.

might be the best pop romantic song of all time
1972. . . Geez, this was my cut. . . And I was like twelve going on thirteen and had my first crush. . . A crush that lasted three years.
IN 72 I was in Nam and we heard this on the radio all the time then again when I Was in Thailand.

You are a hero!!!
Hi edagdwg my son loved this special story of what a women respect and want that man making each other happy true love is a real gift from god only linda j. Peace

You will always be in my heart back then when I was 15..now 65...you are the class..love. ..soft...n sometimes don't understand but it's okay because your soft voice love etc etc...will always calm me love you always ❤️ 💗

Bryan Alfonso. you are full of bullshit..

Why would they have him play this song at a funeral
Remember.listening.to.these.songs.on.8.track.tapes.as.a.kid.in.the.seventies.those.were.the.best.music.of.all.times
Let's stay together USA.
GREAT SONG FROM 1972. BRINGS BACK GREAT MEMORIES WHEN I WAS IN GRADUATE SCHOOL.
Wow, what an outstanding voice and singer.
My heartbeat, Mr. Al Green!!!!
I was reading all the comments and laughed so hard that I spit my tea out.
He is so smooth
My girlfriend saw him in concert in the seventies. Got there early to get in front because he gave out red roses. We didn’t get a rose but amazing concert. Never forget it!
Very handsome man with a golden VOICE ❤
I love his suit ! Al Grey ! Such an amazing song and voice too !

The baddest singing man on the planet. Al Green 1972.
WHAT A VOICE!!! NOTHIN LIKE IT!!! SING BLACK MEN SING!!!
What a voice. Just effortless.
17 and grieving my girlfriend pregnant and aborting by another guy. He helped me thru it. Thank you Mr. Al Green
They must have been instructed to just watch with no emotion, because it's impossible to listen to Al Green and not move and groove.
Because this was back in 1972! Times have changed since then!
Were you there?
Most likely just doing what they were told during filming.
Now you know he could not have been out walking around in the audience w/some sistas around. 😀
Ya, What's up with the crowd.its like the blue room.no kinka of groove
Beautiful!!!

Pastor Al Green an Icon in his own time, He was favored born with a purpose that must be Lived by Divine Intervention
Wow. Pure talent.
