My brother loved al green, and this was one of his favourites. Lost my brother in August so i am here to pay tribute to my late brother William... and to Al Green.
I remember this old man who lived at a hospice. He used to sit on his wheelchair outside in the sun listening to his radio. One time this song was playing on his radio and he was happily dancing in his wheelchair and enjoying the music, and in that moment he was happy and everything was alright. You could tell the music took him back to a better time and place in his life. It was comforting to a dying man. That's how you really know that this music has soul!
Bless you❤. May the music keep you smiling with good memories. my uncle loved this and played it on our way to the country so we liked it because he made us listen to it the entire trip😂
I was 14 when this song came out. My Mother would play this song all the time and Have You Been Making Out Ok. Miss you Mom, I know you are in Heaven now. She loved Al Green. Sweet Memories!
I used to sneak my dads cassette into my room growing up and I would blast it til just bout I heard his car in the yard lol... Great Memories! Great Music!
I loved this record. When it came out, I begged my mother to buy it for me. One night she bought it. Momma had a 65' yellow mustang with a black soft top. We went to Dolphins of Hollywood on Central Avenue and Vernon in South Central L.A. , and that's where she purchased the 45 single. Well that particular evening, I accidentally broke the record and was afraid to tell momma because she bern drinking. I must have caught her in a good mood because she didn't get mad at me and she easily purchased another 45 single. Good times!
I LOVE YOU POPS, today was your birthday and we miss you, I'm wearing your necklace beautiful man, In memory of you and your love for us. Love you always and miss you. ❤️ I know you was crazy about Al green music 😊
This is the first 45 I ever had. Mom and dad bought it for me in 1974. I might even still have it somewhere. :). I believe the other side of the 45 was “School Days”, an underrated song. Give it a listen.
There was this guy that used to come from Fla with my cousin A.C. to visit us in Ga and he had this entire album playing that day, I was just a kid and today at 40 years old I remember it like it was yesterday. May they both continue to RIH😢
To me this was one of his biggest hits! But I don't understand why it didn't climb a little bit higher on the pop chart and it should have been another No.1 hit on the soul music charts, his voice is one of a kind and legendary!
The Holiday got me here but I sorta remember it I was 15 in 74. I remember even more that album he did like 71 I was in 7th grade it was so good. Actually most people remember high school as their favorite time but not me I remember junior high being the BEST time ever! Girls girls girls a whole new chapter in life. 😎✌️❤️
Growing in the 1970s. We had all Al Greene music. He is part of the family as far as I am concern. He stated in an interview that he and fans grown up together I agree
I remember in the 90’s when I was in middle school we would sneak a Al Green cassette tape into school and our 7th period teacher would let us listen to it as long as we finished our assignments Al Green music is timeless! My mother was a 70’s kid she blessed me with her great taste in music!
THIS MONTH IN MUSIC HISTORY The album “Al Green Explores Your Mind” was released 50 years ago this month (October 1974 - specific date N/A). It peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B album charts and #15 on the pop album charts. [10/16/2024]
There is a beauty in happiness, even love to a dog, cat, children; happiness for the sun especially after many cloudy days...a big "ah," like this song - sunny, grateful, appreciative. Liked this as a kid and am loving it even more as an adult.
Love everything about this song...great horn section, perfect chord changes, great beat...just wish we could have heard a little more of Al's fabulous falsetto at the end! Still sounds as good as ever.
Fellas, when she getting on your last nerve, and u at a lost for words, Al gave us the words to say in this little short rendition. This is the gospel, boy...u hear me?
....And once I see you I can't leave your love alone, ....... THIS tune has always been my favorite Al Green tune, a top all time favorite for that matter. It's R&B at it's finest.
I have this song on a cassette from when I was a little kid. I still have the cassette, but I like listening to this song here on this TH-cam channel instead inasmuch as it's much clearer. Thank you for posting it.:)
I LOVE that you kept your cassette!!🥰👍 This music sounds just as fresh as ever, and will stand the test of time when others have come and gone. Keep listening to THE GOOD STUFF!! 🤩💕💕💕

One day making breakfast at home coffee brewing on the pot and listening to Al Green music
Fifty years later, this song still sounds fresh. Like it was recorded today. Al Green’s music is timeless.

Kim Clark Thank Al for that..lol..wish him happy 🎂..today he is 74
There are few establishments that say, "LA" like "Dolphins of Hollywood!" When L.A. was L.A.!!! Great story!!
Timeless.Will still sound fresh in 2074.
Who would ever give this a "thumbs down"?? Mercy. Loving me some Al Green for generations. This song reminds everyone of "Someone".💘

Al is the man then and now i grew up in the 80s and I prefer this to hip-hop from then the 90s and now
LOVE ME SOME AL GREEN FROM THE CRIB TO THE GRAVE
To me this was one of his biggest hits! But I don't understand why it didn't climb a little bit higher on the pop chart and it should have been another No.1 hit on the soul music charts, his voice is one of a kind and legendary!
Might be his very best, how about that background music? Makes me want to get up and shout and move to the groove😀😀
I was 7 years old when this song was released.... I remember it like yesterday.❤
The Holiday got me here but I sorta remember it I was 15 in 74. I remember even more that album he did like 71 I was in 7th grade it was so good.

Shabalala..great vibe😅
This song never fails to lift the spirits and will always be summer of 75 for me. And the way the Memphis Horns reach for the sky. Oh yeah
How was the summer of 75, if you can remember 48 years ago?...did you remember hearing this very song?
@@mocancer3232 yep, I have the original vinyl LP bought in 75, and used to play this song at the club I worked at
Shhhosh don't give away ur age I'm 68 and used to pay this on my cassette head phones on and meeting my wife with butterfly's ❤😂
The year I graduated from high school. This makes me happy.
