This man it's just one of the most soulful singers ever, I saw him in the late nineties at the Beacon theater in New York City and he is just phenomenal. His voice was still intact, hit all the notes along with rising inflections and ad libs . He sounded just as good as he did on the records that I listen to in the early 70s I was a little kid listening on my transistor radio and to my older sister's albums.. Except this time nearly 30 years after I first got turned on to his groove. There he was 5 ft in front of me on the stage!!!! Live in the flesh commanding all attention!!!!He was handing out roses to all the girls in the first few rows where I was sitting. The guy still had the Midas touch!!!
1971, and I was in the 8th grade and would sing this to my girlfriend. I'm 67 years old now, and what memories this song brings back. Al Green was "The man" in the early to mid 70s.
Ahhh, AL Green. A great part of why growing up in the 70s were a magnificent time. His "I'm Still In Love With You" is another mover. He has so many. He, Barry, and Marvin round out the trifecta of why so many were conceived in the 70s.😁
You guys crack me up, and, yeah, this is a shortened version because there is some very fine singing that goes on afterwards. Great music will go on from one generation to another, because I'm here to tell you that I heard this song in 1971, when it first came out, and I was 23 at the time and it's still such a matchless piece of music by Green after all these years. My legs may not be stable, but I'm still able to groove around hearing this. Big thanks, Asia and JB. Robert, 74, UK.
You just hit the song that turned me on to the Fabulous Sweet Soul Sound of the late 60' s and 1970' s that I discovered at 12 years old and it' s some of the greatest music and singers that were ever created
Al Green was the man!! I had this 8 track and wore it out.❤ You have to see the Live video of him with Chicago backing him on “I’m So Tired of Being Alone.” It is so awesome!!❤️
Great reaction guys! Al Green is such a vibe with his smooth and soulful style. Just love this song! In life you're going to have those up and down moments. My wife and I have been married 52 years and we've had good times and bad. But we've stayed together through it all. Asia and BJ you have a beautiful relationship and complement each other so well. Ya'll remind me of my wife and I when we were young. I wish you the very best.❤
BJ is SO right! Don’t mess with Al Green! 🤣. Playlist since it came out…this is mine & my husband’s song and my ringtone. Never gets old!! Thanks for this! ❤️
Love al green music but with timeless classics like this one how can you not love his music. Other great songs of his are simply beautiful, (his version of the bee gees song)how can you mend a broken heart, what a wonderful thing love is, i'm still in love with you, and belle.
My fav Al Green. Even though there are more technically pure vocalists, Al just has that vibe that makes him one of the best. If you haven't reacted to Tired Of Being Alone yet. That's worth a listen. Great reaction!
Al is Fantastic! He evokes the emotions and the soul of the song! Yes, you were robbed....his ending on the song should never be cut off! It's criminal! I'm with BJ!
This song reached #1 on the Billboard Top 100 in '71, remained on the charts for 16 weeks, and was widely played on AM radio throughout the country. Al Green was truly one of the earliest black artists to appeal to young white Americans.
The one that will blow your mind is: 🩷AL GREEN "How Do You Mend A Broken Heart" (Live on Soul 1972)🩷 it leaves me speechless. It's a Bee Gees song that he truly made his own. Barry loved it.
I love Al Green, a Memphis treasure. One of my friends in Memphis shared with me her Graceland policy. She’d take guests from out of town to Graceland, but only on Sunday after they went to Al Green’s church first. (They are surprisingly close.) It was a great plan, so I stole it. Made for an interesting trip!
Oh my! Story time lol I was blessed to be enriched by black culture, my best friend and his family. Such memories of staying over his house and those cook outs when the family and friends got together eating, the music, the smell of food in the air oh my. The ladies would put this song on and tell me "come here baby" dance with us they love this little chunky white boy moves lol They used to tell me oh my you can move, and I used to eat it up! lol Al on in the background and that food goodness what good memories. Miss those times so much. Thanks for the post guys and the memories lol Stay safe and much love Asia and BJ
Another great soul singer. "Let's Stay Together" was Al Green's biggest hit. But he had a lot of great songs in the 70's including "Take Me To The River", "Tired Of Being Alone", "I'm Still In Love With You", "Love & Happiness", "For The Good Times" etc. He also became a pastor after facing a tragedy in his life (girlfriend's suicide) & performed gospel music for a time.
This is my FAVORITE Al Green song. Back in the day, all of us little teeny-boppers were secretly thinking of throwing our drawers up on the stage! This is such a sexy song, and NO ONE will ever sing it as well as Al Green.
There was a time when music was good, and I mean good. During that time, there was music that elevated itself above others, and I mean elevated. Then there were songs such as this, songs that were born in heaven, sung by an angel, and I mean an angel. Al Green...just too special for mere mortals like me to listen to. He is the epidemy of soul, his voice, his delivery...it just pierces my soul and makes me feel sooooooo good.
My daughter is 39 since I can remember that she has been married with kids I never went in her house Al CD wasn't blasting while she was fixing dinner and dancing with her 3 girls. Kitchen was full of flavor and ❤️ love.
Thank you for playing Al Green I've been listening to him since I was 11 he is the greatest President Obama sang the song to Michelle Obama on TV I remember that
If you opened up my 8 track box in the early 70's there sat Al Green right in the middle of Grand Funk, Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, Alice Cooper, David Bowie, Deep Purple. Al was there to keep me in check with all that rock.
Yes, The incomparable Reverent Al Green. I have his Greatest hits on Cassette. Al did a great cover of The Bee Gees tune "How can you mend a broken Heart," it was included in the Soundtrack for the Movie "Book of Eli" starring Denzel Washington. I like "Love and happiness; Tired of being alone, I'm still in love with you & Lets stay together," The last 2 songs were released in 1972. I heard "Never Nothing" Asia I'm impressed, You make BJ proud. I hear Guitar Arpeggios in the middle of the Mix, that'd be an awesome addition to the Mix, Nice Chords and the Vocals are impressive and Soulful. I like Alicia Keys "Songs in the Key of A Minor." I have a few R&B, Jazzy & Funk originals that lack Lyrics, been procrastinating finishing but hearing "Never Nothing" was inspiration much needed. You both are Cool, Stay Warm and Take Care.
One of the BEST soulful love songs of all time. If this doesn't get you in the mood, better check your pulse. Hey guys, if you hard it hard to find the words, just play this for your girl...Mission accomplished!
Al is one of the 5 or 6 great all-time soul singers: Ray, Sam, Otis, Aretha, James and Al. Check out Al's "Love And Happiness" or "I'm Still In Love With You" next. 😊
Ah, yes. The Reverend Al - voice smooth as butter. A classic r&b from a legendary voice.🔥👍
Old school R&B! I'm beyond grateful, to have grown up in a time, when this music was all over the radio. So good!
Al Green is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! Can't beat
The 70's !! ❤️

Smooth and soulful. Al Green is phenomenal.
Mother used to have Al Green parties... Nothing but his music! Thanks for the memories Momma! RIP❤
I remember as a kid listening to this on AM radio! Good times!
😎✌️❤️
Man, that trumpet!
Love love me some Al Green! Gotta love that sultry voice! ❤
1971, and I was in the 8th grade and would sing this to my girlfriend. I'm 67 years old now, and what memories this song brings back.
Al Green was "The man" in the early to mid 70s.
The incomparable Al Green. A voice so smooth, like a cool smooth summer breeze. This song is Great
One of the smoothest voices ever. My momma loved him. She had soul and so did he.
Ahhh, AL Green. A great part of why growing up in the 70s were a magnificent time. His "I'm Still In Love With You" is another mover. He has so many. He, Barry, and Marvin round out the trifecta of why so many were conceived in the 70s.😁
This song is perfection! His voice is so smooth. I remember this song playing at the skating rink when I was a kid. Loved it!
Whether Times are Good or Bad... Happy or Sad.... LOVE IT ❤❤❤❤❤
LOVEEEEEE AL Green ❤❤❤❤❤

Met him a few times in Memphis, my wife worked for the company that handles his securities. The Rev. Al Green is a very nice person🌹
Loving the soulful and smooth music of AL Green. He was one of the best. Thanks for your great reactions. Enjoy you two. 😃 🇨🇦
Classic 70s soul. Ain’t nothing like it
You can say that again lol so true
I love love Al Green ! This song always gets me ! The man has so much soul .
Silky smooth 70's mood music, nothing like this now, Al had many classics.
Wife here.
SOOO AMAZING..LOVE AL GREENE AND THIS SONG!!💕
This song is easily in my top 10 of all time. Such a classic and BJ is right you never get tired of hearing this one.
Same here! It's so under-rated.
@@gigantor62 Top 5 for me
One of my favorite songs
Al Green was the man!! I had this 8 track and wore it out.❤ You have to see the Live video of him with Chicago backing him on “I’m So Tired of Being Alone.” It is so awesome!!❤️

One of my all-time favorite songs!!! Love me some Al Green!
The Reverend Al !! Nice reaction. Back in the 70’s, radio would play this song 12 times a day, didn’t bother me one bit !! 😁
The Reverend...always gives me goosebumps. Love this song.
👍❤🤙
I love how in sync you two were at 1:29 - 1:30 when you both clicked your fingers and stopped at the same time🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️
This is such a beautiful song from the fantastic voice of Al Green. Goosebumps!! ❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶
BJ is SO right! Don’t mess with Al Green! 🤣. Playlist since it came out…this is mine & my husband’s song and my ringtone. Never gets old!! Thanks for this! ❤️

Girls in high school used to dance to this in class when it came out and schooled this rock n roll guy. I still have his greatest hits album.
Al Green had smoothness in abundance. This may be an oldie but it's definitely a goldie and has stood the test of time. Fabulous song ❤
My fav Al Green. Even though there are more technically pure vocalists, Al just has that vibe that makes him one of the best. If you haven't reacted to Tired Of Being Alone yet. That's worth a listen. Great reaction!
Great song to begin your show. Incredible performance from The Reverend!!!
Al is Fantastic! He evokes the emotions and the soul of the song! Yes, you were robbed....his ending on the song should never be cut off! It's criminal! I'm with BJ!
So great to hear this again! 🥰 Fabulous! Stay sweet, you two! 🥰
This song reached #1 on the Billboard Top 100 in '71, remained on the charts for 16 weeks, and was widely played on AM radio throughout the country. Al Green was truly one of the earliest black artists to appeal to young white Americans.
It's a beautiful song and his voice is just wonderful! Asia, so glad to see that you look like you're feeling better!
Al green’s tracks always manages to fuse gritty drums with smooth soul melodies-it’s miraculous…Love & happiness is another great track of his💯
The one that will blow your mind is:
🩷AL GREEN "How Do You Mend A Broken Heart" (Live on Soul 1972)🩷 it leaves me speechless. It's a Bee Gees song that he truly made his own. Barry loved it.
Al Green brings back lots of memories from the early '70s! Wow!

Al is The Man! I agree BJ.. that voice is like no other..soulful.
The epitome of cool, classy soul. Loved your reaction guys. Thank you 😊.
This started it all for Al Green and he never looked back. A huge hit. An iconic song!
Oooohhhh - I love this song from Al Green. What a voice!
Now that's soul! Love Al Green😘
I went to school with Al nephew and nieces East Kentwood high suburbs of Grand Rapids Michigan. Great gospel singer
al green is just a big puddle of warm magic. :)
I love to hear Al Green! I'm glad I grew up in this Era of music. Thank you for taking your time and sharing with us. 🇺🇸

Don’t forget “How Do You Mend A Broken Heart?”.
You just can’t get any better than this ! Honestly , his voice is so sincere and soulful . This song is part of my childhood and it never gets old .
This is my FAVORITE Al Green song. Back in the day, all of us little teeny-boppers were secretly thinking of throwing our drawers up on the stage! This is such a sexy song, and NO ONE will ever sing it as well as Al Green.

My daughter is 39 since I can remember that she has been married with kids I never went in her house Al CD wasn't blasting while she was fixing dinner and dancing with her 3 girls. Kitchen was full of flavor and ❤️ love.
Al is simply amazing!
It was cut short! Beautiful song, great delivery. Miss the ‘70s but still have the music and movies to keep me happy
This song still sounds good
Love Al Green - that sound is classic.
When I was 12 my big brother showed me al green. Since that day I was hooked. His songs are amazing.
Thank you for playing Al Green I've been listening to him since I was 11 he is the greatest President Obama sang the song to Michelle Obama on TV I remember that
Yes sir! Al Green, Marvin Gay, Barry White, Luther Vandross will just melt your heart!
Yeah he's got that vocal swagger!
What a great voice, feeling, range and so unique!
Grew up with Al! Green is blue! Just so good!!❤
One of my all-time favorite songs
One of my favourite songs by my favourite singer. I wish you would listen to the live version as it is even better.
I listened to Al Green since the 60s , my siblings & I are from the 40s 50s & 60 s i'm the youngest
If you opened up my 8 track box in the early 70's there sat Al Green right in the middle of Grand Funk, Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, Alice Cooper, David Bowie, Deep Purple. Al was there to keep me in check with all that rock.
Always loved this song! He had a style like Smokey Robinson but had a richer voice. Love your reactions especially to an all time great love song
Asia & BJ, you’ll LOVE his “Tired Of Being Alone”!!!!
A classic from the early 70s. Such a great era for music! People wanted to make music that mattered.
Good ole Soul Music, always loved this song, a great slow dance song
I remember listening to this in 1972 on WLS (AM) in Chicago. Don't know what my older sisters were listening to, but yeah: this is 100 my music.
The 70s was a special time for music and AG was one of those
Al Green ❤️
AL is definitely smooth and has a unique style. 👌

Oh yeah 👍
Love this one! My parents used to play this when I was a kid & now it's on my play lists. I can still see the album cover too.
Love Love Love this one!!!! Haven't tried yet, but I think I could listen to it for days.
One of the BEST soulful love songs of all time. If this doesn't get you in the mood, better check your pulse. Hey guys, if you hard it hard to find the words, just play this for your girl...Mission accomplished!

Wow! Brings me back to great times!
Great singer
The Reverend!!! .... just amazing!!
Saw him live, in Oakland, with Buddy Guy and Santana. That was a great show.
