My first concert, as a teenager, was to see the "Green Machine", Mr. Al Green. His current hit song at the time was You Ought To Be With Me. Walking out on the stage, with the tune to this song playing, wearing an all white 3-piece suit & carrying 2 dozen, long stem, red roses, the crowd was in a frenzy. The ladies, in this 15,000 seat concert arena, was making a beeline to the front of the stage to try to get a rose from this young man. What a way to open his show. It was the early 1970's & I still remember Green's concert like it was yesterday. Oh, what a time to be a teenager. Historic.
Al Green is an icon Hall of Famer. How do yo Mend A Broken Heart, For the Good Times, I'm Still in Love With You, Love and Happiness and on and on, GREAT SONGS.
I discovered Al Green, Jacky Wilson, Rufus Thomas, James Brown, Roy Hamilton, BB King and many great entertainers by diving into Elvis's life. These artists are great and they should be played much more. Thank you for this reaction!💚🎶
Oh Lord he makes me feel so old. Talking about a long term relationship. I've been in a relationship longer than he's been alive. 28 yrs. Enjoying your journey young man.
I love this song and why I remember him as smooth Al Green. If I could have sung like this man I would have had the babes all over me. Love and respect, brother, hog fam Canada
Al Green is one of my all time favorites!! His sound is totally fire...:) This song was a HUGE HIT!!! they played it sooooo much on the radio...Xxx Thank you for another awesome reaction!!!
It reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed on the charts for 16 weeks. Apparently it took him about"100 takes" before he was happy with what he heard...;-) It's ranked 60th greatest song of all time by Rolling Stone magazine :)
Released as part of the 1968 album Let's Stay Together, the Reverend (He is) Al Green just took you to church. Not blues or soul, this is heavy gospel influenced. Be with the one you love, love the one your with.
Legend has it that a young Al was playing Jackie Wilson records and his (preacher) father put him out. Jackie, Al, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, and Walter Williams of the OJAYS are the cream of the crop!! It don't get no better!
You love AL Green this is the soul I grew up with, there is so much good soul of the 70s he was a hit machine . Try listening to Tower of Power , Your still a young man
In the mid-seventies, Al became a minister after loosing his girlfriend to suicide .. He also formed his own church during that time. He has won over 10 Grammy's, been inducted into the RRHofF in 1995, awarded another Grammy for Lifetime Achievement in 2002 and was a Kennedy Center Honor recipient in 2014.
If you want to expand your horizons, listen to Dimash sing “SOS.” Many believe him to be the best singer in the world. His vocal range spans 6-8 octaves depending on who you ask and sings in many different languages. He’s been studying music since the age of 5. There’s much more to know about him but you have to hear him to believe it. The version of “SOS” that he sang at the Slavic Bazaar is the best. Trust me, you will only regret if you are afraid to try something that you are probably not used to. 😁
This song is ageless! Never have gotten tired hearing it. 😊
Al Green....smooth and soulful.
"How Do You Mend a Broken Heart"
This was played at my wedding.
Al Green is a necessary cosmic force. I'm glad I grew up with Al.

He deserves all those honors.
