If you haven't heard "Let's Stay Together", that should be your next song by Al. If you have, then I recommend "Tired of Being Alone". Every early '70s Al Green hit is good, so I hope you come back to him soon.
Omg. My mom played this man’s music all the time, and if she had her friends over, it was an Al Greene party . Wonderful memories of a 70s childhood. His song “For The Good Times”. Whew…
OMG yes! A 70s childhood..great memories! I remember the grown folks would be in the front room playing records on the record player, drinking cocktails and smoking cigarettes(I mean, it was the 70s). And the kids would be in a back room watching tv and playing games, and sometimes we’d sneak out into the hallway to listen to the music and laughter. Good times!🥰
@Bronwyn-cf3um Wow, did we all have identical childhoods? You painted the picture exactly. For me, it would be aunts, uncles, and my cousins. We would be watching TV or listening to our own music while playing boardgames. I had a collection of other stuff from prior Christmases like a pinball machine, a 3 in 1 pool table, air hockey, and ping-pong table. I look back at those times with great joy and a bit of melancholy because the adults are all gone even many of my cousins. I, myself, had come close calls due to epilepsy and kidney failure. I thank my parents, aunts, and uncles, for the wisdom they gave me. The music and Good Times* then were truly fun, and the best! *Had to give a salute to the CHIC song and to the TV show that gave the world Thelma Evans aka Bernadetts Stanis my first crush!😂
@@seanswinton6242 Yes, many of my grown folks and cousins have gone on to glory as well and I miss them, but I have the memories to warm my heart. No era in time was perfect, but the 70s were pretty great and I’m glad I was a kid then. I’m sorry about your health issues and I pray that you are blessed with healing, love and many years to come.🙏🏽💖
Now you're talking! I was a huge Al Green fan back in the day and still listen to this same album regularly. There is not a bad song on this album. The music on this album just makes you feel good and mellow. This is his prime. Horns are smooth and subtle. His voice oozes soul. This is REAL music. Do "Let's Get Married" "Tired of Being Alone" and "Let's Stay Together" from this album. PLEASE!
Finally. I can't believe you haven't done a deeper dive on him. Between his falsetto and the Memphis horns... Here are more to check out from him: let’s stay together, you ought to be with me, call me, sha-la-la, tired of being alone, I’m still in love with you, here I am (come and take me), look what you done for me, love is a beautiful thing, for the good times, funny how time slips away (also done by ray price and there's a lovely cover of this with al green and lyle lovett you should check out as well). And he and Annie Lennox do a nice version of Put A Little Love In Your Heart.
Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson and AL Green are the HOLY TRINITY OF MALE VOICES outside of the JAZZ genre! Then I would go with David Ruffin! Thanks for reacting to THE GOOD REVEREND! Great Video! Great Reaction!
Yes, David Ruffin's My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me) and they could play Jimmy Ruffin's What Becomes of the Broken Hearted. They could also play Eddie Kendricks Keep on Truckin' and Boogie Down.
Don't forget Al Wilson singing "Show And Tell", "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers, Bobby Womack singing "If You Think You're Lonely Now" and "Across 110th Street" and The Dramatics great tune "In The Rain." Enjoy!
In our tradition , especially in the JAZZ Genre, the voice in and of itself is an instrument. That being said, David Ruffin 's ability to convey the emotions of any song makes him top tear. That's why he's near of the top of my list. Marvin Gaye and Prince are next on my list.
Yes! One of the best! Should be on your daily playlist His song "Let's Stay Together" is great too. In fact, pick up his greatest hits as you will want each song on your playlist.
I love this one! I remember watching my parents and other relatives tear up the floor on this one, and when I was older and understood the lyrics, I felt the song even more and tore up the floor, too. 😊 One night, I was at the club with friends and a man in his early 70s asked me to dance to this song. He was a little more than forty years older than me, but he showed out. I danced with him a lot that night as he put the guys in their 30s to shame. 😄 Next by Al... "For the Good Times". My boyfriend used to play that one a lot. Slow dancing to it on repeat made for many romantic evenings.😊
Al Green is one of the greatest singers of the rock era: His best songs include: "Tired Of Being Alone", "I'm Still In Love With You", "Let's Stay Together", "Look What You've Done For Me", "You Ought To Be With Me", "For The Good Times".
I am very proud to be a 55 yr old white grandma who CANNOT clean house without Al singing me through it. I am a happy girl when his music is filling the air. No matter where I catch him, my heart gets all kinds of happy. Love this man from toddler and through eternity.
That hard driving rhythm is courtesy of the Hi Rhythm section (as in Hi Records, the label for which it was recorded) - Mabon “Teenie” Hodges on guitar, his brothers Charles on organ and Leroy on bass, and Howard Grimes and Al Jackson, Jr. on drums. Horns by Wayne Jackson, of the Memphis Horns, on trumpet and Jack Hale on trombone. The song was written by Al Green and Teenie Hodges. Who co-wrote several of Al’s hits, including Take Me to the River. Another great Hi Records song featuring the Hi Rhythm section you don’t want to miss is Ann Peebles “I Can’t Stand the Rain” - a great Friday choice!
Ann Peebles is, also, the original artist for: "Come To Mama" ...which is, likely, more famously recognized as Bob Seger's cover, thereof: "Come To Poppa" (with the Swampers). 🤘🤘
Rev. Al is the GOAT. If you did a month of Al 3 times a day, you still wouldn't scratch the surface of this man's greatness. Everything he recorded from the early 1970s to the 2000s is pure fire.
Al Green's Greatest Hits could be retitled Soul's Greatest Hits! I was a little kid (early 70's) at the height of his popularity, and I feel lucky! He 'found religion' after his woman confronted him about his cheating and poured HOT GRITS onto him!! He changed his ways to the point where he became a reverend!! Even when he switched to gospel, it still had that funk/soul!!
I've been a huge Al fan since I was a kid in the 70's and knew that story for decades...then I found out about 10 years ago that the woman who poured the hot grits on him has the same name as me!!! There went my fantasy of going up to Al, telling him what a big fan I am and introducing myself!😮
I knew Amber could tell she was about to get something real good for her ears when she made that "stink face" (2:00) when the beat dropped. LOL, she was smelling that funk way down deep in her soul. 😁
Al Green started as a Gospel singer. His father was a pastor and he did not approve of Als soul music. Thank God Al didn't listen. His voice is EVERYTHING! ❤❤❤❤ LOVE y'all's videos. They make my day. Keep them coming!
Al sort of stopped performing while doing his Preaching, then started doing some small shows and what. I used to work with a fellow who drummed for AL when he did gigs down around NOLA up into Southern Mississippi. He had a calendar with gigs listed so if someone forgot they could check to see if Milton had to go drum for AL. Al posted a pic on Twitter some time back, someone pasted that pic of him on the album, over the W at Walgreen's making it an algreen's and it tickled him. "Who did this?🤣🤣"
Al Green sings from deep in his soul and just FEELS his music. "Tired of Being Alone" was the first song of his I heard on the radio as a teenager and it just moved me like few radio songs had up until that time.
First of all, Mr. Green is in a class all on his own. He exudes smooth and cool. That voice is awesome. Secondly, that band is so tight, so talented. I wish music today were more like this.
Awesome! ❤ Al Green, Marvin Gaye and Ron Isley were the smoothest velvety voices of the early 70's R&B 🎶 Great many hits these guys made, you don't hear music like this anymore. Thank you for the great memories 🥲 recommend "I'm so in love with you" and "Here I am baby". Thank you Peace! 🙏
Man! I have been waiting for ya’ll to do more of Al Green…. After Jordon initial response, looking back at Barry’s picture…. Al Green is next level IMO…. Loved it! ✌️🙂💙🐶
Well Come on y'all Mr. Al Green....man...A Legend...he is one of the best soul singers in music history!!! Period!!! Al Green...Marvin Gaye....and Stevie Wonder....are the best soul singers in music history......and Al Green is definitely is one of my all-time favorite male singers!!!!
I knew Amber was feeling "Love and Happiness" at the very beginning when she closed her eyes, made the stank face and started grooving. Great reaction! ❤
I cannot remember if you guys reacted to any of these following Al Green songs, but if not, you absolutely MUST react to them: "Let's Stay Together" "Simply Beautiful" (Queen Latifah did a remake of this song as a duet with Al Green, btw) "I'm Still In Love With You" "Tired of Being Alone"
Thank you. Please check out more of Al Green’s catalog. Also there’s a group called “Switch - song title: I call your name.” And a group called “Enchantment - song title: Gloria” both groups have amazing falsetto leads!
So glad ya'll got back to some Al Green! This is what's called grown folks music.😀 My wife and I love his music. We have several of his albums. And ya'll haven't even scratched the surface of Al's catalog of songs. I knew ya'll was in for a treat. And when that base dropped it was all over.😂 Amber, your face said it all! And Jay, there's plenty more of his songs you'll be adding to your backyard playlist. Songs like Let's Stay Together, For the Good Times, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, Tired of Being Alone, Simply Beautiful, I'm Still in Love With You, Belle, and many more. Really loved the reaction guys!
A wonderful singer who is seldom mentioned that I think you guys would really like is Jerry Butler. He was one of my parents' favorite old-school singers. They started me listening to him around 4 years old. That was the same time I began listening to Al Green, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson....all the greats of the 50's and 60's. He has such a smooth, soulful voice, very easy to listen to and enjoy. His voice was so smooth, his nickname was the "Iceman" . Please first listen to: 1. "For Your Precious Love" by Jerry Butler and The Impressions/1958 2. "Hey, Western Union Man" by Jerry Butler/1968
I had an Al Green LP when I was growing up. Let's get together is one of the best songs ever. But I was thinking, Amber, you like horns so much, I recommend Stan Getz, one of the best saxofonists ever. He was the best pairing for samba and samba jazz, and his pairing with Chet Barker is gold.
I was lucky enough to meet reverend green and told him how I would get lost in his music and lose all track of time he put his hands together and told me how much he appreciated me telling him that and that it made him feel good inside when people told him that. The man is an absolute treasure!!
Ahhhhh....Al Green! The women in my family love him. We've passed this music down generation to generation. When hard times hit, we play some Al Green and make it through.
So thankful, as a Memphian, that you are listening to the great Reverend Green once again! He has quite the catalogue. At a minimum, get his greatest hits album for your backyard sittin' around enjoyment! : - )
Just finished mix CD in car...Al Green "Can't Get Next To You" excellent❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 INXS "THE ONE THING🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷 "KICK" harmonica 👍👍👍👍 "ORIGINAL SIN" 🎷🎷🎸🎸🎵🎸🎵🎤
I first fell in love with this song when I seen him perform it on the Letterman Show. Dave was a huge Al Green fan and after hearing this song, I became one too. This and “Let’s Stay Together” are my favorites. I just love sitting in a mellow bar listening to his music. It get’s me so relaxed and in a zone. What an amazing voice and some smooth ass music.
I was between 16 and 17 when this so g came out . I'll be 65 in February. All of those songs of that period before and after sound great!!! I love AL Green ❤💕
I clicked so fast on this video. I love the voice of Al Green! His "Let’s Stay Together" is so good! And the song "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" with Annie Lennox. It was used at the end of the movie Scrooged! you saw last year. So don't be surprised if you see Bill Murray in the music video.
Al Green came from the church. He started singing in this era and the career blew up. He lives out this song and slipped up and got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. One chest full of hot grits and he became the Rev. Al Green but he still sings these songs because they are about love. My favorite is "Let's Get Married Today"
If you haven't heard "Let's Stay Together", that should be your next song by Al. If you have, then I recommend "Tired of Being Alone". Every early '70s Al Green hit is good, so I hope you come back to him soon.
They MUST do Let’s Stay Together. If it’s good enough for Obama to sing, it’s good enough for a reaction ;)
That's exactly what I came here to say🤗
How about “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?”
@@CANDOKNOWHOW I'd say that eventually they should hear that too, but I'd check out the other two first.
Can't go wrong with either of those. Love 'em!
Do yourself a favor and download the album showing on the screen. EVERY SONG IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yup - absolutely agree.
@@leodejongful they still get royalty $ for legit downloads purchased.
The best way to listen to Al Green, and any Hi-Record album, Ann Peebles, Syl Johnson etc... is on Vinyle LP.
@@Funktastic_Ed can't argue with that... I still listen to LP Vinyl 🙌 ⏺
Have you seen the video of Al Green and Chicago doing “Let’s Stay Together”?
Omg. My mom played this man’s music all the time, and if she had her friends over, it was an Al Greene party . Wonderful memories of a 70s childhood. His song “For The Good Times”. Whew…

Right up there with Terry Prendergast and Barry White
@@HarrisMiller-qw6xh
I wish they'd really get into Teddy Pendergrass. Such a great voice. 🙂
@@LMmccallL57 great singers all of them we should definitely get Mr. Prendegast up here we don't hear him enough as far as I'm concerned 🇬🇧
The Reverend!! Love anything by this man
I’m live just a few blocks from his church. Larry Dodson of the Bar-Kay’s lives a few blocks to the south of me. Yes, I live in Whitehaven.
Yes, the one and only….Brother AL!!!
Finally. I can't believe you haven't done a deeper dive on him. Between his falsetto and the Memphis horns...

One of my faves is “I’m Glad You’re Mine.”
Tired of Being Alone and Let's Stay Together are my favorites.
@lisas7046 ❤❤❤❤❤
Oh sweet Lord! Finally!! My favourite Al Green ❤❤❤
Amen!❤
Mine too and I have asked for this.
"Let's stay together", "you ought to be with me", "how can you mend a broken heart", too many to list, Al Green is the man 👍♥️🙏✌️😎
His duet of Put a Little Love in your Heart with Annie Lennox is a must.
Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson and AL Green are the HOLY TRINITY OF MALE VOICES outside of the JAZZ genre! Then I would go with David Ruffin! Thanks for reacting to THE GOOD REVEREND! Great Video! Great Reaction!
Yes, David Ruffin's My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me) and they could play Jimmy Ruffin's What Becomes of the Broken Hearted. They could also play Eddie Kendricks Keep on Truckin' and Boogie Down.
Those are 3 greats to be sure, and Marvin Gaye and Otis Redding were great too.
Don't forget Al Wilson singing "Show And Tell", "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers, Bobby Womack singing "If You Think You're Lonely Now" and
"Across 110th Street" and The Dramatics great tune "In The Rain." Enjoy!

Ron Isley and Otis Make a strong case for being in that Parthenon. But I feel you
Nothing like Al Green! So good!
You'll love Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" and "Tired Of Being Alone" !!!!His best two songs (imo) !!!Great Soul/R&B.
Totally agree!
I’m so tired of being alone, I’m so tired of on my own , Won’t you help me Girl 🎶🎼🎶🎼
Oh I had forgotten about I'm so tired of being alone! That's so good!
Al Green …y’all just brought tears to my eyes!!!!
🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Me too
Let’s Stay Together is his biggest hit
My all time favorite song,
Yes! One of the best! Should be on your daily playlist His song "Let's Stay Together" is great too. In fact, pick up his greatest hits as you will want each song on your playlist.
I remember first hearing him in 1971 on the radio, the song was Let’s stay together! And the rest is history, great music history😊
I love this one!
I remember watching my parents and other relatives tear up the floor on this one, and when I was older and understood the lyrics, I felt the song even more and tore up the floor, too. 😊

The legendary Mr. Al Green...It don`t get any better than him...A deep rabbit hole of songs both soul and gospel.
I am very proud to be a 55 yr old white grandma who CANNOT clean house without Al singing me through it. I am a happy girl when his music is filling the air. No matter where I catch him, my heart gets all kinds of happy. Love this man from toddler and through eternity.
He is from my home town and was friends with his niece and nephew in high school.
I’ve always loved Al Green’s voice!! Nice song too. ❤

I love anything by Rev. Al, but my absolute favorite is "Let's Stay Together." I hope you try that one soon.
Yes! I don’t usually like cover of certain artists, but Tina Turner did a great cover of this song.
Sing it Al sing it now yall need to listen to Let's Stay Together

@@marygoodson4920 You could tell him, 'no, not That one!', haha!
@@Jcrash71 There was no 'missing out', the music was still there past puberty, lol!
I knew Amber could tell she was about to get something real good for her ears when she made that "stink face" (2:00) when the beat dropped. LOL, she was smelling that funk way down deep in her soul. 😁
Al Green started as a Gospel singer. His father was a pastor and he did not approve of Als soul music. Thank God Al didn't listen. His voice is EVERYTHING! ❤❤❤❤ LOVE y'all's videos. They make my day. Keep them coming!
A great soul and R and B artiste in his day. 'I'm tired of being alone' and 'Lets stay together' are two great ones-Colin Ward
Al sort of stopped performing while doing his Preaching, then started doing some small shows and what. I used to work with a fellow who drummed for AL when he did gigs down around NOLA up into Southern Mississippi. He had a calendar with gigs listed so if someone forgot they could check to see if Milton had to go drum for AL.
Al posted a pic on Twitter some time back, someone pasted that pic of him on the album, over the W at Walgreen's making it an algreen's and it tickled him. "Who did this?🤣🤣"
😂
Just love this song, and Al Green.
Reverend Al Green is holding church with 'People Get Ready' :)

Oh goodness!!!! Definitely one of my favorite old-school songs! Love Al Green!
Awesome! ❤ Al Green, Marvin Gaye and Ron Isley were the smoothest velvety voices of the early 70's R&B 🎶 Great many hits these guys made, you don't hear music like this anymore. Thank you for the great memories 🥲 recommend "I'm so in love with you" and "Here I am baby". Thank you Peace! 🙏
When that organ starts near the beginning...
***chef's kiss **
I have started, stopped and restarted the song just to hear it again - many times.
A lot of people forget how great Al Green was. I never have. I turned my 25 y/o daughter to him. She loves him
Al is an honored legend. No black function is complete until Al Green is playing.
Oh yeah! The legendary Al Green! Let’s go!!!!!
The King of Love 👑!!!❤❤❤❤ 🐐 yall put a smile on my face 🔥🔥🔥🔥 “BABYYYYY”💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 💃🏽
Al Green is the embodiment of soul. You have to hit Let’s Stay Together, his best. Also Sha-La-La-La Makes Me Happy, and many others like Call Me.
Now you can top this off with some more killer soul with Major Harris killing it with "Love Won't Let Me Wait" (Live Soul Train version)
Criminally underrated song from Al Green!
Another great soul singer was Donny Hathaway, and his cover of "A Song For You" is🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man! I have been waiting for ya’ll to do more of Al Green…. After Jordon initial response, looking back at Barry’s picture…. Al Green is next level IMO….
Loved it! ✌️🙂💙🐶
Well Come on y'all Mr. Al Green....man...A Legend...he is one of the best soul singers in music history!!! Period!!! Al Green...Marvin Gaye....and Stevie Wonder....are the best soul singers in music history......and Al Green is definitely is one of my all-time favorite male singers!!!!
Yes this song
Y’all know Al Green became Rev. Al Green, and his church in Memphis was not far from Graceland. It was an experience to take in both! ❤️
I knew Amber was feeling "Love and Happiness" at the very beginning when she closed her eyes, made the stank face and started grooving. Great reaction! ❤
I cannot remember if you guys reacted to any of these following Al Green songs, but if not, you absolutely MUST react to them:
"Let's Stay Together"
"Simply Beautiful" (Queen Latifah did a remake of this song as a duet with Al Green, btw)
"I'm Still In Love With You"
"Tired of Being Alone"
Thank you. Please check out more of Al Green’s catalog. Also there’s a group called “Switch - song title: I call your name.” And a group called “Enchantment - song title: Gloria” both groups have amazing falsetto leads!
If they do Switch they also have to do, There'll Never Be.
YES! and “I wanna be closer”
Check out Al Green - Call Me ( Come Back Home) Midnight Special Performance.
Reverend Al Green is still awesome at Church :)
You have a lot of great stuff ahead. Tired of Being Alone is one of my favorites.
That's my favorite.
Yay! You guys are great! Al Green is a pastor now and he started out singing gospel music just as Elvis Presley did.
This is exactly why yall need to do more artists that are NOT from Motown.
I was a senior when this came out. What a time!!!! You could never go wrong with Al Green; EVER!!!!
A MUST HEAR true soul classic,, Billy Stewart "I Do Love You"...R.I.P. Billy 🙏❤️
Al Green will break you down and have you contemplating your life choices.
OMG AL GREEN..This song is one of the smoothest grooves..love it!!!!!
So glad ya'll got back to some Al Green! This is what's called grown folks music.😀 My wife and I love his music. We have several of his albums. And ya'll haven't even scratched the surface of Al's catalog of songs. I knew ya'll was in for a treat. And when that base dropped it was all over.😂 Amber, your face said it all!

FINALLY! I've waited for your reaction to this particular song. The best bluesy soul you can get! ✌️😁❤️🎶🎶🎶👍
Strange how nobody ever seem to mention You Oughta be with me.. 1973, his best by far imo
Al Green and smoky Memphis Soul. You cannot do better.
Love this song and al green🎉🎉🎉🎉
P. S. HOW can ANYONE listen to this and not just GROOVE like ya'll were??? OMG - SO GOOOOOOOD!!! 🔥🔥🔥
And then Al Green reminded me of my uncle. He loved him some Al Green
Yay! You finally reacted to a song I recommended (though I'm sure I'm not the only one)
Thank you!! This is my favorite Al Green song. You can also check out his Soul Train performance of 'Here I Am'.
Reverend Al! Love him
My momma loved him. She wouldn’t let me play her albums because she thought I would scratch them
Just finished mix CD in car...Al Green "Can't Get Next To You" excellent❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
INXS "THE ONE THING🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷
"KICK" harmonica 👍👍👍👍
"ORIGINAL SIN" 🎷🎷🎸🎸🎵🎸🎵🎤
Please check out Otis Redding's "Try a Little Tenderness." Best build in a song ever! Full of piano and horns.
Fantastic suggestion ❤️
Reverend Al Green is always a good choice!
AL GREEN WENT OFF TO BE A MINISTER🙏🙏🙏🙏
In the mid-70's, I stepped into enough clubs to see the dance floor get filled immediately when the DJ would spin this jam!! Wow, it was ON!!!
I sent this to my man awhile ago. so on point and sweet!
I first fell in love with this song when I seen him perform it on the Letterman Show. Dave was a huge Al Green fan and after hearing this song, I became one too. This and “Let’s Stay Together” are my favorites. I just love sitting in a mellow bar listening to his music. It get’s me so relaxed and in a zone. What an amazing voice and some smooth ass music.
I was between 16 and 17 when this so g came out . I'll be 65 in February. All of those songs of that period before and after sound great!!! I love AL Green ❤💕
I clicked so fast on this video. I love the voice of Al Green! His "Let’s Stay Together" is so good! And the song "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" with Annie Lennox. It was used at the end of the movie Scrooged! you saw last year. So don't be surprised if you see Bill Murray in the music video.
Omgoodness
You need to get some more Reverend Al Green
Tired of Being Alone is another banger from Al Green …
Al Green, perhaps the greatest R&B, Soul singer of all time. You guys need to listen to Tired of being alone.
Al Green came from the church. He started singing in this era and the career blew up. He lives out this song and slipped up and got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. One chest full of hot grits and he became the Rev. Al Green but he still sings these songs because they are about love. My favorite is "Let's Get Married Today"
❤❤❤ Any Al Green song gets my attention! You have to do “Let’s Stay Together” if you haven’t already! An Al Green must!! It’s our song!
