I wonder how the Tempations felt when they heard how Al Green took this track, breaded it in cornmeal, and dropped it down in some hot grease? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Al Green and Willie Mitchell took this #1 Temptations smash, learned the words and music, burned the sheet music to a crisp, and told the band to get funky wid' it. The result: the first concrete evidence since "Back Up Train" that Mr. Green is the real deal. Amen.
I've heard The Temptations and Al Green's versions of this song a million times and never put it together that its the same song. That's a testament to how great they both were. Same song both bangers that sound completely different.
I knew Al was about to bless us as soon he sang "Oh my my my" once he did that everyone in traffic got to hear what I was listening, turned the volume all the way up on the road glide, You're all welcome....lol
Right. I was watching a movie and I asked my boyfriend who sings this song? He’s all Temptations. I said no. This has more soul. I had to google and found it. I’m all Temptations version is totally different🙌🏾
Al Green. Your A force to reckon with even in 2021. You were in your element. I love you on that Ann Nesby track. You were definitely in line when Jesus was passing out voice..
@ Captain Olive: Great that you made that startling discovery, but those of us that had the honor and the privilege of actually seeing and hearing him in concert performing this song and many, many others already know.
@@toib.7143 Yes, many know Al Green and his legendary voice. I was lucky enough to see him a few years ago and even caught a rose from him. That being said my point was simply that even people who know this song often don't know that's him at the end.

"ARE YOU LONELY FOR ME BABY" IS ONE THE BEST R&B SONGS I'VE EVER HEARD!!!!FABOULUS!!!THIS IS REAL R&B, NOT SOME DILUTED CRAP! GOT HOLD OF THIS ONE AND"GREEN IS BLUES" ON A TWO LPS ON ONE CD ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHICH MADE ME REAL HAPPY. OTIS REDDING, MARVIN GAYE AND AL GREEN ARE THE BIG GUYS IN MY BOOK!+ THE THREE GENIOUSES RAY CHARLES,STEVIE WONDER AND MICHAEL JACKSON OF COURSE. SEB SWEDEN

I !!!!!! OH I !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so powerful!!!!It goes down to your internal soul...OH I!!!! .Internal funktionality!!!!!!! from the DEEP DOWN!!!!!!!!
Now I love both versions of "I Can't Get Next To You", but this one edges out a bit more. How I'd break them down: _The Temptations_ Their version is like going to a club for a night out and sipping a Martini; it's upbeat and funky. _Al Green_ His version is like that brown liquor at a juke joint, or more like those "Momma's havin' company so you bet' not come out that room, hear" vibes; it's got that "Down Home Blues" feel to it because it hits your soul

I just realized yesterday that the cover of “Here I am” by UB40 is the same song by Al.
Embarrassing!
There is only one Al Green 💚🍏
The Temptations' original is a soul stunner. Al's version is a blues AND soul stunner! Well done Mr. Green, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 😀🎂
Very soulful.
I knew Al was about to bless us as soon he sang "Oh my my my" once he did that everyone in traffic got to hear what I was listening, turned the volume all the way up on the road glide, You're all welcome....lol
Al green could mix some Gospel with soul disco rap ❤❤❤❤
Awesome lyrics and talent comes in many versions and styles!!!! Al Green put his foot in this!!😋😘😍😎🤗🤔
Al took his time with this Temps classic, blues it up, made it his own!!
Yes he did!
Agreed I prefer Al Green Version
Right. I was watching a movie and I asked my boyfriend who sings this song? He’s all Temptations. I said no. This has more soul. I had to google and found it. I’m all Temptations version is totally different🙌🏾
Have Sly & Family Stone sing Que Sera Sera?
Full of funk holmes.....Best version of the song whoa.....Eyeeee!
Bluesy tune
This album is hot❤❤❤❤❤

“You see I’ve been trying to call you all day long but I don’t have your phone number honey.,” 😂😂😂Al Green is a legend.
3:41 is his voice. I don't think many people realize that LOL the man's range is legendary.
BUT HOWW??????? Omg I had to repeat it quite a few times I was floored 😱😱

I.. (my my my my)
I can turn a gray sky blue (you see)
I can make it rain when I want it to
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand (you see)
I can make a ship sail on dry land (children, yeah)
Unhappy am I with all the powers that I possess
Girl, you're the key to my happiness
And I...
(Can't get next to you, babe)
Oh Lord
(Can't get next to you)
I've been trying a long time
(Can't get next to you, babe)
(Can't get next to you)
I don't know what to do
(Let me say)
I.. (my my my my my)
I can fly like the bird in the sky
I can buy anything that money can buy
I can turn a river into a raging fire
I can live forever if I so desire
Unhappy am I with all the powers that I possess
Girl, you're the key, 'cause
(Can't get next to you, babe)
Baby
(Can't get next to you)
I've been trying a long time
(Can't get next to you, babe)
(Can't get next to you)
(Let me tell you that)
I can turn back the hands of time
(You better believe I can... you see)
I can make the seasons change
Just by waving my hand (let me say)
I can change anything from old to new (girl)
All the things I want to do the most (you see)
I'm unable to do
Unimportant are all these things
That I'm trying to do here today day
Girl, you see, I...
(Can't get next to you, babe)
I've been trying a long time
(Can't get next to you)
Somebody oughta help me
(Can't get next to you, babe)
Let me, let me go
(Can't get next to you)
Let me!
Lord, I've been working on it, baby
I've been thinking about it
You see, I've been trying to call you all day long
But, you see, I don't have your phone number, honey
I've been thinking about you baby, something awful
Sometime I feel like I want to moan about it
And I just don't know what to say
And I say..
The brother is one bad ,man
The Temptations could not get next to Al Green ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
🙂
It's too fast for me. Al is the better version to me.
Al and Willie molassified this cut. Temps brought it to us, Al bronzed it.
IN 2022 AL GREEN IS STILL RELEVANT❤️🔥❤️🔥 🔥
The legends are always relevant…
I love both versions of this song. But this one hits me harder lol
I absolutely love it!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️
Al took this Temps song and made it his own! I'm a Temps fan but baby this version is way better!
Can't get next to you, so I'll get next to someone else 💯
Get your groove on wow this is it! 🔥🌠
What a sexy tune backing up Al Green is The Temptations
AL GREEN IS TRUE R&B ROYALTY!! THIS VERSION IS WAY BETTER THAN TEMPTATIONS..
AGREE TOTALLY
Disagree whole-heartedly. But I like this one.
@@neillarson I love them both. When I hear remakes, they are completely different songs to me.
Wooo! That song drives me!
Not way better just a different take both well done.
One of the greatest remakes ever justs ozzs with soul
I remember in Memphis Aunt had a club After12 they old folks cut up on that.
I love it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love this song too!! ❤️🔥❤️
Amazing!
Such a great song!
Always grateful to best episode of Sex & The City for making me aware of Al Green's version of this classic.
You will live forever Al. Belting song!
There's only two men can do this Jesus an Al Green..

giving green the temptations tune they cut a new memphis groove that now defines the city's final soul epoch.
I love both, but this one has so much sex appeal. Very trendy jazzy cover.

The end of the song is amazing at 03:35
MY, MY MY MY🌹
Who else finds it ironic that an album called *Al Green Gets Next to You* has a track called "I *_CAN'T_* Get Next to You"?
Yess...classic
Al's the greatest. This is Jesus Christ speaking to us.
Fantastic,!!
Any man tell I woman these words ,he got her the truth ,soul ,g, al green the truth ,I can can change anything from old to new..
Still my favorite song
Hey heard this on a movie today, and couldn't remember who sang it like this.Thanks!

Fantastic!!!!
❤

Hola Regina. Happy hurricanes.

Wow!!!!!!
Always torn between this and Savoy Brown's version as to which is funkiest.
Love yourself
Remember this on the episode of sex in the city. Season 5 episode.
Wow!!!
🔥 🔥 📛
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Now I love both versions of "I Can't Get Next To You", but this one edges out a bit more. How I'd break them down:
_The Temptations_
Their version is like going to a club for a night out and sipping a Martini; it's upbeat and funky.
_Al Green_
His version is like that brown liquor at a juke joint, or more like those "Momma's havin' company so you bet' not come out that room, hear" vibes; it's got that "Down Home Blues" feel to it because it hits your soul
Perfect description!!
Slowed it down and 🤧
Yea sir
The OG! My stepdad .
🔥
Who to park next to or not next to. It matters.
Fleet week episode of Sex and the City, Carrie and her Navy guy groove to this awesome song.
Here for that episode too!
Me too! This SATC brought this song back into the fold and gave it a place in modern history!
💯💥
thats in the end of song its his voice??? wtf?
✨💚✨
Real time
What day it is
Such a sexy sultry song.
Sad to say the 1st time I heard this version was on Sex and the City when the Navy came into Port. They were dancing at the club to Al Green.
Me too!
