Let's Stay Together

Happy to stay with you for 34 min and 4 sec, beyond that, I can't make any promises

Surprised at how much I enjoyed this album. Great counter to the stress of the day. Smooth, pleasant and easy to listen to.

Love it

did he stay together with this girl? IDK i dont listen very intently, but at a surface level he definitely was spitting some game

Still a delightful listen. 50+ years later, this album, and this singer, still persevere.

Very good similar to the Isley Brothers album. I love funk and soul music so this is right up my alley.

Classic. I knew Let’s Stay Together but hadn’t listened to the album. Felt great

This is such a good soul album. Al Green is a fantastic singer, and all the songs are great. I was making a mental list of my favorites while listening, but it ended up being like 2/3 of the album. Overall just an amazing album.

Nice

Han mostly chlige drüber gskippt drum chanis nid mega genau sege. Es isch sicher ahgnehm aber us de Socke hauts mich jetzt au nid. Drum es soldis starches 3. 3.4/5

Ahhhhhh soul🥹🥹 mis herz gaht uf. Has hütt im Stall gloset und sind eifach vibes!

Great sound, listened to this on a dark stormy day and it really hit the spot. Close to a 5 star pick, but doesn’t quite have the consistency to make it there while sticking to a similar sound throughout. Top tracks: Let’s Stay Together, So You’re Leaving, What Is This Feeling, It Ain’t No Fun To Me

It’s so beautiful. It’s so nice to listen to good soul, and Al Green pours his into this album

Wonderful gem of an album. Soulful as they come. A nice listen.

Einschläfernder Soul.

Let’s stay together and 8 fillers. Not my cuppa I’m afraid. At least he wrote his own stuff.

This was a good, relaxed listen. Let's stay together (pulp fiction) and how can you mend a broken heart stood out. Went back and relistened to last track too.

It Ain’t No Fun to Me is worth holding on for. That bass/beat is something else from the rest of the album.

Smooth and easy.

I’m trying to work out my grading system. Wish I could do a half star. Super good front to back

Love this album. Top 100 for me!

The Reverend can sure sing.

Smooooth.

Just a lovely piece of music, never quite hits the heights of the opening track again but doesn't need to; the vocals, the background music slowly becoming more focused, it all coming together, great

Classic soul album. Songwriting, singing, instrumentation are all fantastic. Easy 5/5.

Fuck yes

Soul for lovers. Al Green does not phone it in and this record has some of the finest production of it's time. An enjoyable album through and through.

I grew up with soul music all about and never really liked it. This is very good soul, Al has a great voice and much skill, the songs are solid - I just would never choose it.

some great chilled back music. the melody can seem a little bit samey throughout but al green's voice is nice and soothing. the iconic title track brings it up to a 4.

Let’s stay together has to be one of the all-time Greats. The rest is pleasant and accomplished but all a bit too samey-wamey for me.

He’s got a great voice. Let’s Stay Together is a classic. His version of How Can You Mend a Broken Heart is almost my favorite version. It was a little more than a 3 but I wasn’t feeling generous enough to go to a 4.

Yeah, he's dynamite. I'm really at a 4.5, and leaning towards a 4 only because while Al Green is the quintessential smooth R&B singer that others are compared to, and rightly so, the material stays in the same lane throughout. A little variety would have gone a long way.

I love Al Green, but this isn't his best album. Yes, the title track is perfect as is How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, but there's a lot of filler on here. (Granted, Al Green's filler is better than most people's killer, but still.) On this album, the arrangements are a little too busy, the production is a little thin, and the songwriting isn't as tight as it would become. I wish they had chosen I'm Still In Love with You or Call Me, which are 10/10 albums. Another great choice would have been The Belle Album, which he produced himself (and played acoustic guitar!). So, if your opinion of this album is that it's inconsistent, give those other albums a spin. This is really more of a 3.5 but I'm rounding up because the two star tracks on here are so damn great.

Smooth. Cool.

No suelo escuchar R&B pero es un disco súper tranquilo y relajante sobre todo me ha encantado la primera canción pero el ritmo en general de la canción ha sido estupendo

i knew id get something from the 70s lets stay together- funky. 7. la la for you- the horns are good. it just makes you wanna dance. 7 so youre leaving- music. um its good 6 or 7 what is this feeling- the background singers are great too. 6 or 7 old time loving- gimme that old time religion. slower. its nice its more soulful i guess but im not here if im feeling it. 6 ive never found a girl- i got distracted. 6 how can you mend a broken heart- noooo 6 minutes... its whatever. 6 judy- violin. its nice. mid tempo. 6 or 7 it aint no fun to me- trumpet. just call out every instrument i hear. its fun. 6 favorite track- lets stay together

Nice album from a different era

Good soul init

One smooth motherlover

Might be voting it low just because I’ve heard the same damn genre three days in a row This one was at least short Also rebellious guy making innocent songs haha

Amazing voice, only liked the first song though

Never heard of this before, but 1 second into the first song I knew I’ve heard my dad play it a million times.

Sonido satisfactorio, nice y tal. Un poco demasiado horny/romatic shit para mi gusto.

Okish. Be a good background album. Opens with Let’s Stay Together.

Note to self: Buy this album on vinyl!

2/5

Eine Kater wimmert zu leisen Klaviertönen über seine Probleme mit dem anderen Geschlecht. Es kommt kaum Power oder Begeisterung bei soviel „uuuuuuh“, „ wääää“ und „iiiiiij“ rüber. Manche nennen es Blues or Soul; ich fand es nur Zeitverschwendung.

Funky & Smooth 7.8/10 Single: Let's Stay Together Hidden Gems: I've Never Found a Girl How Can You Mend a Broken Heart

Good grooves, very jazzy. The tone shifts from the first half of the album to the second, somewhat starkly?

Really good album, the composition is amazing and his vocals are top-notch. A shame that he's a wife-beater.

I actually really enjoyed this album (and whatever music came up after it ended). Will have to check out more in this style

Not my genre

Great, soulful songs. Familiar to me even though I don't remember them.

love it, very funky

Good but did not blow me away.

smooth and easy

I especially liked " Let's stay together" and Bee Gee's " How Can you mend a broken heart."

Un LP clásico del R&B y el soul. Con un sonido suave y una voz sumamente potente, Al Green logra atraparte en poco más de 30 minutos, con éxitos que suenan tan clásicos como frescos. Un real indispensable de la música afroamericana.

The Reverend's vocal stylings can best be described as 'soulful'. This album is good but like a lot of other artists of the era, his music is more aptly appreciated by a listen to his 'best of' collection.

Classic Soul

Good music!

GREAT morning vibes. This album is scratching an itch I didn't know I had. "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" is so devastatingly sad :(

Fun and mellow.

Love in all its iterations. Some classic stirring tracks

the instrumentation really complements the vocals and i really enjoy this album!! you can hear how it's influenced other artists, and the strings especially remind me of janelle monáe

pleasant songs

Great!

Some very good vibes

Such soul, much lovely.

Never realized the depth of soul in his voice. The layer at which he blends with horns and BG singers

Nice

Very good stuff

How perfect is the title track? How great of a Bee Gees cover is Al Green's version of "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" for that matter? Those two pieces of musical magic would put any album on a list like this one. The rest of the album is, fine? Maybe Al Green was the rightful heir to Sam Cooke and Otis Redding in terms of great soul vocalists - and those two aforementioned songs alone suggest he's in their stratosphere - but I put him just a notch below. That's not to shit on his legend. It's just when compare this album as a whole to the classic albums on this list by Cooke and Redding, one can't help but hear a drop off. But who gives a shit. I love Let's Stay Together (the song) about as much as Quentin Tarantino apparently does.

Classic opening song but should have ditched it halfway through the album because the rest of these songs probably aren't getting much play. The album is smooth and soulful but nothing I'd write home about. I like his groove but not the one he left on his wife's face.

I'm team Marvin Gaye. This did not get me groovin like I was expecting. Couple good ones but overall a flop.

First song is an absolute classic. Unfortunately the rest of the album isn't as strong and doesn't do enough for me to give it any high praise. It's a solid entry but nothing special. 2.25 stars.

Erstaunlich gut, kannte 2 Titel

5 4

Good album. The only song I would come back for is the title track.

Soul ist nicht mein Geschmack. Dieses weichgespülte und der monotone Rythmus…langweilig

Супер кайфовый соул альбом Жаль нету на яндекс музыке

A near perfect album. Got to love that Hi Records sound.

Super solid vocals with tight grooves

it’s nice i like the somewhat jazzy feel unfortunately i cannot comment much more about the music bc i decided to combine resolutions and listened to this while running a mile and nearly died

lets stay together: funny how i been listening to it from works radio for years but never knew how this song was called although i can sing along 😐

really easy listen. and smooth. not my kind of album but i really enjoyed la-la for you and i've never found a girl (and let's stay together of course). went to listen again and wasn't really feeling it. definitely need to listen when i'm in a particular mood

I've never listened to Al Green before, but I thought this was a pretty good album. Oddly enough, I reviewed Let's Get It On two days ago, so it was a nice coincidence to get another soul album from the same era so soon. I want to make a joke about these two albums being spiritual sequels, but I can't come up with anything clever. Anyway, on to the record at hand: Al Green's singing is easily the star of the show on Let's Stay Together, and his falsetto really sets him apart from other soul singers that were active in the seventies. Even with his falsetto, there's a raw power in his voice, and he easily goes from softer singing to louder singing within the same breath, all while keeping this smooth texture to his voice. The title track is fantastic, and I loved how the horn, rhythm, and string arrangements created such a rich sound. Al's version of "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" was fantastic as well, and his voice really draws you in as the listener, and you can't help but feel that his rendition of this song is autobiographical. Everything else on the album was pretty good; the overall sound is incredibly cohesive, bound together by Al Green's voice and some nice musical arrangements.

Enjoyable

Very listenable, not a whole ton of standout moments for me

Jazzy

This whole album got me thinking about her again, and it's one of the best soul albums I've heard probably ever. Absolutely gorgeous.

Zuckersüß und mit Kopfhörern ein Traum

Al green made great music about love. This album starts with a great song that is timeless. Many of the other songs on this album are what Al green embodies, Full of soul and love. That’s what makes him such a great artist and so easy to revisit. This is a solid album. 7.7/10

so fucking good

Classic soul album about love. Great but lacks the uniqueness and innovation for 4/5.

Not my music

pretty relaxing

4.2 - It’s mind-blowing that Al Green was 25 when he recorded this. The timbre of his voice and the depth of emotion on songs like “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart” belie a character that most acquire over a lifetime. He’s truly an amazing singer. As the title track suggests, this is a soulful collection of songs about being and staying together with the person you love.

Like a warm hug

This is one of those albums you can sit back, relax and enjoy! Al Green's smooth soothing voice is the perfect way to spend an hour or so and the songs make me think about the reasons I love listening to music. I haven't listened to a lot of Green and this definitely won't be the last time. Solid!

Smooth, soulful, solid gold from start to finish.

Listened to this. Great album.

Smooth throughout. Some soundtracks felt too similar,

Great album. It's not really my genre but it's hard not to like this album.

Smooth.

Meh

Classic smooth soul

not my kind of soul

Un album qui s'ouvre sur "Let's stay together" ne peut pas être mauvais. Ca tombe bien, il ne l'est pas. "How can you mend a broken heart" est un monument également, "Old time lovin'" vaut également l'coute. Le reste est très très bon, sans être au niveau de ces deux là, mais c'est une écoute qui fait du bien.

Great voice, great songs, very solid album. The vocal work and range on How Can You Mend A Broken Heart is unreal.

Al Green has an amazing voice. Some great songs here. Some maybe stick around too long.

2.5

Yeah, ok.

Solid stuff, especially the title track. I enjoyed listening to this. A pretty strong 3.

Some real hidden gems there. Enjoyed!

Good

If someone asked me with which album should he start listening soul I would recommend this album

4.5 stars

Can’t beat Al Green’s voice with horns and an electric organ. Classic and sexy. Baby making music

A legendary voice and a classic album 3.5

I don’t know what she decided but I would have never left Al after hearing this album. More of this please.

I like the Rev. The whole album is a really nice vibe.

Liked it

Just short of classic, this is an excellent soul album. The title track is one of Green’s best, but the rest of the album is no slouch even if no other song reaches LSTs heights. Green’s voice pairs so well with the brass, it all seems effortless, but there’s complexity in these arrangements. Surprised to learn that Green wrote the majority of the songs (a la Sam Cooke), although the next two best after LST, I’ve Never Found a Girl and How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, are excellent covers that Green makes his own. Also refreshing that this is only 30ish minutes long - it’s a perfect length, crisp, concise.

Let’s Stay Together was better than I could have imagined. Incredibly soulful and beautiful! It has reignited my love for soul and will be listening to again.

I love it so much

7/10

Very good album

This some baby making music.

Fint, men ikke helt min smak

Smooth soul and groove

Classic album. Saw him at HOB in Chicago 12 years ago.👌🏼

Love it. Chill, heartfelt. Less overt than Mayfield, but nonetheless a strong Gospel influence. Love, love, love. ❤️ Not a go-to genre for me, but not a bad song on it.

Love it. Every song is good - which is what I ideally want from an album - and there's a couple of classics. I only heard this for the first time a few years ago (I remember listening to it on chilled out long runs) and was like, "Where has this been all my life?" I don't have a lot to say about it, just: Great! Brilliant! Fandabbiedozie!

Voice like butter on a warm non-stick. I found many of the arrangements tedious, though.

Incredible!

Like when you're sad in a beautiful way

Let’s stay together is a classic song, one of the greats. For me personally though this album was another situation of think one song could carry a whole album.

Loved it!!!

I guess it's good for it's time. The more ballad-y songs were nice, but all in all it's still just "good" to me

4.5 stars. Really nice actually

I like the way this album started. His sound is rather unique and Let's Stay Together is definitely a classic but the rest of the songs didn't hold up as well.

Enjoyable but not a listen multiple times album.

Soul. Ça sonne très smooth lover.

Good soul record

Nice, easy to listen to soul record, but didnt excite me that much Fave tracks: lets stay together,so youre leaving, ive never found a girl, how can you mend a broken heart 3/5

Perfection

Many of my generation will hs e grown up having first heard the Tuna Turner version of the title track. Though once you’ve heard the original you mainly wonder what the point in the cover was. Like many, the original cannot be surpassed. And the lush, horn infused songs continue in such a consistent way. An album that is surely more than just the sun of its parts. Just lovely.

Quite surprised that Al’s voice wasn’t the strongest. But this album was solid and a great listen.

If you ask me to describe classic R&B, I would describe this album.

Smooth, soulful & beautiful

Let's Stay Together I've Never Found a Girl How Can You Mend a Broken Heart

This is a fundamental soul album. The title track is first on the album and is clearly the best. Unfortunately the album never reaches those highs during the remaining tracks. Nevertheless, it is enjoyable throughout and is consistently engaging.

Liked it!

Amazing album. It's a pity I didn't give this a chance earlier.

Short and sweet.

Silky smooth soul from a master. The title track is a classic. Al's version of How To Mend a Broken Heart surpasses the Bee Gees version. Rest of the album is quite solid. Would not complain if someone threw this on to wind down a party.

Short but sweet album from one of the all time great voices.

Lekker album om de week mee te beginnen!

Big fan of his first song, Let’s Stay Together. Classic! The rest of his album wasn’t as good of a vibe as the first one in my opinion, but was pretty nice to listen to. I liked the relaxation of it and the music and his voice sounded really nice together.

First instinct is to be happy about this album then it starts and I remember that .... I don't actually love the title track that everyone seems to love. I don't dislike it! Just sorta meh - maybe I've heard it too much, and maybe I just think it's a little bland... With one exception* the rest of the album is much better - "So You're Leaving" for example has much more of a groove as do pretty much every one of the remaining cuts. Nice to hear the original "Ain't No Fun To Me" but I still lean towards Graham Central Station's version... I suppose if the famous title track is almost the worst cut on the album you've got a winner. 7/10 4 stars *that BeeGees cover is bad - plodding and seemingly endless.

Let's Stay Together is such a classic. Interesting to learn how this was kind of the start and the end of the height of his success. Fave track: I've Never Found a Girl

Silky smooth - a lovely listen! Fave tracks - "Let's Stay Together" and "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" are both absolutely sublime. Of the tracks I wasn't as familiar with, "Eli's Game" stood out too....

Sounds like a muppet.

Nice voice, enjoyable to listen to, not life-changing.

Brilliant stuff - love the sound of the guitar and drums, voice fantastic if a little bit too falsetto for my taste give me Johnny cash any day

I like this. I guess it's heartbreak you can dance to. His voice is like an extra horn and is so saturated when he wants it to be. I'll be coming back for more.

Greatest album I love Al green

Lyrics: Pros: Romantic Themes: The album is known for its romantic lyrics, with Al Green exploring the various facets of love, from the joyous to the melancholic. Poetic Sensibility: Green's lyrics are often poetic, showcasing his ability to convey deep emotions and connect with listeners on a personal level. Cons: Limited Diversity: While the romantic themes are beautifully explored, the album might lack thematic diversity, as it primarily revolves around love and relationships. Music: Pros: Soulful Vocals: Al Green's vocals are the highlight, characterized by a unique blend of smoothness and raw emotion. His falsetto is particularly distinctive and adds a layer of vulnerability to the music. Musical Arrangements: The instrumentation, featuring lush string arrangements and tight rhythm sections, complements Green's vocals perfectly. The arrangements are sophisticated yet accessible. Cons: Potential Predictability: Some critics argue that the musical style and arrangements, while undeniably excellent, may become somewhat predictable throughout the album. Production: Pros: Hi Records Quality: Produced by Willie Mitchell for Hi Records, the album benefits from the label's signature sound, characterized by warm, analog production that enhances the soulful elements. Balanced Mix: The album showcases a well-balanced mix of vocals and instrumentation, allowing each element to shine without overpowering the others. Cons: Limited Experimentation: Some listeners may find that the production, while high-quality, doesn't venture into experimental territory. It adheres to a classic soul sound without pushing boundaries. Themes: Pros: Universal Themes: Love and relationships are universal themes, making the album relatable to a broad audience. Green's exploration of these themes is timeless. Emotional Depth: The album delves into the complexities of love, offering a nuanced and emotionally rich portrayal of various aspects of romantic relationships. Cons: Potential Repetition: Given the album's thematic focus on love, there might be moments where the themes feel repetitive for some listeners. Influence: Pros: Enduring Legacy: "Let's Stay Together" has had a lasting impact on soul and R&B music, influencing subsequent generations of artists. Cross-Genre Appeal: The album's crossover success, reaching both R&B and pop audiences, attests to its broad influence. Cons: High Expectations: The album's influence can create high expectations for listeners, and some may find it challenging to appreciate its impact fully if they come to it with preconceived notions. In conclusion, "Let's Stay Together" is a soul masterpiece that excels in its romantic themes, soulful vocals, and polished production. While some might find aspects of the album predictable or thematically narrow, its enduring influence and timeless quality make it a cornerstone of Al Green's career and a significant contribution to the soul genre.

Awesome

Smooth Al Green. Great for a chill night with a special someone.

It’s cool. Not my fav by him but I appreciate the guitar work.

It's Let's Stay Together and some other songs that are easy to listen to, but not as good as the title track.

Good sounds, just not my taste

Old School Soulful music. Decent amount of good tunes on the album.

01) Let's Stay Together - 10,0 02) La-La for You - 7,5 03) So You're Leaving - 8,0 04) What Is This Feeling - 8,0 05) Old Time Lovin - 7,5 06) I've Never Found a Girl (Who Loves Me Like You Do) - 8,5 07) How Can You Mend a Broken Heart - 10,0 08) Judy - 8,0 09) It Ain't No Fun to Me - 8,0 TOTAL: 8,39 - 84/100

It's fine. All the sexy hits, but by 72 it's a derivative of a throw back Era. All the style and class, dripping in backup singers bit it's over. Falls in the face of the new consciousness and direction of 1972 and where music of all styles was going. Motown in the face of Hendrix and Floyd.

Nr. 36/1001 Let's Stay Together 5/5 La-La For You 4/5 So You're Leaving 4/5 What Is This Feeling 4/5 Old Time Lovin' 5/5 I've Never Found a Girl 4/5 How Can You Mend a Broken Heart 4/5 Judy 4/5 It Ain't Fun to Me 4/5 Average: 4,22 Super soulfoul funky album

Very easy listening. Couple of bangers and leaves you in a very good mood after listening

Super-sophisticated seventies soul. Title track is 20 out of 5, rest of the album a lovely listen.

Top notch soul

First track is the best track, but it was great easy listening

What a voice this guy has! Songs between beautiful and too candylike sweet for me, so 3 stars

I recognize Let's Stay Together. Enjoyable listen, 3*.

Let's Stay Together and the sample of Chicago's Color my world (how to mend a broken heart) are the big stand outs - otherwise nothing feels amazing about this album to me.

Erg groovy album van mr al, kende een paar nummers. Maar de rest van het album was net zo goed.

Heerlijk

Good

Empieza altísimo con Let's stay together. Me han gustado también I've never found a girl y un poco menos How can you mend a broken heart. Suena muy bien y es un gustazo escuchar un disco de 1972 como si estuviera grabado ayer.

Pretty, pretty, pretty good

Starting off with one of the greatest love songs ever written, Let's Stay Together mostly keeps itself together on the basis of that and plenty other gems. In lesser hands, it would have crumbled and languished in purgatory but Al Green's sheer magnetism and approach to his craft prevents this from being sophomoric. One of the bedrocks of rhythm and blues that still persists to this day. Favorites: Let's Stay Together, So You're Leaving, Old Time Lovin', I've Never Found a Girl, How Do You Mend a Broken Heart, Judy.

Classic pulp fiction, Tarantino sounds

smooth and effortlessly cool, the reverend al green. some hit more than others, but a pretty solid album overall, including a pretty good cover of the beegees’ “how can you mend a broken heart”. highlights: “let’s stay together”, “i’ve never found a girl (who loves me like you do”, “how can you mend a broken heart”.

This was a jam. I don't know much Al Green, but that voice... those jams... man, I'll listen to more of this.

I thought I’d like this more than I did. Kinda boring, tbh.

Short and sweet

Let's Stay Together is a classic and my favorite track. No bad songs on this album and Al Green shows why he's a legend.

A little slow. Great hits though

Would listen again

This is such a beautifully made album through and through! Al Green has such a soulful voice and his lyrics are beautiful! The instrumentals here are also oh so groovy and well crafted :0

Good stuff quite groooooooovy Favorite song: let’s stay together

Not my cup of tea wie man so schön sagt

Objectively, this seems to deserve to be on the 1001 list. Some of the backing instrumentals are solid. But man, I don't like soul. I dropped out on the third song.

Love AG, and actually didn’t realize that Let’s Stay Together was his only #1 hit, that surprised me. I like his upbeat stuff a bit more but I could listen to him read the phone book.

didn't really listen but first song is a bop.

Smooth

This is the first time that I have ever listened to this album. Green's voice is as effortless and full as always, however nothing really grabbed me from this record.

Kicks off with the strongest track but the entire record is smooth and an enjoyable listen.

Sexy, great voice

Oh man, title track is one of my favorite songs ever. Was in my wedding. Still not sure I've listened to the album front to back. How Can You Mend a Broken Heart is also such a good one! It's so good. I mean easy 4, but are there enough other songs, cohesion, to make this album a 5? If I gave Otis a 4, this will have to be a 4 too :( sorry Al!

Mad at society for shoving the first song down my throat when the last half of the album is way better 4 stars for the jacket alone

Мягкий и плавный, текущий в небытие. Чего ещё не хватает соулу? Да пожалуй всё на месте. Ну и конечно заглавная песня - где она только не звучала, как мне кажется. Точно была в Криминальном Чтиве, где-то ещё наверняка. В рекламе 100%.

Decent background music.

nice chill soul music

Such a good listen on a rainy day like today!

Listen on a date after a homemade meal for best results.

Smooth..

Easy listening. Classic.

Let’s stay together is the peak of the album but the rest is decent. As others have said just quintessential 70s soul music. It’s good - having a hard time deciding if it’s a 3+ or a 4-

Not a fan, but not bad

3/5 - Good Soul album which starts off strong and then pleasantly continues. The two standout songs having stood the test of time for a reason.

His voice really brings the album together but outside of 1 song nothing stands out.

Title song is a classic. Album overall is really wonderful. Relaxing, enjoyable. Great for a night in and a wine of glass. Romantic.

I get the artistry but it was a bit single tone

Ok

I was only familiar with "Let's Stay Together", which I really like. The rest of the songs have a good sounds, but none of them hooked me after 2-3 listens.

Great album! Not a miss and doesn't overstay it's welcome!

Imagine house plants hanging from macrame hangers. Silk sheets on a waterbed. Now, if only record players had a way to play that one song over and over again without having to get up and shift the needle back...

Strong 4 stars. I'm not sure if this is his most fun album, or the one i can sing along to the most, but I find myself not being able to skip any of these songs.

Al Green can basically do no wrong with his music, but I’ve always thought you could do better with a greatest hits sampler as an intro to his work. If you can’t find one, this one’s great as well

Un LP clásico del R&B y el soul. Con un sonido suave y una voz sumamente potente, Al Green logra atraparte en poco más de 30 minutos, con éxitos que suenan tan clásicos como frescos. Un real indispensable de la música afroamericana.

Played it on loop at work, started making out with the photocopier, things got steamy

Beautiful

What a start!

Snooze

I was surprised to actually really like this album. The first two tracks were standouts but the whole thing was enjoyable.

Nice and chill. Would be good to play on a lazy summer day.

no stars for abusers and rapists

well, i wanted to like this album but this guy has multiple allegations of domestic abuse against him so yikes. there's so much good music out there in the world that 1001 albums really shouldn't continue platforming people like this... favorites: let's stay together, how can you mend a broken heart

Classic. Buy v

Las voces geniales. El uso de los acordes con la guitarra y el órgano generan un gran ambiente armónico en cada canción. A lo mejor es del género pero no me gusta que acaben las canciones en fade out, me gusta que resuelvan. Buen disco en general.

Thank you Mr Tarantino

It was okay. Had some good grooves but wasn't totally feeling it.

Awesome record.

Top tier 70s R&B. Rivals "What's Going On" for me as the best from the era.

An immense pleasure to hear Rev Al Green singing his heart out - such a silky smooth voice - and the orchestrations, especially with organ and horns, give this music a warm, rich, comforting feeling. The title track is of course brilliant but not all the tracks matchup - indeed, there is a sense that Al Green made some incredible singles but never quite delivered an incredible album.

One or 2 great songs. Not my thing

Buen disco de Soul, para pasar el rato. Tampoco encontré nada que me haya llamado mucho la atención pero el Soul no es que sea lo mío.

When this album goes on it’s time for the kids to go to bed. Very good album, fun to listen to.

Very vibes

A nice album, only saved a few songs for later.

listened 3x - nice easy listening and i enjoyed it, but nothing stands out. 3/5

Lucked into a sweet Hi records original vinyl of this one. Let's Say Together (overplayed) and Broken Heart (weepy Bee Gees) are the only ones I can't get behind a 100%. The album tracks are fantastic.

Have loved the title track for a long time. The slower version of Mend a Broken Heart was also great. Wish there was some up tempo tracks but it’s a good album.

Solid

How can one album make you feel so good and want to get up and dance?

very consistent sound through the album, great classic soul sound

Not my genre but I did not hate it. Not something I would put on much again but was good to listen to something else for a change

The smooth voice and mellow instrumentals of this album make for one of Al Green’s best. Top to bottom there were no tracks I ever intended to skip.

Great sounding gospel roots soul all time classic!

Ok- easy listening, pleasant to listen to. Not my go to choice in music, but Ibcan understand why people would rate it.

Al Green is just sooooo damn smooth. The title tracker is the opener and probably the highlight but the rest of the album is very consistent. Fantastic vocals, the guitar groves from start to finish. 8.0/10

Great album!

It's a nice smooth listen, he's got a great voice, but I dunno, it doesn't really grab me the way some of his other records do.

Bonbon pour les oreilles mais très répétitif.

Crisp drums all over. This is some Harlem nights love and loss music. Mature love makin music. Favs : Let’s Do It, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, Judy Least fav : LaLa for you Overall : 91/100

smooth, silky, sensational

Excellent album as expected from one as legendary as Al Green, I could listen to his voice for hours.

His vocal style is a bit too talky sometimes for my tastes. The title track is great, but not many other songs stand out to me.

Let's Stay Together - 8.5/10 La-La For You- 9/10 So You're Leaving- 9/10 What is This Feeling - 8/10 Old Time Lovin' - 7.5/10 I've Never Found a Girl - 7.5/10 How Can You Mend a Broken Heart- 7.5/10 Judy - 7.5/10 It Ain't No Fun to Me - 8/10 TOTAL - 72.5/90

How can you not love this record. It's just such a great vibe and so much fun to listen to. It has songs that grab you but also songs that just exist in the background like a lovely little soundtrack to life.

Good stuff.

That was an experience that everyone should have

Sensational

Classic album. One of the best soul records ever. I use it to teach my drumming students how one beat can be used on a ton of songs.

Such a smooth voice from Motown. Relaxing easy listening classic album.

Great mix of sad, soulful, and sexy. Top songs: “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart”, “It Ain’t No Fun to Me”, “Let’s Stay Together” Rating: 7/10

Great talent; a lot of soul and emotion in his voice. Outside of the title song, the rest of the songs are pretty forgettable IMO.

A true masterpiece

Fantastic sound -- just great. Worth finding on vinyl.

Al Green at his best is 5 stars. But this album is almost all 3 star songs.

A lovely album, a fantastic voice a smooth set of songs a pleasant Friday listen and one of the great soul songs. Could have done with a few more like that though.

Great

4.5

This should be a 5 star album for me, but I left wanting a little more. Not sure what exactly, definitely something.

some lovely soul, really nice vibe for a monday morning

A whole vibe. Not a bad song on the album and obviously let’s stay together is an all-time classic

3.5/5

SOOOO good. Grooves so hard

Jepps dette er jo et knallbra album

WHY SO SHORT?!?: I loved this album. Al Green is a magical man with that soothing voice which is just comforting to listen to and when the backing vocals come in behind it makes for a beautiful combination of voices which is just what you need to make this an amazing record. Listening to this I just felt I wanted more and more, 40 minutes (I think it was that) isn't nearly long enough. I could listen to this for hours.

It's Al Green. Nuff said really.

Tremendous, interesting chord progression of La La for You. Deeply, perfectly funky So You’re Leaving.subtle arpeggiated guitar parts. Gently flicked chords. Lovely beds of organs. Green’s voice is front and center, as is right.

love a bit of al

Im not really a soul music fan, so this didn't do it for me. No doubt he could sing though, and backed by some decent musicians, im sure this is a fine album to the right audience.

Calmed me down during a stressful day at work 4/5

Lovely voice but the songs passed me by
