Uma agradável surpresa. Só conhecia duas músicas, mas gostei de todas.
Awesom and very cool
Classic!
I can't believe I've missed out on this album until now!
Classic
Need I even say anything?
Solid. Grooves for days.
Can I unc out for a bit? He is singing his ass off on this Already Saved: Let's Stay Together Saved After Listening: La-La for You*, Old Time Lovin', How Can You Mend a Broken Heart
The master of sweet soul music, smoothness defined.
The album is timeless, full of soul, and if you have a heartbeat, it’ll get your head moving to the beat. A definite album to add to a collection.
Thats my man... and he is a Priest you know 😇
Al Green rustles my jimmies
Pretty much every time I listen to any one of Al Green's classic albums I think it's the best one but this one might actually be his all time best.
A great classic soul album
Альбом не нашла, а вот песню - да. Идеальна для поездок по ночному городу, и в целом запоминающаяся.
Soulful
Every song was a banger. Unreal
Already saved
Enjoyed every second
Very chill.
really goddamn good
Always down for some Al Green
Ace.
Отличный соул!
Eee
La voz es magnífica.
Unspeakably good.
Al Green is a favourite, and this is the album that introduced me to him. Great songs, slick and emotional vocals, timeless classic.
Very good
So this is definitely the kind of 70s music I wish I’d heard more of growing up. I like this one, very groove, funk.
Classic Love and Soul
Magical album. I'm a particular fan of the horns used throughout. I will be adding this to my shopping cart.
Pretty good soul music, I'm enjoying, I do think my favourite is Let's Stay Together
This dude FEELS. I felt more romantic having listened to this album. Wish I'd found it sooner
Simply Fantastic!

Reminds me of this super high maintenance Columbian girl I met at a wedding. She was also the most beautiful woman I've ever kissed.
This album proves to me that Al green is rather unfairly remembered for just his hit songs. There may only be nine songs on here, but each one is tight and feels essential to the album, ranging from soft, warm Carole King-esque love ballads to groovy Stevie Wonder-esque jams. The album perhaps falls short lyrically and thematically of a 5/5, but you can't deny that he makes a good case for himself.
Bookended by the best tracks in my opinion. A remarkable vocal performance throughout, but not much in the way of musical variety. I didn’t expect a Bee Gees cover, so that was fun. Definitely a “mood” record.
I love the amount of feeling he puts into his vocals, and the horns are beautiful even if I'm not quite so keen on the strings
Awwwwww yeah
Very enjoyable album.
quite good
Can’t trust anyone that doesn’t think let’s stay together is a great song.
A great soul album the songs are flowing one into another Fav song - I've Never Found a Girl 4/5
Let's Stay Together - 5/5 La-La for You - 3.5/5 So You're Leaving - 4/5 What Is This Feeling - 3.5/5 Old Time Lovin' - 3.5/5 I've Never Found a Girl - 4/5 How Can You Mend a Broken Heart - 4/5 Judy - 3.5/5 It Ain't No Fun to Me - 3.5/5 Bold of him to put the best song on the album first just to keep us around for the rest of it to see if it's also as good as that. It's not, but man I can see why this is listed upon the classics of soul. Overall: 4/5 Favorites: Let's Stay Together
j'avais déja écouté le projet, toujours un plaisir de se plonger dans l'univers de l'artiste.
I love the vibe of this album, in terms of the quiet competence of the playing, little flourishes of horns, strings or organ to lift what is overall a quite stripped back sound, needed to let Al Green's subtle vocals have the right prominence. The vocals are the other real treat on here, in terms of the smoothness, tone and emotion they bring with them. It's a really short record, at only 34 minutes. I really like the balance of consistent tone with a range of different tempo / feelings across the 9 tracks, it feels like a coherent and well-packaged album. To be slightly critical, I feel that 1-2 tunes are more like jams rather than fully formed songs, and I think the lyrical content is at times is a little lacking in breadth and depth. But overall an album I would come back to and would definitely play loud on a mellow weekend morning.
This album is killer. Al Green is the best of a 70's soul. There's not a skip on the album. Standouts are the title track and the Otis Redding-esque "What Is This Feeling". The only critique (if you can call it that) is that I wish the horns were brought up in the mix on most songs.
Loving this
A good soul album, sung by a classic and recognicable voice. Favourites: Let’s Stay Together and How Can You Mend A Broken Heart
Such a great voice. The album as a whole though is really good, but wasn't amazing to me. Still great to listen to though.
Classic soul!
A classic 70s soul album, it starts out super strong with the title track that everyone knows. After that, the songs are varying degrees of good, although it's a similar formula for most songs' sound and structure. A good album that would be a perfect 3.5, but on this rating scale, I'll bump it to a low 4/5. The music is too nice to go down to a 3.
How can you mend a broken heart & let’s stay together >>>>
Ļoti skaisti
My dumb ass was really about to give this a 3 until Al turned the heat up.
che vibe incredibile
Al Green is just an incredibly aware musician inventing this soul essential. I don’t know if this album is worthy of a 4 stars rating mostly because I don’t feel like this album is something really special, but probably, I just don’t know enough about soul music.
(5/7) a man with soul
Enjoyed
A soul classic that deserves pretty much all of the acclaim it gets. Some stellar vocals, a pretty unique production style that gives it a really cool vibe, and a bunch of really great tunes to go with it. The title track and 'How Can You Mend A Broken Heart' are unreal.
3.5/5
Very sweet, loved it
Very nice vibes and really good voice
Like this sound
Willie Mitchell is a god. How is the feel so smooth, the arrangements so liquid? Like spiritual moisturizer.
I really liked this. The band sounds a little rough and very organic, and the singing is marvelous.
really liked it, everything kinda flows into one song
I knew a few songs, good !
Al Green's voice is butter, but this album is being held up by the first track!
Al Green must have one of the silkiest voices
He's legendary
Very good
Chill soul/funk, kärlek, kaffe och cigg på balkongen liksom. Schyssta trummor.
Pretty solid
God, I love Al Green's voice (why oh why must the man himself be such a consummate piece of shit). While a lot of the songs didn't stick out on a first listen, I was immediately compelled to relisten three more times, and as often happens when I do that, songs stick out more. Standout Tracks: Let's Stay Together, La-La For You, I've Never Found a Girl, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, It Ain't No Fun to Me Rating: 4.5
Pretty!
Sexy, soulful, spirited. An amazing performance by one of the most distinct American voices there has ever been. It’s really a thing of beauty even though the title track is the only one I think everyone will recognize. It’s a grower, not immediately impactful but clearly an important work after letting it sit for a while.
Fantastic, smooth, silky, beautiful. Just over 30 mins which is perfect. There's no filler but definitely a couple that are standout tracks and some that aren't, which makes it a 4 star album rather than 5 star, but no one really makes this genuine lovely music quite like this.
solid 4.0. Álbum gostosinho, não é longo o suficiente para ficar cansativo apesar das músicas serem muito similares, o vocal é agradável
(8.7)
Soulful and short, and title track is the best
Liked this one. Nothing outstanding but enjoyed all the songs except Mend a Broken Heart.
a classic album
groovy and fun. a lot of bangers here
expected something boring but it's quite good. a lot of different elements harmonically drown in each other
Very groovy, a great listen. You end up singing all the choruses. Favs: Let’s stay together, how can you mend a broken heart, judy
I keep meaning to listen to classic soul like this and then I end up not doing that. So thank you for giving this to me. This album is real good. Just classic soul. It doesn’t stand out enough to love-love, but the title track is exceptional, and the vocals and vibes are right-on all the way through. I enjoyed this. 8.0/10
good
All four of these stars are for the song Let's Stay Together and it's part on soundtrack of the best TV series I have ever watched, The Leftovers. It's not even a prominent track, but as part of the soundtrack, it's connected! Just watch it.
Let's Stay Together always makes me think of the Leftovers and good memories from what feels like a lifetime ago! It's a track I've always loved from the Leftovers playlist, and I'm delighted to find the rest of the album is just as smooth and sexy. Loved it!
I was already very familiar with the title track going into Let’s Stay Together, and yeah, I still love that song. I was a little worried the rest of the album might be nothing but slow, overly cheesy romance music, but thankfully, that is not the case. There are actually a surprising number of upbeat songs here, and they give the album a lot more energy than I expected. The instrumentation works beautifully with Al Green’s voice, especially the horns, which always seem to arrive at exactly the right moment. The drums also come through really nicely and give these songs a strong, steady pulse without overpowering anything. It also helps that the album is pretty short. None of the songs stick around long enough to wear out their welcome, and the whole thing moves along smoothly. This was a warm, enjoyable soul album that offered more variety than I expected. Very nice.
The production on this is so warm and fuzzy, the perfect complement to Al Green's voice. I need to listen to him more.
Al's voice is soothing, calm, vulnerable yet controlled. I like the rhythm section, don't love the horns and strings that permeated soul music of the 70s. Al's voice and backing vocals are the highlight. I find myself trying to sign along to songs that I don't know. Fun album to groove to.
Cool album, fairly standard soul stuff with a couple of bangers sprinkled in
Me gusta mucho este tipo de albums, se puede apreciar bastante la guitarra, las trompetas y demas instrumentos, es bastante facil de escuchar y agradable
Top shelf soul
Great vibes. Would definitely put this on in the background in the morning, super chill, easy to listen, nice flow. Solid 4/5-- excellent, but not mind-blowing.
The Reverend Al is very consistent. At least three or four albums like this one with great soul and groove (kind of like guided by voices— just pick your own favorite two or three, learn those songs well, and you’re good to go for your personalized prolific-artist enjoyment).
NIce. Great way to start the day.
Certified classic funky bangerrff
Some groovy soul, man.
It was my first soul album, really liked it!
✸ Smoooooth. ✸ It feels reductive to say it's so all so warm and soulful sounding, but it is. ✸ It's such a cohesive record, but no one individual song really stands out to me as a favourite.
some really strong songs on there. Beautiful voice
Seth - 3.9/5 Logan - 5/5
Classic Soul que todos hemos eschuchado y disfrutado en muchos momentos de la vida
Fantastic album.
Really like this album I’ve heard Al greens work before and I’m not surprised by this album. Really love the title song and the whole album is full of great stuff
A true gem from the Reverend Al. From the opening notes to the last spin of the vinyl, this one connects!
kinda fw soul sometimes. khalil's source material.
Hell yeah, love this sound. So smooth. I ended up listening to this one on repeat for a while.
Sweet
Smooth as butter is the best way I could describe this album. At times I do find the pace of it slightly meandering, but there's no denying how brilliant the vocals and instrumentals are throughout. The band are super tight and the songs are full of soul, making for a very enjoyable listen.
Al Green’s smooth and soulful voice is amazing.
Tracks to go back to: • Let’s Stay Together (overrated) • La-La for You • So You’re Leaving • What Is This Feeling • Old Time Lovin’ • I’ve Never Found a Girl • It Ain’t No Fun to Me 6/30/26
Smoooooooth
Really enjoyed this, very easy listening and great voice
Incrível!!!!
Short and sweet. Has an incredibly warm feeling to it. His voice is soothing, the melodies are absolutely incredible, it's all killer no filler.
Groovy bass lines and that old school quality that lifts the mood and makes this album a classic soul album. The last song ‘It ain’t no fun to me’ has a really good rhythm! I’ve heard the first song, the title track ‘Let’s stay together’ before, but not the rest. A good album!
Never heard anything on this album except Let’s Stay Together. That is a great tune, but there is so much more here. His voice is so soulful and rich. The backing band kills it throughout. I look forward to hearing more of his catalogue.
This album is a time capsule of early 70s soul music. It holds up pretty well 50+ years later.
Very nice and laidback and smooth. Just a lazy summer afternoon in the '70s of an album.
I feel like it's been forever since my last soul album. I haven't gotten many in recent times and I'm sad about that because I like soul music a good deal. Fortunately, Al Green is here to give me exactly what I want. This album's great! Al's voice is nice. He's got charm. He's got soul. The music is delightful. There are some really nice horns on here. The writing on here is a little repetitive and pretty basic, but the vibes are immaculate, so I don't really think about them a ton while listening to the album. As far as songs go, the title track is obviously excellent. It might be the perfect distillation of what makes soul as a genre work. I love it. The title track is easily the album's best song, but the rest of the album is no slog to get through. The rest of the songs are very enjoyable. Songs like "So You're Leaving," "I've Never Found a Girl," and especially the cover of the Bee Gees' "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" make the remainder of the album's runtime feel worth it. Why am I saying that as if the album's really long? This thing is short. I'd be concerned if someone found this album to be "too long." But yeah, I really like this album. It's not much more than a really pleasant soul album, but sometimes, that's all you need for an album to be great. Strong 4/5.
Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke get a lot of attention, but man this is right there with those guys.
Very nice and chill for the most part. Super calming and let me slow down for a bit
So groovy. Love his voice love this sound. Let’s stay together is such a good song, and I’ve heard it many times before but haven’t listened to this whole album so I’m glad I did.
Smooth operator music.
Al Green rules.
Soul aus den 70ern
The tightness of Al Green’s band is unmatched. Groove.
They don’t make them like this anymore .. awesome
Perfect vibes for this very sunny day. Pleasant and smooth, enjoyed overall
Gorgeous. I do hope he eventually found a lovely lady who treated him well and did not desert him 🙂
Liked the overall vibe Feels like the album is just one big song and I like that My favorites: Let’s stay together, La-La for you- It ain’t fun for me I can confidently say I will keep listening to this album in the future
Хороший приятный соул-альбом. С удовольствием послушал.
Very good soul album, with great flow 4/5
Smooth
Classic
8/10 - Smooth, easy listening. Solid album that made me want to listen to more Al Green.
Smooth
Nice and funky, great music to dance in the kitchen to.
Outstanding
Al green could sing the phone book and it'd be great. Song quality decreases as you go along the album though
Close to 4.5. I’m more of an “I’m Still in Love With You” album guy.
Funky as shit boi
Day892 - i was worried it would drop off after “let’s stay together” but the whole album is smooth
tres gourmand je retournerai dessus à l’occas meme si ça restera un truc de fond
I like it but not the most because it's like really simple and I somewhat like simple. But don't like simple at the same time I also like how the beat and the melody's or the effects. It feels like chill at the same time even though it feels like jazz mixed. with some like rock but not a lot of rock or not to little just the perfect amount of rock and I would recommend it but not all the time though. 7.8/10
It was pretty good, liked the instrumentals.
Good songs I would recommend to many, I really liked the song itself.
Soulful and beautiful. Still prefer funk to soul but this is definitely a great album
4/5
Feels like falling in love
Overall Rating - 4.00/5 (8.00/10). Excellent soul album. The title track is outstanding.
Old-school soul van de bovenste plank! Funky vibes!
funky 3.5
Repetitive but good
Smooth, sensual soul with a sizzle and a crispness to the recordings themselves. Been meaning to hear this for years and I'm happy to cross it off my list finally. Title track is inimitable.
Great length. Pretty good
Very pleasant listen. 4/5
No complaints
Nice
fucking awesome
A fabulous album. Super cool
Classic. Timeless. And, ‘How Can You Mend a Broken Heart’ just might be a perfect song.
It is a great album when you want some background music, either alone or with some other people. 4.5/5 - enjoyable
Excellent vintage soul. More of this!
Joyous
father or soul
Easy listening, feel good.
fucking fireeeee
nice
Soul with a S
I listened to a big chunk of this album walking along on a warm day with a gentle breeze and it was just the perfect combination. Al Green has a fabulous voice and I love the accompaniment. One of those rare albums where the most famous song being track 1 didn't feel, for me at least, like everything that followed was a disappointment - I liked everything. As a complete side note, Al Green's Wikipedia Personal Life section is *a lot*. I enjoyed this, but not 5 stars of enjoyment, so: 4/5
Great, mellow album! Enjoyed the listen.

Heel aangename deuntjes
Altijd leuk
⭐⭐⭐⭐- Öppninsspåret/tilelspåret står ut som överlägset bäst, övriga spår hamnar i skuggan. Men jag tycker att Als röst och stora känsla, lyfter många av spåren till en högre nivå än vad de egentligen håller musikaliskt. Även musikerna är bra, tänker framförallt på blåset. Produktionen är bra, låtmaterial är lite som sagt lite tunt även om det inte är direkt dåligt. I slutändan är det ändå ett album som jag uppskattade att lyssna på och kan nog komma att återkomma till det så det blir en svag 4a. Bäst är Let's stay together, So you're leaving, I've never found a girl, How can you mend a broken heart och It Ain't no fun to me.
legendary shit, man at the same time i'm writing coursework
I love this album. A great voice and such tight arrangements.
listening to this makes me feel romantic and honest. like a warm cup of tea on an early morning with the love of my life or on a late night drive going somewhere cozy for dinner and driving with the windows down. his voice is natural and full of soul. making this album the perfect soundtrack to a day of romanticizing life.
Ik luister al green altijd als ik iemand leuk vind hihi. Jaa love dit. Niet de meest interessante soul ever, maar dat dramatische is altijd goed
Man this is good! I forget how f*ing good Al Green is. Another reason to do this exercise. Bring back the albums I haven’t heard in years and knew were good once, but there’s just so much music, it’s easy to lose even the good ones. Boolean: yes, very glad to have heard again before I die.
ooo lover boy, muy tierno
Al Green Not really my thing but even I could tell that In terms of feel and vibe, this is everything that D'Angelo album wanted, and failed, to be. Smooth but with edge, soulful but without being plastic, frank without being fake. Best Track - La-La For You Worst Track - Judy 8/10
Smooth as silk, and sweet like honey.
es un solido 4. Los grones cantan muy bien
Very pleasant to listen to. Voice like butter. Songs not the strongest but still good and well produced.
Peaceful album to have in the background
awesome!!!! 4.5
The Reverend can sing and Let's Stay Together is an all time great tune
Easy & moody
Also opens with a banger, groovy throughout of course but also not super memorable
Just a great soul album. Think I prefer Marvin Gaye in general, but this is damn close with a few really fantastic hits. Gives me "Going to Cedar Point" vibes, similar to Chicago to me, although Al Green is much better than Chicago.
This was a really groovy record. Not 5 star material for me personally, but groovy and amazing all around. Loved my time with it.
Mainio soul-levy. Al Greenillä on hieno ääni. Nimikkokappale oli tuttu Pulp Fictionista.
It was pretty nice 🙂. The vocals were fantastic, great vibe to it, and a really cool sound 😎. Overall, I would give this a 3.6/5! 🫠👌
Very cool stuff, good flow, great voice, great album!
Amazing start! Listened x3 in union Square Barnes & Noble
Great tunes, incredible voice, but not all of them stuck with me. Marvin Gaye at home.
good
Smooth!
Everybody knows “Let’s Stay Together,” and for good reason. Al Green’s voice is silky smooth on that song, and the whole album has that same easy, effortless feel running through it. It’s soulful without sounding heavy handed. “It Ain’t No Fun to Me” is probably what bumped this from a 3 to a 4 for me. The horns on that one are incredible, and the guitar playing is slick as hell. The final track was the point where the album really won me over. Favorite song "It Ain't No Fun to Me"
This guy (until he found God) and Marvin Gaye (who never quite did) were two of the main go-to’s for romantic balladry (= hose tunes) in the 70’s. This album was the start of a long winning streak of hit albums for Green. All the elements that make him so good can be heard here: his supple tenor/falsetto, great horn (and to a lesser extent, string) charts, and as always, the crack Hi Studios rhythm section. Well done.
Sooo this is Soul I like the simple but effective grooves, the sax and piano tunes, and most importantly the vocal. I've definitely heard of "Let's Stay Together" somewhere before without knowing the whole album. There're some other nice songs as well; it's just that after some point they kinda sound the same to me.
Really good album. This band lays down such a great beat. Love this album, so much groove, which was fantastic!!!
Great album and artist. Been listening to this album since I was in high school.
Classic R&B that doesn’t overstay its welcome. I’m not. Big R&B guy and this album doesn’t change that, but if I’m going to listen to any, let it be someone like Al Green.
A classic soul album.
Very Smooth, Nice drum pattern
hell yeah. smooth, nice, great voice. i only knew the most famous song, but the rest of the album is pretty great as well. will definitely listen to this again
Amazing voice and one of my all time fav songs on the album. What’s not to love.
Al Green is a legendary Soul Singer and this album was his breakout into the mainstream. Right away you have the iconic "Let's Stay Together", an "oh that song" moment for me, it's subtly groovy and infectious with his smooth vocal chops and the lush instrumentation really pulling you in. The rest of the record follows suit with some really nice Southern Soul adorning this thing, as well as a great cover of a Bee Gee's tune with "How Can You Mean a Broken Heart". Now, a certain darkness casts a pallor shade over this record for me, as beforehand going into this I had learned that this charming young man on the front cover was really no different from this lineup of men: Chris Brown, Prince, Ike Turner, yeah.. I've come to learn the "Reverend Al Green" is a creep who preys on vulnerable young women and who has had a history of domestic abuse and scandals, covering it up with a persona that to most people wouldn't cause them to think any other way about him. This is important to me because a song like "Let's Stay Together" in a vacuum is a sweet love song with a tender message, but coming from this man kind of twists it a little for me and is hard to take seriously. As is the case with those other artists previously mentioned, this does affect my overall enjoyment of the record. So while I do think the music within is gorgeous, I do sometimes have trouble separating the art and the artist in this case.
Classic from my childhood
Smooth.
Quite calming
Freakin awesome
Love it
Classic
Yes and no
Classic, warm with a familiar sense of intimacy
woooow this was really tuff i fw it. W first album. 8.7-9.0/10. I liked most of the songs but there 2 songs i wouldnt replay much, but they were still really solid and chilld tracks so i wouldnt skip it if it played on my speakers.
Smooth as honey. Lovely.
Super groovy, although for my money I would always just go with the classic best of Al Green.
amazing vocals and instrumentals, just wished that all the tracks weren't about love, but still a great album. Favorite Songs: Let's Stay Together, So You're Leaving, What Is This Feeling, Old Time Lovin', I've Never Found a Girl, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, It Ain't No Fun to Me
4.4
Good soul Hyped from the first to the last song
What a lovely album. Not a bad track here.
Top heavy album. The star power songs deserve their praise, but those 2 songs really carry this album. A good few awesome moments otherwise, and none of these songs are bad, but there certainly is a disparity in quality. It's a low 4, but I think it deserves the fourth star 3.6/5
Lovely
Smooth all the way through
Loved this. Great voice but a better band.
Al Green is awesome. Love his music. This album is representative of his best, but a lot of these old school guys have greatest hits albums that are much better
weird aber nice
Vibey as heck
I think this album is really a 3.5, but I'll give it a 4 since I may listen to it again. Al green's got a good voice and the instrumentals are solid. However, I do find that male soul singers usually aren't as pleasing to me than females. That is nothing against Al Green and is entirely subjective, but it does influence my ranking of this album.
uplifting record, super good songs
One of the greatest voices of all time!
Listened to before? No Context? His breakthrough album, with the opener/title track being a smash hit. *Reviewed in a holistic format* Opening an album with the best song always seems like a bad move. And the opener here was the best song by far. The way he sings in “Let’s Stay Together” has an addicting quality to it, and the instrumentals are beautiful. Of course, just because the first song is the best doesn’t mean the rest are bad. Immediately afterwards, you get “La-La For You”, which has some fantastic guitar. In fact, the guitar was probably my favorite part of this whole album. Which, googling it…the guitarist was Drake’s uncle? Too bad his talent didn't get passed down the family tree… My thoughts on this album are pretty simple: it’s a good soul pop record. Not great, not bad, not average—good. Excellent instrumentals with amazing vocals (though the vocal style is not my cup of tea). It was even fairly revolutionary for the softness of which he sang and presented himself lyrically. Even the album’s political leanings are presented in a very personal manner in the title track, which at surface level reads as being about a relationship. There aren’t many highlights outside of the first two songs, except for maybe “Old Time Lovin”. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing. There isn’t a whole lot of sonic diversity, but that’s okay, because it’s meant to be chill: something to slow dance to or put on while reading a book in your living room. There’s more emotion to it if you’re a huge fan, of course, but unless you dissect the lyrics or are the type to feel the brass section in your bones, it’s a good radio song. And I mean all that as a compliment. Maybe not a huge compliment, but as a compliment.
This guy is smooth
Favorites: Judy, How can you mend a broken heart?
so smooth and groovy
So well put together
Swaggy asf
From the first horn blast of the first track, this album is a ripper. This definitely makes the cut for dinner party jams.
Velvety, feel good grooves
Me gusto mucho, no conocia ningun tema pero muy buenos
Just good listenin.
Just a solid soul album. Al Green's voice is smooth and the music is well crafted to add to the vibe.
Good
The definitive work by the ‘reverend’ with one of the great soul classics as a title track. A smooth laid back album with a consistency of approach and a showcase for a unique voice. The cover of the Bee Gees song is another high point. A pleasing satisfying listen.
How Can You Mend a Broken Heart es el tema que mas me gustó. Muy bueno, relajante.
Muy buen álbum, muy buena vibra y me interesa bastante el soul
Un disco muy clásico, cargado de sonidos suaves, muy bueno
Classic soulful album. Really enjoyed.
Solid!
this was actually really good despite my feelings about soul. just cute
Loved it, musically interesting, good slow jams
I'm into Reverend Al Green. I like bedroom soul/R&B and this is very of its time, as well. There are not enough bangers beyond Let's Stay Together to climb the mountain, but I really like the ride.
I didn't realize I liked Al Green so much. Smooth, yes, as he famously is, but there was also a lot of fun variety.
Muy bueno, gran album de soul y R&B, toco bancar como corresponde
ya había escuchado algunas, me gustó
Great
strings: beautiful voice: amazing groovy, soulful, feels like summertime Fave: what is this feeling
Just wonderful. How Can You Mend a Broken Heart is just one of the many soulful bangers on here.
listened on 5th feb 😘
I could listen to this style of music all day. Al Green has got quite a voice and this was an enjoyable album. An ex boyfriend mouthed Let’s Stay Together to me from across the room at a party a long time ago so that song is pretty special 😂 and How Can You Mend A Broken Heart is incredible. Am I a weirdo for preferring The Bee Gees version of that song though? It definitely was a pleasant listen the whole way through.
Both vocally and instrumentally, this is a really intimate album. The vocals are beautiful, sung with a lot of passion and feeling. You can hear his influence in later works, such as 'Off The Wall' - I feel that a couple of the tracks have a similar feel. It goes to show how influential Al Green was as an artist at that time. His influence even shows today, with modern/up-and-coming artists making music that feels shaped by this, such as Olivia Dean. The percussion in 'What Is This Feeling' particularly works well, utilising triplets to carry the track forward. The backing vocals are also too prominent not to mention - I really love the use of them in 'Old Time Lovin''. I really feel they add to the groove as a whole, the same in 'I've Never Found a Girl'.

Ça groove, c’est cool. Un peu trop calme par moment quand même
Just a great soul album that I enjoyed while sitting on the beach.
A great album. I’ve never heard anything about this guy, but he is a great singer and song writter. I’m gonna listen more of him.
The Reverend Al Green! This was a pleasure to listen to. Green's voice is so versatile.
Two all-timers in one tracklist. I’ve loved the title track for years, and I’m glad this gave me reason to listen to the whole thing. I love the combination of the smooth, soulful instrumentals with Al’s restrained but wonderful vocals. With so few weak or wasted moments here for me, this pushed five stars, but I just didn’t fully fall in love with enough of the other tracks. 2 listens Favorite track: The Title Track
Expectation: -> Hopeful. Al has inspired some of my preferred modern music. That's Al, not AI. After listening: -> Ooooh so cool, so smooth. Love me some Al Green. Track ranking: Together Never Found La-La Mend Leaving Feeling Judy Old Ain't
No es mi estilo musical pero me gusto
Love this. Its groovy, sexy and vibey. Vocals are good, bass lines are progressive and moving. Guitars keep thing grounded. I had a blast with this one, its fun hearing the source of music that is often sampled in hip hop.
Notable songs: - Let's Stay Together - How Can You Mend a Broken Heart - It Ain’t No Fun to Me
would be like a 4.5, such a great soul album, al green one of the best
Adoreeeei o álbum todo! Se tiver que recomendar, acho que seria #5 e #7.
I think this was a very enjoyable listen. The instruments and Al Green's voice come together like they're all one big family. A huge highlight of this album were the vocal harmonies of the various people on this album. I do think some songs sounded a little bit the same.
There was a time when I was listening to a lot of classic soul. Should be more familiar with this one by now.
I hadn't heard any of Al Green's music before this but I'm glad I have now. It's a lovely listen.
260/1001 Al Green - Let's Stay Together Heard before? ❎ Revisit? ✅ Heard a few tracks by Al Green, but never delved deeper into his work. He's got an incredible voice and the production is wonderful.
This feels like one of those old-school records where the opening title track is the main event and everything else is filler. As iconic as the title track is, everything after the first track is still delightful listening due to Green's soulful crooning and the immaculate production. It feels like Green is carrying the touch that Otis Redding left behind. I enjoyed Green's take on the Bee Gees 'How Can You Mend A Broken Heart'. This is soul music with a gospel twist. Green will steal your girl and praise the lord above in one swoop. I'm in no way religious, but I can still enjoy this style of music as long as it is not overly preachy, which Green rarely is on this album. Classic soul always makes for easy listening and this was no different.
Very mellow and nice. Started strong with the near-perfect Pulp Fiction cover. If it would have kept that pace a 5 for sure, but the rest pulled back a bit. Great listen.
Some insanely chill R&B. Sounds are really good, more accurate to my taste. The type of album to just vibe with!!!!! 3.5/5
A soul master. Apparently can't do the same thing twice, Saw him opening the concert for John in Liverpool 1`990. He did Come Together. This is standard fare but doesn't include my favourite Tired Of being Alone.
It's good. Let's Stay Together and How Do You Mend a Broken Heart are incredible, but the rest of this album did kind of pass me by and wash over me a bit
Yes Al let’s .. immediate repeat listening required
Al was a great talent and this particular album features what was perhaps his best song. This is a very nice listen.
Æ har kanskje aldri hørt på Al Green-sanger med vilje, men om du hadde bedt mæ fortelle dæ kordan en Al Green-sang høres ut hadde det vært omtrent som alle sangan på det albumet her.
32 minutos muy disfrutables. Gran versión de los Bee Gees
Smooth soul to start the day. 4/5
Good Sunday music. Smooth and easy.
I saw Al Green perform at Bonnaroo of all places. He was 60 some years old, and one of the best performers of the weekend. The dude absolutely brought it. This album is a gem from start to finish. I have to give it four instead of five because it's a bit homogeneous in terms of sound (it's barely over half an hour), but I appreciate how much it packs in in such a short amount of time. It gets to the point and doesn't waver. Great album to make love to, but I'm probably not going to listen to it time and again.
So relaxing, the music and vocals are flawless.
