Let's Stay Together

Enjoyed this album more than I thought it would, it flowed well and resonated even on first listen. The mid tracks stood out - What Is this Feeling, Old Time Lovin' and I've Never Found A Girl. Left me wanting to listen to it again, incredible given it is almost 50 years old.

Legendary. Let’s stay together is a top 50 American song.

Great album, love als singing

I think Al Green was about 25 when he made this album. How does someone 25 years old write and SING this shit?

Muy buen album de soul, hermosos temas.

Relaxing as Brass!

Bastante chuloo! la primera cancion ya la concocia

Classic 70s Soul. What can go wrong.

Lots of songs that eventually became samples in famous rap songs :)

The Rev. Al Green to us common folk. Every Sunday morning in my house.

In 1999, Q magazine wrote that the album "shows him as the authentic voice of love's pain and purity on such wonders as 'How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?'" and that "[H]is cover of the Bee Gees' [song] took the soul ballad to new levels of artistry and refinement."

Sweet sweet lovin!

👍

It wasn't my favorite album, but it had a nice 70s groove to it. I could find myself listening to it again.

exactly what you think it is album cover is badass too

Liked it a lot, very calm and relaxing. Have only heard one song by Al Green in the past so it was very nice to hear all of these.

A phenomenal soul album from one of the genre's greats. Green has a great catchy, emotive vocal performance and its back by some really nice groovy, lush soul back drops. I especially enjoyed the brass used to elevate particular moments in this one.

Very smooth and calm songs with some funky in it, I like it, it makes you feel good and forget about your problems.

dope funky soul album Let's Stay Together: dope La-La for You: pretty cool chill song; alright So You're Leaving: good track What Is This Feeling: dope song Old Time Lovin': really good song I've Never Found a Girl: dopee How Can You Mend a Broken Heart: fine, vocal mix quality is kinda rough imo Judy: alright song It Ain't No Fun to Me: good song

Groovy and nice

Smooth listening.

Nice vibe. Short but intence. Best songs: So you're leaving and I've never found a girl & How can you mend a broken heart

How can you hear the opening horns for "Let's Stay Together" and not get pumped? Al Green's voice is so smooth, and my only complaint is that his vocals get buried in this mix and it's hard to understand what he's saying. Otherwise it's super groovy and mellow, perfect for Sunday Morning breakfast.

Smooth as fuck, and I really like how crisp the drums and guitar sound

Timeless

classic smooth soul album

Loved it. Would listen again

Klassiker, den ich wirklich gern höre!

Groovy echt tierisch

Smooth as butter. Why have I not listened to this album before? The funky, chill rhythm just burns on every track and the horns add a great layer. This one is going in my saved bucket and may even show up on vinyl in my house. I couldn't wait for the Stones album to finish and I didn't want this one to end.

I was in the mood for this today. Realized one of the main reason I like a song is whether or not I could see myself playing it for people. I would love to learn these songs and play them. Especially "It Ain't No Fun to Me" that song oozes groove and cool right from the first bass notes. And I actually felt feelings when the first horn swells of Old Time Lovin' came in. I will put this album on again and let it play in the background of my life at home.

Solid old-school soul. A classic, and one that I also like. 4/5.

Soul zoals soul moet zijn. Niet 100% m'n ding maar wel een oké album

Title song is a classic. Good soul album. Best songs: Let's Stay Together, I've Never Found a Girl & It Ain't No Fun To Me.

Enjoyed

Gran disco, suena muy natural y muy Gospel. Me gusta

not bad at all, I liked that the songs weren't super long but in this case they could've been even a bit longer

Love this. It’s impossible to sit still listening to Al Green.

Every song's a classic, every song's sound. Green's got a voice.

Muito gostoso de ouvir!

Smooth AF album all throughout. 8/10

Sensual, auténtico, puro Soul.

Fuck you, JF... it's a good album. C'mon, let's stay together, when the times are good or bad, happy or sad ❤️

Hit me with the horns! Overall, I like the mellow vibe and smooth grooves.

Así nomas

Pretty good soul? album. Very nice voice, and enjoyable to listle to.

Decent soul album

wonderful album to get on a relaxing sunday.

hell yeah, man. another great snapshot of its time - plus It Ain't No Fun to Me is a fantastic track, and a perfect way to close out this album.

Good stuff. What an amazing voice.

Fucking classic

Loved this! So funky and of it’s time but still holds out today. Gotta love some smooth beats and horns.

Bra soul

One of the best Motown albums

One of my all-time favorite albums .Al Green is hopeful and soulful.

I think I'm starting to get into soul.

Not as good as Al Green Explores Your Mind but still nice.

Already saved in Spotify albums. Classic album. The title track is my fav of the album. 7.5/10

Very good soul, I mean, let’s stay together is one of the best songs out there

Solid vocals. Sooth and tight R&B band. This album is a classic.

Amazing

I like it. Ole' SChool. Wasn't the best album i've ever heard.

1. Really strong, instrumentation is nice and just in general really calming. 2. Really chill guitar and synth in background. Piano really nicely combines with guitar and is good on its own. Synth and guitar remind me of the album Pacific with Hosono (first song on it I think? with the gliding up guitar/synth together). Not too fond of horns but not bad. Really loving the synth. 3. Love the bass part and tone of the bass. Guitar is nice, but not dominant. Really lets drummer shine, solid with synth too. Bass work is impressive. 4. Arpeggiated guitar and synth work is impressive. Guitar work really nice, chorus additional voices are good to hear. Love the guitar riff. *Learn this song, you'll love it* 5. Bass and guitar sound SO good. Amazing guitar work, *learn this song too*. Good jam. 6. Amazing synth, guitar, and especially bass. Really groovy. Strings are really nice. Trumpets are good. 7. Really relaxing and amazing guitar and synth. Additional singers really nice. Really nice bass tone. Love the Rhodes. 8. So strong off the start, guitar and strings beautiful. Rhodes is subtle but nice. Love it. 9. Guitar interesting and nice, tweed sound I think? Bass tone is really good and impressive. The horns are okay. Strong end to the album as a whole.

lovely, smooth, timeless

Solid!

I recognize the greatness of this album, but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the other 5-stars in my collection so far. I suspect the lines between some of these is going to be inconsistent. Oh well! 4 stars.

Fantastic, smooth, let's stay together is great

So full of soul.

Not bad at all. Hip hop isn't really what I am into but I can appreciate it.

Oh this album fucks

Classic

Great soul album. Title track is obviously the hit, but quality throughout the rest of the tracks, too.

4

Not bad.

let’s stay together is definitely the best one, album has a good vibe. it’s nice for like a chill afternoon, but since i listened to it on exhausted on a bus, it didn’t really stick with me

Soul is a genre I'm usually not crazy about, and this was no exception considering that all of the songs sound very similar to me, and specially taking into account how this man treated women. The album itself I don't dislike. I think everything about it sounds very smooth (the voice, the trumpets, the guitars, the bass...) and it is a nice romantic and slow vibe. But it is also not really my thing, so saying I truly enjoy it would be a lie. In the end, it is a decent album, though too one dimensional for my taste.

Pre Listening: Al Green… I can’t say his name without thinking about Let’s Stay Together, Pulp Fiction, and that in the 5th Butch’s ass goes down!” Unfortunately, Let’s Stay Together, is where I stop my catalog with Al Green. So I know I need to develop my ear for him more. Best: Let’s Stay Together — No way that was going to change. It’s a classic, and man it’s good. Great album starter but also a bold starter. Runner-up: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart — The control of his voice is amazing. He really shows his ability to sing in this one and really matches the tone of the song of someone really going through something. Another song I knew before this but had forgotten it’s quality. 3rd: I’ve Never Found a Girl — I love the horns in the chorus. It’s definitely one of those songs that capture what it feels to find someone unique. Post-listening: Every song is enjoyable in its own right. Every song has great quality and showcases Green’s singing ability. However, every song is struggling to live up to the album opener, which might be it’s biggest flaw.

Saved? ✅ Would listen again? ✅ Would recommend to anyone? 🤔 Would buy on Vinyl? 🤔

Brother Ali has a line on one of his songs "Sunday mornings play Al Green, make pancakes and watch cartoons" and he's right. Al Green is perfect morning music, but specifically a lazy morning when you really appreciate your lover, your life, and your family.

Jag tycker att det här albumet är lite tråkigt. Låtarna blir repetitiva efter ett tag och bygger inte upp någon intrig direkt. De är definitivt mysiga vid rätt tillfälle men detta är inget album jag kommer lyssna på många gånger om.

No lo habia escuchado antes, solamente el tema homonimo del album. Ya tenia like en spotify. me gustan los vientos y el groove de la banda en general, obviamente muy de epoca el chabon como cantante no me termina de cerrar old time lovin la la for you el organo de how can you mend a broken heart este tema es muy bueno it aint no fun to me

I know how iconic this is, so I know I “should” rate it higher, but it’s smooth R&B soul jams that make you think of silk sheets and Sunday mornings in bed. Not very much revolutionary - at least for me. 3.5/5

Знову якийсь соул.

Smooth and fun, great voice, nice melodies Highlights: "Let's Stay Together", "Old Time Lovin'", "It Ain't No Fun to Me"

Schon wieder Soul... Aber das war insgesamt ganz okay.

★★★½

4/9 added to liked songs

This album was saved by 'How Can You Mend a Broken Heart' for me. Before that I was considering if I should give it a 2 Standouts How Can You Mend a Broken Heart 3/5

chill, liked some of the songs

I know I’ve heard some Al Green songs but ever listened to a full album. Obviously recognize the opening song. A timeless sound. Let’s Stay Together is a great song. I enjoy this sound of this era of soul music. It’s just fun. Such a nice quality to his voice. This is about as easy an album to listen to. How Can You Mend a Broken Heart is a great song. Not sure I think of soul as a genre I ever really choose to put on but this is good. I’ve explored some more modern Neo soul but not the classic stuff like this. This is at least a 3 and might be a 4. It’s a great listen.

Nice R&B and Soul to lightly jam to

i grooveddd

Good grooves, a lot of the songs sound like jamming sessions

was okay.. liked the title track

me re gusto

The title track is among my favourite songs but the album just can’t hold up to those highs and it really doesn’t hold a candle to classics of the era.

Сара брала малину Марко 3,5

Very enjoyable. Reading about the life of Al Green while listening was also a trip.

Kinda whatever tbh. Not bad, but i wouldnt listen to it again. Doesn't even have a super standout track.

Good voice, good songs. I got a bit bored halfway through. A bit clichéd perhaps after 50 odd years

Very pleasant, he has a great voice and Let’s Stay Together is such a classic for a reason. But nothing stood out to me in terms of the songs other than that. Top Songs: Let’s Stay Together, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart

I did like it, but it didn't wow me. But I think that's the point of the album. It's very non offensive; he doesn't take any risks with sound of delivery, which might (?) be a good thing.

Smooth and boppy. Sunny winters arvo stuff

Good soul music

Album would probably hit hard if I had gone thru a break up but I'm happy rn so it was only alright.

MAIKLA DZEKSONA PRIMENA ZIAURIAIIII, kai kurie žodžiai neaaiskus, bet siaip fainei, pati klausyciau tik pora dainu, bet kadangi experiencas įdomus buvo, tai issaugojau visas 🙂‍↕️🫰💜

Já tinha ouvido Al Green. gosto sim e o albúm desceu bem legal enquanto trabalhava

07/17 Not bad

Ok

Smooth

Nice easy listening

Tone and vibes that reflect the vibes of the genre and era. Makes me feel like I’m listening to a certain type of soul music although I’m not sure that it would fall into this category(ps it is soul and is also RnB). Overall it’s a nice album, however none of the songs are particularly memorable for me since they all blend into each other quite well.

70

Good old fashioned classic 70s soul. If you enjoy this style you will absolutely love this. Smooth voice, just pleasant to listen. Made my day a little better!

Cool de fondo

Plaadi nimilugu on kaunis, aga ülejäänud plaat on lihtsalt... okei. Pole midagi erilist ega halba. Kõik lood läksid taustamuusikana mööda ja midagi ei jäänud kõrva. Selline soul ja r&b muusika, mida paneks kohvikusse taustaks käima küll. 3/5

Had me swaying away. A bit slow but it sounded nice.

some nice songs. i liked the "how can you mend a broken heart" cover. his voice sounds really soothing in that one.

Nothing wrong with a little Al Green. Not my favorite style of music, but good stuff.

solid

Nice and chill.

Can this website read my thoughts? I was scrolling through the entire list of albums last night, and I stumbled upon “Let’s Stay Together” by Al Green and thought, “I really want to listen to this one.” So this happened. I expected something similar to the vibe of “Let’s Stay Together” and “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,” which I got, but I was pretty underwhelmed by the album as a whole; in my opinion, this album could have ended after the latter track, since I didn’t see a purpose of “Judy” or “It Ain’t No Fun to Me” being there. A few tracks, though, I thought were pretty solid, and again, I could see myself listening to the album on a chill spring walk. I heard so many Marvin Gaye-esque vocals and instrumentals on this album, and it’s no wonder since they were from the same era; soul is a genre that I really enjoy listening to. However, I do agree with Marvin’s observation that Al’s falsetto range was a bit “too safe” and would probably prefer Marvin’s music over Al's. Al’s music on this album drags quite a bit with his ad-libs; you would really have to pay me to believe that “I have to keep on singing” was actually scripted because it was 99% not. Besides this, though, I found a lot of new songs that I could vibe to! I’ll probably listen to “La-La for You” or “Old Time Lovin'” once in a while, because those were the strongest instrumentally and vocally besides “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,” which is just six straight minutes of beauty with its arpeggios and the instrumentals after “breeze,” oh my lord. Although I was not feeling five out of the nine tracks on the album, it’s great with both themes of love and loneliness and encapsulates the feeling of yearning well, but a little bit less than Marvin Gaye. It’s an interesting mix of love songs, definitely, but it all fits under the “Let’s Stay Together” umbrella, especially with “So You’re Leaving,” which is basically just “Let’s Stay Together” but more demanding. Nonetheless, I love Al’s vibe, and I will most definitely continue listening to him on my subway rides. 3/5

Music to swoon your crush or partner! Let's Stay Together is a HUGE intro song. Imagine this man singing I've never found a girl to you, wow!

3⭐️

3.5

El grone sabe cantar no?

Amazing voice and the rhythm section grooves. Not really fan of so many romantic love songs. Ending track was fun.

Al's terrific voice and the excellent arrangement is enough to bring this album back from the edge of boredom on which it undeniably wavers for a brief while.

Let’s Stay Together - 3.5/5 La-La for You - 3/5 So You’re Leaving - 3/5 What Is This Feeling - 3/5 Old Time Lovin’ - 3/5 I’ve Never Found a Girl - 3.5/5 How Can You Mend a Broken Heart - 3/5 Judy - 3/5 It Ain’t No Fun to Me - 3/5

Mooi op het randje tussen virtuositeit en inhouden waar goede soul moet zitten.

me gusta la vibra y eso lo dejaria de fondo pero la verdad es q no es mi onda se me hace repititivo y aburrido

Great album from the rev

Got kinda bored but it was pretty

Like a 6,5 its okay. Fav track: “How can you mend a broken heart”. Kinda reminds me of portisehad’s “Glory box” i think.

Middle of the road smooth easy listening

Inget större intryck. Visst svänger det men så ... En trea

Pretty fun!

fun to listen to -- again not exactly my cup of tea musically for an entire album, but obviously some stone cold classics in here that are still completely delightful.

Good, but I’ve already forgotten it.

i like this not what i usually listen too but it’s def something that would kill on a record player or in the car when it’s warm out

Kinda brassy and a little slow for my liking. The strings definitely give me the old shows and cartoons ost vibe

2026.06.23.

Let’s Stay Together: 8/10 La-La for You: 6/10 So You’re Leaving: 6/10 What Is This Feeling: 6/10 Old Time Lovin': 7/10 I’ve Never Found a Girl: 5/10 How Can You Mend a Broken Heart: 10/10 Judy: 6/10 It Ain’t No Fun to Me: 5/10 A really calm album, i like this. But not for me.

Soulful funk music with perhaps one of the best male voices of that time in the genre. Nice jazzy guitar progressions drive the music forward, taking twists and turns. But if you lose that ear for the refined movements it will start to blend together.

nice

I like how these songs are quite calming. I might listen to these to relax some day. Although the songs were sort of not my style either.

This album is pretty good, I like how the songs have something to do with love. I also like how it sounds.

Smooth love songs

Pretty alright album. My favorite song was How Can You Mend a Broken Heart. Other than that, I don't really know what else to write about. 5.0/10.

Not the most invested listening to this one, listened twice to try and get a better feel. Easy listening but nothing stood out to me.

Solid soulful album. Really strong melodies. Probably wouldn't put on as more than background noise but I enjoyed it.

I'm always so impressed by the horn sections in these classic soul albums, and this one is no exception.

3,5

While I enjoyed the first few songs while biking (noting that I was surprised by how rich and mature his voice sounds given the goon on the album artwork), the monotony of the album started to depreciate my excitement. But once I started working and listened more for vibes than content, I started liking it again.

The title track is good. But by the last song on this eight-track album, I was thinking, "Haven't I heard this seven times before?"

Best leuk album

Al is a great singer and there are some good songs on this album but a prefer my soul music in the style of Sharon Jones, a bit more hard hitting.

Smooth vocals, MOR rhythms, bland melodies - yes, it's Al Green. In other words, it's just a shittier Marvin Gaye.

Some good songs, some subpar songs, no great songs. Just OK.

Smooth...

Probably the ultimate background music for a lazy afternoon or evening vibe, with a bottle of wine and hanging out with loved ones

Vibe

Nice bit of soul

such a lovely record

1. Let´s stay together 2. How can you mend a broken heart

Singing along with the title track here! I am not a big soul music person, but of course I remember a lot of this record from back in the day. There's something about the how it all works together with his vocals that's appealing, especially the subtle guitar and the horn section. I could have done without the Bee Gees cover, but otherwise this was a fine example of early 70s soul music. 3 stars; high end of 3.

Semplicemente bello

Good listening

This is an enjoyable listen with two out and out classics. I have always preferred ‘How to mend a broken heart’ to ‘Let’s stay together’ but there’s not a lot in it. Outside of these two tracks I really enjoyed ‘It aint no fun to me’. It’s strange then that i dont see this as anything above a 3.5/5.

The title track is a 5* classic all on its own, and still sounds incredible. I’ve also always thought Al’s version of “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” is better than The Bee Gees’. The rest of the album doesn’t generally live up to the heights of those two tracks, except for “I’ve Never Found a Girl”, but this is overall an incredibly tight, solid soul album.

Норм, но не зацепило

Crying for pussy: the album. fuera del chiste de mal gusto, se destaca por sus dos grandes hits y un tema más, el resto tiene buena música pero no pasa de eso, no destaca mucho y las letras se estancan hablando de lo mismo durante todo el álbum, está bien.

Some songs in here are amazing, not all, though.

Let’s Stay Together is anchored by the title song and How Do Mend a Broken Heart the rest are songs that kind of sound the same. Al Green has a good voice. The songs aren’t very interesting and the music all kind of sounds the same.

2.75. I mean, it's ok...

A joy to listen to on a very hot day

A lovely 3 stars, thank you RGP the title track opener and the closing “It Ain’t No Fun For Me” remain the highlights, gets a bit wobbly in the middle compared to his really strong LPs. Tom.

pretty freaking smooth man

ja het is lastig als je album te goed begint dan gaat het snel bergafwaarts daarna

Not my cup of tea however I was strangely pulled in to the lyrics and how soulful the album felt- at times it felt like the songs could have been wrote and sung in the 50s and at times it felt like it could have been made last week. To me that made the album feel timeless even if it wasn’t for my tastes. Fave track- ‘old time lovin’ Worst track- ‘Judy’ 7/10

Good enough, but I won't listen to it again. ★★★

Linda música pero no me destacó ningún tema. Ta bueno para tener de fondo de chill Sape

cine

did I like it or did it just make me feel like the protagonist in a 90s rom-com?

Good album enjoyed the vocals just not my style

Should be a bonus point for licking fly as fuck on the album cover.

Mucha onda el tipo. Le pone cosita soul, funk. Suena orgánica toda la música. Entretenido album. 6/10

His voice is just heavenly. Smooth, silky and slinky. And on the best songs it’s slides and soars. Some of the most genuinely horny singing you’ll hear with a side order of Jesus. Let’s stick together is truly world class sadly rest of album doesn’t reach that height

Objectively great, but not very into soul/funk. Fantastic voice / horns. 3

I don’t know this album very well. The tithe track is a classic song.

Decent funk/soul stuff but the mixing on the version I was listening to was rather terrible, some filler tracks too

Monday, 11/5/26 Memphis soul in full force. Amazing vocal performances and the backing band is stellar. Hi Rhythm band directed/produced by Willie Mitchell is on point. The title track is what everyone obviously remembers, but track two, “La La for You” is the standout.

Starts with the best track, winds down a bit from there. Could be put into the rotation for when I need something chill to listen to.

Smooth but dull

Classic and timeless. Who doesn’t groove to this?

This album is all smooth, gospel infused soul, and Al Green's vocals are just amazing. The production has this effortless cool vibe, the horns are tight, the guitar is perfect, and the whole thing has this chill, beautiful groove, perfect for a lazy Sunday. It's a lesson in keeping it simple and sounding good, feels more like listening to some good vibes than a performance. It feels like the album hits its high point right away. "Let's Stay Together" is a killer opener, but after that, things kinda fall off a bit. I;ve said it before, never blow your load on track 1... To quote Mitch Hedberg, "dude, you have to wait!"

Soul legend with his characteristic voice.

It’s just me, Al, a pitchfork and a giant bag of mulch. Some of my best yearning is done when my hands are in the dirt. 3.5

my tierlist 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

6/10: opening track is an absolute all-timer but it got a bit repetitive towards the end for me. Great voice and a very well-produced album but not really my vibe. Best song: Let’s Stay Together Best moment: hearing the opening to Let’s Stay Together and realising it’s the song from Pulp Fiction

2.8/5 Favorite Songs: Let's Stay Together Ain't No Fun to Me

A good album, I liked It Ain't No Fun TiMe the most.

A vibe, honestly. Nice for the morning drive.

I think most everyone knows the title track, which is a legendary song. But outside of that and the last track on the album, I found the album to be a bit monotonous and totally forgettable. Green no doubt has an amazing and smooth voice, and the songs are all very chill. But there wasn't much on the album that stood out to me. Good background music, but not something I would listen to again as a whole.

This album was just fine. Nothing really stood out to me, but it was all very listenable. It reminded me of Vulfpeck (or maybe that should be vice versa…). 3/5.

Al Green is pretty much exactly what comes to mind when I think of soul music: passionate vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and smooth, groovy music that doesn't get in the way of the vocals. That's a positive and a negative thing. As far as this kind of straightforward approach to soul goes, this is pretty close to the peak. But that straightforward approach also limits the possibilities. There are no surprises here; some songs like "So You're Leaving" get into a good groove, but there are no challenging song structures or topics to be found. And that's not a bad thing! Green's voice and lyrics make this impossible to dislike. But I also find the whole package a bit too simple to truly love.

Didn’t do much for me. Thought it was solid but the songs kinda sounded the same

Alright

It's OK, some good, some ok, nothing bad

Αν και αναγνωρίζω ότι αντικειμενικά είναι καλή μουσική, δεν με ταρακούνησε. Μου άρεσε, ωστόσο θα την άκουγα στο υπόβαθρο Let's Stay Together

Smooth, but too smooth for my likibg

Album #130 Al Green: Let’s Stay Together As blasphemous as it sounds to most people, I am not the biggest fan of soul music. Normally, that is met with responses like “you have no soul” and other similarly clever retorts… However, it isn’t that I don’t enjoy it; I almost always do, I just don’t seek it out. To me, it is like jazz, enjoyable while it’s on, but ultimately doesn’t stick with me. I don’t catch myself singing a line in the shower, or hearing a note as I fall asleep. This album from Al Green has some pretty notable tracks and stays consistently acceptable, yet I am fairly certain I will never listen to it again. Such is life. Best Tracks: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, Let’s Stay Together, La-La For You Worst Song: So You’re Leaving Score out of 10: 6.5

This is good porch-sitting, sunny day music. Al has a wonderful voice, but he does a little too much of what Pandora Music would describe as "excessive vamping".

This might be first full album I've heared of R&B in a biblical sense of word... And some of the moments I really liked and loved, and some moments that annoyed me. So far I don't know what to make out of it. But I must admit this guy has a ton of charisma in his voice

my dad loves this album. I've heard all these songs since I was a kid so I was very nostalgic

The unmistakable voice of Al Green, soulful and funky. Great, chilled-out musicianship throughout. The title track is one of his best known tracks.

Soul might just be underrated.

didn’t feel it

Nice and entertaining.

Every time I encounter some soul I really like it.

Soul songs with Stax flavor and just a bit of funk, features the classic title track and How Can You Mend A Broken Heart. A powerful voice and skillful, soulful singing over smooth arrangements provided by prominent Stax musicians.

So smooooooooth!!

Tastefully restrained across performances and arrangements. The horns are especially nice. Let's Stay Together is head, shoulders, and probably torso, above the rest of it though.

It’s alright nothing too special. Some good melodies and instrumental but lacks iconic songs.

Its not the kind of music im used to but it was actually really good. I put maybe 2 or 3 songs from this album on my playlist but i dont think i’ll be listening to them regularly

Quite nice

Not bad.

Voice appeared hidden in mix, not excited by the songs or production but not terrible

I like the first song- let’s stay together But I can’t listen to it all the time

5.5/10

i like

Solid, but somehow didn't totally grab me. Possibly not helped by doing a load of work at the same time. Likely better than I am rating right now.

Let's start together will forever be one of the greatest songs ever to me. The nostalgia from it brings back such amazing feelings. The album as a whole isn't to slow as some say but does start of very strong leading to a craving for some songs closer to the feeling of the first, and undoubtably the most iconic.

It's very 70s. It just drippppppppss 70s (I see you Bee Gees song). I don't hate it. It's kinda' in the same class as Van Morrison: pretty, but not really doing much for me.

I could listen to Let's Stay Together on repeat, but the rest of the album didn't really grab me.

I will never listen to this again, but at least I don't feel like I actually wasted precious moments of my life listening to it this time.

i like the album, just good vibes

Funny thing that RAYE just released her new Album with a song featuring Al Green. His voice has changed a lot in these 54 years since the release of this recording, but it is still recognizable as Al Green. Ok, back to this album. Opener is an all-time classic that many of us know, regardless of the decade in which we were born. The rest of the album is in par with that track. Soul's not my favorite kind of music, but I like to listen to it once in a while.

No private session used for Spotify. I like this, it's upbeat and funky. Al's voice paired with background singers and the horn section its just fun. I am trying to find the correct time to listen to this music and at the moment I am failing.

Pretty easy listening.

Silky smooth

Good listening.

Soul

Not my style, some songs made me think of spinning around outside or gardening or something

I like this. Have heard a lot of it, but wouldn't have been able to name it as Al Green, but now I will.

Solid album. Stuck to the good ideas it found.

very soul and classic, it's good but not my type

Vibe soul chill très sympa

Nothing that really stuck out to me just a fine easy listen.

Amazing voice and great recording. Title track is an all time classic but the whole album is really great 👍

It was alright.

Good

Peakar vid första låten och sen blir det ganska enformigt. Bra? Jovars. Något märkvärdigt? Inte alls.

It's alright

nunca lo había escuchado, bastante bueno y son canciones bastantes cómodas, no se como explicarlo pero se sienten como tranquilas. solo hablo de las canciones y del album, no he leído más del señor. 3

Al Green is one of the smoothest (except for Donny Hathaway - who is suspiciously missing from this list). This album is t his best IMO but still listenable.

Again, it's good. And by that I mean it's not bad.

He has such a calming smooth voice, it's very relaxing. I wish there were more stand out songs on this album than just the title track though. That voice could have done so much more.

Let's Stay Together is a nice soul album and Al Green's singing only makes the music better. 3.4/5

The title track reminds me of that scene in How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. Great song. But then the rest is kinda the same.

Two 70’s soul albums in a row. Such excite. I do enjoy hearing Let’s Stay Together whenever it’s played on the radio, so a nice chilled time to listen to the entire record is very welcome. And this was 34 minutes of pure soul groove. Nothing fancy or trying to be anything it’s not. But yet, I can still only bring myself to give it three out of five. I’m becoming stricter with my ratings. Standout track - So You’re Leaving

It was pretty but kinda faded into the bg. 3? Also too many love songs lol

Al Green is a vibe. Not a lot of songs on this album that are an instant favorite, but a big fan of his voice, his vibes, and his work.

This kind of heartfelt soul is one of my favorite styles of music (Otis Redding adjacent? Sly & The Family Stone have some tracks like this as well), so I enjoyed this album the good bit. I was already familiar with the Graham Station version of "it ain't no fun to me" (this must be the original?), which has some key differences in lyrics, namely: "Oh, it seems we make up//Only just to break up," on Al Green's version is "Why (I thought he was saying white until I looked it up) people break up, only just to make up//Hey, baby yeah, but it ain't no fun to me," and I like Larry Graham's cynical twist better. Overall, I enjoyed this album. If I were to give a nitpick, I would say it was a bit corny sometimes, and the lyrics were predictable. 7/10

Old-style, kinda slow. Not feeling it rn. 3.8

Let’s Stay Together makes this album worth it no matter what. Great voice and nice groove throughout

The title song is of course a classic. While the rest of the album doesn’t reach such heights, I still enjoy it his incredible voice.

This was fine, I enjoyed it. There were some great songs

got soul

Bara næs solid þristur. Geggjuð rödd.

It's good, just not for me

2.6

Smooth, mmmmmm loving grooving. Let's bide tegether eh????

I'm a huge soul fan, but the reverend isn't my favourite - I'm more into earlier greats like Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Booker T and the MGs, and the Stax sound (although Al Jackson does a fantastic job as always on the drums here, he's at his best with Donald Duck Dunn) Honourable mention for the Memphis horns that are outstanding as always Very close to a 4, but there's surely other earlier Memphis sound records in the list that will get there and beyond

Album très court (34 min) mais très sympa à écouter. Très sympa à écouter en fond mais pas de chansons réellement mémorable. Cependant super voix et instru entraînante ! Note : 3 À réécouter : Oui

It is decent soul album, which was easy to listen to. Smooth sound, soul touching lyrics (I guess so) However, I am not a big fan of this genre yet.

Only a few good songs but overall very chill

It's so groovy that even I can dance it. Most songs are perfectly pleasant, though the final track, "Ain't No Fun to Me," stands out for its gritty rhythm and Green's cutting vocal delivery.

Nice to listen to, but other than the two I knew already not a lot stuck out.

This album has a great single as an opening track. A couple other good songs but the rest is meh.

First time listening to an Al Green album. I instantly recognized the title track the moment I hit play. Although I never knew the song was called "Let's Stay Together" or that it was an Al Green song until now. The rest of the album is fine but nothing comes close to being as good as the first song. This is an album I'd give a 3.5/5 to if I could but for this i will round down to a 3/5 as it did not have enough to move it into 4/5 territory.

neat :)

It feels like there is 2 Al Green's on this album, one who sings in a falsetto and one who sings in a much bassier voice. Though I'm usually not a huge fan of falsetto singing, I actually preferred those songs.

Soulful, R&B - not what i normally enjoy listening to but it was quite nice anyway.

3.2/5

It wasn't unpleasant at all, I enjoyed it, but the vocals were so over the top silly that it felt a bit like a joke to me.

Horny. 3.49

the vocals were quiet on the recording i've listened too, but that made me appreciate the production more, which has become my favorite part of the record. nice soul album from '72, not much more to say. 6.7/10

This was pretty fun. Reminds me of a tarentino movie.

Music is nice. Fidelity is sadly lacking

Ganz nice

quite liked it, but not my taste

Was suprised I actually enjoyed listening!

1 big tune, 1 good cover

Enjoyed this, especially the slower stuff. Probably didn’t tip the dial enough to make come back to it. What a great voice. 3.5

When I saw the cover, I initially thought it was Khalid. He does look alike, especially from a distance, though his cheeks are a bit bigger. But the music turned out to be completely different — classic Southern soul with a sweeping tempo that makes you want to stroll down a sunny street, chest out, and an abundance of brass instruments. The lyrics are mostly about the opposite sex, in keeping with the genre's traditions. Returning to contemporary artists: while Khalid took Al Green's hair and left it at that, Justin Timberlake and Seal have clearly drawn heavily from his music. It's a pleasant album, but I can't give it more than three stars because the soul music is a bit monotonous and background for me. If you feel differently, you can give it an extra star or two.

Chill album, weet niet of ik het zo snel nog eens op zou zetten, maar ik hoorde wel fijne dingen. Niet zo bekend met het genre

5/10 01.03.2026

Let's Stay together carries this album, a couple other funky tracks but mostly forgettable.
