One of the greatest artists of all time

[@zellhudson1830]

THE GREATEST SOUL SINGER EVER.CASE CLOSED.

[@hannahnotanna]

What about Luther Vandross though? 😅

[@tribeofjuda]

for sure.

[@Simpobee]

Perfect example of that Sunday Glastonbury feeling. You've had the best week of the whole year (again), a combination of feelings you have never felt before and never will again, you are forever changed. But the end is near. You feel it. What you need is a legend of music to come on and give you more feelings. Wow, this is really happening. You will cry. But it's not time to be sad. It's time to dive in, one. more. time. Monday doesn't exist til tomorrow. Dance. Hug. Scream. Sing. Feel. 365 days until Glastonbury 2022.

This is so moving!!!, I'm really overwhelmed by audience singin' along with this institution, fantastic!!!

[@tribeofjuda]

It's just fun watching a Living Legend at work. There'll never be another Al Green. God broke the mold when He made him. The young Al Green was pure electrifying....set the world on fire. Now we're just giving him his flowers while he can still smell them.

[@rodjones2447]

Always love the Al Green music. Raised up on that music

[@rodjones2447]

One thing about Al Green songs that he sang ABC me from his heart and things that he been through cuz all of us been through the things that he's singing about best keeping it real

[@footballl560-i4m]

Let's stay together

[@melnoel]

We love you brother Al.

[@RZLAND]

I see Al all the time and he can still perform!!

[@davinloverock5464]

See him all the time?? Where?? How??

[@RZLAND]

He’s a neighbor.

[@MaxMaximusDJ]

This must be the best and biggest sing-a-long ever. Fantastic.

[@jamalsmith5073]

Definitely broke through the pop charts

[@tribeofjuda]

Truly, this man had so many Billboard Pop #1's and Top 10"s hits back in the day (almost unheard of for any R&B balladeer). His record sales rivaling the likes of the Beattles, Elvis and The Rolling Stones. "Let's Stay Together" alone sold over 20 million copies (quite remarkable for that time). In the early to mid 70's he was truly one of most sought after male singers in the entire world. Al Green is truly a Living Legend. Not just hyperbole, but in reality.

[@MrWhothefoxthat]

these kids wont remember this, the last dance of the knight at the soul clubs back in the 70s, you asked a girl for a dance and that was it.

[@AM-hb6th]

He’s one cool man

[@moneky6962]

sounds like youre really there!

[@jorgemunoz1665]

Esta es una clase magistral de un performer que definitivamente está a otro nivel, la primera parte de la canción la dedica a conectar con un público que generacionalmente está en una sintonía distinta a el, pide que bajen el volumen de la música de fondo hasta que sabe cuando es el momento y activa toda la orquesta, le hace sentir al público que apesar de ser una leyenda el también puede ser uno de ellos, al final todo el público corea con él, simplemente magia pura. Al Green sabe como entrar en el corazón de la gente y no importa que los tiempos sean buenos, malos, felices o tristes ❤

[@youreallihave001]

The GOOD REVERENED AL GREEN..I recall walking with My Mother I p.My Niece,and My Sister Leaving the N.O.JAZZ FEST One Sunday Evening.This Black Stretch Limousine pulls up on us as We walked across the Fairgrounds and stops.So I'm Thinking this could only be One Person AARON NEVILLE Slowing his car down to speak.My Mother asked Who is that Ernest and before I could respond the back window rolled down and It was The REVERENED AL GREEN...He had just closed out One of the Main stages and My Sister was holding one of the Trademark Red Roses He tosses out.I introduced Everyone and he sat and chatted and was Very Friendly and didn't appear to be in any hurry to get anywhere.Really Really Humble and Gracious Entertainer.Love& Peace 😎😁 luv ya byo eJ
