Al Green, "Let's Stay Together" on Late Show, January 13, 1995 (stereo)

The Reverend Al Green in a tremendous performance of "Let's Stay Together" and then, during the break, a bit of "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)."

[@ruggedroots1]

The Joy on his face is contagious. 🙂

When I lived in midtown Memphis my next door neighbor was a 80 years old woman driving her big old Cadillac when she had a flat in 1981.Some black man offered to change her flat but she was scare and he finally talk to her long enough and said he was a preacher and that work. He change the flat in a new suit which was all wrinkle up when he got through and she try to pay him and he didn’t take it. He told her his name and it didn’t register with the old lady until somebody told her that was Al Green the famous soul singer. He is a great man and a great Christian.

AND this is 23 years after the song was originally released! Not many artists bring even more energy after so many years. Also amazing how he exudes joy - look at the band - and how much they are into it, pretty amazing considering how many people have they played with

[@paoloalfante3801]

Simon Cowell use to say on Idol, “This kind of music is either in you or it’s not. You can’t fake it.” This video proves his point fifty times over, so genuine.

Simon Cowell is a PR man, a businessman, he markets things. He wouldn't know good music if it slapped his bollocks with a ruler. Al Green is Music, the shit Simon sells isn't.

[@taylorsunicornsquad5640]

Amen to that!

Before you comment on what i am going to say .. Listen to some of his music .BB King said he is one of the best blues song writers he has ever met . That hearing his music you think he has lived a life time . And at the time he was maybe 20 . Johnny Lang You hear a lot of the great band s and the soulful vocals from the 70 s in his music today .

Apologies to Doc Serverinsen, but Paul's band was by far the best ever seen on late night TV.

[@GrandsonofSoul]

This is the best performance of this song I've ever heard!! The thing that amazes me the most about Al Green is that he basically keeps it simple. He doesn't try too hard, and yet he's always as soulful as they come. True legend!

I saw Al Green midday on a Glastonbury Sunday. I am not confident I'd been to sleep in the previous 48 hours. There was a lot of dance music and a lot of rock'n'roll. It's also true that my and my friends where in a HIGHly emotional state. The reverend came on in an all white suit bearing roses to share his gift and his love. It was honestly the greatest thing I ever saw or heard. Could soothe any soul. A gift from god.
