FIRST TIME HEARING | Al green-How Can You Mend A Broken Heart | REACTION

[@susanhicks2300]

R&B royalty right here.

[@crudburgerwithfries3614]

The absolute don

[@MsWhoDatFan]

Oh yes!

[@carolbrown605]

Yes indeed

[@anthonymeans7439]

Fa show!!

[@brendabernstein286]

Abso-freaking-lutely

[@blackprix]

This was the R&B cover of a great Bee Gees song with the same title… And the Bee Gees were for ever grateful to Al Green because they loved his music, that he decided to cover theirs and it worked out for everybody

[@cleopatra1633]

Indeed, fans complaining about stealing music have to shut up, especially the black people that complain that white people sing their songs. They complain the most. Music is universal.

[@atstafford10]

This is grown folk music, for sure!! Doesn't get any better than Al! Yes sir ree! Detroit, MI

[@pnojazz]

We thought we were grown, being 16 when this hit in 1971.

[@Mtc0nqr3r]

Man you betta respect the legend. Al is the truth. Just pull up his greatest hits album and let it play through. :)

[@chancebrown106]

Ironic this particular song is not on that album, I know this because I too play it all the way thru :)

[@lesliemitchell1364]

100%

[@beeseewill2407]

The original "How can you mend a broken heart "was written and recorded by the Bee Gees .Barry and Robin Gibb wrote the song in an effort to heal their broken relationship as a group and as brothers.Maurice stayed out of it ,but did sing on the record. It was nice,but when Al Green covered it, he made it his own .So soulful.The production.Wow. Those Gibb Brothers were brilliant writers .RIP Robin Maurice and little brother Andy .Carry on Sir Barry Alan Crompton Gibb.Age 75 and counting.

[@mackelwarren8600]

Are you kidding me 🤣🤣 The Bee Gees was kids when Al Green put this song out. SMDH

[@Renee1073]

@@mackelwarren8600 The BeeGees composed the song. Check your facts.

[@bertc2314]

Wonderful comment! It was reported that the Bee Gees said of all the covers of their songs, this was the best..RIP brothers Gibbs.

[@slycat2355]

The Bee Gees were some soulful singers!

[@lauriesandt5371]

Al Green is a bad bad man! More Al Green please! "Let's Stay Together" is probably his most famous song.🔥🔥❤️

[@nikkicarrington9365]

This is great, but there is a live version of this and it is an absolute gem, Al Greene one of the greatest.

[@sixfootbeauty]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@GoldenLady1007]

That live version is soul-searing. I LOVE it.

[@lydmarl.475]

Al Green was the man back then and he still is, never get tired of his songs, they always take me back to good memories!!!

[@russelbarnes7235]

I'm Still in Love With You, Call Me, I'm so tired of being alone, Love and Happiness. Those are my suggestions for more reactions to Al Green. THE One and only Al Green.

[@swurvegirl1978]

All my favorites. Also "For the good times"

[@pnojazz]

Let’s Stay Together!

[@cheryljacobs9385]

That song hit hard 🔥🔥🥰🥰 Can’t touch him 🔥🔥🔥🎵🎵

[@1herbert100]

You must hear Sam Cook do "A change is gonna come" It will break your heart. Sam was one of the greatest voices ever.

[@jamomathews9890]

Al was a beast... this song can be felt by those who have been through a thing or two 🤠

[@Qdub34]

was? that man is still alive and performing. Not like he used to, but he's still with us.

[@beeseewill2407]

Al Green"Love and Happiness". My favorite.

[@marlenelewis3801]

Al Green "For the Good Times" yesss

[@kemitamenophis3221]

Al Green: "Love and Happiness"

[@mildredpierce4506]

No one can sing like Al Green. He can make any song super soulful. Take a listen to his version of Unchained Melody.

[@MsPepsi819]

Al Green is one of my all time favorite vocalists. Along with Otis Redding

[@pandora3697]

Exactly!! Me too..we must hear music and voices the same way!

[@terry_moorer]

Al is a pastor now in Memphis ..... for many years now.

[@cornellwayne1229]

the Rev Al Green, one of the kings of soul!

[@h.c4898]

I grew up in the 80s. But there is something about the 60s and 70s music. Reverent Al green. Just pure joy.

[@pearlegates7079]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. An amazing rendition of a Bee Gees classic. Can't go wrong with that combination. It doesn't look like you've reacted to the Bee Gees doing the song? If you do, I would choose one of the older videos from when the song first came out in 1971. This was a concert staple for the Bee Gees and a crowd favorite for thier entire career. As far as Al Green is concerned, my absolute favorite is "Let's Stay Together."

[@ajcbng8289]

Time travel is possible 🙏❤️👏

[@Hafstralos]

My Aunt Queenie was always playing this 45 record with I was a child. And if the kids tried to touch she would go off. She was my favorite Aunt, I miss her. And Al Green was her favorite.

[@ericbush3399]

Seventies solid gold soul train soul baby!

[@creasybear31]

Tired of Being Alone by Al Green is another one that shows off his skill

[@brendalockhart5925]

If more young people would listen to this type of music it would calm them down and get them to thinking of better ways to resolve conflicts and in the process save lives. Placing their lives in a more positive direction.

[@cynthiasuggs8204]

Love ❤️ Al Green Love and happiness Let’s stay together

[@jalawoods1192]

This is a song that Al Green made a remake from the group who wrote it and sing it The Bee Gees ! Years ago I seen the interview with the Bee gees the interviewer asked them the question about the remake that Al Green did on this particular song . They said that they heard so much about it .they finally heard the song they all said it blew their minds !! What can I say I love the original from The Bee Gees and also love Al Green Versions ! Full versions are legendary and timeless 😍

[@swurvegirl1978]

Imagine hearing this song for the first time at 12ys old and crying bc you felt every word and note and Praying that no one ever makes you feel that sad Al Green catalog is SUPREME. You can drive from California to New York just listening to his songs. He is the undisputed GOAT. His band is on another level. The only artist you can listen to in the club,that will take you to church and back to the club in one song lol. Voice like melted butter🔥🔥

[@Lolo-zs2eo]

Love me some Al Green. So many memories growing up. One of my Mom’s favorite.

[@laminage]

Also this was one of the Many Hits that The Bee Gees wrote over the years.

[@Qdub34]

Nobdy like him. He was just performing in LA a week or two ago. This man is a legend among legends.

[@glenrushing5361]

Music Royalty. The One and Only Al Green. Rock&Roll Hall of Fame Inductee and received a Kennedy Center Honoree

[@LeoSpiritGenX]

Al… what can you say? Just good music and very distinctive voice. “Let’s stay together” “Tired of being alone””Still in love with you “ “ Simply beautiful” that’s my song!!’ Go ahead and take a deep dive you’re gonna love it and of course hip-hop sample of him as well. Some singers sampled a couple of his songs too

[@Blessdandhilyfavord]

Legendary!!! One of the best to ever do it.

[@tazaman2009]

If that's your first Al Green song you in for a treat because he got a slew of songs. 😎👍

[@roseyoung6585]

You do know the Bee Gees wrote this song? Their version of it may not be so exciting to you as Al Greens version though. I'm black so soul music is my favorite but the Bee Gees are really talented! They wrote so many good songs for a lot of famous singers.

[@laminage]

They were heavily influenced by American R & B most notably Motown. They wanted Otis Redding to Record To Love Somebody but he died in 1967 so they did it themselves.

[@Lubenica224]

Al Green=Soul. That is all.

[@carryjgful]

Dude, Al, Marvin Gaye and Smoky were the top crooners of Soul in the day. As far as solo artists but many lead vocalists of Soul/r&b bands of the 60's & 70's took lessons im sure

Mr. smooth Al Green is in a class all by himself.. I believe he grew up in the church as a preacher's son, and now in these times go by as the " Rev Al Green... Back in the day he took the world by storm with his smooth legendary songs.. Would be nice to react to his 1972 Live version of this same song....

[@peterslevin416]

Originally written and sung by the bee gees of course but , they loved al greens cover, high praise indeed.

[@dejavue54]

Yes indeed ..sing Al 😌😌😌...listen to "Simply beautiful"one of my favorites by Al ..

[@beeseewill2407]

The intro on Al Green's "How can you mend a broken heart" came from Chicago's "Colour My World",sang by Terry Kath.

[@shirlaa1594]

Where are our voices? I can’t sing but I have thankfully lived thru some awesome black music, voices, poetry. Where are you? We need this. It soothed our spirits and helped us push thru.

Justin Timberlake admitted he had some "Work" to do after performing with him at a Show. Also if you can check out his Version of For The Good Times. It was one of the very few times a Country Song became a R & B Hit. In those Days Songs only went beyond 3 1/2 Minutes. The other was Back At One by Brian McKnight.
