I remember cranking up the volume when Al Green was on the radio. 1969. 1970. 1971. 1972. 1973. Munich Germany. He was much loved in Vietnam. Thank you for your gift from God. 🎉❤. I am a richer person having known your songs.

[@beverleyreid563]

This is such a treat! Al Green can never be duplicated.

[@Ameenah1]

i might get the hate but I feel that Al's style is so unique and wonderful that it's hard to find someone to sing his songs in their own way and bring that fire

[@ronniemoon57]

No hate here, but, you're absolutely right. Love you.

[@helenmayberry6010]

No hate...no voice like his....Mr. Green...so Unique...like Mr. Vandross....miss him so much...RIP...Luther 💔🕊🕊🕊

Hits! Beautiful, soulful Hits, every one of Al's songs. A beautiful honor for him. Baby, Jennifer Hudson was raised on Al's music to be able to perform it like that. So wonderful to see the big smile on Al's face. I do just like Whoopi on that intro to Love & Happiness.

[@kdapson1452]

LOL. I can relate. When my mom would throw a party, I had to go to my grandfather's, who lived up front (we lived in an apartment behind his house). I swear, it seemed that the only album they would play from the time the party started, 'til the time everybody crawled home, was, "I'm Still In Love With You". I would hear "Love And Happiness" so many times during the night, that, as Whoopi said, all I had to hear were the first few notes of it and I knew it was being played - again.
