Master class in the value of restraint in singing. This guy clearly has the chops to just go over the top and stun people at any point. He never does. In fact, at some moments where others might take a star turn, he actually backs off. He knows he doesn't have to prove anything. A completely mature and accomplished performance...

Good comment. And the backing vocals are amongst the best ever, any song , period. I know A&A felt a little cheated that the song faded out so fast, but the producer new his craft: "That was just perfect. One for the ages. And we're done." Transcendent, as A observed 51 years later~~~

Watching y'all react to this was an incredible experience!!! Rev. Al is music royalty here in Memphis. And he's a real reverend. He is the pastor of the Full Gospel Tabernacle, which is not far from Elvis Presley's Graceland. By the way, the drummer on this song was the late Al Jackson, Jr., who also co-wrote "Let's Stay Together." He was such a master of his craft that he was known as the "Human Timekeeper." More Al Green, please, guys! He has a catalog filled with songs that are every bit as good as this one. My favorite is "Love and Happiness." It has such a tasty groove.

I've been with my husband now for 22 years. There are days I was so mad at him, I didn't even want to look at him, other days I couldn't STOP looking at him and feeling the love that we have built up over that time. It's so easy to just give up in a marriage, that's the easy way. The harder way is working to accept the other persons differences and remembering that is what drew you to them in the first place. None of us are perfect, I make mistakes and apologize when I am wrong. This man has stood by me through thick and thin, loved me through a terminal cancer diagnosis and is still beside me. I know he will be holding my hand as I pass from this world into the next and eternity is the place, I want to spend with him. I am so glad I grew up listening to music like this. Al Green, Barry White, Lou Rawls, The Isley Brothers, Gregory Abbott, Terrance Trent Darby... so many great soul songs that are heaven to your ears. Thanks for the memories on this one.

My Baby and I loved this song for 44 yrs! My Baby passed away but hearing this song is perfect! He was my everything and he did know more about me, then I did myself! It encapsulates everything we were and how we felt since 10th grade at Robinson High in Tampa.

Oh! You made my day. Just yesterday, I was driving and I heard an Al Green song (Sha La La La La) on the radio. And I realized I hadn't seen any music reactor react to Al Green! Thank you for this!

OMG!! YESSS!!!!!!!!!!!! SO HAPPY to hear your reaction to this!! There was a time in the early 70's Al Green was The Man in R&B/Soul, and this is from that time!! A few more you need to hear are 'Love and Happiness', 'Here I Am', 'How Can You Mend a Broken Heart', . . . really, just look up his greatest hits, listen! Haha!! A cover of this by Tina Turner was the start of her 80's reemergence!

One of the stone cold classics from Memphis. Reverend Al has a church here called the Full Gospel Tabernacle. I know he was still preaching pre-pandemic but I haven't heard anything since. His voice is legend

1974 I was 12 years old, babysitting one of my first jobs and found this album in a stack. Damn! Blew my mind then, still blowing my mind today. Best R&B song ever. Reverend Al 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Can you imagine being one of the session musicians for this? The engineer and producer wouldn't have to tell you a thing. I know I would play the tastiest shit I've ever played without even trying. Goosebumps everytime I hear it.

As a man who grew up listening to Al Green every day in my teen years, i must say you two have nailed what Al Green's voice was about and his persona when he sings. Restrained, Powerful, Control, Emotional and my fave, so SMOOOOOOTH! I love Al Green. Thanks for getting to his vibe. I must say i was shocked when you two pulled him up. LOL. Al Green is the ultimate artist in his craft. Welcome to his world guys. You've done well in choosing Al Green.

You guys nailed what it's like to be a couple that's been together through good times and tough times. You wake up one day in the midst of a life that doesn't really look anything at all like you thought it would 20 years earlier, and you look at your spouse and realize that their dreams didn't really come true either, but the two of you stuck it out even when it didn't make sense. Then you realize that the vows you took 20 years earlier about "'til death do us part" and "for better or worse"...those vows that you stuck by have become a gift that allowed a beautiful, committed love to flourish. A love that isn't dependent on circumstances or feelings. I can honestly say that if I could choose any woman on the planet to live my life with, I'd still choose the girl I've got. That's why I sometimes call her my "girlfriend for life". And that's true even if I'm mad or annoyed with her. She's the only girl for me.
