[@amd77j]

Heck to the yeah!!!

[@johnjohnston4672]

❤I saw him in 1973 at blossom music center Oh-io I've been listening 50yrs. and still counting ❤

[@patriciadavis1393]

Do you know I just recently found out that Al Green was born to a family of sharecroppers and they didn't say how many but a big family and they moved to Michigan when he was eight or nine so he did not have the best start and look what he did starting from Humble humble beginnings❤❤❤❤ not only is he smooth he is an inspiration❤❤❤❤

[@tribeofjuda]

The soul of a man. That's Al Green.

[@clintonbeck9054]

When live sounds better than the record. A powerful voice!

[@vanessaecampbell]

And the best band live ever!!!!

[@patriciadavis1393]

I am a 68 year old female Canadian and I have been rocking with Al Green since College when I bought his first album and it was living for you and I still listen to it to KZbin to this day❤❤❤❤ Al Green gives new meaning to the word smooth❤❤❤❤❤

Chris Brown usher they wish they could sing like that

[@Ciclopea2]

I love when he sang this one with the band Chicago in a TV special i think it was, such a strong soulful voice.

[@cynthiamungofa]

It really was an awesome collaboration and the Chicago band members were smiling in awe throughout, twaz magical performing with Al Green, the Ram 🎉

[@davidstepro7486]

1970's motown was some of the best music ever created!

[@kevingoins9858]

True but Al's music is Memphis soul!

[@JGHOUL-oy6xb]

Al Green DID NOT record for Motown. Al Green recorded for HI RECORDS in Memphis, TN.

[@KeithPonder21]

Al Green was under contract with Stax Records, and never Motown

[@user-hg9vg6cs7s]

Al is a Memphis Legend . The original was recorded by Willie Mitchell at his studio.

[@MrNewktrane]

​@@KeithPonder21Al was never with Stax, he signed with Hi Records Genius Producer Willie Mitchell & the world's greatest Rhythm Section- the Hi Rhythm Section. The music they created out of Royal Studios didn't sound anything like Detroit, Philly, NY, California or Stax- which was practically down the street. To this day, the best description of what they created remains by the Queen Aretha recalling her thoughts upon first hearing their music: It sounded like a new & older sound at the same time".

[@jackconway7952]

How this man was ever alone is something I will never understand

[@amd77j]

[@jasonlynn1017]

This is one of the powerful expressions & descriptions of the lethal sickness predominating modernity since The 1980s until now, an era of the highest suicide rate of young men ever recorded in history, the highest measured depression rate in both sexes, and the highest overdose levels which, very often, are just veiled suicides but that is not reported as even with evidence, because the Federal agencies nust have their the Drug War, and "bad guys," and people using drugs for suicide, ie, intended OD, is a fact shaming and embarrassing to a DEA Chief blithering people have " no good reason to use drugs" as American life is so perfect no drugs "needed" and surely no suicide due to SOCIAL AND NATIONAL conditions ( again hiding the truth that perfectly happy people can and do use drugs). So the psychosexuality dieaster that is America, with loneliness and forced celibacy a NATIONAL & SOCIETAL Disease, with sexless, loveless marriages a societal disease, with sexual health at an all time low in 5o years, all these conditions make this song far truer now than in the 70s.

[@carlprice9370]

old school was the best, I don't know what their doing today their music ,sounds and style are so lame and boring

[@waynedexter]

The INCEL anthem, much?

[@shawnmcvey7789]

Maybe if it was sung by a whiny emo band. This is Al Green, I'm pretty sure he was so sexy in his prime some of his fan encounters would count as him getting sexually assaulted by todays standard. The interpretation of the song is an important part of the context.

[@bhibhas9433]

The song doesn't sing to any one gender.

[@dranchd6571]

Grow up.

[@waynedexter]

Get a sense of humor

[@waynedexter]

@@bhibhas9433 I know. It’s a joke
