Al Green performed on The Midnight Special August 3, 1973 Instagram: @TheMidnightSpecialTVshow Facebook: @TheMidnightSpecialTVshow TikTok: @TheMidnightSpecialTVshow Twitter: @TMStvshow
The quality of this man's voice will never be duplicated. Period. No one has ever had such velvety smooth texture, with the southern soulful growel and gritty getdown all in the same package. Al Green ran the whole gamut as it pertain to soul music. That's why he's in a class all by himself. Salute to the best who's ever done it.

His "solo live" performance on CZcams is even more amazing. One of the best live performances ever. I left my comment there. He was a very smart, religious, and honorable man. So much so, as he saw the destruction and perversion of the entertainment industry, he bailed out very early in his career. Many, he left behind are dead. I do wish we could have experienced the full potential of his talent and incredible voice...but for again, the vile music industry.
The horn section and Al Greens vocals make a perfect COMBO. What a National Treasure. My mother god bless her soul. Loved his music when I was a Teenager, she always played his greatest hits Album. She loved the way he sang the Bee Gees How Can You Mend a Broken Heart. I cry when I hear it to this day.
I love Al! I always loved his left arm and shoulder click. So much soul. Jewelry, teeth and all. Beautiful man. His performance was always before his time.❤❤
Mr.Al Green had a TIGHT BAND with a horn 🎺🎷🎺🎷that could sing 🎤 along with Mr Aaron Purdie on drums 🥁, and Mr. Tennie Hodges on guitar 🎸. Check out Mr. Al Green’s performance from the show SOUL 1972 or 73 hosted by Mr.Ellis Hazlip from PBS channel 13 New York City.
Can't believe I hadn't subbed to this channel yet. The Midnight Special was great! A Friday night staple for me and many otherts. And since I didn't get to go to concerts back then it's the only chance I got to see all these great artists perform live. Great performance of a soul classic by Al Green.
Al Green appeared on the show numerous times and on occasion he did perform the same song. There is another “Let’s Stay Together” from a different episode a year or two later. Check out the wardrobe he is wearing and you will see the difference but thanks for noticing.

Do it Rev.
Always loved Al Green's vocals and music! Absolutely no one can hold a candle to him! Thanx for sharing MS!
Ahhhh.....The good old days. I was a small child when this show aired. We had some awesome music back in the day.
Sing it Rev.
I love the horns in his band. They add so much to the song. Thanks for posting!
Al live performances were better than the album cuts

Jewelry game was next level
I don't understand how some people in the audience weren't grooving, they must've been dead
Soulfull as hell!
Silky smooth velvety voice.
That's Al Green.
The Best who's ever done it.
Como si un Ángel estuviera cantando esa hermosa canción con ese contenido ya no se puede escuchar ahora.
Always has a live band. Never lip syncs
After he made it big, Al green used to appear on tv and lip sync , had to have a live band to set himself apart from the less talented !
Enterprise Orchestra was groovin
NOBODY at this Level today NOBODY!
so true.
Mr.Al Green had a TIGHT BAND with a horn 🎺🎷🎺🎷that could sing 🎤 along with Mr Aaron Purdie on drums 🥁, and Mr. Tennie Hodges on guitar 🎸. Check out Mr. Al Green’s performance from the show SOUL 1972 or 73 hosted by Mr.Ellis Hazlip from PBS channel 13 New York City.
2:53 is so smooth
Eddie Folk on Conga
The Man !
WOW....one of my all time favorite songs....but even better this is my favorite performance of it.....Sing it Al...
Very few artists have that self confident swag when on stage ! Jackie Wilson had it, James Brown , Prince , Al Green and must include Elvis Presley !
The songs in their generation are meaningful.
Yes. But these old school songs had "substance"
Rev Al
The one and only!
SUPER CLASSIC AL ❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Excellent
I love and I think everybody love this song.
Wonderful
Man that's some great singing.
Awesome!
50 years ago today this was aired.
AL had the early 70s n a cobra clutch
I’m so in love with you❤❤❤❤
So great!!
Lo máximo Al Green.
Wonder how many babies were conceived with Al’s music? He’s so smooth and wonderful!! LOVE.💘
The GREAT Rev Al Green
Lindo ❤ lindo ❤ lindo ❤ lindo ❤️💋💋💋💋💋💋💋❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.😍.
A few days after this show aired, I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live at Pine Knob. Great show!!! He never disappoints.
so gooooood Al!
Thanks for another fine video, TMS!

Although Mr. Al Green chose an assertive outfit, he carried it very well.
Motown was so great.
i'm flawed!
Loved him!
Can you show a full episode for tonight ? How about Episode #2
Hasn't this (and the Al Green uploaded yesterday) already been uploaded here?

2:50 Ladies and Gentlemen 😁🔥 after that part he knew he had the crowd
Is Al wearing an original digital watch?? $$
He definitely liked his bling lol. On the other show he has on his platinum chain necklace 😊
I want that bracelet
Так этоже другое дело,спасибо

Country as a mason jar of grease
Probably in my top 3 favourite songs. What a blessing, thank you for posting. All the best to you and yours from New Zealand.
