      OMG yes! A 70s childhood..great memories! I remember the grown folks would be in the front room playing records on the record player, drinking cocktails and smoking cigarettes(I mean, it was the 70s). And the kids would be in a back room watching tv and playing games, and sometimes we’d sneak out into the hallway to listen to the music and laughter. Good times!🥰

      ​@Bronwyn-cf3um Wow, did we all have identical childhoods? You painted the picture exactly. For me, it would be aunts, uncles, and my cousins. We would be watching TV or listening to our own music while playing boardgames. I had a collection of other stuff from prior Christmases like a pinball machine, a 3 in 1 pool table, air hockey, and ping-pong table. I look back at those times with great joy and a bit of melancholy because the adults are all gone even many of my cousins. I, myself, had come close calls due to epilepsy and kidney failure. I thank my parents, aunts, and uncles, for the wisdom they gave me. The music and Good Times* then were truly fun, and the best!

The music on this album just makes you feel good and mellow. This is his prime. Horns are smooth and subtle. His voice oozes soul. This is REAL music.

    Finally. I can't believe you haven't done a deeper dive on him. Between his falsetto and the Memphis horns... Here are more to check out from him: let’s stay together, you ought to be with me, call me, sha-la-la, tired of being alone, I’m still in love with you, here I am (come and take me), look what you done for me, love is a beautiful thing, for the good times, funny how time slips away (also done by ray price and there's a lovely cover of this with al green and lyle lovett you should check out as well). And he and Annie Lennox do a nice version of Put A Little Love In Your Heart.

      In our tradition , especially in the JAZZ Genre, the voice in and of itself is an instrument. That being said, David Ruffin 's ability to convey the emotions of any song makes him top tear. That's why he's near of the top of my list. Marvin Gaye and Prince are next on my list.

    One night, I was at the club with friends and a man in his early 70s asked me to dance to this song. He was a little more than forty years older than me, but he showed out. I danced with him a lot that night as he put the guys in their 30s to shame. 😄

    That hard driving rhythm is courtesy of the Hi Rhythm section (as in Hi Records, the label for which it was recorded) - Mabon “Teenie” Hodges on guitar, his brothers Charles on organ and Leroy on bass, and Howard Grimes and Al Jackson, Jr. on drums. Horns by Wayne Jackson, of the Memphis Horns, on trumpet and Jack Hale on trombone. The song was written by Al Green and Teenie Hodges. Who co-wrote several of Al’s hits, including Take Me to the River. Another great Hi Records song featuring the Hi Rhythm section you don’t want to miss is Ann Peebles “I Can’t Stand the Rain” - a great Friday choice!

      If they do Switch they also have to do, There'll Never Be.

    Rev. Al is the GOAT. If you did a month of Al 3 times a day, you still wouldn't scratch the surface of this man's greatness. Everything he recorded from the early 1970s to the 2000s is pure fire.

    A wonderful singer who is seldom mentioned that I think you guys would really like is Jerry Butler. He was one of my parents' favorite old-school singers. They started me listening to him around 4 years old. That was the same time I began listening to Al Green, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson....all the greats of the 50's and 60's.
    He has such a smooth, soulful voice, very easy to listen to and enjoy. His voice was so smooth, his nickname was the "Iceman" .
    Please first listen to:
    1. "For Your Precious Love" by Jerry Butler and The Impressions/1958
    2. "Hey, Western Union Man" by Jerry Butler/1968

    Al Green is the embodiment of soul. You have to hit Let’s Stay Together, his best. Also Sha-La-La-La Makes Me Happy, and many others like Call Me.

    I cannot remember if you guys reacted to any of these following Al Green songs, but if not, you absolutely MUST react to them:
    "Let's Stay Together"
    "Simply Beautiful" (Queen Latifah did a remake of this song as a duet with Al Green, btw)
    "I'm Still In Love With You"
    "Tired of Being Alone"

    I regularly put on Al Greens Greatest Hits Album and let it play through. It's one of my all time favorite albums. My guess is that your Parents and Grandparents were digging on this album too, back in 1975. My High School Music Teacher had played on some of Al Greens recordings over the years, and he turned me on to this album. Next you should react to "I Can't Get Next To You" which is a funky cover of the Temptations hit, then "Tired of Being Alone", "Here I Am". I promise you won't be disappointed.

    This is real R&B and it’s 1,000,000 miles away from where R&B is today. Which is crappy pop. You see you don’t need a video. This is what the artist intended. I remember being up in Harlem in smoky, sweaty clubs dancing the night away to this beautiful music in the middle of the black counterculture. 🕊❤️🎼

    I had an Al Green LP when I was growing up. Let's get together is one of the best songs ever. But I was thinking, Amber, you like horns so much, I recommend Stan Getz, one of the best saxofonists ever. He was the best pairing for samba and samba jazz, and his pairing with Chet Barker is gold.

    I knew Amber could tell she was about to get something real good for her ears when she made that "stink face" (2:00) when the beat dropped. LOL, she was smelling that funk way down deep in her soul. 😁

  • @miltonslocum8957

    So glad ya'll got back to some Al Green! This is what's called grown folks music.😀 My wife and I love his music. We have several of his albums. And ya'll haven't even scratched the surface of Al's catalog of songs. I knew ya'll was in for a treat. And when that base dropped it was all over.😂 Amber, your face said it all! And Jay, there's plenty more of his songs you'll be adding to your backyard playlist. Songs like Let's Stay Together, For the Good Times, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, Tired of Being Alone, Simply Beautiful, I'm Still in Love With You, Belle, and many more. Really loved the reaction guys!
