    It has been said that when the Bee Gees heard this version of their song, they said that this was how the song should be sung. Al Green is as good as it gets.

      Wow -- years ago I walked into a doctor's office and they were playing the Bee Gees original version of this song. There was another patient sitting there as I came in, and I said, "I know they wrote the song and sang it first, but it belongs to Al Green." She smiled and nodded in agreement.

    How Can You Mend A Broken Heart was written and originally released by the Bee Gees. The song is not talking about the heartache of losing your main squeeze as most people believe, but speaks about the agony the Brothers Gibb faced after their period of breaking up as a group and of not speaking as brothers. A sad piece of trivia - Barry Gibb once confessed that he has to live with the fact when each one of his younger brothers died, it was during a time when he wasn't speaking to them.

    This is not one oh Al’s biggest hits but it’s one of my favorite songs by Al. I think you should listen again. Think about heartache and pain of not wanting to live but finding a reason to live. His vocals are amazing on this . Takes you to church and preach it to you.

    This song really speaks to the heart in a gentle way to soothe you when you are dealing with loss. When you have to challenge yourself to keep moving forward. Al does that in his music as well as anyone ever has. The background instrumentals/vocals are purposely not overwhelming because they compliment Al's slow delivery. But, it is a much needed song and great in it's own way and purpose. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    This was a cover originally done by the Bee Gees. Al put his own spin on it. Some other Al Green songs that might like better are: Let's Stay Together (a bop), Love and Happiness, Look What You've Done for Me, I'm Still in Love with You. Al Green brought a gospel flair to pop music. One of the greats vocalists of all time!

    Ashley:. The production for this song was trademark Al Green. Willie Mitchell was the producer of most of Al Green's greatest hits. Maybe this quote from Willie Mitchell will help you understand what he was trying to do in the production of this song. "According to Mojo magazine, producer Willie Mitchell instructed the band to imagine "they were sitting by a river, a forest across the water, with all this music coming out of the forest and floating across the river, kind of delayed.""

    Al was one of the greatest pure singers and entertainers of all time. You should check out "Simply Beautiful", "Love and Happiness", "What a Wonderful Thing Love Is", "Look What You Done for Me", "For the Good Times", "Guilty", "I'm Glad Your Mine". His "I'm Still In Love With You" is one of the greatest albums ever released. I would put it up their with "Thriller" and other greats. In fact in my opinion it was better.

    This song is not a love song, it refers to the break up of the singing group The Bee Gees. "How Can You Mend.." was never released a single by Stax Records, later in 1978 Vogue released it as a 45 rpm. This tune was written after a breakup of the Bee Gees. “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”, originally released by The Bee Gees, was the lead single on the Bee Gees album Trafalgar. Primarily written by Barry and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees, this song was the groups first U.S. number one hit! The song was written after a period of distance between the brothers. The writing of the song helped bring the brothers back together. Billboard ranked the track as No. 5 song for the year of 1971. Lyrically, the song is genius. Its central question about how to mend a broken heart is answered in one word never actually uttered by Robin Gibb: Love. Barry and Robin wrote the song as they were bringing the band back together after the Bee Gees had split up. It really is a song about the brothers and for the brothers but it reflects the universality of sorrow being vanquished by joy, the joy of love. This most human of truths will remain a constant as long as people live. Al Green's one and only number one hit was in 1972, Al Green went to No. 1 on the US singles chart with "Let's Stay Together," his only US chart topper.

    It's always good to be honest. Al always did a soul version of a Pop or Country song on his albums. This was for people who were familiar with The Bee Gees song. A slow jam that grow to be a classic for him but not every song back in the day can hit every time. You have great taste and I'll trust you'll learn to love them in time.
