my God, i don't know why but that almost literally brought tears to my eyes. when that song was written man, people were real, things were real, life was real!! if you called someone and the weren't home, guess what, you had to just keep tryin till you got them at home so it was like a built in filter, so you knew who cared about you. somebody wanna send you flowers or a gift, well they had to physically go and get it,no ecards, or amazon that ll it takes is a "push of a button" to say i love u!
@maxtheknife I don't think that's true, because when you search for the song in the youtube searchbar Al's name is the first name to appear and the most viewed video of Tina's version of "Let's stay together" has only over 400 thousand. Al's version has 6 million views. This is his signature song along with "Love & Happiness".
You can tell that when Al Green says "You make me feel so brand new" and point his finger to Tina she had a flashback of a lot of memories until the end of the song,what a beautiful moment
Can watch this over and over. It's so intense and beautifull, there's so much going on between the two, you can see. I just love it!! We must cherish these two icons.
@badqual You are right, maybe because is a short version, and he not sing; (why the people break up, turn around, and make up), you know the perfection minds.
PS : AL!...That's plain to see !...You're so happy to be here singing for both the Audience and Tina .Can you Ever imagine how these 2:33 of happiness reach the deepest part of me .Great Live moment !
@EZA757 Too cool . Hey, maybe the reason you dont have that kind of voice is that staying in college is best for you in the long run. Good luck with your studies. Rocking response to this video.
Al just gets better and better and better! This version sung to Tina Turner is so warm and in a sense personal - Tina seems genuinely moved by the moment...very, very special. Thank you for posting!
well, I cried a little watching this, because he and Tina go wayyyyyyy back. Al knew her when she was married to Ike...and he spent a lot of time hanging out with them. And Al knew that she was being abused and was one of the first men in her life to tell her that she needed to leave Ike...he did an interview years ago, where he said that he called Tina when she was making her comeback..and he told her that he badly wanted her to sing this song. He knew she would make it a hit for herself.
tina did this song in 85, and just to think that 20 yrs later she's in the audience with al sayin hi to her after his song. thats actually pretty cool, she even had that im about to cry look on her face the whole performance. this is a great vid...
To say his voice has gone south is a judgment made by someone that has not witnessed much passing of time. A lot of recognizable qualities are still inflected by his style. Very few singers have been able to keep their voices in a hermetically sealed vault for use only onstage/in studio. I applaud their vocal character and appreciate that day to day life brings on the changes one must go through, and still perform. Thank you Al!!
ANYONE INTERESTED IN CELEBRATING TINA'S 70TH BIRTHDAY? This is a call to participate in a flashmob to celebrate Tina's 70th birthday on Thursday, November 26th, at 6 pm in Cologne (Domplatte - in front of the Cologne cathedral), Vienna and Zürich (main trainstations).
Maybe a little bit formal for letting loose - you should check out Al on Dave Letterman - the crowd certainly don't hold anything back; or the audience on Later - all up here on You Tube - what a sublime song, and Al, truly a consummate entertainer - it just brings me to tears.
I bet no one noticed the edit of this song... listen to it at 1:01, it cuts, they left out a good 1minute of the song... I hate when TV specials edit classics!
There's an edit in one of my all time favourite songs - The Two of Us by Grover Washington Jr. (RIP) - a double Grammy winning song - the worst part is that what you wonder is how the rest of it was - I'm sure there is so much magic we miss out on in this way.
I think she's pissy because Al made this a wonderpiece with pure talent and makes it look easy. Ever seen Tina tryna sing this song? Takes all of her guts to hit these notes!
What the hell are you talking about? Tina changed the arrangement and hit notes that Al Green could only dream of being able to hit. Tina would sing it simple the way Al Green does but she always adds extra emotion to songs. Even Al Green said that he liked Tina's version better.
Watch him in 1993 at the Apollo doing this - the absolute best I've ever heard! Al might prefer Tina's but I prefer his! AND he can still get those sustained falsetto notes in his sixties - MAGIC!
I dont think she look bore, this amazing song form Al green is the song that make it happen for her, i think she look like she is enjoyeing it and that it brings good memories for her!
I always thought that Tina And Al Green should of did a Duet of this song. His version is asking the question and Tina's Version is demanding that they stay together. Tina seems so touhed because they were both from Tennessee and this is the song that began her success as a solo artist in 1983. Go ahead Al sing the song to the Queen Ms. Tina Turner who is Simply The Best, and Aretha Franklin knows it.
Wow, Al Green and that wonderful choir in the back singing to Tina, Let's stay Together...Woo this was good. Love Al Green looks like Tina enjoyed this as much too. Thanks for uploading this!
