Don was on bass. who is on organ? Billy Preston? No? Yes?

[MrSoulsista2009]

WOW

[ArtemisDreaming]

This is one of my favorite Al Green songs. I love how Mary and Bonnie did it. Mary did a wonderful job with this.

[Democrat64]

Mary J is terrific on this version of the song, but Al...now, Al is the man and the only one who can put that raw intense feeling into it, that reflects the feelings of love lost or found.

[luvbig41]

Bonnie Rait is a bad Mutha.......

[1319second3771]

Is that the back of Don Was in this video...help a sister out you tuberistas and tuberistos...this is sweet bonnie raitt , MJ blige.

[merical30]

that was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sturgismom13]

Mary and Bonnie have done a great job on Al Green's song. Both of these women are sooo talented. Love this song!

[jlady721]

One of my absolute favorite artists singing another one of my absolute favorite's song...that was BEYOND awesome...I almost teared up. She put so much emotion into it I could really feel it....

[jjjones77]

Mary's legend keeps growing. She is "simply amazing". Al's is obviously the best as he is a LEGEND. But Mary did it justice and her emotion was raw as evidenced by her dabbing her eyes at the end. There's a reason singer's like Monica consider Mary an icon.

[Paradigm06]

I usually dont loke Mary's remakes but she does a beautiful job. Not a scream fest it's so sweet and melodic.

[1960gal]

could not agree with you more. Bonnie was the 'draw' to this version for me.

Have this and Al's version on my Favs List.

[bankebrum]

I WISH someone can upload this one with

the same quality as the one uploaded by

I´m only here for Queen Mary !! Miss You !!

[eugenehilter09]

i wish they had the duet she did wit al how to mend a broken heart dat was da shit

[Shutitdown5]

I know Al Green loved this!!! He anchors soul in his songs.. Mary has alot of soul.. you can clearly see it in this... Her voice was perfect n very soulful n raw.... Ya'll Haters need to Fall back....

[lllyricc]

Check out "what about the way (me and my aunt) my nephew heard the song once and went right into it.

[med151]

One of my favorite songs of all time. Great rendition w/ Mary and Bonnie. But, no one can do it like Al Green (original).

[Vamply]

Sang it Mary!!!

[sugahunylips]

Good job Mary...

[PsalmSelah]

wow , it's a lot of Mary dissatisfaction here. How about she felt honored to be asked to do it. and even if she wanted to do it on her own so what. She isn't entiitled to like AL Green just as much as the rest of us. Please don't be selfish. Peace and Blessings2U

[eugenehilter09]

wtf are you talking bout she did good this was simply beautiful even when she sung with al green how too mend a broken heart everyone always got something to say bout mary she did this she did that than wanna bring up the drug years everyone always gotta hate fall back cause shell always be da QUEEN haters

[PsalmSelah]

Eugene obviously you didn't read my comment to send me yours. Try reading it again, then if you still don't understand what I meant, I'll explain it to you. Okay? Please don't be upset, its not healthy.

[eugenehilter09]

lol ok gotcha it was too late at night wink wink

[Shutitdown5]

I know Al Green loved this!!! He anchors soul in his songs.. Mary has alot of soul.. you can clearly see it in this... Her voice was perfect n very soulful n raw.... Ya'll Haters need to Fall back....

[luellakay]

I think Mary J did a great job. Mary always sings with feeling, perfect song. I do love Maxwell's version, but Al does own this.

[bankebrum]

Synd att dårarna under inte uppskattar GULD!!

[janet2gees]

Why the hell they have Mary J Blige singing this wonderful song, all she gonna do is scream throughout the song

[bankebrum]

As good as it gets!! LOVE them!!

[yopersonaltraina]

Queen Latifah's version is so much better, why would they let Mary J, Queen of Remakes, do this song? I haven't heard any great original music come from here. Everything is a remake.

[janet2gees]

wrong Al Green sound better

[yopersonaltraina]

I agree with Al Green having the best version. But I said Queen's versioin is better than Mary J's. The BeeGees did good but Al made the song his own. I've never been impressed with anything from Mary J

[iaintgonletup]

when and where was this filmed?

[1960gal]

found this by chance while I was checking out Al's MTG version. I ADORE Bonnie Raitt! Wasn't too fussed by Mary - until I heard this! What a collaboration, and this really works. I love it!

[mrniceinga]

Its hard seeing someone trying to take a Al Green classic and redoing it, yet I have to give her a thumbs up for effort. She did a nice job. Al is my boy though. This song rocks, call your girls up fellas and let this song play for them.

[ginginnyme]

Please dont jump on people so hard cause they have a different opinion then yours.. Please?

[ginginnyme]

Mary can sing anything and sweetly, I love her voice BUT latifah is good too AND AL GREEN IS THE BEST PERIOD

[SexyMina07]

Smoothandlegit is Cdiorboy07. Enough with all of the fake names. Your about to get banned again anyway. Your days on Youtube are numbered. Hahahaha

[SexyMina07]

Not feeling this. Don't mess with Al Green's music.

[SmoothAndLegit]

Who cares what u feeling ugly bitch, BeYAWNcy could NEVER do this and this WAYYYY better than AL shitty ass WEAK version, he cant sing like this and NEVER will.

[SexyMina07]

Al Green's version is 10x's better. Leave real singing to the ICONS. Al's voice is far from weak.

Fall back transvesdike!

[eugenehilter09]

out of all the singers out mary is one out of millions an the music world who is a real singer and who said it was suppose 2 be better or not???????? yes al green version is better u act like she tryin 2 be better she only doing a tribute DAMN HATERS even though you don't like it give her her props for tryin

[azariah3]

PFG is the way to the KINGDOM..in this game of life there are only two coaches God and the devil, who do you play for? organize people..subscribe NOW...pfg4life

[mrbunghole]

i respect this version just a much as al green, who actually deserves even more props for writing such an incredible song, as i do the fantomas version. So good.

[1hotmot]

This is the shit. Mary is my girl. But I just watched Al's version and he won. Nobody can do that moanin like brotha Al.

[Scrapluv]

mary killed this version..so simplistic...so emotional..so soulful.. simply beautiful indeed.

[BashsharC]

Mary ripped this. She is the best

[woogie382]

I loved this rendition. very rare that you get a good cover of a male's song by a woman but mary j and raitt are very talented. i wonder what al green thought...

[destinyjblige]

I love Mary soulful voice, it is painful and there so much emotion to her you can't help but to feel where she is coming from

[CBFREE]

just watched this after "the man" Al's version he wins .........but just
