When you get a minute, please check out my Video channel called:
"Kato's Music Room" @ vodpod dot com/katosmusicroom
There are a LOT of inspirational messages from Bishop T.D Jakes, Bishop Noel Jones, Dr. Jamal Bryant, as well as complete episodes of my favorite TV shows like "TV One's Unsung", "I hate Chris" etc....You'll also find videos of my favorite music artist's like Marvin Gaye, Enchantment, Al Green & Gospel Music !
I was listening to Al on an interview, and I thought he said this concert was actually recorded in the morning for a television special. Can you imagine being that "on" early in the morning? He is truly a great talent!
By the way, the show was called "Soul" and it aired in 1973 on PBS. They are currently in the process of finding the old video tape and attempting to salvage the surviving shows. I am hoping they will release it on DVD. Cross your fingers!!!
então , eu já conhecia essa música na versão dos BEE GEES mas agora que conheci o original com AL GREEN só vou ouvir nessa versão ! graças ao filme O LIVRO DE ELI .
Classic beyond Classic... Way b4 my time.. but wow... wish more of the younger generation could hear true music.. not all this pop and rap shit... That was real music..
Well, regards. 2011 is upon us. May all Bee Gee, Al Green, La Roux, Talking Heads, Rolling Stones, Sam Cooke, Curtis Mayfield, Mozart, Schubert, Sex Pistols, Justin Timberlake, whatvever -> Planetary love and respect one another's choices, preferences and even dislikes. As the French say, wisely, " Vive La Difference!". It'd be dull if we all agreed. Harmonious, but prosaic. Happy New Year to all who read this. Keep listening. Keep loving. Keep Being patient and tolerant. L.O.V.E. x <3 X
Thank you for posting that performance. It's unbelievable at best. I'm a huge fan of his and yet because of the fact he stopped performing secular music never heard him sing this song like this.
All Green is a master of both the instrument of the voice and the phasing of words but in my opinion some songs just don't work that well when done with a "r/b" twist compared to other methods and this is one of them. The timbre of both Robin and Barry in the original is perfect for the character of the song; sad. In Al's rendition you never get the sense of "dispair" the original captures, rather we enjoy an exercise to Al's voice/range/control. There is a difference.
Al, Mr Green boy this is real music live band and a true voice nothing created in the studio, what happened to music, he feel everything he singing about...love it
Footnote to previous comment: He also covered Roy Orbison's "Oh, Pretty Woman" but it wasn't a hit for him--never released as a single; however when you talk about soul hits: Love and Happiness, Let's Get Married, several dozen gospel recordings, etc. you have to give this man credit where credit is due. And he's STILL performing since 1967 professionally, since age 9 as an unknown--shall I go on, or have I included enough to make the point that this man is most certainly NOT "average "?!?!
Someone hasn't done their homework. AG either wrote or co-wrote nearly every hit song he sang with the exception of the following: Can't Get Next to You, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?, For the Good Times, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, Put a Little Love in Your Heart, and Funny How Time Slips Away. All of the others were either written or co-written by him: Back Up Train,Tired of Being Alone, Let's Stay Together, Still in Love with You,Call Me, Living for You, etc. 40 years worth of hits!
@hopediamond4real How many of those were world wide hits? big hits? what has he done apart from a few covers since the early 70s You may love Al Green, and he is a good singer, but great belongs to others such as Sam Cooke, James Brown,Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, not Al Green.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yes, Al is an average singer, to reiterate...what was the last big hit that he had that he actually wrote? it was back in the 70s! great singer songwriters keep having hits, the Bee Gees have had hits in almost every decade, that is what makes artists above average.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@NelsonsHat " Average Al" I can relate to that, the brothers Gibb were unique, there are hundreds of great singers out there, the songwriters are the gifted people, singers are just vehicles for their songs.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@Goblinshead He left the secular music industry in the middle of the 70s to surrender to the ministry. This could likely explain why he didn't have hits in other decades...because he was too busy leading people to the throne of glory. Let's recap- saying no to continuous fame and fortune to pursue a Christian profession and lifestyle. Doesn't sound average to me.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@Goblinshead Actually, that's not my opinion...that actually happened. Well, also consider how much he accomplished in the very short amount of time he had... Also, he came out with a secular album called Lay It Down a few years ago...which he won a grammy for in his 60s. Very average. (sarcasm)
@Goblinshead Well, it's a good thing you're not a main judge of talent...otherwise, we wouldn't have amazing soul songs and amazing soulful renditions like this one (the one that you spent/wasted your time watching, critiquing, and commenting about a man who you think is "average")
@coryepps Listen you vacuous simpleton I am merely stating my opinion, which I am entitled to do, I do not rate Al Green, I never have, next to other artists he has always been average to me. Now run along your puerile drivel has become irksome and mundane!
@Goblinshead You say you don't rate Al Green, but in the same statement, you say he's average. Would that not be "rating" him?? And yes, you are allowed your opinion...and I am also allowed to give my opinion on your opinion, therefore, you can give your opinion on my opinion which leads to us both being opinionated on each other's opinions.....
@coryepps Al Green last had a hit in the 70s that makes him average to me too, the real soul singers like Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye were far superior songwriters to Al Green, he was average next to real class.
@NelsonsHat "aakin"...that's not even a real word. Who's the village idiot??
Again, I understand that people are entitled to their opinion, I never said they weren't. I'm just encouraging people to put things in consideration. Also, I'm entitled to give my opinion so who made YOU "the sheriff of youtube" to say my opinion is inadequate? Also, I love Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye and totally have high respect for them...

@PerignonPop I actually agree with the Poet, this is an open forum where people are allowed to express their opinions without mendacious little underlings like you attempting a verbal war of attrition.

I have become tired of your puerile drivel, I would rather braid the hairs on my ass than continue any further conversation with a simpleton like you!

@slugman2000 Man, you're dismal. 'How can I mend my broken face?' is the song you'd be singing through your busted nose and broken teeth if you voiced half the pish you spout on here in the average bar. Witless goon. QWERTY pest. By-the-way - just how many sign-ins do you have for this? I see you're over on Al's other songs on the wind-up too. In various guises. Pitiful.
@PerignonPop How pathetic to make a threat over a computer! that is indicative of the type of person you are, a knuckle dragging half wit, who is barely litterate. This is an open forum where people are entitled to express their opinions, it may not concur with yours, but to make idle threats is disgusting, you are a discrace and should be reported.
@GeorgiiiiRaWK "Barely litterate"? You're a scream. What's this - YouTube User ID # 23849? In the first instance I requested merely that you cease ranting at people and using foul language on a page where there was none. You chose to be abusive, escalate matters and then start bleating. Don't hand it out if you can't take it.
You sir, are "a discrace" and should be in a remedial English class at approximately Primary Five level. But I'd fear for the kids, so maybe not.

@Goblinshead I'm like a ghetto bride son - no veils. I simply said that you would be unlikely to abuse people in your delightful way in the average bar. You'd get what's coming. Or maybe they'd summon a Psychiatric Nurse for you if they were feeling benevolent. You need Sectioned brother. It's a taste of your own medicine that made you nauseous. But you were pretty sick already.
@PerignonPop You do need further education, it is ver poor grammar to start any senetence with "But" I suggest you seek further education you half wit! how dare you preach to others when you do not have the rudiments of English, you are the object of others ridicule, now run along simpleton, you are becoming mundane and irksome!
@PerignonPop Please do not worry about me "son" I can hold my own on the dark side of any town, so spare your verbal parlance, I do not like the fact that you even dare to insinuate that people are not allowed to voice their opinions, you are a feckless tosser!
@PerignonPop "You need Sectioned brother" why are you using capital letters in mid sentence? also just look at the above and try to spot the deliberate mistake, you idiot!
@ 17 DJ LOVERGeorgiiRaWK/Nelson's Hat/Goblinshead/TENRECORDS etc., etc - you surely are one sad, miserable little internet troll with your countless avatars/IDs/sign-ins. Voting up your own drivel. Voting down any reasonable person objecting. I think I'm the third or fourth person to tumble you. You're are that bleeding obvious. Strewth. You tragedy.
@ArchangelBoab ... You mentioned ID’s (17 DJ LOVERGeorgiiRaWK/Nelson's Hat/Goblinshead/TENRECORDS etc) as being the same person. How can you tell? Who are the other ID’s that would total ten?
You know, I was beginning to wonder about this myself as these same ID’s seem to pop up on several Al Green & Bee Gee videos often inciting violent arguments. How does one go about reporting any violators? Thanks for your reply.

@ZQJM Just because others people views may not concur with you own does not make them a violater, grow up! to reiterate this is an open forum, how can you have a violent argument over the internet? Perhaps it is you that finds it difficult to cognate. How can anyone possibly have 10 accounts? you people live in dreamland, wake up and tune in you half wit!
@slugman2000 Maybe I will... by the way, you might want to cut down on the profanity so that people MIGHT actually listen to what you have to say. (No religion in my opinion, just plain ol' common sense and class)
@coryepps Who made you the sheriff of you tube, leave people alone to debate on whatever terms they wish, if you dont like the language, leave...its as simple as that!
great music is great music stop comparing this artist to that artist all put out great music for us to enjoy as the great ray charles said its relative tell a good story have agood hook through in a great melody and its goig to do what it do baby
Regardless of the what ppl say, My love for Al Green's music has out lasted my enjoyment of the BG. I have everything Al has done and one cd of the BG and I would never degrade the BG so shame on the ppl who cant enjoy or just walk away. Al is a legend and just won a grammy for his last successful effort Lay It Down. He is still in good voice, and ppl still pay to hear and see him(.)
@millsbrothers Well put! I was just telling someone else, Al Green is the only entertainer I know of currently performing who can still fill a concert hall to capacity after 40+ years in the business, still sounds great, and is still winning grammies and other awards, is still being invited to perform on every major TV show,etc. Stevie Wonder and maybe Smokey Robinson may still be able to, but few others. AG is #1, period!
how dare you? the real hoodbillys love al green. he was around way before this song made it big. when a black man couldn't even drink water at a restaraunt the same as white people. yet he was touring in the worst shit holes ever. Yet his music was crossover to all races... so how dare you? check out the real hoodbillys on you tube
To other races, meaning no disrepect, Al Green was the equivalent of the Bee Gees to the Black community. You have your idols and we have ours, plain and simple, so can we just enjoy the music, no matter who is singing? Personally, I love the Beatles too, but you have to show some understanding of what sounds good or better to other races.
Hey look, I believe it just depends on where you grew up and who your parents were. In the Black community ...(and not just black) Al Green is a legend. I'm 31 and my Father and Grandfather both would play his music when they were in the "dog house" or when they wanted to dance ..hell for any reason. In our community we grew up hearing Al Green and after you say his name legend went right behind it. We were also aware and danced to the Bee Gees. Mr. Al Green is above average in our eyes.
how can georgii say al green was an average singer.. he had more soul in the tip of his finger than all the bee gees put together..i guess one mans meat is another mans poison.. but i will admit this is not als best version of this song
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@bonzadog41 Marvin Gaye,Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, they were legends, Al just did not step up to their class, thats just my opinion, to which I am entitled. As for the Bee Gees, well they are beyond parity, anyone who can write songs such as To Love Somebody, Words, I Started A Joke at 17! is pure genius.
Did y'all really just argue over the internet calling people dipshits, idiots, and imbeciles for trying to defend Al Green...get a life lol. You could at least be creative with your insults..
THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT THE REVEREND AL GREEN THAT IS "AVERAGE". AVERAGE DOESN'T STAY AROUND FOR 40 PLUS YEARS WITH HIT AFTER HIT AND SELLOUT CONCERTS. AND THE REVEREND'S LAST BIG HIT WAS IN 2008 WITH "LAY ME DOWN" WITH THE SAME TITLED CD.
you're a fool GeorgiiiiRaWK. If you're going to disrespect Al Green and promote the Bee Gees then go on the fricken Bee Gees pages you idiot. This isn't a competition, we're fans of Al Green you moron.
@000aysh People have the right to their opinion, and the freedom to express it wherever they wish, you are the moron here, do not attempt to suppress people with your truculence imbecile!

@17DJLOVER have you ever heard of bosa nova? i did'nt think so. its one of the greatest incarnations of soul and jazz. The jazz you listen to now has most of its influence from bossa nova. including the artist sting with the song how insensative, and some artists like Antônio Carlos Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes and João Gilberto started this. if you dont know these people it's probably because you havent expanded your horizons more than in your back yard. oh and bossa nova is from brazil.
@neoams100 Is that the best you can offer the world? over decades of music! we are talking about the modern era, because thats what these clowns are being contentious about, please try to keep up!
Al Green did not get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 15 years ago on the basis of one song. He and Teddy Pendergrass provided great soul covers of the Gibbs' song.
15 hours ago I did not know that you have been existing at all. I posted here my opinion about music, not about any person and you think you have the right to insult me? Music is the bridge for understanding and connecting culture - I walked on it, since I'm 9 and I respect as a whitie the black music heritage as it must be. Who is here an idiot, based of what was posted? Open your narrow mind man and you will see wider and understand wiser...

@Goblinshead Well, it's a good thing you're not a main judge of talent...otherwise, we wouldn't have amazing soul songs and amazing soulful renditions like this one (the one that you spent/wasted your time watching, critiquing, and commenting about a man who you think is "average")

@coryepps Listen you vacuous simpleton I am merely stating my opinion, which I am entitled to do, I do not rate Al Green, I never have, next to other artists he has always been average to me. Now run along your puerile drivel has become irksome and mundane!
Goblinshead 1 year ago
@Goblinshead You say you don't rate Al Green, but in the same statement, you say he's average. Would that not be "rating" him?? And yes, you are allowed your opinion...and I am also allowed to give my opinion on your opinion, therefore, you can give your opinion on my opinion which leads to us both being opinionated on each other's opinions.....
Opinion...just figured I say it again.

@coryepps Al Green last had a hit in the 70s that makes him average to me too, the real soul singers like Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye were far superior songwriters to Al Green, he was average next to real class.

To other races, meaning no disrepect, Al Green was the equivalent of the Bee Gees to the Black community. You have your idols and we have ours, plain and simple, so can we just enjoy the music, no matter who is singing? Personally, I love the Beatles too, but you have to show some understanding of what sounds good or better to other races.

Hey look, I believe it just depends on where you grew up and who your parents were. In the Black community ...(and not just black) Al Green is a legend. I'm 31 and my Father and Grandfather both would play his music when they were in the "dog house" or when they wanted to dance ..hell for any reason. In our community we grew up hearing Al Green and after you say his name legend went right behind it. We were also aware and danced to the Bee Gees. Mr. Al Green is above average in our eyes.

The jazz you listen to now has most of its influence from bossa nova. including the artist sting with the song how insensative, and some artists like Antônio Carlos Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes and João Gilberto started this. if you dont know these people it's probably because you havent expanded your horizons more than in your back yard. oh and bossa nova is from brazil.
