I grew up on all these old musics and i was born in 91 so most my age group don't know what i am talking about unless their parents played it all the time when they was kids..
This version is good, and the BeeGees deserve credit for writing it, but what this version lacks is soul. This is too pop-y. Al Green really makes you feel it
I love the Bee Gees, however it reminds me of when my first husband broke my heart. The version of Al Green reminds me of how Jesus Christ mend my broken heart, so when I listened to Al Green's version I don't feel bad.
I really hate disco Bee Gee (except Jive Talkin). To me, this is their best song and Robin's crowning moment. They had to appeal to the masses and disco was their only way back to the top. Even Barry couldn't wait for the hysteris to die down.
The Bee Gees are one of a kind and no group can touch them as far as dance music and just to listen to it. I can still remember doing the Hustle Dance in a Leisure Suite and Body shirt with platform shoes. Al Green has his own style of this hit and he does it ok but the Bee Gees are better .

@008crv i love the bee gees but al green is a whole different style tht most people just dont understand but if u would like to compare groups beach boys would be a better comparison...i mean u hve to give one man credit if he is being compared to a whole group...give al green 2 more great singer like curtis mayfield and marvin gay then lets do some comparison
I remeber when i lost my first big love and this song was popular. I played it over and over again and crying almost a month and belived that my live was over. Today I can laught at that memory but I didn`t do it then. (sorry for my bad english).
Guys! What does the facts have to do with anything. And why does anyone have to be ignorant. No one can argue with the facts. Yes the BEE GEES own and recorded the orginal version, and it's great!! Yes AL GREEN re-recorded the song and made it his own soulful version and it's great!! There is a cultural differance and it is a matter of opinion. No one is right or wrong each indivisual has their opinon on which version they feel is better. It's all a matter of opinon. Respect everone's.
For the ignorant who dont know the facts, or cant look them up, the Bee Gees wrote and OWN the song!
"How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" was released by the Bee Gees in 1971. The song had been written by Barry and Robin Gibb in August 1970 and recorded it on their 1971 album, Trafalgar.
The song was recorded on 28 January 1971 in London.
A 1972 recording of the song, recorded by Al Green, was prominently featured in the 1999 film Notting Hill (film) and 2010 film The Book of Eli.
It's sad that no one has respect for anyones love of music. I am a Black American
41 year old women I grew up on the BEE GEES and AL GREEN and they are both powerful artist in thier own right. There is no need to be so critical,disrespectful, and insulting because one person prefers one version over another. Everyone should respect an indivisual's right to thier opinon without such nasty insults, and anyone who has an opinon should respect an indivisual's right to thier choice of music. LOVE!!
If you aren't exposed to other cultures musically, you'll always compare vocal styles. Al Green, The Isleys, etc., have helped create babies.: Every culture identifies with their own but music is relative. :)

This is song is not bad. This is alright. But what a disresepctful thing to say on your video clip. "Fuck Al Green"??? So not cool. Now I like Al's version a little better but this version is good but lets not disrespect great artist.
Am about to try to introduce my 15 year old grandson to the BeeGees. Think I will need all the real fans out there to be thinking of us. it's going to be hard--no doubt. He is a good vocalist, good guitar, and close to great pianist; knows and likes the Beatles, but then every kid does. I think theBeeGees have gotten lost in the younger musician's search. Love you Robin, Mo, and Brian--the best. and to you who made this sound happen--Thanks.
The great thing about well written songs, is that they can be interpreted by different artists and each artist brings their gifts to the table. There is something for fans to like. No need to talk about who has the 'better version'. Take the broadway musical standards that have been performed by many artists. I like the Bee Gees interpretation and I like Al Green's interpretation too. It's all good. I'm glad both artists provided great music for me to enjoy.

@Thanatos7129 Your bizarre dyslexic post notwithstanding, if I understand it correctly I (think) I agree with the sentiment, along the the other lobotomised monosyllabic sheep who dribbled while clicking the thumbs up icon.
I heard both versions when they first came out....IMO they are BOTH great....People, it's OK if you don't like one or the other because it's not your preference, it's OK to have different tastes in music!! No one performer can please everybody!! Just enjoy whichever version you like(or both!!).
Wow this uploader is just a douche for saying fuck Al green. I think he did an awesome job on this song but I like both versions equally and I'm more of an Al green fan
Here m8 you have a bang hang up the Bee Gees and Al Green sing the song with conviction I personally would hate to choose there is many a song I love and sang by different artist, but they put they put their own input into it.
Both contributed to beautiful timeless music, so who cares...Did it ever cross your mind that Al Green did his version because HE IS A FAN OF THE BEE GEES. You idiots... I didn't wanna name call, but my goodness people.
@MrYoubtubin PREACH MrYoubtubin!!! I don't understand why it was necessary to go there anyway, this isn't the rap game where there is east/west coast beef... this is real music!!! LOL
@minustheBSlifesgr8 I agree with you....the Bee Gees are just beyond parity...why do Al Green fans keep coming here to bad mouth the Bee Gees? Al Green is a reasonable singer but the Bee Gees are legends
@Chicawapa100 Wowzers, I don't know if I could ever put Al Green and the words reasonable singer in the same sentence because Al is the MAN in my world! But I feel where you're coming from, let's end it with this, they are all very talented and I'm glad that after all these years, we can still enjoy BOTH of their music (:
Your ballad, my ode to a t.v. classic...LOL!!! Look since their is more than one, it makes it a version. An original, but still the Bee Gees version...And the argument on here is not the legacy of the Bee Gees. I must have hit a soft spot with the bluegrass comment that made you ignore my entire statement. The Bee Gees style of music has been counted out by the industry, but Soul music is still here, so the impact of Al Green has lasted longer, one could argue. Both are monumental.
@MrYoubtubin I knew as soon as you started the sentence with "And" that the education system had failed you, I would rather braid the hairs on my ass than argue with the village simpleton!
if one was the type of audiophile that enjoyed a group (or band) that has harmony down to an exact science, such as the bee gees do here, then you would truly enjoy this song for the incredible experience that it is. Like i do. but thats just my humble opinion. I also enjoy Frank Sinatra so what do i know right?
I pray for Robin during this most difficult time. Also, I know that Barry must be going through hell, losing Andy, Maurice (Morris) and now this. We never know what God has planned for each of us, but I know He is with the Gibb Family.
This version has none of the vocal dynamics of the Al Green version. This version sounds more like an intro to the Grizzly Adams t.v. series, than the LOVE ballad version presented by Mr. Al Green.This version is more bluegrass than soul. Both are good versions, but totally different. ... It just depends on the type of music you like. Fans of Country music will probably like this one more, as fans of soul music will favor the other. NO REASON FOR ANYONE TO HATE...Stating the FACTS
@MrYoubtubin This is not a version! this is the original! this was a massive hit on its own merits, it did not need the help of any films past or present. As for the comment about it being similar to bluegrass, that is ludicrous! it is a ballad..plain and simple.....another Bee Gees classic, as singer songwriters they are beyond parity.
It would have been easy to mend, when my heart was only broken. It was shatterd. It took me a long time, to keep my eyes dry, when I was listening to this song. Still it hurts like hell.
This song still reminds me to this day30 some yrs later of one of my true loves from school. The Bee Gees will Alaways be one of my all time favs. What a band & what and what memories they still give me till this day. & R.I.P Andy our generation will never forget you.
Fair point..I didn't mean to disrespect the Gibbs..I was just defending Al Green...I've always been a huge fan..lets leave it there..I don't want to start another war of words with you guys.
Sorry couldn't reply at work...so where were we? Oh ye.. I was gonna say that although I love the Bee Gees I'm not sure what their unique sound is..all I hear is their version of black soul music or their version of Beatles music...it begs the question how could they not be successful when all the hard work has already been done for them by the Beatles in the 60s and the blacks in the 60s and 70s..all they had to do was copy.
@22v68 Everybody is influenced by other artists, all bands admit to that fact...the Beatles, the Stones and the Bee Gees state what artist or song or sound made an impact on them, that does not mean that they cannot surpass that particular band or singer. What makes the Bee Gees so unique is their diversity, to have a huge country song out like Islands In The Stream and a mowtown song Chain Reaction out within a few months of each other is incredible. That is what is so special about them.
I never said Al Green was as popular as the Bee Gees, I know his career was very short, I think he only sold 25 millions records but fior lovers of black soul music from the 70s Al Green is a legend...this song by the Bee Gees is a foot note in Al Greens career...Blue Eyed Soul is a poor imitation of authentic black soul music, the fact that it's popular with the White people who buy it doesn't change that.
@22v68 Actually...if you scour you tube as you always seem to do...feeding from other peoples conversations, you will find that they were just as popular with black people, in fact the ratio was quoted as 50/50 at one time. In future you may wish to use the whole of the cerebrum instead of the minute part your thoughts occupy.
Love And Happiness...Let's Stay Together...So Tired Of Being Alone are just three Al Green songs that are far superior to any Blue Eyed Soul song written by the Bee Gees..it's for songs like these that Al Green will be remembered..yes this is a beautiful song but Al's own songs are a million times better.
@22v68 Yes and what year era were these released? the public have voted with their money and all of the tracks you mentioned were outsold by "blue eyed soul" songs such as How Deep Is Your Love, Too Much Heaven, Love So Right, and dozens more! To reiterate without this particular Bee Gees song...we would not be having this conversation. It has revived Al Greens career,,,its as simple as that, the last hits he enjoyed were in the 70s
@22v68 I cannot see any Elvis, Joplin,Buble, Steisand,Diana Ross, Dione Warwick,Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton or hundreds of other major artists covering Al Green songs, no doubt there are plent of covers but please, the Bee Gees are such prolific songwriters,producers,singers, there is no contest here. Al Greens talent is not in question...but the comparison is ludicrous
@Orky 210...you say without this song Al Green would be forgotten...HA!
This is by far not near Al's signature song...I've been a Bee Gees fan for along time...But every one has their opinion on what their ears like to hear..Anytime you have to try to DIm someone elses light to make yours shine theres a problem...AL Green and The Bees Gees are very different styles...Just Like Taveras verison of "More Than A Woman"...
@marcomoss1979 Perhaps you can share with me the last top ten record that Al Green had in either the US or the UK...its not a case of stacking the Bee Gees against Al Green, I am merely quoting the facts! The Bee Gees get very little credit for their tremendous achievements, I like to see fair play, do you have a problem with that?
All You UK Mother Fuckers Are Alive Only Because The USA Saved Your Wanker ASSES After WW2. You Stupid Fucks Dont Have BALLS. God Bless The USA!!! We Are The Heroes.
ATTENTION ALL YOU BITCHES. THE BEE GEES WOULDNT BE SHIT IF IT WASNT FOR THE USA! We Here In The USA MAKE The Very BEST Of The BEST. The USA Makes The World Go Round. Remember That BITCHES!!!
I love this song...there different in many ways...the Bees gees version is more of a family, school play version....Al Green is a strong version from a Man who lost his Love
@marcomoss1979 Every song Al Green sings sounds the same to me, he lacks the diversity of the original by the Bee Gees, they sing it like a heartbreak song, they ask the question, Al just sings it like any other song. The Gibbs vocals are beyond parity and that is why they remain one of the top selling songwriters and bands in history...had it not been for this particular song used on in various films Al Green would have been virtually forgotten.
ok the beegees are awesome to but you have to give it to the master Al Green he nailed that song

I heard both versions when they first came out....IMO they are BOTH great....People, it's OK if you don't like one or the other because it's not your preference, it's OK to have different tastes in music!! No one performer can please everybody!! Just enjoy whichever version you like(or both!!).

Your ballad, my ode to a t.v. classic...LOL!!! Look since their is more than one, it makes it a version. An original, but still the Bee Gees version...And the argument on here is not the legacy of the Bee Gees. I must have hit a soft spot with the bluegrass comment that made you ignore my entire statement. The Bee Gees style of music has been counted out by the industry, but Soul music is still here, so the impact of Al Green has lasted longer, one could argue. Both are monumental.

if one was the type of audiophile that enjoyed a group (or band) that has harmony down to an exact science, such as the bee gees do here, then you would truly enjoy this song for the incredible experience that it is. Like i do. but thats just my humble opinion. I also enjoy Frank Sinatra so what do i know right?

This version has none of the vocal dynamics of the Al Green version. This version sounds more like an intro to the Grizzly Adams t.v. series, than the LOVE ballad version presented by Mr. Al Green.This version is more bluegrass than soul. Both are good versions, but totally different. ... It just depends on the type of music you like. Fans of Country music will probably like this one more, as fans of soul music will favor the other. NO REASON FOR ANYONE TO HATE...Stating the FACTS
MrYoubtubin 2 months ago
@MrYoubtubin This is not a version! this is the original! this was a massive hit on its own merits, it did not need the help of any films past or present. As for the comment about it being similar to bluegrass, that is ludicrous! it is a ballad..plain and simple.....another Bee Gees classic, as singer songwriters they are beyond parity.

Sorry couldn't reply at work...so where were we? Oh ye.. I was gonna say that although I love the Bee Gees I'm not sure what their unique sound is..all I hear is their version of black soul music or their version of Beatles music...it begs the question how could they not be successful when all the hard work has already been done for them by the Beatles in the 60s and the blacks in the 60s and 70s..all they had to do was copy.
22v68 2 months ago
@22v68 Everybody is influenced by other artists, all bands admit to that fact...the Beatles, the Stones and the Bee Gees state what artist or song or sound made an impact on them, that does not mean that they cannot surpass that particular band or singer. What makes the Bee Gees so unique is their diversity, to have a huge country song out like Islands In The Stream and a mowtown song Chain Reaction out within a few months of each other is incredible. That is what is so special about them.

I never said Al Green was as popular as the Bee Gees, I know his career was very short, I think he only sold 25 millions records but fior lovers of black soul music from the 70s Al Green is a legend...this song by the Bee Gees is a foot note in Al Greens career...Blue Eyed Soul is a poor imitation of authentic black soul music, the fact that it's popular with the White people who buy it doesn't change that.
22v68 2 months ago
@22v68 Actually...if you scour you tube as you always seem to do...feeding from other peoples conversations, you will find that they were just as popular with black people, in fact the ratio was quoted as 50/50 at one time. In future you may wish to use the whole of the cerebrum instead of the minute part your thoughts occupy.

Love And Happiness...Let's Stay Together...So Tired Of Being Alone are just three Al Green songs that are far superior to any Blue Eyed Soul song written by the Bee Gees..it's for songs like these that Al Green will be remembered..yes this is a beautiful song but Al's own songs are a million times better.
22v68 2 months ago
@22v68 Yes and what year era were these released? the public have voted with their money and all of the tracks you mentioned were outsold by "blue eyed soul" songs such as How Deep Is Your Love, Too Much Heaven, Love So Right, and dozens more! To reiterate without this particular Bee Gees song...we would not be having this conversation. It has revived Al Greens career,,,its as simple as that, the last hits he enjoyed were in the 70s

@22v68 I cannot see any Elvis, Joplin,Buble, Steisand,Diana Ross, Dione Warwick,Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton or hundreds of other major artists covering Al Green songs, no doubt there are plent of covers but please, the Bee Gees are such prolific songwriters,producers,singers, there is no contest here. Al Greens talent is not in question...but the comparison is ludicrous

This is by far not near Al's signature song...I've been a Bee Gees fan for along time...But every one has their opinion on what their ears like to hear..Anytime you have to try to DIm someone elses light to make yours shine theres a problem...AL Green and The Bees Gees are very different styles...Just Like Taveras verison of "More Than A Woman"...

@marcomoss1979 Perhaps you can share with me the last top ten record that Al Green had in either the US or the UK...its not a case of stacking the Bee Gees against Al Green, I am merely quoting the facts! The Bee Gees get very little credit for their tremendous achievements, I like to see fair play, do you have a problem with that?

@marcomoss1979 Every song Al Green sings sounds the same to me, he lacks the diversity of the original by the Bee Gees, they sing it like a heartbreak song, they ask the question, Al just sings it like any other song. The Gibbs vocals are beyond parity and that is why they remain one of the top selling songwriters and bands in history...had it not been for this particular song used on in various films Al Green would have been virtually forgotten.
