i was born in 1986 and remeber growing up in the streets of Mcgregor Tx listening to Al Green he was my favorite then and still to this day. Wowww he is awesome..He is an orignal period. If i had the chance to sing like anyone in the world it would clearly be Al Green.
u just watch the most incredible singer perform this song and u want to know what guitar effect hes using? its called plugging any guitar into any amp and sounding great cuz ur al green
Al Green is singin the absolute sh*t outta this song...I've been listening to this for the last 30 mins or so. The great Sam Cooke filtered thru the great Al Green, beautiful lyrics and melody, and an outstanding delivery...who could ask for more?
Man, this is why I love youtube. You really get to see how talented old school artists like Al Green were. I never knew Al Green could play the guitar or/and sing at the same time. Al Green was and is phenominal. To be able to see these youtube videos of the 1950-1990's artist is a blessing. After that, the music world really went down, down, and downer downer HILL!
part of the dvd "the gospel according to al green" had the pleasure of witnessing him live 2 times! this song just brings tears to my eyes.the only man alive that made me say 'hallelujah' out loud! love is the key people :)
@PREZ150 True enough, but historically, the best soul singers typically do. I only made the comment to correct you about your comment that "all sweet soul singers come from the Sam Cook School." Sam Cook got his training in Church as did the many before him and the many after him, and the many yet to come.
@bluffcitybopper No, it isn't. What Am I Going To Do With Myself is a totally different song, this song is performed twice on the Gospel According To Al Green DVD and the title is I Love You.
@fpadilla671 please no.. it needs to be a real singer/musician.. like Jamie did with ray.. the church is still full of young dudes that can follow al's musical sensibility..
pretty sure its just an improv kinda thing. i could be wrong.... but i know every al green song ever recorded haha.. and i havent heard this by him except for on this dvd
Great song!! I'm going to learn this one, TNX for posting, Al Green just has an amazing voice, although now he and his voice is getting a bit older ;), this song is excellent.
This performance is a real gem; just Al singing with a guitar some unknown song, or, just creating one on the fly. It reminds me of an unlisted track of Sam Cooke's - a 'demo' of 'I Don't Want To Cry' from his early pop career; just singing out of pure joy and in service to the song.
I got to see this performance. Sam is one of my all-time favorites. If anyone out there has it, upload or find someone who's got it and get it out there.
Sam Cooke creating on the fly? Cmon, people, we must get on top of this.
Al Green formidable!
