Don't know the guitar player.

The most famous person on that stage was Darlene Love, back there in the shadows, singing with The Blossoms, the Shindig house girl group.

AL GREEN-TAKE ME TO THE RIVER. LIVE 1975

AL GREEN

misclasicos • 50,667 views

georgethedj commented:

According to my Joel Whitburn Billboard books, even though he wrote it, AL GREEN NEVER HAD A TOP 100 HIT WITH THIS SONG.

The hit was by SYL JOHNSON, and it went to #75 R&B and #48 Pop, in 1975.

Talking Heads went to #26 in 1979.

georgethedj commented:

Nocaro, I love what you do. Here, I must offer a different opinion. This stereo version of this song is NOT the hit version. The piano part at :38 tells the difference. Here, it sounds like a hurried afterthought, beginning on the up part of the second beat in the measure. On the hit version on t...

@wynonie Right you are! THIS is the version that was on the radio, and on the charts. It's easy to tell the difference, from the first little piano part. What you hear here is correct. THIS IS THE HIT!

I don't know the personnel or producers on either one, except that Clarence Carter is playing a few guitar licks on his version. In the Etta James version, I can hear that Muscle Shoal...

Good tune! I'm playing the guitar on this record.

Recorded at Boutwell Studios in English Village, Birmingham, Alabama in 1969. A Platters tune.

This was the "plug" side. See the "star"?

It's interesting that this is tagged "Northern Soul". In 1969, nobody knew what that would become.
