Al Green - Let's Stay Together (Uncut Stereo Original)

Al was born in Arkansas and started singing gospel music at a young age. His musical influences, particularly Jackie Wilson, were mostly R&B so when he gravitated in that direction it was no surprise to his family. "Let's Stay Together" was his second chart single following "Tired Of Being Alone", and this recording set the standard for Rhythm and Blues for most of the decade of the 1970's. The song peaked at #1 in December of 1971 and has remained Al's signature song even though an unfortunate incident involving the suicide of a girlfriend in 1974 turned him back to his gospel roots with his even becoming an ordained pastor in the process.

Al Green, another one of those greats singers letting his soul show through his voice. His voice is "Simply Beautiful."  It makes one want to "Put A Little Love In Your Heart," and sing "Sha La La" or to tell an old friend to "Call Me," tell a wife, "I'm So Glad Your Mine," and to "Lets Stay Together," "For The Good Times," to tell a struggling child that, "Everything Is Going To Be Alright," or if your single, to tell a "Pretty Woman," that, "Here I Am" and "You Ought To Be With Me." Thats Al.
