    My mom had this album,
    she loved her some Al green.
    we were so young back then, I
    dont remember much.
    but we never understood why she would play this song over and over again all day long ... i was about 6 yrs old
    at the time,
    i guess now i understand why.
    my mom did a great job raising 3 boys and my sister , my
    dad was always at work
    They made sure
    we wanted for nothing.
    and yep
    we watched her go without so we could have! .
    but we all made it out an doin fine.
    Now
    with families of our own ,
    she would be so proud.. and i know she is.
    man..
    when ya think about how it use to be
    compared to how it is now, u cant help but cry.
    Such good times back then.
    the 70s was so much fun!
    an the best decade to be alive in.
    an so many good friends too
    hard to find theses days!
    and tho most are gone now
    the memories still remain.
    lol my dad would always loose his car keys
    yellin where my dam keys!
    my mom would say did u check ya shirt pocket mr..
    and yep, there they were
    then my dad would say
    one of these days....one of theses days
    my mom would say and,
    what u gonna do!
    my dad would just smile and say, i'm gonna love u more today then i did yesterday…
    momma would say u better take yo ass to work!
    my mom had a infectious laugh that would light up a room!!
    we would laugh so hard
    so much fun back then.
    And you were right momma,
    people ain’t no dam good ,
    and as i type this with tears in my eyes
    having sooo many good memories growing up with my mom in the 70's
    as long as u can still feel them
    mom and dad!!
    no one truly dies.
    and i feel them both..everyday.
    I’m
    not gonna lie tho ,
    i have my moments
    sad moments...missing them both.
    so much has happend, many good things!
    i wish
    I could share with them.
    im sure they know
    but its still not the same.
    wow amazing..!
    im a grown successful man
    and yet
    I find myself still
    wanting my mom
    just a hug ..
    or just to lay my head on her shoulder
    she would always tell us hey!!
    you guys better get it together cuz im not gonna live for ever!!
    ok mom we get it!
    just didnt think it would be so hard!
    without you.
    We miss u guys.

    At age 61 now, I grew up listening to this music from my parents. This music has been the fabric of my whole existence. My parents are no longer here with us but listening to this music around the kitchen table, or outside in the backyard barbecuing with my dad. This music takes me to a special place deep within. A lot of these song called special meaning about my parents the love they had for one another. My children and my grandchildren our experiencing what I experienced growing up listening to this particular type of music. The legacy still lives on in black families who grew up into appreciate the real meaning of urban music.❤

    There is a sacred, usually secret place, within the male heart, which needs to cry, but rarely has permission to do so, while still maintaining his manhood. Al Green, in his art, grants that permission. In so doing, he offers healing, safety and catharsis to the hurting heart. Prayers.

      no doubt and both are remakes. But in Al's and Willie Mitchell's hands they blowout the originals. Sort like Ike and Tina's Proud Mary, The Isley's Brothers Summer Breeze, and Jimi Hendrix's All along the watchtower. When we get hold of the originals we really put them to shame with our own interpretation!!!!

    My mother passed when i was a teen, im about to turn 68 next month. In my family as a teen i loved Al Green music. I would buy all of his albums and my mother became a fan of Al Green music too. She would always ask to play my Al Green records. And when i brought that Al Green Living For You album, she fell in love with that one song on it called, For The Good Times. That's the only song on that record she would play over and over again. You know, because of that one song on that album, i never got that particular Al Green album back from her, like i did all the others. I brought me another one in that era, but have since upgraded my collection of all my old Al Green songs to this era of downloading music or watching my favorites sing, dance and perform live from back in the days on UA-cam
    To me, Al Green's old songs are his best and most cherished that i still enjoy listening .. 👍 👌 💛
