    Another great soul singer. Al Green had a lot of great songs in the 70's including "Take Me To The River", "Tired Of Being Alone", "I'm Still In Love With You", "Love & Happiness", "Let's Stay Together" etc. He also became a pastor after facing a tragedy in his life (girlfriend's suicide) & performed gospel music for a time.

    I can’t help but to think about my late mother when I hear Al Greene. She loved him and played those albums all the time. “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart” was my favorite. Al is a true legend and R&B icon. His music is used in so many movies til this day.

      ‘How Can You Mend a Broken Heart’ was my favorite song.I was 8 years old turning 9 in a few months. I spent the Summer in Baltimore at my aunt’s house and all I did was listen to the radio and play records. This song was on repeat along with Aretha Franklin’s ‘Daydreaming’

    The Reverend takes you to church. When my girlfriends and me were getting ready to go clubbing (took hours) we always played Al's greatest hits album, Isaac Hayes and Percy Sledge. We were soul sisters and we were ready to go out and dance the night away (underage at the beginning). We didn't go to meet guys, or get drunk; we went to DANCE and boy did we.
    Al will always hit that sweet spot guys, cannot be avoided.
    Oh this was in the mid 70s when we were 15 but looked 18 hah!

    "How can you mend a broken heart" by Al Green is a good tune you ought to try next. It's in the movie "Knotting Hill", starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts. The whole soundtrack to the movie is quite something. "She" by Elvis Costello is another great tune from the same movie 🎬.

    This song was written by Kris Kristoferson and has been done by many people. The most definitive and successful version of this song was done by Ray Price in 1970. This version was a massive hit and, although Ray Price was a country singer, his version was a major crossover success. The Ray Price version elicits such pure feeling from the listener, and you can't help but be moved. Check out Ray Price's version, you won't be sorry.

    Gosh amighty, Al Green made women forget who they came with to the concert. That's Memphis area where he lived and I think he was born in Arkansas. That's bellyrubbing/slowdancing music right there.As a southerner I can only go six months without hearing from two people and that's Al Green and Elvis.
