The Bee Gees sound like a broken heart was a great thing to have, all tra-la-la and junk...nah, fam. Rev AL (Green, that is) wins this heartily. This really wasn’t even close to me.
I read somewhere that Barry Gibb said in an interview that Al Green did the best version. I usually like the original version but this is hands down Al Green. In fact, it's number one on my gas station playlist.
Sir Al Green 😘. No one else can give that type of emotion through his arrangements. He's a pure genius 😉. Everyone continue to stay safe, and blessed. Much love from Philadelphia. 🍻💙
Meeeee tooooo🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣....but I never could stand The Bee Gees anyway. Truth be told, back in the day, I really didn’t like Al either, but I’ve evolved (I guess-still cannot stand those whiny beegees, I’m sure that will never change🤷🏾♀️)
The Bee Gees' version, with their excellent harmonies, is a very good Pop version, of Al Green's version, which is ladened with pure unadulterated Soul...
Me and bro Al Green have the same birthday so he gets extra points from me along with his outstanding musical talent 🥰❤️🖤💚 then there are the Bee Gees( brother Gibbs) I'm a real my fan that's why I knew what Bee Gees stood for 😊 they are my brothers from another mother 😊 they represented well but brother Al being a one man show showed out in a big way and if I'm not mistaking it's his song and his awesome signature is all over this song 🥰❤️🖤💚#I love everybody and I'm very fond of music 🥰❤️🖤💚
Al Green's poignant soulful arrangement does it for me everytime👏🙌 This was during a period of the 70s when the Bee Gees would release a song, and then shortly after an R&B act would release a new cover version. It was the same way when Pat Boone and Elvis copied Little Richard in the 50s, but in reverse. 😂 I still love the Bee Gees and Rev Al Green. Great music will live forever. 🎤🎶🎵
The Bee Gees were born into a poor family that clung together through rough times. Their circumstances as youngsters came through their writing their entire lives; Barry Gibb (the sole surviving brother) said in an interview that black soul music was the epitome, the most important music, the music that brought their mutual feelings out. It's not surprising that what they wrote was picked up and covered so well by artists who were steeped in the genre they admired most.
Now you know who did this song better with all that soul flowing through the air coming from Al Green, can listen to this all day and not be tired of it thanks for sharing
Props must go to Barry and Robin Gibb for writing such a beautiful heartfelt song..but have to say Al Green gave this song the "soulful gravitas" those lyrics really needed. My man Al!..
I think I selectively forgot he didn't write it. I have to stop myself from crying almost every time I hear him sing this. The emotion, frustration, the pain. And the winner is, the GOAT, Rev Green.
Al to the Green hunny. I have to say I felt it even the music of Al Green seems like the sounds of the instruments sang to ur soul. When Al sings " HOW CAN U MEND A BROKEN HEART HOW CAN Y STOP THE RAIN FROM FALLING DOWN". U can feel his every week word. U can feel his words it's as if he's in a room and a friend came to check on him n he's REALLY asking HOW, HOW HOW !!!!! Then he says " What makes the world go around!!!!". Then when he says LA LA LA LA LA. Omg!!! As an adult who hasn't been heart broken???? It's as if his song was a broken heart for me. That's wat I heard. The BeeGees did their thing but Al Green turn it down.
I liked both. For me Al Green for the soul he put in it. I love both artists. Bee Gees for their Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack and Al Green for his hits especially Let's Stay Together. 😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍💕💕💕💕
Their version sounds like they're telling a friend about the love of their life who left. Al sounds like he's laying it all on the line and is begging his woman for one more chance.
Al Green all the way, one of the best covers I've ever heard... I didn't even know this was a Bee Gees song for a long time, their version is alright but they have a bunch of better songs
To be honest Al Green doesn’t even have to sing a word to win this...that organ’s first few chords wins it for him. After reading the comments this is almost a laughable comparison. Al’s arrangement...the horns, the organ, the violins and EVEN the background singers are better. Al Greens’ voice is just the cherry on top of this version🍒by the way I love The Bee Gees just not this song by them.
That Book of Eli scene with Al's version. Perfect pairing. 🖤😑 The Bee-Gees' version is from the time in their career before they found their groove & started kicking ass.
The Bee Gees were always hauntingly soulful in the writing, but yes, the execution turned to more R&B instead of pop in the late 1970s, 20 years into their recording career. They went all the way (in my opinion) with "Stayin' Alive."
Al is the winner. 1) Al's version is what you listen to when you broke up with somebody you REALLY love 2) The Bee Gees version is for when you had a disappointing moment in your life..... your date stood you up, you met a person you like but didn't love.
You really feel the emotion in Al Green's voice, the guitar, the strings and ESPECIALLY that organ all serve to draw the listener in. Simply Beautiful is MY FAVORITE and this is a definite close runner up! ❤ Al Green's version of this.
90% of the time, I like the original better than the remake But wow, Al Green's version is so beautiful, it's more like a step in evolution than a remake
I don't know but I would have to say the Bee Gees 💕💓 . but Al was a great artist to. Guess who's birthday was the 7th? Me feels good to see another year . hearing this was a great 🌙 goodnight all and peace and blessings😇
I grew up listening to both versions and never compared them, I believe Al Green God rest his soul knew how to express the true meaning of the words from living life, the Bee-Gees were paid actors!
I really love music and love both Al green and the Berger's, how I wish all of the Berger's were still living, I feel so sad for Barry the remaining one left, I liked all of there songs Maurice was my favorite, but I guess Barry is now, but this song I have to be honest Al green put it to the test and won,, I think maybe even the Berger's would agree, don't think anyone out there can do this song better than Al in all honesty, at least I have not heard it. As a matter of fact I have not heard anyone else sing it. But Al hands down, everything I have heard Al doing sounds good.but there are a lot of bee gees music I like. But Al got this one.
Al Green got this all day!!😍 I used to play Al Greens version back in early 90’s when i attended college! Aaaaah, those days! 😍😍😍 All those Super Fine Honeyz on campus! I was a child in a candy store!😂 ( Note: I did have a girlfriend at the time. I was in my early 20’s and she was in her 40’s)
Same with "I Will Always Love You" so many people are unaware of the fact that Dolly Parton wrote that song and sang it in the movie The Best Little Whore House in Texas. They think of it only as a Whitney Houston song, I think even Dolly said she loved Whitney's version, especially the millions in royalties she makes off it. But teh two versions are nothing alike as one is done as a country song and the other is totally a soulful R&B
I love the Bee Gees but this is an unfair competition!!! I didn't even remember the BGs sang that song. Al brought soooooo !!!!! Much more romance and love and class and, and, and, look I just loooove!!!! Me some Al Green he just stands alone. Especially shirt off and sweaty oh laawd I'll stop 😂😂😂😂 . Al Green all the time 🤦♀️
I love Al Green's version, because he's singing alone, more heartfelt.
Al Green cause you can hear the soul in his voice
Agreed ❤
Al Green. It will move you to tears.
Al Green did it better. You can tell that he's singing from his soul, making you feel all of the emotions of a broken heart. 💔😢 Sang tha song sir!!! 💕
I don't even have to listen to Al Green I love song element singing the wrong song
This is a complete one-sided competition AL GREEN all day everyday.
Tsunami..😂💯😂
Yeah but respect to the original for writing the lyrics
Mac Mac ... Nuff Said ! Being honest it's not fair because Nobody can hang with Al Green !
Hands down
@@daniela6426 Not even close 😅😂 !
Al Green all day long
EVERYDAY 💯
AGREE!!! No more to be said!!!!
The Bee Gees sound like a broken heart was a great thing to have, all tra-la-la and junk...nah, fam. Rev AL (Green, that is) wins this heartily. This really wasn’t even close to me.
Real Facts!
I read somewhere that Barry Gibb said in an interview that Al Green did the best version. I usually like the original version but this is hands down Al Green. In fact, it's number one on my gas station playlist.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sir Al Green 😘. No one else can give that type of emotion through his arrangements. He's a pure genius 😉. Everyone continue to stay safe, and blessed. Much love from Philadelphia.
🍻💙
No comparison. Reverend Al Green. He sold the lyric and sentiment.
Rev al green course he put his heart and soul in this song ok I love the bee gee but al green all day for me
Al Green hands down. It's the Bee Gees song, Al Green's version, it's just a more soulful interpretation.
*Had to fast forward real quick
Reverend Al Green by a landslide
Landslide.. 💯💯💯
That part
LMAO
Meeeee tooooo🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣....but I never could stand The Bee Gees anyway. Truth be told, back in the day, I really didn’t like Al either, but I’ve evolved (I guess-still cannot stand those whiny beegees, I’m sure that will never change🤷🏾♀️)
🙋🏽♀️ as did I😂🤣🙉!
Al Green. He sung with pain, feeling, and put his heart into it. No Contest.
The Bee Gees' version, with their excellent harmonies, is a very good Pop version, of Al Green's version, which is ladened with pure unadulterated Soul...
Me and bro Al Green have the same birthday so he gets extra points from me along with his outstanding musical talent 🥰❤️🖤💚 then there are the Bee Gees( brother Gibbs) I'm a real my fan that's why I knew what Bee Gees stood for 😊 they are my brothers from another mother 😊 they represented well but brother Al being a one man show showed out in a big way and if I'm not mistaking it's his song and his awesome signature is all over this song 🥰❤️🖤💚#I love everybody and I'm very fond of music 🥰❤️🖤💚

Al Green all day , everyday. I'm still playing his music. Music like his and the other ole school is priceless 💯
Now you know who did this song better with all that soul flowing through the air coming from Al Green, can listen to this all day and not be tired of it thanks for sharing
The Right Reverend Of All That Is Soulful... Al Green
Oh come on im white n Al green had babies named after him.
You know that's right 😉
You to much lmao
🤣🤣🤣No you didnt😁😁😁
😂😂😂
bill cur definitely won post of the day!
Rev Al Green🙌🏿 hands up, straight up Classic, One of I all time favourites .. Bee Gees can't even compare on this track..
I like the Bee Gee's when they did disco,(Saturday Night Fever) all day, but Al Green is way better on this song. Al has the soul.
I normally will ride with the original version BUT...Al Green owns this song from the opening note.
I just fast forward it to Al Greens version which happens to be one of my favorite songs. Takes me back to the basement parties😉
I love the Bee Gees, but they sound like a parody compared to Al Green in this song. Barry should have led.
True... Barry should have led that one... 🤔
TheBrabon1 Yeah they did but their version is awful, period..
Al Green hands down I love the Bee Gees but this song was made for Al Green he mastered this song.
AL all-day long ,he just put so much soul in this song
Al green that's a no brainer🤯 I like the bee gees but the crown goes to Al he sung that from his soul to the heavy gates 👍"
Uh..........let......me......
TINK.
.......🙆
Sir Al G R E E N.💁 💞💕💞💕
Props must go to Barry and Robin Gibb for writing such a beautiful heartfelt song..but have to say Al Green gave this song the "soulful gravitas" those lyrics really needed.
My man Al!..
Never a fan of bee gees pre Saturday Night Fever and wasn't a fan post Saturday Night Fever.
Al Green!!!!!!! Winner takes all.
Take ya time, Passa Green !
7/7/2020
Love the Bee Gees and their harmony But AL was singing from a very special place that took you there 🤔
AL Green puts the spotlight Soul R&B on the song 🎶 from the beginning I’m riding with the Green sound soul brother 👦🏾
AL GREEN
Bee Gees are talented mo fo's but Al Green knocked this out the park!
I like the Bee Gees, but I'm going with Al on this one.
How deep is your love by bee gees is my favorite but on this song is understandably one of many Al green songs hands down
I give the Bee Gees props for adding this master piece to their collection. Nobody will ever do it better than the Rev Al Green.
Bee Gees is the original. Al greatly improved it. Besides shouldn't be a competition. Both are masters in their own genre.
If u going thru it Al Green embodys this song. N any adult thats been thru a broken heart can hear the Rev. Al Green. Loud n clear
Al Green. got my vote, the Bee Gees. Okay.🥰💔💔🧵🎤🏌🏿♀️🙎🏿♀️🙍🏾♀️💯🔥
Al Green of course!!
I think I selectively forgot he didn't write it. I have to stop myself from crying almost every time I hear him sing this. The emotion, frustration, the pain. And the winner is, the GOAT, Rev Green.
💯
THE GOAT INDEED!!!!
Al Green hands down... Although I like the Bee Gees version... Al Green wins this one.
I LOVE BOTH RENDITIONS.. SOUL ..in different styles
Al to the Green hunny. I have to say I felt it even the music of Al Green seems like the sounds of the instruments sang to ur soul. When Al sings " HOW CAN U MEND A BROKEN HEART HOW CAN Y STOP THE RAIN FROM FALLING DOWN". U can feel his every week word. U can feel his words it's as if he's in a room and a friend came to check on him n he's REALLY asking HOW, HOW HOW !!!!! Then he says " What makes the world go around!!!!". Then when he says LA LA LA LA LA. Omg!!! As an adult who hasn't been heart broken???? It's as if his song was a broken heart for me. That's wat I heard. The BeeGees did
their thing but Al Green turn it down.
I love the Bee Gee's but not as much as Al Green and his version is way more meaningful
C'MON!!! SANG IT AL!!l 💜💜💜
Ditto
I liked both. For me Al Green for the soul he put in it. I love both artists. Bee Gees for their Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack and Al Green for his hits especially Let's Stay Together. 😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍💕💕💕💕
No matter if you black or white, I love both versions it brings me memories in my heart and soul😎
Their version sounds like they're telling a friend about the love of their life who left. Al sounds like he's laying it all on the line and is begging his woman for one more chance.
Al Green all the way, one of the best covers I've ever heard... I didn't even know this was a Bee Gees song for a long time, their version is alright but they have a bunch of better songs
I grew up with Al Green's version and had no idea The Bee Gee's wrote it at that time, Al Green version is the best period.
Let's stop. Al Green all day
Both versions were perfect for the time in which it was released. No losers here. 💞
To be honest Al Green doesn’t even have to sing a word to win this...that organ’s first few chords wins it for him. After reading the comments this is almost a laughable comparison. Al’s arrangement...the horns, the organ, the violins and EVEN the background singers are better. Al Greens’ voice is just the cherry on top of this version🍒by the way I love The Bee Gees just not this song by them.
Come on now..... AG forces you to FEEL that broken heart 💔. Love me some 70’s Al Green 💙♥️💙
AL GREEN. Soulful. Sings as if he were actually grieving about his heart being broken.
Al Green no doubt about it!
That Book of Eli scene with Al's version. Perfect pairing. 🖤😑
The Bee-Gees' version is from the time in their career before they found their groove & started kicking ass.
Exactly! This was pre disco. That Saturday Night Fever soundtrack is still a monster.💯
The Bee Gees were always hauntingly soulful in the writing, but yes, the execution turned to more R&B instead of pop in the late 1970s, 20 years into their recording career. They went all the way (in my opinion) with "Stayin' Alive."

Al Green the Bee Gee's did nothing for this song but I still LOVE THEM
Both versions are great!🤔
Rev Al for the win!! Heartfelt from start to finish!!
Two different styles.. Both are great
Yes.
That part
One is better....
Al. 🥰
❤ Al Green this song makes me cry ❤😪
Of course The Reverend Al Green.
I liked both versions
You really feel the emotion in Al Green's voice, the guitar, the strings and ESPECIALLY that organ all serve to draw the listener in. Simply Beautiful is MY FAVORITE and this is a definite close runner up! ❤ Al Green's version of this.
Al Green!!! 💯
90% of the time, I like the original better than the remake
But wow, Al Green's version is so beautiful, it's more like a step in evolution than a remake
💯 Al Green
Al green all the way
Brother Al Green
Al Green is the Man.. 4 sure ❣️
Al Green! Beautiful version!
It's like comparing apples to oranges. Both are great, just different. Great vid.
Lol 😂 🤣 🤣 the Bee Gee's Go hard but this is AL Greens all day..!!!
Al green all day
I don't know but I would have to say the Bee Gees 💕💓 . but Al was a great artist to. Guess who's birthday was the 7th? Me feels good to see another year . hearing this was a great 🌙 goodnight all and peace and blessings😇
LoL, come on 😂😂😂, the Bee Gees are good, but they can't touch that soulful sound All Green putting down.
I love both.
Al Green all day!
But Bee Gees have songs I really like too.
Duh Al Green this is not even debatable..you joking.right 🤣😂😂
Al Green !
I grew up listening to both versions and never compared them, I believe Al Green God rest his soul knew how to express the true meaning of the words from living life, the Bee-Gees were paid actors!
Al Green, hands down the best
I went to sleep on The Bee Gees version..Al sung this song from his gut, soulful and funky.
Al!!! He got me through a terrible heartbreak😩
No competition AL GREEN FREAKED THAT REMAKE HANDS DOWN...BEE GEES TAKE A FEW SEATS LA LA LA LA LA LAAA
I really love music and love both Al green and the Berger's, how I wish all of the Berger's were still living, I feel so sad for Barry the remaining one left, I liked all of there songs Maurice was my favorite, but I guess Barry is now, but this song I have to be honest Al green put it to the test and won,, I think maybe even the Berger's would agree, don't think anyone out there can do this song better than Al in all honesty, at least I have not heard it. As a matter of fact I have not heard anyone else sing it. But Al hands down, everything I have heard Al doing sounds good.but there are a lot of bee gees music I like. But Al got this one.
AL Green version just get to the soul as soon as he starts, it's also a little sexy.
Al Green got this all day!!😍 I used to play Al Greens version back in early 90’s when i attended college! Aaaaah, those days! 😍😍😍 All those Super Fine Honeyz on campus! I was a child in a candy store!😂 ( Note: I did have a girlfriend at the time. I was in my early 20’s and she was in her 40’s)
Al Green just KILLS IT!
You are a true artist when you can take a song some one else wrote, and make it your own! That’s what Rev did!
Same with "I Will Always Love You" so many people are unaware of the fact that Dolly Parton wrote that song and sang it in the movie The Best Little Whore House in Texas. They think of it only as a Whitney Houston song, I think even Dolly said she loved Whitney's version, especially the millions in royalties she makes off it. But teh two versions are nothing alike as one is done as a country song and the other is totally a soulful R&B
The fact that you have pitted 3 voices against 1 says it all. A case where less is more
I love the Bee Gees but this is an unfair competition!!! I didn't even remember the BGs sang that song. Al brought soooooo !!!!! Much more romance and love and class and, and, and, look I just loooove!!!! Me some Al Green he just stands alone. Especially shirt off and sweaty oh laawd I'll stop 😂😂😂😂 . Al Green all the time 🤦♀️
Al Green version reminds me of home. 🙂✊🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Al Green's version is the best ! It's not fair to compare anyone's voice to the greatest soul singer of all time hands down !
Definitely Al Green
