I remember cranking up the volume when Al Green was on the radio. 1969. 1970. 1971. 1972. 1973. Munich Germany. He was much loved in Vietnam. Thank you for your gift from God. 🎉❤. I am a richer person having known your songs.
i might get the hate but I feel that Al's style is so unique and wonderful that it's hard to find someone to sing his songs in their own way and bring that fire
Where's the love button on this comment because you absolutely nailed it! Al Green's music had so much depth and beauty to it...still does actually. I wish music could go back to this.
EWT, Jennifer, Usher and Mavis doing some Al Green for the POTUS of all time!! I love how the Kennedy center celebrates all the musical treasures of our world.
I am so grateful to the folks who upload these videos of the Kennedy Center Honors. They are always so tremendously moving. Magnificent angel Al Green!
1973 sitting in typing class I heard someone behind me singing this song(let's stay together). I turned around and it was this gorgeous light chocolate boy with a soft fro and green eyes. I think he was singing to me. Nothing ever happened but that was my song forever more. Today 2024, my 3 cchildren and I sing that together as loud as we can. Love you forever Al
I enjoy these Kennedy center honors. It is a privilege to live in an era when we were had such beautiful music and to see the generation who grew up with these legendary artist perform and honour them. Can’t imagine the joy of these performers who perform for the honourees
I fell in love with Rev Al because my momma had him on repeat, when we cleaned the house on saturday. Then I fell in love with his soulful vocals on my own. Rev Al was loving Jennifer singing, because she captured the sheer essence of the song, Simply Beautiful.
My first true introduction to Al Green came around '72, '73. I was 12 or so and Al was one of my Dad's favorites. He, my mother and I had just gotten into the car for a four-hour drive to North Myrtle Beach. Daddy pushed Al's latest into the 8-track cassette player, and that's where it stayed for the entirety of the trip. "Are we going to have to listen to this for four hours?" I asked myself. But by the time we got to the beach, I was a bigger fan than my father.
Brings back lots of memories for me too. I lived at Myrtle Beach every summer. All the beach music and radio on the beach. Graduated HS in 1974 so we had the best music ever growing up. Than you for helping me remember those sweet times. ❤
Al Green was the first concert I’ve ever saw I still remember him handing out red roses and I was able to get one. Once he began singing gospel music he never look back I heard it was a terrible fight with a woman that threw a pot of hot grits on him made him change his ways he look deep inside of his self and said if I can make a woman that mad at me I’m doing something wrong and completely gave his life to God Hallelujah Amen
Literally sitting in my car about to lose my mind, thinking about my man. He passed 6 months ago. God please fix my broken heart. Marlon I miss you so much
1973 a junior in high school, Al Green stole my heart ❤️ He has had ever since. Thank you Al Green for touching me so deeply and I still feel that touch Love you now and always 🙏🙏
I first heard Al Green on the radio when I was 13. I love everyone of his songs. I am enjoying watching this now, I am 66 and I still listen to Al Green today ❤️
I saw Al Green at the Monterey Jazz Festival about 15 years ago. He was the main headliner of the Sunday night SRO show. Every time he sang a song ( and he sang them all), the audience would take over and sing the entire song. He just stood there smiling and serenading and having a great time. We will never see the likes of that again! Bless you, Mr Green!
I have loved Al Green forever! Wonderful to see him honored. NO one could put as much emotion into his songs, with a breathless whisper or a gravelly growl. Thanks to him for filling so much of my life with his beautiful music.
Red, as a fan I want to ask you, from which track is that vocal from Al that starts at 1:40 ? I would REALLY like to know. For me, it's breathtaking. If you can tell me, I would be much obliged. Thanks already!
If you don't believe in GOD, you will believe when you hear the last song. I got chills and Goosebumps. Mavis Staples and Sam More bought down the House. I love you Reverend Al Green. Thank you for so many wonderful songs.
I wish Dana Owens would have song Simply Beautiful 😍😍 now she blew me away with her rendition of that song along with Al singing behind her. In Memphis this man is still an amazing man I love the Reverend Al Green his voice is just so awesome keep up the good work Pastor Green in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Hope Noneya we have to demand it and support it. This music was celebrating real love, breaking down barriers and uplifting the souls of all. Somebody didn't want that to happen
It is a business Hope. The bar has been lowered. Hip-Hop can produce better profits and create stars who are more disposable. That has ALWAYS been in the business of music anyway but over the years talent goes to the back of the bus while money is doing all the driving.
Hits! Beautiful, soulful Hits, every one of Al's songs. A beautiful honor for him. Baby, Jennifer Hudson was raised on Al's music to be able to perform it like that. So wonderful to see the big smile on Al's face. I do just like Whoopi on that intro to Love & Happiness.
I worked with Al, and as stated, He is phenomenal, and his GOD given talent is unprecedented! In other words, there is only one Al Green, and GOD knew there could only be ONE!
Sitting in a restaurant in Lisbon, Portugal and they're playing Al Green.He's loved worldwide because his voice and songs are simple in sentiment but DEEP in delivery and FEELING. In other words, he is a GREAT artist who touches people's souls.
Al greens smile brings so much joy to whomever sees it.It kinda reminds you of that one happy kid in the neighborhood.Always full of joy and seems to always wake up on the right side of the bed.
Al Green - I love- love when my brother give to me a tape - I not stop for play again and again and one day my tape is broken . I can said this is my favorite song no I can’t . Every single song is my love.. IN THE MUSIC HISTORY FOR ME the black people ARE THE BEST IN WHOLE WORLD What a voices ....::beatiful and sweet privileges
Jennifer Hudson blew me away, amazing voice and performance to think that Simon Cowell would not give her that win, I would have collapsed not Jen she got up and became a phenomenon. And then Usher aaaawh in awe that was incredible thanks for this love love love love it.
Al Green is so BELOVED! His very presence lights up anywhere he is! His music has endured the test of time and tantalizes and delights every ear that hears it! This has been such a wonderfully and fitting testiment to his God given talent, and to his humble spirit! Rev. Aln you are a God spend and a national treasure! Continue to be a blessing to us!
Jennifer Hudson gave the most soulful rendition of "Simply Beautiful"!! Her vocal riffs and range are wonderful. And I must also give credit to the incredible musical arrangement. Listen to the piano and the horn section. And the fantastic vocal back-up. Listening to this really affects me to my core. Very emotional! Simply Amazing!!
Anthony Mavis Staples received the Kennedy Center Honor this year 2016 from President Obama. It airs either tonight or tomorrow night I can't remember. I am so glued to the TV. BTW with the Eagles and James Taylor
Sang Jennifer!!! Simply beautiful! This tribute was simply, amazingly beautiful! Earth, Wind, & Fire played! Philip Bailey can still sing! So great to hear Mavis Staples again! And that choir! Wow! Whoppi was great! That video tribute was simply amazing! The whole tribute was amazing. A fitting tribute to a wonderful artist. So love Al Green. Great job, everyone!
I always loved Al Green and enjoy singing to his songs whenever I was alone in my car it is simply a wonderful experience to just lose yourself in the songs of Al Green.

The beautiful story of his life, is his reality, repentance and return to God!...it take a true man to pray and worship God! And the reality of fame and fortune will never compare to serving God!...I appreciate you music al green, but I respect you for your return to the Lord!,amen!...keep all who have heard your music ..
I love me some Al Green! I grew up listening to my Grandmother playing his music while she cleaned on Saturdays and prepped Sunday dinner...those were the days!
I've been a long long long long long long long long long long time fan of Al Green I am so glad that he got this honor and all of those that were performing did a phenomenal job I could listen to this on repeat over and over again all day long every day they were fantastic so is the band and the background singers just totally awesome every time I see this come up on my recommended when I log into my UA-cam I listen to this over and over again I do not know how many times I have And I just have to say Jennifer Hudson she sang that song ❤ 🎤🎶👍
His music defines my early childhood... When your dad and babysitter play his music constantly, well... you remember every word, inflection and musical note, 50 years later. I'm so glad to see him honored this way. Great performance....I was entranced by Jennifer tho....she killed it. I can't thank Al enough...and when he smiles, you know that this man has the joy of the Lord running thru his veins.
Jewel, as a fan I want to ask you, from which track is that vocal from Al that starts at 1:40 ? I would REALLY like to know. For me, it's breathtaking. If you can tell me, I would be much obliged. Thanks already!
You are correct, 50 years ago, 1973, I was in the Army and every “blood” in the barracks had an Al Green cassette tape and it was beautiful. By the time I got to Ft. Benning my bunk mate, Willie Davis, would put his tape in and sing right along and do his moves, that’s soul brother!!!
Henry Skedel good music is just good music, I enjoy a variety of different types of music, as well. Some rock songs, some country, some r&b, some classical.
President Obama had so much CLASS!!!!! Usher when say Lettt stay together, You make smile,,,,That note is so beautiful c filled with so much emotion and compassion....I watch this quite often. Thank you,President Obama ❤
I fondly remember Al Green performing outside in downtown DC. I was so fortunate to be standing near the stage. When he started to do what I call his "knee bend and strut".. The One and only Al Green handed me arose. Thank you for the memory Mr Al Green.

Absolutely!! ❤
Why would you get “hate?” It’s a free country! I happen to agree with you!👏🏿🌈👏🏾👏🏽👏🏻💙
So true.
Jennifer Hudson's voice is truly BLESSED. I know we're here to honor Al but she KILLED it.
Yes she did!
No doubt!!!!!

She 🔥
I have played her rendition of Simply Beautiful like 10 times in a row! Whew!!!
God bless you al ..... I love your music still today .....from a white man in alabama
Don't you love it when all the other musicians are enjoying themselves and the music? Look at their faces.

Why, dear Lord why do we not have music like this now days? You hear new/newer artists say this is great music, yet we never hear it anymore.
Very true x
Hope Noneya we have to demand it and support it. This music was celebrating real love, breaking down barriers and uplifting the souls of all. Somebody didn't want that to happen
The talent is out there but the industry wants to push garbage.
It is a business Hope. The bar has been lowered. Hip-Hop can produce better profits and create stars who are more disposable. That has ALWAYS been in the business of music anyway but over the years talent goes to the back of the bus while money is doing all the driving.
Because autotune has surgically removed the human soul from the human voice. It's also removed the need to have a voice.
Only few legends are in this world, an Mr. Al Green is definitely one.
Smokey, pattie,gladys'dionne is still here

You are correct, 50 years ago, 1973, I was in the Army and every “blood” in the barracks had an Al Green cassette tape and it was beautiful. By the time I got to Ft. Benning my bunk mate, Willie Davis, would put his tape in and sing right along and do his moves, that’s soul brother!!!
I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio as a middle child n enjoy all music n loved Motown n I am white old man at 62 n still love all different kinds of music
Henry Skedel good music is just good music, I enjoy a variety of different types of music, as well. Some rock songs, some country, some r&b, some classical.
Good ear for music
I am with you Henry......And I grew up in Australia I had every record of Al Green & Motown Artists,,,,
Right on music in that era was clean and had a positive impact on it's listeners I'm a 49 year old black male how I miss music from that era
Pamela Devoe I m exactly the same!! I will even personally add African music to the list you provided .
President Obama had so much CLASS!!!!!
Usher when say Lettt stay together, You make smile,,,,That note is so beautiful c filled with so much emotion and compassion....I watch this quite often.

I fondly remember Al Green performing outside in downtown DC. I was so fortunate to be standing near the stage. When he started to do
what I call his "knee bend and strut".. The One and only Al Green handed me arose. Thank you for the memory Mr Al Green.
