I brought this album for one purpose and one purpose only 'Let's Stay Together'
I didn't know who sang it because I was an 80's baby raised in the 90's it was before my time, but eventually found out that Al did.
After owning this album 2 months now I have been gripped by Al's presents on the mic, I now have 15 favorite songs on the album, they don't call it greatest hits for nothing!!
I feel so strongly about this album because when ever I hear it, it just makes me feel good, I literally have a smile on my face throughout the album!!
I have an ultimate favorite, but it was hard to pick with great songs like 'Simply Beautiful' 'Sha La La' 'Tired of Being Alone' and 'How Can You Mend a Broken Heart' getting in the way, but 'L.O.V.E.' is just fantastic!!
I now own 5 of Al Greens albums!
Anyone who's looking to get into classic Soul/R'n'B I recommend to start with Al Green, this guy is a legend!! Enjoy.

This album practically defines Soul, of the southern variety. It contains all the classic singles that Al Green recorded on Hi Records with ace producer Willie "pops" Mitchell. Who has recently produced the Moonlight Over Memphis album for British Soul singer Marti Pellow among numerous others. It can't be recommended highly enough.

Al Green's voice is sensational. Most of the songs are great. Singing along to them is a must plus 'simply beautiful' has to be the ultimate getting-it-on song ever. What more can I say! I love this album.
 A good collection but not a classic January 6, 2004

OK so I bought this album on the strength of a couple of hits from Al and also because I can buy it so cheaply on here. Unfortunately the other tracks on the album have failed to set my heart on fire in the way that 'lets stay together' did but perhaps it time that may change - who knows.All in all this is a fairly good collection of hits from a very talented man but its not a classic for me.
