Living legend soul singer Al Green's Best known Album "Let's Stay Together"
Otis Redding and Sam Cooke, Al Green used LET'S STAY TOGETHER to introduce his own style to the world. Green wrote or co-wrote Seven of the Nine Songs on LET'S STAY TOGETHER, including the title track, his only no. 1 pop single. Love and the Awakening is a universal theme for this sweet soul music. The lightly surging groove of "Let's Stay Together" carries a plea for reconciliation; the delicate ballad "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" (a Bee Gee cover) addresses the aftermath of a breakup. Throughout LET'S STAY TOGETHER, the Hi Records house is exquisitely lined up with Green's heaviest tenor, Charles Hodges's inspirational organ fills on "La-La For You" or Brother's Teen Hodges' understated guitar riffs on "It Is not No Fun To Me. " Throw in a brassy horn section and lush string arrangements, and you have a perfectly balanced slice of soul. Some consider Al Green to be the greatest soul singer who ever lived. LET'S STAY TOGETHER, a purely joyful listen from beginning to end, makes a very good case.
