Al Green is very shy, on the stage, his altar ego comes out. Listening to him talk about his child hood, not having a lot of friends, that he stayed to himself. Sounds much like he's an Introvert. I think he has a beautiful soul. Al, can sang to me any day of the week. Word!!💜❤
This is beautiful, one of the first 45rpm we had after our mom bought us a stereo.What beautiful memories,my brother and I would compete on who could hit those falsetto, the Al Green does, I would always win. I Love Al Green,the man has so much love in his voice,This is truly soul This was 1973,he was 25 years of age.,that was 48 years ago, Today is May 8,2021. Thank you,Jesus for your divine mercy.
Only one human being sings like that. Can't imitate him. Even when I try to sing along, I have problems, cause he has so many twists and turns, bending of notes so sweet. He takes us to so many spiritual places in our minds.
I got gifted this whole entire interview and performance back in 2004.... It got so scratched up cause I watched it nearly everyday... So i would like to say a HUGE BIG THANK YOU TO WHOMEVER PUT THIS ON HERE FOR US TO ENJOY 😉# M.V.P. ....
Love this interview, so chill, relaxed and insightful. The audience is totally dialed in on the conversation. Pre-smartphone era was absolutely the best!
I Was 17 y.o. When He Was Here. I Was So SO MESMERIZED Towards This Man...Since I Was 15 Years Old. So, You’re Only 8 Years Older Than Me. I’m More Of An Introvert -Too...For Some Reason Or Another. I Love Sam Cooke -Too!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS...I LOVE YOU FOR IT!!!
I pray that this happens, keep us posted. I love me so Al Green the man the music the everything. I have been trying to get my hands on this show, soul 73.
When I was a child all I knew was that something about his music touched me in a special way. Now that I am an older adult I am revisiting his music, understanding why he moves me in a deeper way. Thanks for this post.
YES! It's SOUL! on WNET! We are making a documentary about this show - help make it happen for Mr. SOUL! Watch the trailer and become a backer on Kickstarter!
I love me some Al Green! I just wonder did he forget how old he was lol! He was born in april of 1946 and this was in 1973, which would have made him 27yrs old. But he stated he was 25 when asked how old he was!
@oifnolykous - The footage is from WNET, but as far as I know the episode was just called "Let's Stay Together". I think it was planned for DVD release at one point, but was sadly withdrawn. Possibly that had another name? Thanks for watching!
There's bootleg videos and DVDs of the entire concert floating about--i bought one in NYC about ten years ago from a merchant who had a stall in a flea market on 4th and Broadway--in the net age I'd bet its readily obtainable with a little due diligence...
Oh Al oh Al, how did so much come from a man in this era? Just like Teddy Pendergrass, these two were some real singers singing to the people especially the women. Only the true artists can really break through to the audience the way they did.
We as so called blacks have been the Beauty to this country called America.. this reminds me that when the Children of yisreal. Got off the ship, those are our True ancestors. But the captivies who bound them and enslaved. Told them to sing a song. And They said, how can I sing in a strange land. You see our captives truly knows our History, and this is why so called blacks in America today would never appease their captors. We have a Bloodline from whence came. And the bloodline is through Abraham, Issac, And Jacob. But as generation's has transpired in time we forgot our God, and served theirs. The enemy still have power over The Most High s people. But it's time to take a stand. If The Most High is your Aloheim. Then serve him or forget be e a slave be to bondage.
Aw, he's so shy and soft-spoken, just how I like my men, lol. I wonder though why he said he was 25? I think this interview took place in 1973, so he would have been 27, unless it was the early part of the year then he would have still been 26.
And the Five Stairsteps performance at the Isley brothers, it's your thing concert at Shea Stadium in New York, I have the live album. It was also flimed
