Al Green took that song and owned it, he took us th church, to the river baptized everybody, and gave God the glory. You did Sam Cooke proud sir.. 👏 👏 👏 👏 ❤
I'm 60 and we're still fighting the same fight. Smh We didn't ask to come to America, how are we the problem? We, Black People, could go to the moon and they, White People would probably follow us there too. The obsession is real. R.I.P. Sam Cook ❤ Thank you Al Green 💙💚 God Bless you for posting. 💜
That’s a lie.. why would you say that??? Racism is not a problem anymore. People say anything to keep chaos amongst people..unfortunately idiots still believe it
Take us back to the old days when our grandparents and aunts and uncles would all have this music playing in the house cooking up real meals or even cooking out on the grill😭😭😭Goddddd I can learn to appreciate that soo much now that we are in these times!!! What happened lord😭🤦🏽♀️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Personally I would probably just have been sitting there with my eyes closed and taking it all in. If I jumped out of my seat I would distract myself from it. It's the same thing when people scream and clap through the song or before the song has ended… I want to hear it all.
i dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost the account password. I love any help you can offer me
@@lindawillingham1924 Hi, Linda! I am in and out of the recording studio lately. Check this one out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-amrXlywecCA.html. It is one that people are listening to internationally. Thanks for listening! Take care.
The artist gave his soul what more can anybody ask if that's not good enough that's the the listeners prob. I can it must have been a great day to hear it live
I’m 85 and I don’t think I’ve ever forgotten how things work in this country before and now, yes things will change for the better and we will see it soon enough to make a difference for everyone else!
I wish I could agree with you Nomusa...but Ive seen and have experienced stuff that makes me wonder about the hearts of some people. It's a nice, positive way to feel, but like another song, by George Benson, it really makes me wonder.
2023, I am currently watching Mr Al Green beautiful voice for a great song from the Sam Cooke, my big sister took me to see Al Green when I was 13 years old. He gave me a rose because all those big women was crushing me. He say my little face, walked right to me on that barricade with a long stem rose.. I still feel special today.. This song , all Sam Cooke music my mother used to play on her record player in the sixties so yes, now I am in my sixties. Sweet memories ❤️🥹
Amen! From someone who listened to him as a teenager on my 8-track tape player. Amen! From someone who visited his church in Memphis as an adult and heard him break out in song while preaching. Amen! From someone who’s now in his golden years and still is thrilled to listen to the inimitable Mr. Al Green. Amen!
First off Al Green killed this...2nd he did this without a ear piece meaning he remembered the lyrics to a song he didn't write...you got artists who can't even remember their own lyrics 3rd. He had no back up singers no lip singing all him man what a performance
B , AGREED 👍!!!, Mr. Al Green has a musical gift, That he doesn't need an ear peice, back up singers, or the band !!!, Give him a tambourine & a microphone & clapping his hands.......It will still be soulful & powerful to hear 💥🎼🎤💞!!!!
I felt that Hallelujah! down in my soul. I think he sang the word from his soul. I’ve never heard him sing this song before. He did it exceptionally well. ✝️🤗🥳❤️
One of the best live performances I've ever seen. The people who were there that evening are blessed to witness it. Would have been a highlight life changing moment in my life I feel. Don't know how everyone stayed sitting down.
A very emotional performance.He put his heart and soul into that song and the message in it.Yes one day a change will come.Don't give up , your day is coming.
They seemed rather enthralled and enjoying the performance. No need for race baiting, I don't think white people go to watch Al Green and be scared because he sings this song. Stupid thing to say.
That's an audience full of white folks, that's why. They didn't know what to do. It's not in their culture. Black folks would have jumped up a long time ago.
Holy Moly..The Reverend nailed that classic..can’t believe I’ve not seen that until now. Mr Cooke would have been proud of that performance..outstanding, tears in my eyes.
Me and I was singing on the parking lot and I didn't know that peoples was listening until they started singing along... I got faith in this song I truly believe a change is coming...
I can still remember the first time I heard this song on the AM radio in my car one day while driving to college. I think it was on WWRL 1600 in NYC. It surprised me that it was Sam Cooke but I loved the song. It didn't get much airplay. This performance takes it to church with Reverend Al Green.
18 June 2024, I'm listening on a cold South African winter night, will forever listen for as long as I live, l first listened to Sam Cooke version, followed it up with Otis Redding version and closed with Al Green version.
Campbell Brothers do an instrumental of this that 10,000 people wept through At Portland Blues Festival about 15 years ago. Lap steel Pedal steel Strat + 8-10 other musicians(band) Peace
2:32 - "But he winds up knocking me back down on my knees...." -- sends shivers down my spine when he falls to his knees and shakes his fists at the Universe and God and you and me. RIP Sam Cooke.... you were truly amazing.
It certainly is - And I believe the best interpretation of a lyric by any vocal artist, I've ever watched. Certainly as good as Mr Joe Williams or Sinatra. Exceptional class and talent -
Now listen people. How many people can relate to this God inspiration. There's a message in these words. Hallelujah thank you Jesus and God bless who are listening to this music 🎶.
I use to listen to my Brother Bobby and his Posse singing this song and even then it was always sad. From his Army Days he came home with that disease. Later in life my Big Sis took him to the VA because he was complaining about his chest. Sis told me when they returned for the results they said cancer was through-out his body. He was still in Germany went I got there in August 1977 and we had some nice times over there. Mom and the older ones are gone now and it's sure amazing how generations change. So many of Our Yonger people don't even know The LORD'S PRAYER, something we were taught as soon as we were old enough to leave "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep." GOD Is Good and see it all, GOD BLESS!!!!
Beast Nation ....true, true!! This kinna music comes from a generational NEED for change!! If we could all coordinate against all the bad stuff.........then WE can pray for OUR change to come!! THAT'S when we'll have good music again! IMHO!!
I know, right! Because they both sing with sincerity from the soul. You know how I know? Cause when they sing, it does something to my spirit. Smh 🙋🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️
Every time I watch this, the hairs stand up on the back of my neck and I feel like tearing up. The most powerful live performance I've seen. I am in awe of Al Green, today and always.
My god. I saw this live when it happened and it shook my core. Watching it back again it has the same effect, only you can't see how loud and long the standing ovation goes, which added to the chills of this soulful, historical performance. Just so, so inspiring.
when he sings this song I think about me and the struggles of other black men who survived bad times. I feel like he's singing to my pain. I teared up several times bcuz I been through alot.
+Harrell Smith Almighty God, have Mercy! Feels like 2 lifetimes of suffering with no justice in sight, so I gave it to Almighty to make things right as He wishes, so I am good, finally!
Holy Hell!!! I have watched this since it was first aired back in the day (I remember watching the show on tv) and to this day, he still blows me away! Powerful powerful performance....totally killed it!
hey brothers and sisters we need a change 2019 we have to many dying of drugs a crooked president bad food random shootings please lord take me back to the 60s and 70s
