Al Green - "A Change Is Gonna Come" | Concert for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 

I agree !

I’m the same age, and I’m right there with you. Love this! 😊

2020 here!! ThanQ Jesus aaamen!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

I mean I'm sure it was more relevant in 1963 when it was written... but it's still relevant especially in our day and age

What a stupid, ignorant thing to say.

Facts we need a change, biden got the economy banged up smh

FABULOUS LADY. Ironically, I met Mr. Sam Cooke's Father in Chicago in the late 1970's at a small Pentecostal church near 66th and Halstead! He was just sitting in the audience; dressed in a black Ministers suit, with the Ministers collar, if memory serves me correctly. The local female pastor respectfully noted who he was. I was very young but I casually went up to him and told him that his sons music meant a lot to me. Because I was young and had not experienced much of life. I did not understand why he kind of wept when I said that I really enjoyed his sons music! At that time, his child had been deceased for about 16 years and this was before his sons legendary music status had seen the resurgence/ respect as it is honored now! For the record , the great Sam Cooke was a lighter complexioned virtually identical version of his father! His father was a very handsome dark chocolate, slim, gentle- man. Looking at his dad was very close to having had an opportunity to meet the great Sam Cooke! Based on that meeting, I gathered that his father was a very dignified and quiet acting gentleman. You know, sometimes your soul looks back and is in wonder of the people you have met!!! 💟💟💟God's s Love to all and God knows WE ALL NEED TO PRAY FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS TO RAIN DOWN ON THIS PLACE.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Hi, there is one more, try Aaron Naville doing this wonderful

Listen to Baby Huey and the Baby Sitters, best cover by far.

It's Sam cooke not Sam cook 😂

@@CagedGod yes it is I like this cover the best. And Otis Redding. ♥️👍

I think he was sharper here than the other live performance

Twice 🤭

Guy is so original, soul is deep!!! Everytime he performs that hit, brother Al green losses it in the air!!! I can feel how this song means to him personally, Sam must be so proud up there!!! What a hit

I was there 🕊️ one of the highlights of my life as far as music goes !

I don’t know about that. He was interacting a lot with the audience. He wanted them to make some noise for him. He kept addressing them from time to time before the song started and during it. You can’t do that if you think you’re just by yourself. He was pouring his heart out but it was to those people watching him. I am absolutely sure his heart touched theirs while he was doing this song because I wasn’t even there and he touches mine all the time with it. I wish I had been there because I would never have forgotten it.

@@juniorjohnson5961 i’m so jealous. I bet it was wonderful too! I bet you will never forget it for the rest of your life too, won’t you?

​@@philomelodia I think of it often. I've got the ribbon that was cut to open the Hall Of Fame. Met Yoko Ono & Jann Wenner the two people who cut the ribbon & was with the first group to go through .

Hi , please try also * The Neville Bros. * doing this song, ENJOY

Wow! I am with you on that one! Have tears in my eyes. ♥️

Seal

Seriously great Al!

Wowee this is soooo beautiful!

Yes indeed !

150% agree with you!

Saw him the 1973, At blossom music center In Ohio. What a voice. That was shortly before he became reverend Al Green

@@johnjohnston4672 I saw Al twice in 1973 (March and November) in Nashville, Tennessee.

Hi, the BIG change does already happen..........

June 9th 1995 to be precise & Albert song his butt off too! I was 40yrs. old & jammed MY butt off!

💞💞💞

Brighter days!!!

Al Green has the ability with his grace and talent to pretty much stop anyone in their tracks. I mean that voice, that presence. The man has the gift! Peace.

Goosebumps and tears at the same time so heartrending MD powerful

Tragically Sam Cooke was murdered just a week or two before the song was officially released

Amen!!

Hi, maybe Aaron Naville does........

I know 5 great reeditions and I would not say any of them "beats' the other 6.

I mean... Sam cooke? 🤨🤔

@@jonathanmalenfant2159 seriously. Except Sam Cooke...the man that WROTE IT 🤦‍♀️

Yes indeed!!

2 total giants and GOATs

Otis tore it 2 shreds also

The facial expression he did when he took his shades off is priceless. Al is the ultimate performer

Honestly, I don't think Al Green can make any song sound bad. Have you ever heard his cover of The Bee Gees "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart"? Blew me away. Peace.

Lucky audience! Love Mr. Green.

Petite Wheatstraw was actually a person?

@@odingakambui3825 According to what I have read ; that he was a musician from Cotton Plant , AR. Perhaps Google has more. P.S. The Country music singer Conway Twitty also lived in Marianna , AR in the 1960's. He married a lady named MS. Jaco who was living in Marianna, AR.....which is in Lee County and of course, Johnny Cash was born and lived approx 40- 45 miles from points in Lee Co.

No need for autotune. These singers had/have natural, powerful voices.

Reverend Green's cover of this powerful anthem does Sam Cooke justice. If this doesn't move you, you're just not right. Still waiting for that change to come, but this certainly gives me hope for us all. Oh, Al Green. That voice. That presence. That smile. I say "YEAH"!

Why do you say RIP! He is not deceased!!

Hi , wait and see, there will be much more changes NOW

@@mariocaffari5015 I hope the change you expect is the right one!!

@@sarajomendez7994 YES im shure, even if it's hurts first

Well, as the old saying goes...Be careful what you wish for, you may get it!

No kidding. I usually avoid listening to covers of this powerful anthem, but it's Al Green. What a voice! I think Sam Cooke must have been smiling down!

This version is so emotional, it’s just as good, maybe better

🔥🔥🔥❤️
