"How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" is a song released by the Bee Gees in 1971. It was written by Barry and Robin Gibb and was the first single on the group's 1971 album Trafalgar. It was their first US No. 1 single and also reached No. 1 in Cashbox magazine for two weeks.
In the US Atco Records issued both mono and stereo versions of the song on each side as a promo single.[2] The B-side was a Maurice Gibb composition "Country Woman".
1972: Al Green recorded the song for his album Let's Stay Together, which also appeared on the soundtracks of 1997's Good Will Hunting, 1999's The Virgin Suicides, 1999's Notting Hill and 2010's The Book of Eli. Green's version was released as a single in France on Cream Records.[24] In 2008, Green's version was remade into a duet with Joss Stone for the soundtrack to the film adaptation of Sex and the City, with her vocals overdubbed onto the track. - Wikipedia

@margaretmccall7726
@margaretmccall7726 4 года назад
Al Green's poignant soulful arrangement does it for me everytime👏🙌 This was during a period of the 70s when the Bee Gees would release a song, and then shortly after an R&B act would release a new cover version. It was the same way when Pat Boone and Elvis copied Little Richard in the 50s, but in reverse. 😂 I still love the Bee Gees and Rev Al Green. Great music will live forever. 🎤🎶🎵

The Bee Gees were born into a poor family that clung together through rough times. Their circumstances as youngsters came through their writing their entire lives; Barry Gibb (the sole surviving brother) said in an interview that black soul music was the epitome, the most important music, the music that brought their mutual feelings out. It's not surprising that what they wrote was picked up and covered so well by artists who were steeped in the genre they admired most.

To be honest Al Green doesn’t even have to sing a word to win this...that organ’s first few chords wins it for him. After reading the comments this is almost a laughable comparison. Al’s arrangement...the horns, the organ, the violins and EVEN the background singers are better. Al Greens’ voice is just the cherry on top of this version🍒by the way I love The Bee Gees just not this song by them.

Al is the winner. 1) Al's version is what you listen to when you broke up with somebody you REALLY love 2) The Bee Gees version is for when you had a disappointing moment in your life..... your date stood you up, you met a person you like but didn't love.
@town_biznessman380

The Bee Gees were always hauntingly soulful in the writing, but yes, the execution turned to more R&B instead of pop in the late 1970s, 20 years into their recording career. They went all the way (in my opinion) with "Stayin' Alive."

Al to the Green hunny. I have to say I felt it even the music of Al Green seems like the sounds of the instruments sang to ur soul. When Al sings " HOW CAN U MEND A BROKEN HEART HOW CAN Y STOP THE RAIN FROM FALLING DOWN". U can feel his every week word. U can feel his words it's as if he's in a room and a friend came to check on him n he's REALLY asking HOW, HOW HOW !!!!! Then he says " What makes the world go around!!!!". Then when he says LA LA LA LA LA. Omg!!! As an adult who hasn't been heart broken???? It's as if his song was a broken heart for me. That's wat I heard. The BeeGees did their thing but Al Green turn it down.

The Bee Gees are a "blue-eyed soul" group of harmonizing brothers from Australia recording since the 1950s. Only Barry, the oldest, is still alive now. I always loved their music, their talent with marrying the lyrics to the beats and keeping it real. Barry Gibb said he thinks Al Green did a masterful job on this song.
