Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: One of the must-own soul albums, Greatest Hits is fattened with five extra tracks in this reissue. Al Green brought the Memphis Sound into the '70s by slightly softening it, melding smooth funkiness with his miraculous voice and innate sensitivity: his love songs, while perfect for the bedroom, are as conversational as they are blatantly seductive. By adding the likes of "Belle," a 1977 single that's a near-goodbye to the pop life, to the original lineup of "Let's Stay Together," "Look What You Done for Me," "Call Me," and the others, this edition of Greatest Hits also intriguingly fills out the story. --Rickey Wright Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Some oldies but goodiesAlthough I was not pleased with all the songs on this recording, the ones I wanted was there. Brought back memories galore. I recommend it . Rating: - Isaac Hayes isn't the only one who makes hot buttered soul...This is my only Al Green album, but I like it a ton. Every song on this album is a fantastic one: nothing even approaches being a loser. Al Green isn't universally respected like Stevie Wonder or Marvin Gaye, and I'd like to know why: he really is a great singer. His critics think he's boring, but I don't buy that, unless you consider all orchestrated R&B boring, in which case you'd be writing off everything Motown; Curtis Mayfield; Isaac Hayes; Aretha Franklin and several other masters of the form, which is unfair. Anyway, like any good soul singer Al Green can really get down and testify, which he does on every cut: whether it's gospel-soul with raunchy lyrics you wouldn't hear in church (Love and Happiness, my favorite Al Green song - I saw ... Read More: Rating: - it's been stated by so many others...No one, but no one, is better than Al Green when it comes to heart-wrenching, gut-churning tales of heartbreak and woe. I call it singing that is absolutely emotionally honest and believable and easy to relate to (if you've ever been in any of these situations--and who hasn't?) The man (with his voice) has the ability to heal/mend when it comes to matters of the heart. It certainly seems that way. Can't praise him enough. Rating: - Perfect Package for Al Green's HitsAll the best known Rev. Green songs are here, along with several lesser known, but still enjoyable, selections. This is must-have music for rock and rhythm and blues fans. You will find yourself trying to sing along. Rating: - A Greatest Hits MasterpieceA lot if not most greatest hits collections have some hits and some padding.Not this album.This is one great collection.The five songs tacked on at the end made this album a must own masterpiece.If you like Al Green's 70's output,you WILL like this CD.Every single song is a classic.Ol Skool Al Green fans (like myself) might already have at least a couple of his albums already,but this CD sums up why he's soul legend. P.S.:Do yourself a favor and pick up some of his 70's era albums starting with "I'm Still In Love With You" if you haven't already. |
