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: - The Essence of Al GreenAll the songs that made Al Green the celebrated artist we have all come to know and L-O-V-E! Rating:  - Good CD not in great conditionThe music itself is great but the condition of the CD was not what was explained. There were scratches on the cd and the case was in pretty bad shape. When a product is advertised as "mint" or "almost new" you don't expect it to be in a worn out condition. Rating: - Most Of His Greatest Hits With Hi RecordsAl Green, born on April 13, 1946 in Forrest City, Arkansas, began his long road to the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame (inducted in 1995) by singing gospel as part of the Greene Brothers before relocating to Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1959, and landing with the Fargo label in 1960 at age 14. In 1964 he joined The Creations and remained with that group through to 1967, and from 1967 into 1968 became part of The Soul Mates with brother Robert and Lee Virgins. Late in 1967 he scored his first hit single for Hot Line Records when Back Up Train began its climb to # 5 R&B/# 41 Billboard Pop Hot 100 early in 1968 b/w Don't Leave Me, billed to Al Greene & The Soul Mate's (sic). He then went solo, at first cutting sides with Bell Records ... Read More: Rating: - Memphis Soul from the 70'swhat can you say, Al Green arguably had the biggest impact of any of the Memphis (or anywhere else) soul singers from the 1970's. His recordings on the Hi Label with the Hi Records house band (the "Hi Rhythm Section"-the Hodges Brothers and the Memphis Horns; Wayne Jackson and Al Love), and the genius of Memphis Soul Music Producer extroadinnaire Willie Mitchell redefined soul music at the time. All of Al's great songs are here, not one bad cut on this album. Still sounds fresh to-day. 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 . |
