Prior to this album, Al Green never had a number one song. The title track, "Let's Stay Together," achieved that status and held it for nine consecutive weeks. Green's ingenuity produced one of the all-time classics, which has the bounce of a dance cut and the passion of a ballad. The dynamic soul singer's whispers, animated cries, and riffing enhance his already stirring delivery. This album was sold on the strength of the title track as there were no other selections to grace the Billboard charts
Only 13 left in stock (more on the way).
I'm, I'm so in love with you Whatever you want to do Is alright with me 'Cause you make me feel so brand new And I want to spend my life with you. Let me say that since, baby Since we've been together Loving you forever Is what I need Let me be the one you come running to I'll never be untrue
Let's, we oughta stay together. Gm9. Loving you whether, whether.
The title track of Let's Stay Together is a karaoke standard and an "American Idol" joke. Surprise: it got there by being one of the best-sung hits of the 70s. Virtually everyone who's covered it has surrendered to the temptation to oversing it; the genius of Green's performance is that he's murmuring it to the person on the next pillow, not declaiming it for the neighbors to bear witness. Green wasn't yet firing on all cylinders as a songwriter, but even the album's lesser songs get spectacular performances. As with his entire pre-gospel career, Jesus.
