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:

A Greatest Hits Masterpiece.......2007-03-29

A 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.

Very good.......2007-01-25

I've heard his music but never owned a CD of his, this one is really good and I enjoy it very much. Happy to add to my music collection.

Oh, Al Green...Never fails to please!.......2007-01-19

This CD is great! His music is so soulful and every song has a certain sound to it. It is pretty hard to not love Al Green. The compilation of songs chosen for this particular album are some of his greatest!!

Some songs on here are NOT great hits........2007-01-16

I believe there are better Al green albums out there that give you better hits. Some of these songs i would never consider as Al's great hits.

CAN'T DO WITHOUT AL GREEN.......2007-01-10

Al Green has a "one of a kind" voice. HIs music is unforgetabble!! Another Great Addition to my 60's & 70's Collection of GREAT MUSIC!! You won't be dissappointed in this CD - It's A-1!!
