MOG Editorial Review

When you consider the storied legacy of soul music and what it's contributed to American culture over the last sixty years, Al Green stands alongside greats like James Brown, Marvin Gaye, and Sam Cooke as the men who helped build the foundation. Green cemented his spot in the halls of soul immortality in the '70s, releasing a string of classic albums that included 1972's Let's Stay Together. While the title track obviously demands a certain level of respect as the most successful song of Al's career, the hidden gem on this album is Green's cover of "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" by the Bee Gees. Green's version is unbelievably stirring, adding a southern twist that propels this rendition past the original. The recipe for Al's greatness begins and ends with his one-of-a-kind voice -- buttery smooth and shockingly flexible, Green's emotion gave his work a quality that couldn't be replicated. Let's Stay Together should be a staple in any respectable soul music collection.
AMG Review of Let's Stay Together

All Music Guide

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. However, this album includes the timeless gem "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" and lesser-known beauties like the exulting "Judy," the cookin' testimonial "I Never Found a Girl," and the soothing blues effort "It Ain't No Fun to Me." The Arkansas native and his creative partner Willie Mitchell season these selections with lucid rhythm arrangements complemented by the faint strums of a guitar and brawn, unchiding horns.
