Having heard a few of his songs in the recent past (Tired of Being Alone - covered by Texas and Let's Stay Together - featured in the magnificent Pulp Fiction) and the inclusion of a few tasty snippets in a few episodes of Ally McBeale, I was propelled into buying this fab CD.

Stay Together is a showcase of the combination of grit and honey that made the singer one of the decade's foremost artist-hit-makers. In addition to the classic title single--a pop and R&B No. 1 in 1972--the album offers prime early examples of other Green trademarks: an unexpected cover (the Bee Gees' "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart") and the outright eccentricity of "So You're Leaving", which answers gossips with the assurance that if "they'll lie on Jesus, can't you see they'll lie on you and me." --Rickey Wright

Advantages: Excellent stress relief Disadvantages: Too high for most people to sing along to properly!
...but there's a part in most of the songs on this album that I just have to close my eyes to! And I don't consider myself to be an avid fan. This is my only Al Green album, but I definitely wouldn't rule out buying another!

Having heard a few of his songs in the recent past (Tired of Being Alone - covered by Texas and Let's Stay Together - featured in the magnificent Pulp Fiction) and the inclusion of a few tasty snippets in a few episodes of Ally McBeale, I was propelled into buying this fab CD. It has a blend of upbeat, dancy numbers and some toe-tapping ballads, but there's a part in most of the songs on this album that I just have to close my eyes to! And I don't consider myself to be an avid fan. This is my only Al Green album, but I definitely wouldn't rule out buying another!
Most people are surprised when they hear about my musical tastes. Most see me as someone purely into heavy metal, my friends as heavy metal and clasic rock, but even my very close friends don't seem to understand how far my taste goes. I have always loved every type of metal and some rap and dance but it is only recently when i discovered the wonders of 70's Soul and funk. The first time i heard AlGreen was on Pulp Fiction with the song "Let's stay together". I loved the song from the first time i heard it but never looked into it until i bought the movie soundtrack, since then i have been searching AlGreen in youtube and discovering all sorts of other great music. I have always been into laid back songs and have often skipped through albums to find that one slow love song. With this collection you get some of the best of Algreen ...
Advantages: Good music, funny dialogues, nice booklet inside, good price,... Disadvantages: Maybe a few songs are a bit too long for me
talks about stupid things, like how we call in Europe Quarter pounder with cheese (Royale with cheese), or what we put on French fries (mayonnaise instead of ketchup, which is not true, at least for me). Funny dialogue, anyway.
Jungle Boogie is the next track, track number three, a song performed by Kool and The Gang, from 1973. Three minutes and five seconds of boogie, a simple song that can get you bored, been so repetitive. It?s a lot of ?get down, get down?, and some of ?jungle boogie, boogie baby?, a very sexual song, I?d say, but not one of my favourites from this album, thou is not a bad one at all. And after this try to do some boogie, a kind of soul song starts with some nice trumpets in a slow song. That?s ?Let?s stay together?, from AlGreen, included in his album ?Have a nice decade? (not sure the year this song was released ...
