Title: Al Green? Post by: Newguy562 on July 23, 2012, 04:33:37 AM So just recently I came across a soul singer the other day named Al Green he's pretty good, he has a few songs that I like that I'd love to share with you guys..Do any of you like his music? It has a soulful/gospel feel to it...
If you guys haven't heard of him you should check em out you might like some of his work..(If you're into R&B/Soul) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8AtyaxgtOU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNZ5X4MAgdE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COiIC3A0ROM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6ABNw2Oi3Y Title: Re: Al Green?

For instance, LET'S STAY TOGETHER has a wonderful chord sequence that does not repeat itself. It also has a few key changes. It reminds me a little bit of The Beach Boys' THIS WHOLE WORLD, in that way.

I'm more into Joe Tex, etc. why not?I don't know. It's just not something I could listen to for hours like I can with other stuff. I guess it's just my taste. I think he's a great singer but not as low down as the stuff I'm attracted to Title: Re: Al Green?

I agree with your first song, my favorite of his is "I'm Still In Love With You". Title: Re: Al Green?

Well I know who Al Green is now. :) He's pretty decent but Marvin Gaye does Soul/R&B better imo.I agree with your first song, my favorite of his is "I'm Still In Love With You". Title: Re: Al Green? Post by: Ron on August 22, 2012, 08:48:50 PM Yeah, I suppose so. Why do you always feel the need to judge and rate everything, though? Does it make Al Green any less fantastic if Marvin Gaye 'did R&B/Soul better" whatever that means?
There's nothing wrong with saying Al Green is great, without finding somebody who's better. With ALLLLL that said, marvin Gaye and Al Green are completely different from each other. So you basically just compared another black guy you could think of to him. WTF? |
