10 Songs, 35 Minutes
EDITORS’ NOTES
It simply doesn’t get better than “Tired of Being Alone,” “Let’s Stay Together,” and “I’m Still In Love With You.” Green’s otherworldly improvisations in such compact space made the singles all the more revelatory. The productions knew how to squeeze every essential nuance into the limited space without losing an ounce of power.

Ratings and Reviews
Al Greene crossed the line.
AL Greene crossed the color line back in the 70's.
His music transcended the racial lines that had been in place for way too long.
In my highschool days I can clearly remember listening to him on double dates in the back seat of my buddy's Ford Mustang... "Here I am baby".
This is what real music was, and how it should be today.
Rappers, are you listening???
Classic funk and soul is all you need to know
I have to admit, I picked this up on vinyl with the idea of flipping it. But after I sampled some of these tunes here, this is definitely a keeper. You will definitely recognize these songs. I remember some of them from when I was very young and I guess an earlier generation would consider these essential. I can hardly believe I never owned this before now. If you're into that old funk and soul stuff, you need this.
Class Act
It doesn’t get much better than this. I remember mom playing them 45’s on Saturday afternoons. This was “ The Good Times “.
