Produktbeschreibungen

Greatest Hits, eines der meistverkauftesten Soul-Alben, ist in dieser Neuveröffentlichung um fünf zusätzliche Tracks erweitert worden. Al Green trug den Memphis-Sound in die 70er Jahre, indem er ihn etwas weicher machte und sanften Funk mit seiner wunderbaren Stimme und seiner ihm eigenen Feinfühligkeit verschmelzen ließ. Seine Liebessongs sind wie geschaffen für zärtliche Stunden, sie kommen im Plauderton daher und sind unverschämt verführerisch. Dazu genommen wurden Songs wie "Belle", eine Single aus dem Jahre 1977 (ein Beinahe-Abschied vom Pop-Leben), bis hin zur Originalversion von "Let's Stay Together", "Look What You Done for Me", "Call Me" und viele andere. Diese Edition rundet die Geschichte auf faszinierende Weise ab. --Rickey Wright

Audio
Im Sturm erobert Al Green Frauen: mit einschmeichelnder Stimme, die betörend ins Falsett kippt. Let's Stay Together und I'm Still In Love With You sind zwei der Hit-Mixe aus Stax- und Motown-Sound.

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Upon its original release in 1975, Al Green's Greatest Hits pretty much summed up everything about Green, containing his ten biggest hits up to that point. A few years later, it was followed by a second volume, which contained hit singles that had charted since the release of the first collection. In 1995, The Right Stuff reissued Al Green's Greatest Hits, adding five of the highlights from the second volume of greatest hits as bonus tracks. The result was a definitive single-disc compilation, featuring 15 of Green's absolute best songs, including "Tired of Being Alone," "Let's Stay Together," "I'm Still in Love With You," "Call Me," "Here I Am," "Sha-La-La (Make Me Happy)," and "L-O-V-E (Love)." The original version of Greatest Hits was great, but the revision made it nearly perfect.
