I grew up on this and have my own guitar.. I kept searching until I found a lesson that taught that opening bcuz without it??? It ain’t the song!!!!!

@deanlucas761

That's "Teeny" Hodges Al's band director and co-writer of a lot of his songs.

@johnmaer

The chordal part of it, I guarantee you, has been digitally sampled and recycled in many other artists' work over the years.....it's kind of a descending pattern that grabs you....not necessarily in a happy kind of way, but definitely ear grabbing.

Damn his voice is so sweet and beautiful, honestly I'm not trying to hate but these singing voices now just hasn't been able to touch my heart, like the old ones. I'm honestly not trying to be like that one commenter who hates every new artist, but it's hard the music is so commercialized and comes so fast it feels like barely any thought and heart was spent on it and they just say the words, but don't actually SING them.
B.B King, Al green, Aretha franklin, the temptations, Isley brothers, Betty Wright, Bill withers, Lenny Williams, these singers and those around their times, truly touch my heart, their voices are just so soulful and soul wrenching. Really wish we could back to the times when music was created for the art and because you wanted to make a contribution and not JUST the money and fame.

​@@man-man4496 - 19 yrs old: You & Sosa slaap have your whole lives ahead of you. Be thankful for your young years while you have them, make the most of them wisely & responsibly, & in the future, your older self will be thankful. So many people who are older wish they could go back in time to when they were teens & give their younger self some wisdom that they gained from years of living so they would make some different choices in their life, but we can only do our best as we understand it at the time, so some older people try to pass on some wisdom & perspective to younger folks. I'm a bit older than you, so here's 1 bit of wisdom I'll leave with you: enjoy your youth responsibly, & don't play with anyone's heart. Instead, treat other people as you would want them to treat you. A family member who I loved passed away as a teenager, so that's why I stopped to take a few minutes of my time to share some thoughts with you, including this:

You both said you're an old soul. It's great if you know you have a soul. It's the most important thing you have in life! You matter. Your life & your soul matter. The devil is real & he's a thief, a killer, & a Liar that comes to steal people's souls & take them to hell through evil & thru temptations in this world. But Jesus loves you! He came to Earth to give life. God is our heavenly father. He made you & you're precious to him. As you might already know, Jesus (Y'shua) loved us so much that even though he was without sin & he didn't deserve any punishment, he was willing to take upon himself the punishment people deserve for their sins. He took our place in punishment, which is what he did on the cross or the stake. He loved us so much that he paid the penalty for our sins & for mankind's sins to offer us forgiveness of our sins & offer us eternal life in heaven. We can accept his offer by doing this: 1) pray a prayer truly repenting of sin, (it has to be true/sincere because God knows our thoughts, heart, attitude, & actions), 2) ask God's forgiveness, & 3) then pray something like this: "Jesus, I make you my Lord & savior." Then all we have to do is have a personal relationship w/ Jesus by including prayer to him in our life on a regular basis, & do our best to learn Jesus's teachings & live by them. Do yourself a favor & read a New Testament in modern English as soon as possible. Personally, I don't put the teachings of Jesus's students (the disciples) at the same level as Jesus's teachings, so I prefer a red-letter edition w/Jesus's words in red. (You can read the Old Testament later.) Jesus's teachings include this most of all: Love God w/ all your heart, soul, mind, & strength, & love others as yourself. Hate no one. Forgive Everyone. That's extremely important. If we don't forgive others, God won't forgive us. (That doesn't mean we have to agree w/ the way everyone is & it doesn't mean we have to let someone into our life if we don't want to, etc. Forgiveness is spiritual. For ex, if someone abused you or committed a crime against you, you could still testify against them in court if you want to, but you must forgive them spiritually & not let them put hate in your heart.) Pray even for an enemy. (It can be easier said than done sometimes, but you can just pray for them to change their ways & for their soul to be saved. And because Jesus taught us to be humble, pray this too: 'God, if I'M wrong about anything, show ME'). Also, Jesus said if we're not willing to acknowledge him in front of others, then he won't acknowledge us in front of his Father in heaven. "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13.) There's no other name given by which we can be saved: there's power in the name of Jesus. Jesus loves you!

Happy 72nd birthday to the Reverend Al Green, the preacher Soul vocalist first great soul singer of the '70's and arguably the last great Southern soul singer. With his seductive singles for Hi Records in the early '70's, Green bridged the gap between deep soul and smooth Philadelphia soul.
