Al Green seems so genuinely happy.

His dad had no idea he would return to his gospel roots when he kicked him out. Praise God for this anoited child of God

Maybe We Should Thank His Crazy Ass, Jealous GF...For His Returning To His Gospel Roots. Al Said, She Knew Him Better Than Anybody Else, And Predicted To Him He Would Be A Minister And Have His Own Church. Well, Well, Well...I Guess She Had A Premonition -Eh. I Hate To Say, He Stated He Loved Her And Wrote That La-La-La Song About Her. Now, I’m Jealous As All Get Out!!! Although, I Would Never Try To Hurt This Man, (Like She Did). Mainly, Because I Know He Could Never Be Strictly True To Just One Woman - Heck, He’s An Aries. GOD, Had A Good Time Testing Al. Do You Think He Passed The Tests??? I Think He Did. Like He Said, You Who I Want, But It’s GOD Who I Need...AMEN!!! Love You My Soul Brother!!! I Wish I Could Meet You In Person -Just Once...Amen!!!

2 me Al always preached LOVE it had 2 b how he was living.

It's so strange to see early TV performances of Al Green. Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder movements come to mind. But it is all so raw and awesome. The influence of African American spiritual traditions is clear. Such creativity.

He was always so very humble and personable and sometimes almost shy like a nervous shy.

Omg, you made me cry tears of joy. I'm from Memphis Tennessee. When I was younger my mother had own every song by Mr AL Green. She play his music while cleaning up the house. Not only does his music bring back memories. So does your comment. I was born 1964 and we me and my 5 brothers grew up there. During the segregation era. So many black families starve because they didn't make enough money to feed their families. I remember filling up a potato sack of cotton and getting a dime for it. But about your comment I remember we ate syrup and ketchup sandwiches. And was eating beans 7 days a week for dinner. But I wouldn't trade my past life with anyone. I ❤️ love and miss you always Mom 11/7/1942- 4/23/ 2012

all you meanies: how can you say anything bad about Al Green? he was blessed with the spirit of music in him. And he is so young in this video. These days young artists are so groomed so much it just about drains them of their souls. This man is a vessel for music and seemed to have such a sweet spirit.

That band was tight!

Quirky but damn if he ain't the greatest!

I will always hold Al Green in my heart..The very first time I heard Al Green..It was a dear friend that had A 45 of Back-up Train... Linda ,My sister Sissy and played that 45 until it was slick ..We were around 16 and 17 ❤️

people are sitting down during this? and tapping their feet? al killed it in this. time to stand up and freaking dance!

Dude always took it 2 another level live

Even though this was after the days of the original Enterprise Orchestra, who followed him like skin, this is one of my very favorite Al Green performances. As great as he was in the studio, and he was, there was never anything like him live, and no one close for me, until D'Angelo, who never got to realize his full potential. Al was the king of the sacred and the profane, and you never cared about the difference. Sometimes he made ME want to go to church. Love him to death.

Like he went disco on it right!!!!

The bass player and the drummer are playing the heck out of this song 😲

Man that is some good stuff right there. Al was obviously feeling it, and let it take over. Gotta respect an authentic and sincere performance. I'm not sure many "artists" today have content that is meaningful enough to even evoke that type of emotional connection.

He a church boy that probley struggled doing "worldly" music. He a real singer. Gifted. Geniuses are a lil weird,strange. Peculiar. Gods people are a peculiar people....

Oh that man's just soooo good, the perfect union of soul and energy right there folks, wow. Love how he's so tight and totally in command of that performance -- from the confidence he boasts at 6:40 with "I think I got this thing!", to the ending he times so perfectly with his hands at 7:10. It just doesn't get any better.

Love the story about Willie Mitchell - Those albums that Willie produced for Al were just beautifully, spiritually divine!!

Such a very talented man! Voice directly from HEAVEN. Then turns out, he got a calling from the master, he answered the call, now he's a great minister and gospel singer. THANK GOD for you Mr. Al Green,!

Al works the spiritual soul out of any song he sings. Yep🤒Pssssst! sooo true !

His gospel roots never left him and you always see and hear it in his live performances.

Use to wear this 📼 out in the 90's..he was 100% clowning in this show..always had a cold band..

It's Jesus, we can all have some of that if you just ask. Love Rev. Green so much, he is just foreal.

UK here. Have watched this over 100 times. Still gives me goosebumps.

Al Green is a brilliant writer, singer and musician !!!

I love him. Such a happy person and such a lovely, gifted , talented singer. Genius...my favorite singer of all time. I love you, Al Green.

I know his music but not much about his life. One thing I can say here is that he seems like he was genuinely having fun. He seems kind of childlike and innocent.

Al Green pure talent he got better with age just like fine wine..... But he was always a preacher always GOD called him to preach when he got ready for him to preach.....

You got that right Sister.👌🏻He was the Man.

Probably why he still alive today.. He just different type of inter actor .. He stated he never went the drug path..
