Now The Rev. Al Green 💓 I have loved Al since the late sixties, I was a teen when I found this amazing singer. He was incredibly popular, women went crazy over his voice, then he had enough of the life in spotlight and went back to the church to give his message to the people. He did full circle, being brought up to revere the church & it’s hymns, then the family moved from the country up to Michigan where Al discovered a new kind of music and began singing the music of Motown… well his father kicked him out of the home and young Al wandered around singing & did have a band, then he was discovered by his agent and went on to become a huge r & b singer… this went on for years until he felt the church calling him home & from then to present day is a preacher ( bringing him full circle). Please find the celebration at The Kennedy Centre Awards where Rev Al Green is honoured by Earth,Wind & Fire, Jennifer Hudson, Usher, then finally Sam Moore ( of soul duo Sam & Dave of the 60’s - 70’s) & Mavis Staples who sing Take Me To the River along with an entire choir - You will love Al’s reactions 🥰💥💫

This song is not a love song, it refers to the break up of the singing group The Bee Gees. "How Can You Mend.." was never released a single by Stax Records, later in 1978 Vogue released it as a 45 rpm. This tune was written after a breakup of the Bee Gees. “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”, originally released by The Bee Gees, was the lead single on the Bee Gees album Trafalgar. Primarily written by Barry and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees, this song was the groups first U.S. number one hit! The song was written after a period of distance between the brothers. The writing of the song helped bring the brothers back together. Billboard ranked the track as No. 5 song for the year of 1971. Lyrically, the song is genius. Its central question about how to mend a broken heart is answered in one word never actually uttered by Robin Gibb: Love. Barry and Robin wrote the song as they were bringing the band back together after the Bee Gees had split up. It really is a song about the brothers and for the brothers but it reflects the universality of sorrow being vanquished by joy, the joy of love. This most human of truths will remain a constant as long as people live. Al Green's one and only number one hit was in 1972, Al Green went to No. 1 on the US singles chart with "Let's Stay Together," his only US chart topper.
