It has been said that when the Bee Gees heard this version of their song, they said that this was how the song should be sung. Al Green is as good as it gets.

Wow -- years ago I walked into a doctor's office and they were playing the Bee Gees original version of this song. There was another patient sitting there as I came in, and I said, "I know they wrote the song and sang it first, but it belongs to Al Green." She smiled and nodded in agreement.

So true!@@misterdoe

Al Green is amazing

How Can You Mend A Broken Heart was written and originally released by the Bee Gees. The song is not talking about the heartache of losing your main squeeze as most people believe, but speaks about the agony the Brothers Gibb faced after their period of breaking up as a group and of not speaking as brothers. A sad piece of trivia - Barry Gibb once confessed that he has to live with the fact when each one of his younger brothers died, it was during a time when he wasn't speaking to them.

Not many people can do a Bee Gees cover and kill it like the Rev. Al Green.

Al Green, Bee Gees, Jose Feliciano all legends who sung this beautiful song and sung it beautifully.

You definitely have to check out Al Green's live performance of this song from 1972. That performance blows the studio version away.

Yessss it's awesome

This is not one oh Al’s biggest hits but it’s one of my favorite songs by Al. I think you should listen again. Think about heartache and pain of not wanting to live but finding a reason to live. His vocals are amazing on this . Takes you to church and preach it to you.

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL is my all time favorite of his.

This song really speaks to the heart in a gentle way to soothe you when you are dealing with loss. When you have to challenge yourself to keep moving forward. Al does that in his music as well as anyone ever has. The background instrumentals/vocals are purposely not overwhelming because they compliment Al's slow delivery. But, it is a much needed song and great in it's own way and purpose. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Al Green is definitely one of my favorite artists. He has a lot of hits but his song For The Good Times is my favorite!

Yes, the 1972 live version! He shows off his talent, his voice range and how he can wrap an audience into his spell. Also, For The Good Times.

I love the legendary Al Green, he could sing the Gettysburg address and I'd melt! This song is iconic but I think you have to have been through that kind of heartbreak to really feel it!!

This was a cover originally done by the Bee Gees. Al put his own spin on it. Some other Al Green songs that might like better are: Let's Stay Together (a bop), Love and Happiness, Look What You've Done for Me, I'm Still in Love with You. Al Green brought a gospel flair to pop music. One of the greats vocalists of all time!

Live Version is🔥🔥🔥 He's actually tame right here

Classic soul at its finest ✌🏾

This was written and recorded by the BeeGees and was their first number one song in 1971

Girl, you still have baby ears. This song is 🔥 🔥

You cannot deny pure soul music.Als vocals and backup singers brilliant.This song is a masterpiece. AlGreens style sets him apart from all others.

Listen to it live, please & thank you!

Exactly!

you have to see a video of him doing this song live ..... truly a great performer

This is a favorite of mine. I appreciate your honesty though because that what reactions should be; honest! Al was the man back in the day thugh. He definitely had his own unique style. That was what made him so special.

You need to listen to all his music i would like you to listen to for the good time that's not the only song he made

Do more Al Green and you’ll learn to appreciate this song! One of his best!

So many better Al Green songs to me... Love & Happiness, Let's Stay Together, Take Me To The River, Let's Get Married Today and others made us swoon

Ashley:. The production for this song was trademark Al Green. Willie Mitchell was the producer of most of Al Green's greatest hits. Maybe this quote from Willie Mitchell will help you understand what he was trying to do in the production of this song. "According to Mojo magazine, producer Willie Mitchell instructed the band to imagine "they were sitting by a river, a forest across the water, with all this music coming out of the forest and floating across the river, kind of delayed.""

Yes, do some more Al Green ( he's amazing )

Try "For The Good Times". "Funny How Times Slips Away" w/Lyle Lovett. Al Green is so incredible, and I LOVE him singing this song.

The LEGENDARY Iconic Mr Al Green

The great al green for the good times is my favorite

I think you really would love the live version.

Anyone who does not think this is one of the greatest sang ballads in history has their ears in their butt.

His greatest hits album is a must own

Al Green will get you keep listening👍🏾💯😊

What a voice!

Back Up the Train...one of All Green's first hits is what got me. You probably will like Love and Happiness (up beat), Let's stay Together, or For the Good Tims.

You should react to his Live performance to this song. It is awesome!! You will hear how he puts his feelings into the song.

Exactly!

You’re going to have to react to the original with The Bee Gees. I love Al Green’s voice but to really appreciate the beauty of the song you have to listen to The Bee Gees the writers of this song. It came out in 1971 by very young Bee Gees and became their first #1 hit for them in the US. ❤❤❤

When you get a chance watch the live version 1971 or 72, my preference. Also the live version of For The Good Times on Soul train. Thing is Al is going to take his time to sing a song. He wants you to hang on every word.

Al Green will take you to church Sista!😂

Try the live version but he has some more that’s you would like. Love and happiness. Let’s stay together and for the good times.

Al was one of the greatest pure singers and entertainers of all time. You should check out "Simply Beautiful", "Love and Happiness", "What a Wonderful Thing Love Is", "Look What You Done for Me", "For the Good Times", "Guilty", "I'm Glad Your Mine". His "I'm Still In Love With You" is one of the greatest albums ever released. I would put it up their with "Thriller" and other greats. In fact in my opinion it was better.

There is a LIVE version that is much better. Al's facial emotions when singing made his songs iconic.

Oh, people who have experienced real broken hearts be really feeling this. It's not about reacting violently, or wanting to commit suicide, but just plain being under control dealing with hurt heart issues. Much tougher for people of today's time.❤

I know it's been awhile but had you listened to the Al Green broken heart live rendition totally different Vibe 🎉

Baby gurrrrrrrrrrl...This Man blessed this raggedy world with his gifted instrument...His Vocals. You must see these OG's live. Period 💐🎤✊🏽❤ Rest In Paradise Mr. Green.

I can appreciate your honest opinion. Some songs take listening to them a couple times for it to grow on you but as another person commented, Al Green is as good as gets.

New Birth was a classic group consisting of smaller parts (similar to P Funk). Their band was called the Nite-Liters who had plenty of hits.

Back then, people sang to capture the mood of the song and music. You have to have some finesse! You can't go vocally crazy all the time. If you didn't like that, try Al singing this song live!

watch his live performance of this

Ohhwee the Champion Sweater 💯🥰

In fairness to the Right Rev. Al check out Let's Stay Together and some of the other songs on his Greatest Hits album. If you still aren't feeling him after that the alright.

you have to hear it live

You should react to his live performance to this song on soul train cause he really killed it fr

The live version is so much better even though this is amazing.

Facts!

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.

Yes, Ashley, Al Green is the man. My mom grew up in the church, only listened to gospel music, but there was one person she loved, Al Green. People like who they like, so I'm not going to bring any smoke.

Watch his videos. Makes a big difference.

It's my 1st time on your channel. This is not that kind of song, Lil Sis! The song is melancholy. Just like you're gonna give Al Green another chance so will I of your channel. I'm gonna watch some of your other videos.😊

Tha jam!

Sister Ashley, you need to do the live version from 1972 of this song.

It's always good to be honest. Al always did a soul version of a Pop or Country song on his albums. This was for people who were familiar with The Bee Gees song. A slow jam that grow to be a classic for him but not every song back in the day can hit every time. You have great taste and I'll trust you'll learn to love them in time.

Listen to the live version

Yeah you need to do some more eldraine I'll go in as one of the greats. And that song one of his greatest😊

The Prince Of Soul...woman!!!

This is real soul music that's y u can't get into it young people don't have that 70s soul this was of the greatest songs of all time

Please listen to his live performance of this!

Ashley!!!! Do a reaction to Al Greene singing his song called For the Good Times. Compare it to Al's version of How Can You Mend a Broken Heart.

One of those written by the Bee Gees. I love Al Green. What a combination.

You got to do Al Green For the Good Times!

Al green "love and happiness" next pweeeeeease x 😁

Isaac Hayes- walk on by

Al Green has soul in every cell but on this one, they're trying to do a gospel slowdance deal. "Let's Stay Together" is real Al Green..imo.

Radiohead - Nude If you havent already heard it. If im not mistaken, the song had taken inspiration from this very track, to create the feel of Nude. Hope you get to it someday, Ill be there

Hell yes! That Baby Making Music Baby Girl!

Great remake

Ashley it's ok. Us old heads know this church music mixed with the blues.

Should have checked out the live performance. That would have been a hell of an experience for you.

Some music especially slow jams have to grow on some people. This song was originally done by the Bee Gees'

Gran video 🤟❤😎

I like your honest critique but I think Al Green's singing embodies the lyrics perfectly. Listen to , " For the Good Times"

I don't understand. This song was written specifically to showcase the outstanding harmonies of the Bee Gees. Barry and Robin Gibb wrote it with this in mind. Al Green's version is like comparing an AMC Pacer with a Ferrari.

I respect ur honesty.....on this song, u dont get the full AL Green effect. It is one of my favs by him though.

Wow those days are long gone

Chicago, Color My World

I would love to hear you react to Aaron Neville tell it like it is I think he would absolutely love that and it would leave you speechless

Gotta get more Al Green!!

L O V E spells Love one of his more up tempo songs.

He was the Luther Vandross of the 70s.

Uh oh.. Al Green.. the best of the best

Need to listen to Live version

Was listening to Al back in the 70s. This song was good but,... Listen to "Pretty Woman"

Ashley, have you heard the BEEGEES sing this song? FIRE+

It's an ultimately melancholy song!!Written by the BeeGees

Ashley have you heard 'you're still a young man' by a group by the name of tower of power? I think you might like it.

Al brought that country soul of a preacher man to a song originally written and sung by the BeeGees after their younger brother Andy, the unofficial fourth member of the group, passed away. You'll get a better appreciation of Al on songs like "Love & Happiness" and "Let's Stay Together"

WRONG, the Bee Gees wrote this song after the break of the group, when Robin leaved the band and they came together again. At this time Andy was at this time 13 and ALIVE!!!

Al Green singing Let's Stay Together is one of my favorites. But I prefer the Bee Gees original of this song.
