I stumbled on this recording partly for the bargain price and partly for the love of Al Green's clear heavenly falsetto, the realest falsetto I've ever heard. As a white guy sixties-vintage jazz/rocker, my association with gospel came later in life, so it's not a genre I know well. I do know that listening to this CD makes me happy. And so does relistening, and relistening again often. If "Let's Stay Together" pretty much sums up the type of soul you've heard from Rev. Green, then you owe it to yourself to hear him crooning beautifully from a place even deeper down in his soul then romantic love. I can't imagine a better place to start than with this CD. Try it and get happy.

The songs are great but the cd sounds as if it was recorded from an isolated distance. The sound quality is very poor.

If you like old fashion gospel, this is a great cd. I just found that it wasn't re-mastered very well. It recorded low and I had to up the volume on my stereo to get a good sound.

I had this "cassette tape" (yes, I'm that old!) ages ago and burned through two copies because I just didn't tire of his voice and the amazing way he updated some old hymns! He brought them current while still giving them the respect they deserve. It wasn't recorded the best, I'll agree, but the passion, love and joy comes shining through anyway! Buy it! You won't be disappointed!

Al Green at his best. I could listen to him sing gospel every day. This is a wonderful gospel CD. Nobody does it like Al Green. Wonderful.

This was an item my sister had been looking for for years without success.

I was able to locate it thru the internet using Amazon.com and purchased a copy of Glory to His Name by Al Green, which made her very happy. As a consequence I have purchased a few more as gifts for my friends, and we have been enjoying his wonderful singing and inspiration very much.
