4.0 out of 5 stars One of the better single-CD compilations available, January 16, 2005

This review is from: The Supreme Al Green: The Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

This import offers you some the best of the supremely smooth Al Green, the incarnation of romance, though it is missing a few wonderful tracks, like "You Ought To Be With Me," "Look What You Done For Me," and "Here I Am (Come And Take Me)." There is a domestic two-CD set, "Take Me to the River," that I also recommend as cheaper and more comprehensive. It's out of print but still available from Amazon Marketplace sellers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for all soul music fans, May 15, 2000

This review is from: The Supreme Al Green: The Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

This compilation encompasses the main part of Al Green's brilliant career. Songs like 'Let's Stay Together', 'Simply Beautiful' and 'What a Wonderful Thing Love Is' are amazing. But 'How Can You Mend a Broken Heart' is even more special. It is simply the most passionate popular song ever written. It is absolutely impossible not to be moved by it.

I am a ecletic music fan, with a vast range of interest, from Monteverdi to Beck. So I can assure you: if you appreciate music that comes from the heart, buy it now. You will be fully rewarded.
