Al Green : How Do You Mend A Broken
Heart
Al Green's debut album with Hi Records was
Green Is Blues, a slow, horn-driven album that allowed Green to
show off his powerful and expressive voice, with Mitchell
arranging, engineering and producing. The album was a moderate
success. The next LP, Al Green Gets Next to You (1970), was a
massive success that included four gold singles as Green
developed his vocal and songwriting talents.
Let's Stay Together (1972) was an even bigger success, as
was I'm Still In Love With You (1972). Call Me was a critical
sensation and just as popular at the time; it is one of his
most fondly remembered albums today. Al Green Explores Your
Mind (1974) contained the song "Take Me to the River", later
covered by the Talking Heads on their second album.
