Let's Stay Together.

Let’s Stay Together is a 1972 album by the soul singer Al Green, and is the follow-up to his moderate success Al Green Gets Next to You. It was recorded at Royal Recording Studio, 1320 S. Lauderdale, in Memphis and was a success, peaking at number eight on the pop albums chart and became the first of six albums to peak at number-one on the soul album chart (where it claimed the position for ten weeks). It is best known for the title track “Let’s Stay Together”, which became Green’s signature song and his only number-one pop hit single. The album was the third produced by Willie Mitchell and marked the beginning of Green’s classic period of critically acclaimed albums. Let’s Stay Together was reissued in 2003 by The Right Stuff. -Wikipedia

    The Arkansas native and his creative partner Willie Mitchell season these selections with lucid rhythm arrangements complemented by the faint strums of a guitar and brawn, unchiding horns.

  • Augie Mirror

    Let’s Stay Together is certainly an album of its time, but its aesthetics are now both what makes it charming and revelatory, and what pinpoints the universalizing human qualities underlying pop music of all points in history.
