Watched the Lincoln Center honors on tv tonight with the family. Many odd moments, but a snippet of this song during the honoring of Al Green was a reminder of how great this sacred and profane slow jam is.
Is Al Green to our generation what Johnny Mathis was a generation before? And, i don’t mean that as an insult: before Dark Side of the Moon, the all time Billboard 100 album champ for consecutive weeks on the list was Johnny Mathis’ Greatest Hits. not that that is an endorsement, either, but hey he sold a shitload of records.
