Let's Stay Together

by Al Green

The 841st greatest album of all time

Let’s Stay Together (1972) finds Al Green delivering intimate, gospel-tinged soul marked by his distinctive falsetto, warm midtempo grooves, and spare, tasteful arrangements. Anchored in the Hi Records sound, the album blends smooth and Southern soul with pop sensibilities while retaining clear gospel inflections in the vocal delivery. The title track captures the record’s romantic, restrained mood and exemplifies the tone that became central to Green’s early 1970s work.
