Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 306/500!
A classic Al Green title remastered and pressed on 180g Vinyl!
"I'm Still In Love With You" was released in 1972 and in 2020, the album was ranked number 306 on Rolling Stone's list of 500 greatest albums of all time. The album features the hit title track as well as "Look What You Done For Me".
Al Green was the first great soul singer of the '70s and arguably the last great Southern soul singer. With his seductive singles for Hi Records in the early '70s, Green bridged the gap between deep soul and smooth Philadelphia soul. He incorporated elements of gospel, interjecting his performances with wild moans and wails, but his records were stylish, boasting immaculate productions that rolled along with a tight beat, sexy backing vocals, and lush strings. The distinctive Hi Records sound that the vocalist and producer Willie Mitchell developed made Al Green the most popular and influential soul singer of the early 1970s, influencing not only his contemporaries, but also veterans like Marvin Gaye. Green was at the peak of his popularity when he suddenly decided to join the ministry in the mid-'70s. At first, he continued to record secular material, but by the '80s, he was concentrating solely on gospel. During the late '80s and '90s, he occasionally returned to R&B, but he remained primarily a religious performer for the rest of his career. Nevertheless, Green's classic early '70s recordings retained their power and influence throughout the decades, setting the standard for smooth soul.
"After topping the R&B and pop charts with Let's Stay Together, Green released his second LP of that year, one that was even more sensual than its predecessor. "Love and Happiness" is a slow-building masterpiece: His band provided the subtle groove; Green added a mountain of soul." - www.rollingstone.com
