he sticks pretty closely to the original arrangement but I don't see how anyone could fault his delivery

Really, "To Love Somebody" could be its own thread...

I'm not faulting his delivery -- to me, it's perfectly fine, if maybe a bit by-the-numbers for Reverend Al. But while his take has never knocked me out, the Bee Gees version features just about my favorite ensemble vocal the group ever did.

Yup -- totally forgot the Flying Burritos' version. Definitely my favorite.

five years pass...

The Bee Gees' version of "I Can't Have You" is tremendous!

Has James Carr version of “To Love Somebody” been posted yet?

everybody knows Al Green's "How Do You Mend a Broken Heart" right...?

This is great. Heard it recently and got into a dispute with guy sitting next to me at bar who said Al Green had passed and proceeded to “prove” this by googling “Al Green dead.”

Also very recently got confused when I thought this was playing but it turned out to be his cover of “For The Good Times.”
