Al Green - Greatest Hits Album Details

Released in 1975, Greatest Hits is the definitive collection of Al Green's peak-era soul music and a perfect encapsulation of his smooth, seductive sound. Compiling ten of his most iconic tracks from the early 1970s, the album is a masterclass in Memphis soul. It features Green's silky falsetto, tight grooves, and the warm, organic production of Willie Mitchell at Hi Records. The compilation became a benchmark for soul music anthologies and remains one of the most acclaimed greatest hits albums of all time.

With timeless songs like "Let's Stay Together", "Tired of Being Alone", and "Call Me (Come Back Home)" the album captures Green's unmatched ability to express vulnerability, passion, and spiritual yearning within the same breath. It's not just a collection of chart-toppers, it's a snapshot of a golden era in soul, where every track flows with intimacy, elegance, and emotional depth. Greatest Hits showcases Al Green at the absolute height of his powers, and its influence resonates across generations of R&B, pop, and neo-soul artists.
