User Reviews: Al Green's Greatest Hits
Belle
Pros: Now This is a Greatest Hits Collection!!
Cons: None
I said this before, Al Green has a voice unlike any other in the history of music. Unique and flawless.
This CD contains the track "Belle." If you have never heard this song before, here is a man telling his woman that she is the one he wants, but it's the Lord that he needs. Too smooth! And he does it without hurting the woman's feelings.
Ever other track is the typical songs you would expect to see in an Al Green collection.

The sublimely unique and timeless productions of Willie Mitchell at Hi Records, all with marvelous musicianship, and one amazing voice made Al Green demand the title of The Last Great Soul Singer. A greatest hits collection is meant to be just that. Not overkill, but more of an introductory album to turn people on, so they in turn, dive into the vaults to get all they can. In that sense, this is the best greatest hits package I have ever seen. Theres only one disappointing omission in Take Me To the River. The marvelous musicianship comes courtesy of the unequaled Memphis Horns of Stax Records (Otis Redding, Sam & Dave) fame. The Hi rhythm section consisted of three brothers, Charles Hodges on organ, Leroy Hodges on bass, and Mabon Teenie Hodges on guitar. And these gentlemen play like brothers. The telepathic interplay between these wonderful studio rats is rivaled only by cross town session legends, the mighty Stax house band, Booker T. & the MGs. The secret ingredient of these soul masterpieces may be in fact, Booker T. & the MGs drummer, Al Jackson, Jr., whose infectious grooves are utterly contagious. Nowhere does this masterful combination gel better than on Love and Happiness, co-written by Green and guitarist, Teenie Hodges. All four musicians are so perfect, yet so soulful, the horn arrangements are spectacular, and lets not forget, the last great soul singer. There are also bonus tracks, including Belle, an admittingly touching and inspiring song, where Greens conscience wavers between a woman, Belle, and God. One cant help but draw the metaphors in the song to Green soon after going from Here I am, baby to Here I am, Lord. This is a must have collection.
