Al Green – Al Green Is Love

Al Green – Al Green Is Love

A smooth and deeply soulful late-1970s release from one of the defining voices of classic soul music, Al Green Is Love captures Al Green balancing romance, spirituality, and irresistible groove with effortless style.

By this stage in his career, Green was increasingly blending his signature Memphis soul sound with gospel influences and lush contemporary production, creating music that feels warm, intimate, and emotionally rich. His unmistakable falsetto remains front and centre throughout the album - tender, expressive, and instantly recognisable.

Tracks like “L-O-V-E (Love)” and “Love Ritual” deliver the silky rhythms and heartfelt melodies fans expect, while the expansive “The Love Sermon” and “I Didn’t Know” showcase Green’s ability to move seamlessly between soulful devotion and spiritual intensity. Even the quieter moments carry a relaxed elegance that made him one of the most influential soul singers of his era.

Filled with lush arrangements, subtle funk grooves, and heartfelt vocal performances, Al Green Is Love is an essential listen for fans of classic Southern soul and vintage R&B.
