Description :
From 1972 featuring the hit title track and much more.Review - Amazon.com essential recording :
Following up Let's Stay Together, this is one of Green's greatest long-players. Southern soul's most eccentric stylist never sang more sensuously than he did on "Simply Beautiful,"" or on the six-and-a-half-minute country-soul meditation that is Kris Kristofferson's "For The Good Times."" Nor did the Hi house band sound more crisply funky than on mid-tempo beauties like the title track, "Love and Happiness," or "Look What You Done For Me." As rough-hewn as it is, the sound Green and his producer Willie Mitchell craft is still mighty hard to beat. --Barney HoskynsCustomer review - 1999-01-02
- Simply BeautifulNo doubt, this is THE Al Green album. When I first got hip to Mr. Green this was the one that did it. And what an album it is! My personal favorite is "What a Wonderful Thing Love Is". When he enters the song's break singing for the first time in falsetto "...with you..." it just about breaks your heart. Songs like this one make it hard to remain cynical about love. The rest of the album doesn't have a single weak song either. "Simply Beautiful" is quite likely the most delicate song ever put on wax. When it's time to put the lights down low this track is about as good as it gets. "Love and Happiness" and "I'm Still In Love With You" will probably already be familliar to the average R & B fan but suffer nothing in repeated listening. Customer review - 2002-10-21
- Just ListenListening to this album is an amazing and intense emotional musical experience from start to finish. There is not a song on the album that lags in any way and pretty much every song is as enjoyable as the singles from this album.
Nobody has a voice as powerful, intense, nuanced, and emotional as Al Green, and the production and arrangements on this album are flawless. The horn section is important, but not bombastic. The fact that this album remains relevant and beautiful after 30 years just makes me happy, and i'm only 20 years old. So people of all ages, if you don't own this album, get it as soon as you can.

- Green Stills RulesI'm Still In Love With You contains some of the most underrated songs in Al Green's catalog. "Simply Beautiful" contains one his best vocals and should have been released as a single as it could have been a big hit. "Love & Happiness" and the title track are the two hits from the album and are excellent. He follows Ray Charles' lead by combining country and soul on "For The Good Times", "Look What You done For Me" and "One Of These Good Old Days".

- AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC. SOULFUL LOVE & GROOVE AT BESTThis album is amazing! Every track is good but most are Al at his excellent best. 'Simply Beautiful' has to be one of the best, little know, Love songs of all time. Put this album on when your with your Lover and you'll be as full of fire as Al obviously is.
