Album Notes & Community Reviews

Breaking through to mainstream superstardom with his definitive, Willie Mitchell-produced sound, Al Green delivered a remarkably gritty yet undeniably romantic R&B classic. 'Al Green Gets Next to You' is wonderfully warm and intensely passionate, pairing highly rhythmic, deeply soulful funk grooves with beautifully lush, immensely uplifting southern soul balladry.
