I don't know why exactly, but something about Al Green's voice makes me feel less alone, less like emotional black holes would suck me right in if I weren't more careful.Though I have loved the Bee Gees since I was a little girl, it was always Al Green's cover of "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?" that truly got to me. It is so deep and rich and, if you're listening to it during a particular trying time, his voice seems to envelope your soul in warmth and comfort.
A writer for Q music magazine once referred to Al Green as the "authentic voice of love's pain and purity on such wonders as "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?" and that "his cover took the soul ballad to new levels of artistry and refinement."
