0015: Al Green: Simply Beautiful

The first time I recall hearing this song was when Maxwell returned to the spotlight at the 2008 BET Awards and covered this Al Green classic. I don't know how I could let a bearskin-rug song like this slip past my radar.

Al Green is the master of wails. Soulful, unintelligible sounds, replete with desire and admiration. It's as if he couldn't find the words for what he wanted to say but also couldn't hold it in any longer. He may not be saying anything per se, but you know what he's talking about. 

Damn. I've got plans for this song.

Simply Beautiful.
