IMPRESSIONS: The King of Cool and the Sultan of Soul! "As silken as bedsheets and as soft as a mattress..." in the words of author Robert Gordon. This album contains three of my all-time favourite Al Green songs: the exquisite title track and "Love and Happiness" as well as a breathtaking cover of Kris Kristofferson's "For the Good Times".

MY FAVOURITE TRACKS: I'm Still In Love With You, Love and Happiness, What A Wonderful Thing Love Is, Simply Beautiful, Oh Pretty Woman, For the Good Times, Look What You Done For Me, One of These Good Old Days
