A song is not S-Tier if it's not your type of music/song, even if the quality of the song is S. That will knock it down to A+ or A depending on your taste. It's like an opera singer killing it and it still won't make your playlist.

Maybe a little more slick and corporate. But the funny thing is you can go back to hit charts from any era and find a lot of mediocre songs. The chart-toppers have never been good on average, just the infrequent gems. It is also human nature for old folks to say "well, back in my day...."

If this isn't S-tier soul, then you need to have your head examined. Most of Al's earliest hits were recorded at a Willie Mitchell's Royal Studio in Memphis. I absolutely love the dry, live no-effect intimacy of the recordings, as if the band is actually in your living room. For more of the same vibe, try "I'm Still In Love With You", "Let's Stay Together", "Look What You've Done for Me", and his cover of the Bee Gees' "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart". Simply smouldering, smoky soul.

Al Green's run from from late 1971 into 1973 featured four other S-tier (or A-plus) soul 45s: "Let's Stay Together", "Look What You Done for Me," "I'm Still in Love With You" and "You Ought to Be With Me." Green was so deep in the pocket during that run that he rejected a No. 1 record that was offered to him by Sylvia Robinson ("Pillow Talk"). He passed on it because he thought it was TOO sexy. Green was and is a great live performer.

Al Green’s church was (is) really close to Graceland in the Whitehaven area of Memphis. One of my best friends had a two visit policy for out- of-towners. She’d take them to Graceland, but only on Sundays after they went to Al Green’s church first. She was onto something good. I went with her, too, and it was fabulous. Al was other worldly and extremely worldly all at once. Lots of fainting in the aisles. Memphis is the same way. Can’t explain it, but it is.
