"Let's Stay Together"Let's stay together
I'm, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is alright with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you
Let me say that since, baby
Since we've been together
Loving you forever Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue
Oh, baby, let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad
Why, somebody, why people break-up
Oh, turn around and make-up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me
Would you, baby?
Just being around you is all I see
Here's what I want us to do
Let's, we ought to stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Come on
Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

I love to hear Reverend Al testify with songs like this.
Markantney from Biloxe
Apr 2015, Though this is his biggest hit and an alltime Fav, this site should also add one his OTHER big hits to the list. His Remake of the Bee Gee's "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart."
Al sang that Great Pop Song of the Bee Gees and turned it into a Soul Opus.

Marlene from Montreal, Qc
Tina Turner's version is great. I was never a huge fan of hers but she did justice to that song with a very sensual, understated version.
Nicole from Plymouth, Ma
Clearly one of the best songs ever written. Al Green is the man.
Martin from Los Angeles, Ca
Al whispers the song title, "Let's Stay Together"
Dave from Van Nuys, Ca
What are the words that are whispered at the beginning of this song??
Jeff from Austin, Tx
easily one of the best vocal performances ever
Eddie from Natchez, Ms
Thanks for the timeless classic.
Johnny from Los Angeles, Ca
One of Al Greens best in my opinion (maybe all time best)
More Songfacts:
Flo Rida
An unknown Ke$ha sang on Flo-Rida's #1 hit "Right Round," but refused to appear in the video because she wanted to make a name for herself.
Enigma
"Return To Innocence" by Enigma is based on a Taiwanese chant by a husband and wife. The couple won a lawsuit granting them royalties from the song.
Ben E. King
Rob Reiner named his 1986 movie "Stand By Me" after the song, since he thought The Body, a Stephen King story on which it was based, sounded like a horror movie.

CONTEXT
This line was sung by Al Green in the song "Let's Stay Together," written by Al Green, Willie Mitchell, and Al Jackson Jr. from the album Let's Stay Together (1971).
"Let's Stay Together" is the ultimate 70s ode to eternal love, and has captured the imaginations of everyone from filmmakers like John Singleton, Kevin Smith, and Quentin Tarantino to divas like Tina Turners, and even President Barack Obama. It's a simple, gorgeous tune about staying together with your significant other through happy and sad times.
Even though he was only 26 when he co-wrote and sung "Let's Stay Together," Al Green showed a lot of wisdom in this soulful single. He understands that most romantic relationships are fleeting and that even good ones like his have trials and tribulations. But his relationship is different.
Basically, Al Green believes he can pull through this rough spot in his relationship the power of love. (Oh, wait that's another song) We've got to admire his perseverance.
WHERE YOU'VE HEARD IT
If you haven't heard this played at the wedding or vow renewal ceremony of an older friend or family member, you've heard it on TV. This song has really done the Hollywood rounds, appearing in a variety of films and TV shows, from Pulp Fiction to Hellboy. It's also the linchpin of Ben and Leslie's relationship in Parks and Rec.
Additional Notable References:
This Rolling Stone article breaks down the bitter irony of Taratino's use of the song in Pulp Fiction as the down on his luck boxer Butch (played by Bruce Willis) wants to run as far away as possible from mysterious briefcase owner and crime boss Marsellus Wallace.
President Barack Obama took the stage and sang a few bars of "Let's Stay Together" at a 2012 campaign fundraiser at the legendary Apollo Theatre. Then, he geeked out over Al Green in front of the entire crowd.
PRETENTIOUS FACTOR
If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.
If you use this quote, you better mean it, because the lyrics of this song are basically a remixed version of traditional marriage vows.
