I am an almost 76 year old and the song A change is Gonna Come is still one of my favorite R&B Songs. AL Green is the best.

[jackvolta]

This version is one of the best renditions of Sam Cooke's original.
I bet Sam Cooke himself is smiling ear to ear when he hears this! Al Green surely put a whole load of respect into this versíon. This has become one of my favorite songs and there's no better way to listen to it except the louder the volume, the better it sounds. Simply awesome!

[Hun_Uinaq]

Brings a tear to my eye even today. Sam Cook would’ve been proud. He did his song justice. Just knocked that song out of the park! Beautiful rendition. So emotional. Sung so beautifully and didn’t miss a single beat. Al is one of the best.

AI GREEN HAS ALWAYS SANG FROM THE DEPTHS OF HIS SOUL, I THANK GOD FOR SHARING HIS GIFT WITH US

[cindyking]

Love his voice.This song has never, ever been more relevant than now

[EssexKing]

All my life I thought this was Al Green’s song
Shows how great he is

[Pneuma]

The most amazing thing about this performance is that you can tell he’s very much in the moment as if he’s all by himself. There’s an audience in front of him and a band behind him, but the way he’s digging deep inside his heart and soul it’s as if he’s alone, not caring about anyone or anything around him as he pours his heart out to God...

[debbieedwards]

Ain't nothing better than this performance. I could just cry. So great!

[renatinhomarcilia]

If you don't get emotional you are empty inside.

I used to stock shelves at Meijers in Holland MI. Whenever this Al Green cover played over the Musac machine shoppers would just stop dead in the isles and listen. Suddenly you could hear a pin drop. This would last for the entire song. The Truth lands in all cultures. One day we will become the Beloved Community.

Al is such a Showman.The facial expression he gave when he took his shades off is priceless.He always had fun performing

[amywood]

Woooo🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥straight fire. If that dont move you...check your soul

[stevemichaels]

This is by far the best live performance I’ve ever seen, Al green is an amazingly incredible singer. Someone called him the last great soul singer to come out of the south, I’m the biggest Sam Cooke fan. But Al green is extremely close 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤❤

Considering he was almost 50 yrs old during this performance, his voice was still as immaculate as before. Needed this upload in these tough times. Thank you for posting and thank you to Al Green for sharing his amazing and powerful voice to the world!

[elizabethilling]

dear God! Al is not just singing with strong emotion. The spirit of God is in him. The change is coming, but we will suffer a little longer. Do not give up. Pray Psalm 91 every day and Almighty God will bring you through it.
