Let's Stay Together - Al Green - MP3 instrumental karaoke

From its origins as an early-70s soul classic to its various pop culture-fueled revivals throughout the decades, Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” is an undeniably enduring piece of music. Written by Al Green, Al Jackson Jr., and Willie Mitchell (who also served as the producer), the song was first released as a single in 1971 and became a massive success, reaching Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and staying on the chart for 16 weeks. It became a career-defining staple for Al Green, whose soulful vocal performance was praised as providing the song’s romantic lyrics an added poignancy. The song would go on to appear on many films and television shows over the years, most notably Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 hit film Pulp Fiction. It has also been covered by many artists over the years, such as Tina Turner, Roberta Flack, Seal, Maroon 5, and many others. Notably, US President Barack Obama sang a brief portion of the song during a 2012 fundraiser event that featured Al Green as a musical artist, which prompted another spike in sales for the then-40-year-old single.
