Upon its original release in 1975,
Al Green's Greatest Hits
pretty much summed up everything about
Green
, containing his ten biggest hits up to that point. A few years later, it was followed by a second volume, which contained hit singles that had charted since the release of the first collection. In 1995,
The Right Stuff
reissued
, adding five of the highlights from the second volume of greatest hits as bonus tracks. The result was a definitive single-disc compilation, featuring 15 of
's absolute best songs, including
"Tired of Being Alone,"
"Let's Stay Together,"
"I'm Still in Love With You,"
"Call Me,"
"Here I Am,"
"Sha-La-La (Make Me Happy),"
and
"L-O-V-E (Love)."
The original version of
Greatest Hits
was great, but the revision made it nearly perfect. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
