![]() ![]() When released, the album received universal critical acclaim fifty years later, I’m Still in Love with You still holds up. Green even puts a nice on two country songs, “For The Good Times” and “Oh, Pretty Woman,” turning them into R&B bops. “One of These Good Old Days” is about the joys of life, and “I’m Glad You’re Mine” smoothly pays homage to a significant other. “Simply Beautiful” is an ode to seduction. The remainder of the album explores topics Green has touched on before, but the songs never appear repetitive. How love can make you do things you would have never done otherwise, and how happiness and love can’t always go hand in hand, though having both can be powerful. However, as I’ve gotten older, I like to think that the song “Love and Happiness” talks about the ups and downs of a relationship with someone. In the simplest of terms, the song is about fidelity. The duo had previous success with the songs “Take Me to the River,” “Here I Am (Come and Take Me), and ” “Full of Fire.” The final single from I’m Still in Love with You was “Love and Happiness.” From a writing standpoint, the song was a reunion, as Green worked with Teenie Hodges again. In other words, this is a song of reassurance after years of commitment. The song exemplifies that feeling you get when you have a genuine connection that will never fade away. Naturally, you have ups and downs, but the love for your spouse doesn’t fade away. After being married for fourteen years, hearing a song like “I’m Still in Love with You” is a testament to the power of true love. Maybe they’ve hit a rough patch, but Al is choosing to stay. Al has his lady back, and they have been together for a while now. “I’m Still in Love with You” was the second single and served as some of what of a precursor to the album’s first single. When you see, she’s the right one, your emotions for her strip away any cynicism toward love. He wants the male listeners to know how to express passionate feelings for your lady. Green could even put forward his proposal in a careful, sincere manner. However, As I see it with this song, Al is fighting against his alpha male tendencies as he wants to convey to his lady that he is subconsciously/unwittingly committing to her. The first single from I’m Still in Love with You was “Look What You Done for Me. In addition, it was the second album in Green’s classic period of critically acclaimed albums. Green once again collaborated with Willie Mitchell as the sole producer for this album. However, given the work ethic of soul singers in the seventies, it was common to release two projects in the same year. Green had released Let’s Stay Together earlier that year. British electronic duo Disclosure created a remix of the song entitled "Feel Like I Do".Al Green was already an established force in music when his fifth album, I’m Still in Love with You, hit record stores on October 23, 1972. Seal recorded a cover of this song for his 2008 album Soul.Sure! covered the song for the soundtrack to the 1994 basketball film Above the Rim. It peaked at #9 on the Hot Black Singles chart and #3 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. Meli'sa Morgan recorded a version of this song, titled "Still in Love with You", for her 1992 album of the same title.It would eventually sell over one million copies and is considered one of his most popular songs. It also peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart that same year. Released from the album of the same title, the single spent two weeks at #1 on the Hot Soul Singles chart in August 1972.
