I’m Still in Love With You by Al Green

I'm Still in Love with You, Al Green's fifth album, came out on Hi Records on October 23, 1972, and it's Memphis soul at its most seductive. Willie Mitchell produced, and Green does more with a murmur than most singers manage with a scream: the grooves are taut and unhurried, and that voice glides over them like it has all night.

"Love and Happiness" is the slow burn, a church-tinged vamp that simmers until it boils over, while the title track and "Look What You Done for Me" both went top five on the pop chart. The drum break that opens "I'm Glad You're Mine" has since been sampled more than 200 times, The Notorious B.I.G. and Eminem's "Dead Wrong" among them. The album topped the R&B chart, reached number four on the Billboard 200, and keeps turning up on Rolling Stone's lists of the greatest albums ever made.
