Let's Stay Together - Song

Let’s Stay Together

was written and first released from Al Green in 1972. Tina Turner covered it in 1983 for a single, produced by Heaven 17, which was the second collaboration with them after Ball Of Confusion one year before. Unlike Al Green's version, Tina sings verse 2 first, then verse 1 when the band starts playing. The song was also included on her multi-platinum album Private Dancer and she performed it since then at every concert tour, available on numerous home video releases.
