Two years before he blasted out his Greatest Hits in 1975, Al Green released Call Me - a sumptuous chunk of Memphis soul. Including renditions of heartrending country ballads So Lonesome I Could Cry by Hank Williams and Funny How Time Slips Away by Willie Nelson, it also includes world-beating originals such as You Ought To Be With Me, which was later sampled by Ghostface Killah on his debut album Ironman. Here I Am (Come And Take Me) and Call Me (Come Back Home) were top ten hits on the Billboard Chart, and it was the third soul record to reach number one on the album charts.
