Love and happiness...
something that can make you do wrong, make you do right...
Love...
Love and happiness
Wait a minute...
something's going wrong
someone's on the phone
three o'clock in the morning
talkin' about how she can make it right
well,
happiness is when you really feel good with somebody
nothing wrong with being in one with someone
oh, baby, love and happiness
love and happiness...
love and happiness...
Love and happiness
You be good to me
I'll be good to you
we'll be together
we'll see each other
walk away with victory
oh baby,
love and happiness...
love and happiness...
Make you do right... love'll make you do wrong...
make you come home early...
make you stay out all night long...
the power of love...
wait a minute,
let me tell you...
the power of love...
make you do right... love'll make you do wrong...
make you want to dance...
love and happiness...
love and happiness...
love is... wait a minute... love is...
walkin' together...
talkin' together...
say it again...
say it together...
Mmmm....

There are many reasons why a popular radio-aired LP track isn't released as a single; the record label may not want to take any attention away from the single. One of Al Green's best recordings, "Love and Happiness," was never issued as a single when it was receiving massive airplay. From a purely business standpoint, it's somewhat understandable. It was included on the sensational 1972 platinum LP I'm Still in Love With You which yielded the gold R&B/ pop chart-topping title track, another gold Top Ten hit, "Look What You've Done for Me," and a tantalizing cover of "For the Good Times." Still, "Love and Happiness" is one of Green's classic recordings. It squarely points back to the singer's gospel roots. Written by Green, producer Willie Mitchell, and Stax Records drummer Al Jackson Jr., it was another great song from the trio who wrote the bulk of Green's hits. The intro is reflective of the climax-building style of black Baptist preachers' sermons, using the sparse interplay of Green's reflective vocal inflections and accenting musical riffs. Then the singer counts off into in a mid-tempo organ-dominated, horn-laced groove which is punctuated with background vocals that recall the call-and-response method of a preacher and a responding church choir. Finally, in the breakdown section, Green "testifies" to the power of love. Just like First Choice's "Let No Man Put Asunder," it was years before (and years after Green's hit-making heyday) "Love and Happiness" was released as a single, where it peaked at number 92 R&B and number 104 pop in summer 1977. No matter, it became a long-standing favorite on radio station play lists for years

Al Green, in my opinion is the last great soul singer. His music is great!!! These lyrics are great too, thanks!!! I would like to say "Love and Happiness," is one of my favorite songs, and I would like to see an artist of today make a hit out of it, or another Al Green song.
