That's very sad news indeed.
Al Green has always been 'my man' and Willie was instrumental in Al's early 'sound'.
The passing of a rare musical genius.
It seems even more poignant as he was 81 - the same age as my mother would have been today.

Digdeep, I think your c+p was playing up on 'That Driving Beat', this is the link to it:

I haven't heard any of those before, but you can certainly hear the Willie Mitchell 'sound' in all three.

This is 'Make No Mistake' by Keith Richards, produced by Willie, with his unmistakable 'sound'.
A great song:
