Songfacts®:

  • Written by Al Green, Willie Mitchell and Al Jackson Jr., this romantic affirmation of love topped the US Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart for two weeks in April 1972.
  • Seal covered this song, along with "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)" on his 2008 album Soul.
  • Al B Sure! performed this song for the 2004 drama Above the Rim, starring Tupac Shakur.
  • Green remembered the I'm Still in Love with You album cover in his 2000 autobiography, Take Me to the River: "In my white turtleneck, white patent leather shoes with the stacked heels and just a touch of diamond and gold, I was as cool and in control as the music between that cover."
  • In 2012, during a re-election campaign stop at the Apollo Theatre in New York, President Barack Obama arrived late and was disappointed to have missed Al Green performing. When he took the podium, he improvised a few bars of "I'm Still in Love with You," revealing an impressive vocal range and turning it into a love song for the nation. "He nailed it!," Green later exclaimed.
