How to Watch

It doesn't matter if a song is old or new, powerful or understated, well-known or obscure, Ball can genuinely do it all. And his soulful and effortless cover of the Al Green classic "Let's Stay Together" is something we've had on repeat all day!

Watch Ball's cover in the video further down this article. 

Ball's take on "Let's Stay Together" is truly something to behold. At times, the 26-year-old AGT: All-Stars legend brings the iconic song a refreshing, reserved tone. But at other points — especially that ending — Ball's soulful vocal chops lift the song to new heights. 

Ball has come a long way since his memorable debut on Britain's Got Talent Season 15. Many fans are in awe of his transformation over the years. However, one thing about Ball will never change: his out-of-this-world singing ability. Keep the covers coming, Tom!

Everything to know about "Let's Stay Together"

Released in 1972 on his album of the same name, "Let's Stay Together" is arguably Green's biggest hit. In fact, commercially, it is — it's the only song Green has written that's reached number one on the pop charts. "Let's Stay Together" lived atop the Billboard Hot 100 for one glorious week in February 1972.
