"Tired of Being Alone" is a soul song written by Al Green that became popular in the early 1970s and remains popular to this day, being a score in popular shows such as ''Nip/Tuck''. It reached #11 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and # 7 on the Hot Soul Singles Chart. ''Billboard'' ranked it as the No. 12 song for 1971.〔Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1971〕 Though released on the 1971 album, ''Al Green Gets Next to You'', the song was written in late 1968 and intended to be released on the 1969 album, ''Green Is Blues''. Problems occurred with the first recording, so it was postponed for production. It was altered and perfected the second time around. "Tired of Being Alone" was produced and recorded by Willie Mitchell at Hi Records and mixed by Mitchell and Terry Manning. In 1973, Green performed the song with Chicago on the TV special ''Chicago in the Rockies''. In 2002, this recording appeared as a bonus track on the remastered version of Chicago VI. In 2004, Green's version was ranked #293 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The RS 500 Greatest Songs of All Time )〕 ==Texas version== In 1992 Scottish band Texas covered "Tired of Being Alone", which became a substantial hit in the United Kingdom, reaching no. 19 on the official UK Singles Chart.
