Percy Sledge died today. He was 74. RIP :(
A mighty talent and a sweet man too. http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/m...tion/25767849/
Great talent. RIP Percy
Percy was in the excellent 2013 documentary "Muscle Shoals;" I just watched it last night.
I'm very late on this, but I want express my condolences to the friends and family on the passing of Percy Sledge. His rendition of When a Man Loves a Woman is one of the most soulful R & B songs ever recorded, IMO.
R.I.P. Percy
He sang everything with deep feeling and soul, including country songs. It was remarkable to read that the tune to "When a Man Loves a Woman" is one that he'd been singing all his life - he sang it to comfort himself when he was a child and later when he was in the fields, working. Some people are destined to bring certain songs into the world.
One of my all-time favorite albums, every song is great: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...pszxaao21h.jpg
I love, love, love "When a Man Loves a Woman"! And for me, no one could sing it like Percy Sledge. One of my all time favorite songs!
I will have to get this album. Thanks for sharing NMB! :thumbsup:
My sympathies to his family and friends. RIP Mr. Sledge.
Again, sad news that Percy Sledge has passed away at the age of 74 from cancer, RIP Percy and thanks for the music
RIP, Percy.
