Percy Sledge

I was saddened to learn that Percy Sledge died today. We all remember "When a Man Loves A Woman". He co-wrote and recorded in Muscle Shoals,
Alabama. I am glad I still have his music to listen to.

Rest peacefully Percy, you'll never be forgotten.

Great picture Shirley, is that you with Percy?

 

[Shirley]

Especially when he sings it just for you.

Yes. Me and my son. Happy memories.

Awesome Shirley, that's wonderful. I am saddened by the news of his death, emotional day for many.

Well, like Hank Williams said, ♫We'll never get out of this world alive.♫

Oh no, sorry to hear this. Just danced to "When a Man Loves A Woman" last Friday at a wedding outside Raleigh, NC. First time was in '66 or '67 at a teen dance center.

A real classic - danced to it at high school sock hops in the 60s.
