R.I.P. 

PERCY SLEDGE

(1941-2015)

 

Percy Sledge gave the world one of the greatest love songs of all time- “When A Man Loves A Woman”. In the decades since, it topped the charts in 1966, many have tried to emulate the R&B classic’s quality. Sledge not only delivered a powerful vocal, but he co-wrote the unforgettable song.
