Great voice, and great song.

And Michael Bolton’s version still bites.

My first dance with a girl was to When A Loves A Woman at a 7th grade “prom”.

Would a song with these lyrics be allowed in today’s hyper-sensitive, homofascist climate?

RIP Mr. Sledge.

I wondered what became of him recently. We are losing legends. I saw him on a old SNL from 1986 with Bill Murray Hosting recently.

My wife and I were shocked this morning, hearing the local (Macon, GA) news. With so much to say about this man, what did they feature?

That when Sledge moved to Macon, he bought a home in a predominantly white neighborhood, and the home burned to the ground under suspicious circumstances before he could move in.

I watched this documentary film on Netflix a couple of months back. Very interesting to watch. Percy was one of the earliest success stories of the Mussel Shoals sound...
