OT: Percy Sledge died today

[bbqbully]

I saw him numerous times but his last show in Jackson a couple of years ago was sad. He was old, sick and a shadow of his former self. RIP Percy.

How many times I have dance to "When a Man Loves a Woman". He was great. Actually saw him at Country Music Palace.

Mid 70's at the old Zodiac club in Mart 51

Percy Sledge and the Sledgehammer Band. He was loud, proud, and could sure draw a crowd. Great memories. RIP Percy

A fantastic backstory on him and other 60s-70s legends including the Stones is available to watch on Netflix, called Muscle Shoals. A great watch if you love music from back in the day. Was kinda disappointed that they never mentioned my favorite country group of all time, Sawyer Brown, actually made most of their hits there also.

Loved that place, I can still remember the shag carpet sticking to my feet every

step I took and I was rocking a mean jump suit.

Percy was great, one of my favorite songs was "Take Time to Know Her".

For my money, I don't know if it gets any better than when he sings "When a Man Loves a Woman."

I watched that documentary and liked it a lot. Percy was way before my time but my Mom was a big fan. So, I spent countless hours listening to Percy.
