I had the opportunity to meet him and shook his hand back in the 60 s in Tracy highschool One night only it was on an advertisement on the radio 🔘 and I took it and I lived it
Love these folks. Met them 5 times. So much fun. He ask.me if Rosa could set at our table. Well yes was the answer. Then every time we went to see him we sat up front. And she sat we us. And on our 39th anniversary he sang when a man loves a women just for us. It was thd last song he sang at all his concerts. And he call us out my name Rita And Danny.what s true gentlemen his was. Miss him.
One of the first ( black) American performers singers I ever heard while growing up in apartheid South Africa. When we came to America.. I would play (and know) every one of his songs. My mom had all his albums. His voice is engraved in my memories. Thanks for the memories Mr. Sledge. RIP 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 -Duke 🇺🇸🇿🇦
That's what you call a song and why he wrote it and why he loved that woman and why he wanted to wrap her in his warm and tender arms one word beautiful
I have always loved persey sledge and his music!!! Still can't get enough of him!!!I have been at the dark end of the street;and know when a man loves a woman!!! Thanks to Percy!!!!
Me and my two other friends in our teens used yo go at the Radio station in our town and ask them to play his songs when he was popular. We'd go crazy when his song are played.
These songs, warm and tender love, special prayer and others are so synonymous with Percy Sledge. Any other artist that sings them you can only think of Percy Sledge
Yep! It's really a shame how this man - one of the greatest *natural tenor* (no falsetto) soul balladeer of all time - was so underrated by his peers. No Grammy (not even a nomination) no Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The only known singer to attend his funeral was Dorothy Moore. RIP Percy. You will always be a legend to your fans.
@@darnright7415 It was a bit different than you describe. In 1989, the Rhythm and Blues Foundation awarded him a Lifetime Achievement Award. Sledge was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005. In 1993, the Alabama Music Hall of Fame gave him the Lifework Award. In 1994, he released the album "Blue Night", which featured musicians such as Steve Cropper and Mick Taylor. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award and won the WC Handy Award.
I grew up listening to Percy & all of Motown. I love his music. I love this with his wife. Bless her heart, you can see she is nervous. But she is good. Love this.
Thank you so much Fabeddie, I have always played & love listening to Percy Sledge songs.He has a lovely voice & also Its the first time I have ever heard his Beautiful wife Rosa sing along with her husband. Will always love his songs. I am from New Zealand.My name is Florence Kingi & live in Rotorua.
I remember sitting in a small diner when I was 15 years old the first time I heard him sing When A Man Loves A Woman. We burned a needle through that record on the jukebox every time we got a dime. I've listened to him ever since. The voice of Southern Soul. He made his mark on music in an era when the music world was ruled by British Rockers, quite an accomplishment for the time. R.I.P. and thanks for the great music.
I am sorry you don't like the video. Myself, being somewhat older, have enjoyed Percy from the start of his career. Remember, we all get older and we can never have our youth back. Percy is a great and honest performer... still in great demand throughout the world.
Age has nothing to do with great music. I'm 33 and I've loved Percy Sledge since I was a small child. He was always so underrated. Great and unique voice. He had an amazing way to tell a story through a song and make you feel everything he felt.
@@XxJustinxx88 I’m a Russian 15 y. o. teen)) Love Percy’s music since I first heard him in my early childhood.. When I first heard his song, ”When a man loves a woman”, I was just shocked by how great the vibration was, it was also the first time in my life when I heard that vocal technique - screaming but singing at the same time.. Since then I’ve enjoyed his songs a whole lot))
Oh that is so beautiful,,,,,,,,,So much Love My. My..U don’t see that kind of LOVE too often.......I am so glad and grateful I had it for 54 yrs RIP my LOVE😇✝️❤️🙏🏽🦋🧚♀️🥰😍😢🌹🧚♀️😢
Firstly, thank you for posting the video. I agree with what you say about getting older (I was born in '59 myself, and grew up to Percy's beautiful music). Will always love Percy Sledge and his great, great music. My reply to dandJRuffin aslo refers. Thanks, fabeddie!
OMG No! I loved Percy Sledge, saw him many times. RIP Percy Sledge! Updated News: It is with great sadness that we must say goodbye to a true soul legend, a humble family man, and a beautiful human being. 'The King of Slow Soul,".Percy Sledge passed away peacefully early this morning at his home in Baton Rouge Louisiana surrounded by his wife Rosa and their children after a long battle with cancer. Just short of his 75th birthday this November, Percy rose to international stardom in the early 60's when people around the world first heard his unmistakable voice on the timeless hit "When A Man Loves A Woman" and won the hearts of millions. Since then he continued to record numerous albums and perform for his legions of fans around the globe until early last year. The Sledge Family wishes to convey they are truly greatful for all the love and support from all his fans and friends. Funeral arrangements are in progress.

Für mich ist er auch der größte Sänger aller Zeiten. Ich muss nur immer weinen, wenn ich ihn höre. So schön.
Rosa is no slouch either.
These songs, warm and tender love, special prayer and others are so synonymous with Percy Sledge. Any other artist that sings them you can only think of Percy Sledge

Percy still had that beautiful voice after many years. His wife was great! They look so much in love. RIP Percy!

Hi there,how are you doing?
One of the most underrated singers of all time. Percy Sledge, great singer, great entertainer, gentleman, loving husband, and well rounded artist.
Yep! It's really a shame how this man - one of the greatest *natural tenor* (no falsetto) soul balladeer of all time - was so underrated by his peers. No Grammy (not even a nomination) no Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The only known singer to attend his funeral was Dorothy Moore. RIP Percy. You will always be a legend to your fans.
