RIP Percy Sledge

With all due respect, we only need one of these threads.
 
for me, this is very sad news, when i was in my teens, i think i bought about 4 or 5 of his albums,, still have them..RIP percy
 
How time flies - he's younger than Patrick Stewart!

The departed Mr. Sledge wrote the lyrics to the song after his gf left him. He'd been laid off from his construction job and she saw no need to continue the relationship. He didn't miss a beat, he's survived by 12 children. Unfortunately he didn't get his due royalties from the song, he signed away his copyrights to the two men who wrote the music.

He was amazingly talented :-)

Regardless, his music will continue to live on. I love, love Cover Me (many reggae renditions to this song as well)
