Ladies and Gentlemen,

"When a Man Loves A Woman" by Percy Sledge, one of the legendary great recordings of all time. Many thanks Percy.

God keep you,

Merlot

Best known, obviously, for When a Man Loves a Woman but many other greats also such as Warm and Tender Love, It Tears Me Up, and my favorite Out of Left Field. I briefly met him in 1987 and he seemed like a friendly down-to-earth guy with a good sense of humor and a giant grin.

In this day and age 74 is way to young to lose a talent like this, RIP
