Some great music there Sustento .

Interesting story about Percy Sledge i read a while back that for the size of the hit of " when a man loves a woman " poor old Percy was paid a one time payment of twenty dollars and the recording studio/record label collected the rest.

Was quite common back then .

There was a programme on TV a few days ago with a clip of Percy singing 'When a man loves a woman'. The clip was recorded in the 1990s. If you closed your eyes it was 1966 again. His voice was just as powerful. What a magic man.

I think he was recording at least until a few years ago . I have bought some of his later recordings and his voice and style is still strong.

When a Man Loves a Woman was the first LP record i ever bought . An Atlantic import and then i bought James Brown's Prisoner of Love. All my friends thought i was crazy as the Beatles were what everybody was listening to .

Bill Withers?

Fantastic, but in my neighborhood when I was young, I had to listen on the sly.

For some reason, my friends just could not dig it.

They obviously did not have what it takes to listen.
