Percy Sledge died this morning at the age of 73. He had many great recordings, but let's be honest..."When a Man Loves a Woman" is one of the greatest singles of the 20th century. I had the pleasure of meeting him ever so briefly once when I lived in Muscle Shoals during the '90s. He couldn't possibly have been nicer. This one makes my heart hurt.

Oh no! That is sad news. Lovely song, of course. And super cool you got to meet him.
