His longtime agent, Steve Green, said Percy, who was inducted into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame in 2005 died after a long battle with liver cancer. He's survived by a wife and 12 children.
When A Man Loves A Woman was the biggest song of 1966 and the greatest hit of his career. It's one of the most covered songs of all time and has featured on several movie
soundtracks. RIP, Percy!

wow for many reasons,his hit song,twelve children from one wife etc.rip to him.
May his beautiful soul rest in perfect peace. I wonder if these new generation singers Wld learn something from d demise of all these legends. That they are remembered for a great classic evergreen song they once sang to the world. Not junks like "nack me apkako" anyway. Artist like tuface has made us proud with "African queen" the rest should follow suit and make good and flourishing music.

Wow! Linda, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to mourn Percy. Children of nowadays will not understand what you are saying about this mesmerizing song. I was in the University of Nigeria, Nsukka when this song hit the waves. I remember my girl friend always used it to criticize and remind me how a man who loves a woman should treat her: "When a man loves a woman, he can't keep his mind on nothing else. He'd trade the world for a good thing he's found. If she is bad he can't see it. She can do no wrong ..... etc, etc". I did not believe the lyrics until i met my wife. RIP Percy Sledge. Thank you Linda.
RIP Percy
May his soul rest in peace..amen

That was one of my best songs. But are we saying here that a woman gave birth to twelve children? An entire football team, like some people used to say.
RIP Percy
