Post Description
Percy Sledge (Leighton (Alabama), 25 november 1940) is een Amerikaans soulzanger, best bekend van de nummers "When a man loves a woman" en "My Special Prayer". Hij is voornamelijk bekend van emotionele soulballads, maar hij was ook een van de eerste artiesten die country met soul mengde, waarbij hij covers van onder andere Kris Kristofferson zong.
Begin jaren zestig werkte Sledge nog als verpleger in een ziekenhuis, toen hij zijn eerste treden in de muziek maakte als lid van de soulgroep de Esquires Combo. Lokale dj Quin Ivy adviseerde hem in 1966 om solo te gaan. "When a man loves a woman", door Sledge zelf geschreven, was de eerste single die van hem werd uitgebracht in de zomer van 1966, bij Atlantic Records. Al snel werd het wereldwijd een grote hit, waaronder nummer één in de Verenigde Staten. De single werd opgevolgd door de hits "Love me Tender", "Take Time to Know her" en in 1969 "My Special Prayer".
In de jaren zeventig daalde zijn populariteit. "I'll be your everything" uit 1975 was zijn laatste grote internationale hit. Zijn optredens verkochten daarentegen een stuk beter en tot in de jaren negentig bleef hij uitverkochte zalen trekken. In 1987 werd "When a man loves a woman" weer een hit, dankzij een reclame van het jeansmerk Levi's.
