Rest in Percy
http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-32301435US soul singer Percy Sledge, famed for his song When a Man Loves a Woman, has died aged 73.
Steve Green from talent agency Artists International Management Inc confirmed to the BBC that he died at his home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Tuesday.
"He was one of my first acts, he was a terrific person and you don't find that in this business very often," said Green. "He was truly a standout."
Sledge had surgery for liver cancer in January 2014 but soon resumed touring.
My mom used to have this 8-track. Good memories of a great voice.
