In my close to 80 years, this is the song that defines several things. It is THE ULTIMATE love song. It is the ULTIMATE SOUL song and this version will be played until there is no longer anyone alive to listen to it.
Bless you brother for I join you in dance
Absolutely correct!
Bert Rod you got that right!!
Bert! Say it again! Pearls of wisdom, sir!
Amen!
This is one of the greatest love songs regarding women, and Percy did it like no other. This was at the top of the charts back in the day❤
👍
Love this song!!!!
No one can sing it but Percy Sledge !!!
Absolutely.
Michael Bolton killed it
This is Percy’s song ,no body else’s cover comes anywhere near this . The real deal 👍
Back in the early 90s, I was the night manager at a truck stop near Percy's home town of Leighton, Alabama. He used to come in every now and then and get fried chicken. Really nice guy. One busy night, a guy came up to the register. He was kind of laughing under his breath. He said "That guy back there said he's Percy Sledge!" The cashier and I looked back toward the deli, and she nodded her head and said "Yeah, that's Percy." I nodded and said ,"Yep, that's him." The guy's jaw dropped to the floor.🤣
In the early 90s Mr Sledge was touring and had made Baton Rouge his home 30 years earlier. He made it clear that Baton Rouge was home
@@BrokenLady67 Yep.
BJ, you have been gifted with a woman so easy to love. Cherish her, my friend.
Thank you for reacting to this, the Muscle Shoals documentary is must see for music lovers, love that you’ve seen it.
It’s not hyperbole to say it’s one of the masterpieces of popular 20th century music, this recording.
I will always like his version better than all the rest.🥰
Awww what a song.. right?!!! 💯❤️BEAUTIFUL❤️💯 I remember slow dancing..hhmmm YEP!!! 💞💃💞🕺
I remember you guys reacted to the Home Free cover of this song. I love how they both do it Percy Sledge and Home Free.
Percy sang in the fields a orderly in a hospital and would sing to his patients. Met Rick Hall the rest is history. Great recall Asia. Muscle Shoals like this song are both great. Great reaction. Much appreciated 🙏
Excellent selection, love this song! This song resonates with women also, it's what every woman is looking for, for a man to love her like this! Great song!
Now this definitely is the original, I love Michael Bolton and Home Free’s version but no one will ever top Percy Sledge
Don' even wanna listen to Bolton when Ya can listen to this.
Little Richard was washing dishes at Greyhound bus station in Alabama. A record producer heard him singing while he was working. The rest is history. Good golly Miss Molly!
Well Macon Georgia.
Totally agree Asia a timeless classic!! His version is the best. Such a beautiful song, great voice. Take time to Know Her by Percy in 68 was very very good.
Percy Sledge certainly put his heart and soul into this song! He made you feel it. And Asia and BJ, I really enjoyed your reaction and your comments! This song definitely does resonate. Hope ya'll react to more of his music!
Recorded with the Swampers at the legendary Muscle Shoals Recording Studio in Alabama. Every R & B and rock act wanted what was coming out of Muscle Shoals with their roster of performers Percy, Wilson Pickett, Aretha, etc.
This was a monster hit back in the 60s. It seemed to always be on the radio no matter what station you were listening to. Michael Bolton also had a hit with it, many years later. Thanks for your great reaction. 👏👏
Percy had a great voice. I really liked the organ and the backing vocals on this song. It gave it a unique vibe that makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.
Muscle Shoals and the swampers! A great documentary.
Always love this version the best
Asia & BJ, you’ll love his “Warm And Tender Love”, “Take Time To Know Her” and “It Tears Me Up”!!!
Yes.
Don't forget out in left field
@@janetsilverhawk7204 ah yes. that's on a 20 song compilation CD of his, called "Warm And Tender Love".
@@surlechapeau I remember buying the 45 rpm
Totally true and one of the best love songs written.
You two would really love Jackie Wilson - "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher"
When a Man LOVES a Woman.....
🙏🏽🙏🏽She's sitting next to you. Peace, Love, "BLESSINGS".🙏🏽🙏🏽
This was such a great song in the 60’s and 70’s, and the true love song to tell you how a man really feels! What a voice!!❤️
Another one of those songs and artists that can only be labeled "The Real Thing"! I think that's right, Asia, the way he was discovered. Loving eyes can never see....
There are covers, but they ain't Percy Sledge. I remember when this came out in 66 and as was then it is now that this is a great song for holding on to your lady on the dance floor.
I saw him in concert at a bar here in Panama City Beach, FL back in 1974...Also saw the Drifters there a month later.
I had the chance to see him do free concerts in Baton Rouge for a few years. He and a local car dealership owner were friends, and he would headline Percy Sledge as his last and best act. He had a one in a million voice, and this song will stand out as his biggest and best hit.
One of my all-time favorite songs.
"Sledge was born on November 25, 1940, in Leighton, Alabama. He worked in a series of agricultural jobs in the fields near Leighton, before taking a job as an orderly at Colbert County Hospital in Sheffield, Alabama. Through the mid-1960s, he toured the Southeast with the Esquires Combo on weekends, while working at the hospital during the week. A former patient and mutual friend of Sledge and record producer Quin Ivy introduced the two. An audition followed, and Sledge was signed to a recording contract."
Thanks so much for reaction to When a man Loves a woman 😊 my my I'm so fortunate to live not far from Muscle Shoals Alabama and I remember this song was a world wide hit. Rick Hall was very blessed to have had so many wonderful records that were number one hits . I worked with Hal Sledge at ECM HOSPITAL and he was Always the same person every day. This song had the Swampers and Percy said he called them his family. Percy hope you rest in peace we all miss you ❤😢
when you talk about music there are 2 types of music that are better than everything else combined and that is Soul music and motown.. you cannot beat either,
My Mom waited on Percy Sledge numerous times at a local (Muscle Shoals) restaurant and loved him. Some other musicians who were just passing through weren't as friendly. We went to sleep every night listening to this and his Cover Me! It's so frustrating that everyone thinks it is a beautiful love song, when it isn't. It's about how a woman can treat a man like dirt and take advantage of the fact that he loves her, when she is just using him.
This was my Mama’s favorite song, thanks for the memory of that. ♥️
I think you guys would like “Treat Her Like a Lady” by Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose. Similar vocal style but up tempo.
Oh one of my very Favorite Songs Ever ❤️ Percy Sledge.
Oh and then they made a Movie called "When a Man Loves A Woman" 💙
💗💙
Asia what you trying to do to me, I hadn't heard this song in a while. Brings back memories from back in the day.
Percy Sledge was amazing! I'm an old soul in a 36 year old's body. I have played music like this since my 20s. Good stuff!👍🏽
I Remember Back in May 2015 My Family And I We Went To The Ross Store From in Smyrna, Georgia And We Try To Buy a Clothes And Dresses And I Remember I Was Using The Women's Restroom And Me, My Mother And My Two Sisters Were in The Women's Restroom in Ross Store And The Next Thing You Know is When A Man Loves A Woman Play On The Radio in Women's Restroom in Ross Store For The First Time Since Percy Sledge Passed Away On April - 14th - 2015 At The Age Of 74 Years Old And Just One Month Later We First Heard That Song Called When A Man Loves A Woman Because I Love This Song Since I Was 12 Years Old in 2015 Because When A Man Loves A Woman is The Best Soul Music And Southern Soul Music By The Late Great Percy Sledge And Once Again The Best Song Ever and Yes Memories.
Just a timeless beautiful song.
Greetings, was listening to music…. Then you guys popped in.
Very sultry indeed
🎶👍💙. Timeless and always Seductive 😉
An iconic singer...One of the all time top songs of all time...He has a lot of outstanding songs...One of the all time best lines in music history, " Loving eyes can never see ".
Great song written and sung by an even greater singer beautiful no contest RIP Percy miss you
I love y'all reacting to a wide range and music. There is a group that is a-coppela that does real justice. HOME FREE does this song perfectly. They have a wide range and genres that are great. Please check out their songs y'all will NOT be disappointed !!!! ❤❤😊😊
Percy Sledge was an orderly at a local hospital in Muscle Shoals. Rick Hall (owner of Fame Studios) discovered him singing to the patients.
The only female artist to cover this song was Bette Midler in The Rose! It's awesome! I know this got to BJ when he pats his hand on his heart 💙🎼❤️
Pure Motown magic 🪄 what a time and place for God given talent ❤
My favorite slow dance song from high school days
This has always been one of my favorites from back in the day. It conjures up images of slow dancing with someone you're head over heels over. Not to sound cliche, but they don't make 'em like they used to.
This is such a wonderful song ! It never gets old ! Another incredible song is Otis Redding’s “ These Arms of mine “.
Me and Percy used to clean the house on Saturday morning! I like Out Left Field by Percy too!
A MASTERPIECE……….Period
So many memories, this song never grows old, a real classic💖💖💖
I’ve I always loved This song sung by Percy Sledge. I also like Home Fee’s version. They are both awesome.
In the documentary "Muscle Shoals" about the music, studios and bands they produced and recorded there, they talk about Percy Sledge and how he was discovered in the cotton fields singing. Anyone who hasn't seen it should. 😉💖🎸
Always a favorite. Percy could sang this song.
Percy Sledge is the reason I love this song!!
Persy Sledge was huge in the caribbean back in the day and still is trending at Oldies sessions.
I was lucky enough to see him in a club in 1972. There has been several good covers of this song, but none comes close to the original.
Through the mid-1960s, he toured the Southeast with the Esquires Combo on weekends, while working at the hospital during the week. A former patient and mutual friend of Sledge and record producer Quin Ivy introduced the two. An audition followed, and Sledge was signed to a recording contract.
NO ONE CAN SING THIS LIKE PERSY
This was my wedding song back in the day.
OL Percy. You should see his induction into the rock and roll HOF. Man was sincere about his wife and it showed that night. No one will ever top Percy on this song.
Oh, how I love this song. Nothing beats the classics, I grew up listening 2 oldies from the 40's & up. My father was born in 44 & my mother was born in 57 so as u can imagine I listened 2 them all lol. For the longest time my fiance would try 2 stump me by playing oldies just 2 c if I knew it lol...he failed EVERY single time.
I remember seeing him in person in the 1970s and 80s, this record was on every jukebox everywhere.
Absolute Classic.
Wow, what a voice, what a feeling!
The original. I'm a little boy listening to my mom playing the radio. So much soul. "Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down...." "Sleep out in the rain..." Damn.
Now you need to turn it around and listen to "When A Woman Loves A Man" by Lee Roy Parnell, a country artist. Reminds me so much of my wife & partner of 46 years. Always brings tears to my eyes.
Thanks a lot, like your reaction. Percy did two studio versions of this song, orchestrally, this is the best. Among the many numerous covers, my fav is Annie Lennox's rendition.
Such a great song. Timeless.
One of the greatest love songs ever written!
You know about muscle Shoals? I was watching a documentary on it but I never finished it. It was very interesting especially learning that the manager for Sam Cook was behind his murder or at least that is with they eluded to since Sam was going to leave the record label.
got to love the classics
Definitely a awesome classic ❤ Beautiful song
You guys are spot on with everything you said about this song. Weather it's about a movie or a song, you guys "Get It" as usual.
I actually got to see Percy many years ago and he still "had it". Great song.
an absolutely heartfelt song with impeccable instrumental backing.
This song is for lovers it is a slow dancing show love this song
Now that ya'll have heard a love song from Muscle Shoals you've got to check out some early, funky soul from another great that a lot of people have forgotten. The one and only Clarence Carter. Snatchin It Back is my all time favorite from him! He also did a song that would crack up BJ and make Asia blush called, "Strokin'." It's still a nightclub staple.
Although Percy was from Alabama, he kinda adopted Louisiana as his home once his career exploded. I remember one of his tour buses was often parked in a lot down the street from my home; I guess the bus drive lived there. Good friend of mine wrote "First You Cry" that became a big hit for Percy. The HBO series "Treme" featured the song on an episode and my friend thought he was gonna get a good royalty check off of it but Percy owed so much IRS tax money that he didn't get a penny, haha.
There's a live version and its awesome
It was originated the same year I was. It has stood the test of time alot better than i have, however. Lol
Thanks guys, as always. Much love
That song rocks been one of my favorites since I was young
Doesn't get much better then that!!!
Played at every Friday and Saturday niight dance coast to coast for 30 years..
Him and Otis both made great music
I've always loved this song
Classic soul
His daughters (Sister Sledge) scored a big hit (We are Family) in 1979
He was singing it cleaning the floor in the hospital when someone heard him
Asia & BJ check out Lloyd Price- Stagger Lee. 😊 my oldest and favorite dance tune.
❤🔥This is the one that hits best🎶
You guys are great! Love seeing a couple devoted to each other!
One of the best songs ever!!!
Gosh guys, you are getting to me with this old soulful classic! Love it - thanks so much for reacting to this beautiful song.🧡
An oldie but goodie!!
Michael Bolton sampled this song but I don't know if anyone else did. This song is truly a classic!! Thank you Asia and BJ for your awesome reaction!
Classic gold
One of my favorites of all time
