Guest GeoffB Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 My heart sank a little when I saw this. One of my first introductions to soul music was the atlantic "this is soul" compilation. Listen to a song like "when a man loves a woman" and you can hear the hurt, feel every word. That is true soul. You will always live on in music. RIP.

Mr Smithy Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Damn!! Was there ever a man who could turn your knees to water like that. Was there ever a bigger smile with a mile wide gap in the teeth that made a better sound. Is there anyone on here who can't remember where they were when they heard When a man ..... There are a few people out there that made several records, most of them good and well worth a play, but if he stopped making anything after WAMLAW, we'd all still remember him and a big stupid grin would come on our faces when we heard it. Not many you can say that about. RIP 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mrtag Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 R.I.P. Percy, Baby Help Me one of my all time favourites of his! Great music will be sadly missed. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Westender Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Another great from the golden era passes. Percy handled the tender country slanted ballads to a tee. True love travels on a gravel road is a particular favourite but there were so many more. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Harrogatesoul Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 So so many ignored / forgotten / not on trend sides this southern soul giant cut. One of the southern soul greats who crossed over and gave the wider world a taste of southern/deep and soul ballads. R.I.P Percy and a heartfelt thank you from this soul fan for providing such a fantastic catalogue and moments in soul. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
