My grandpa used to sing this to my grandmother and no matter where they were even driving he would pull over and drag her out of the car to dance. He used to sing it to her with such conviction he loved her more than life. He passed on in 2013 and grandma is now very sick and on her way out. I came here to listen to this to remind myself when it’s her time to cross over he will be there probably with the real Percy singing and dancing. I need to listen to this to remind myself she’s going to be in a better place with her love. Life can be so heartbreaking sometimes

2024 is any one else here?

My husband was listening to this song a week before he passed away. Pls pray for me n my baby girl to make it thru what we are going thru in our life

The music industry needs to return back to this golden era

It's really a shame how this man - arguably the greatest *natural tenor* soul balladeer of all time - was so underrated by his peers. No Grammy (not even a nomination) no Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The only known singer to attend his funeral was Dorothy Moore. RIP Percy. You will always be a legend to your fans.

The way he sings this, you can tell he has loved a woman.

THIS IS SINGING! No autotune, no special effects, no assistance to vocals whatsoever and he did it "LIVE" as well. They don't make'em like him anymore. What a heavenly talent and might I say the most underrated singer of his era. RIP Percy, you gave of one of the most iconic songs of all time. Thank You!

This eternal masterpiece dedicated to my lovely wife. She passed last week. Se latter my dearest!! 🙏💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Michael Bolton sang this song to perfection, hitting all the high notes n everything. But one thing he lacked is what you are hearing right now, that tear jerking soul, which Percy Sledge had. Nobody can sing this song like Percy Sledge.

I absolutely adore this song... I hope someone loves me like that one day ❤❤❤ long live Percy sledge

This song was released when I was a Marine at Camp Pendelton. I will forever remember that soulful sound echoing through the barracks on the weekends. I was so lost and alone at that time, newly married and on my way to Vietnam.

Anyone else get chills seeing and hearing this? Such a legend.

My younger brother loved this song!!! every now and again,i will play it for old times sake!!! he was killed in Vietnam at 19 yrs old while serving in the Marines in 1969--Heres to you Darrel!!

Otis Redding introducing Percy Sledge! Greatness! R.I.P to both

When a man loves a woman, Mr Perry Sledge here in 2024💕

Percy will forever be remembered for this song alone.

I never saw him sing live till now. Wow, this is real talent and soul. You’ll never see anything like this anymore.

Percy made this song one Friday night after him and his woman had broken 💔 up and he use to sing at house parties and when he got to the party he was sad of course and didn't want to sing so they finally convinced him and he got up there and he said these words came out of his mouth and heart ❤️

This was my Momma and Daddy's song. My daddy passed away in 1995. But mom still listens to this song from time to time. May the memories of my daddy never be forgotten.

I’m 27 and i’ma straight rap lover but I always had a old soul as my mama would say😅‼️ And when I was a teenager he was one of my favorite singers and he had a concert at the peanut festival back in my home town in southeast Alabama I was 16 then and it was the first concert I had ever been to with my mom and aunt and when he performed this song 🌬️😩😩‼️ this man’s voice was so riveting and unique it brought people in the crowd to tears im so glad I had the chance to experience it in person Rest In Peace Mr. Sledge🙏🕊️🕊️

I return to this whenever I need to know that love still exists.

The pain and anguish he displays while singing is absolutely incredible

Will forever have my breath taken away by the passion and authenticity Percy performs this song with

What a voice, means everything he is singing.

They said he just told the band to hit a beat one night and then sang the whole song straight from his heart. Now that's talent!!

amazing soul still in 2024

The performance deserves a standing ovation ❤️‍🔥

I'm 69 and remember playing this on my 8 track on my dates..lol

You can feel the pain in his voice. Absolutely transcendent.

who's listeing this beautiful song today again thmbs up forever!!!

Greatest love song ever written ❤️

No one can sing like Percy!! Never gets old! Hits right through the heart!

Percy Sledge... My, my, my... I'm 35 and this brings back many, many memories of my Mom. We would sit outside on the front porch In the summer when I was a kid and she would put the speakers of the radio In the window and we listened to Percy Sledge along with our neighbors. Thank God my mom and step-dad had great taste In music.

Too bad kids now don't know this music. I'm only 45 but I remember this on the radio as a kid and always loved it.

I was only twelve years old when I got this as a christmas present and I can´t remember that I have been so happy for any gift since that time. Now I`m 70 years old. Excuse for bad English.😍

As a former vocalist in a band, I can appreciate and respect how consistent his vocals are... it sounds like a recording. He is also giving his all and not half assing the lyrics. You don't really see artists these days that are able to pull that off.

This has been one of my all time favorite songs. I am a music nut and I'm here at 67 years old to testify, they just don't make them this good anymore. June 2023. Still kicking, waiting to go home.

Man the music notes plus the instrumentals hit the spot!

What a song.... still gives me chills so many years later!!!!

I was fan of Percy since I heard this song. I was happy to have met him in 2009. He's such a nice man. And everyone knew how much he loved Rosa. I met her also. Both died in 2015.

Today is my late dad birthday. growing up my dad would often sing this song to my mom! Happy Birthday Dad and thank you God for the BEST dad ( and mom) !

Michael Bolton is probably the one who made this song worldwide famous but Percy's, damn, you can hear the pain and emotion on his voice! He deserves the appreciation, it's a shame that he doesn't have a star in Hollywood walk of fame. RIP Legend

Grew up around his music. My momma and grandparents loved Percy’s music. I love his music. True legend in his own rights. God bless sir. R.I.P. Mr. Percy Sledge

A timeless classic. R.I.P. Percy Sledge. 💐👏🏼

Gives me the chills.....every time. That voice and that emotion. One of the best love songs of all time!

People; it does not get better than this. 100% raw God given talent. Breathtaking.

Oldies but greatest music ever. Sang thier heart out from deep in their soul. Precious priceless music.

One of the best ballads from the 1960’s. Percy your song will still touch hearts 100 years after you recorded this ❤️

Love Percy Sledge. Love this beautiful song. Nov. 21/20. Saturday. Anyone else still listening to this beautiful music?

Went to the Percy Sledge Show in 1970 in Cape Town South Africa. RIP Percy. Your music lives on.

OMG! Finally someone listening to Percy. I was in love with him back in the 60's.

Otis and Percy! Lord have mercy the talent was out of the world 🌎

On my 50th birthday, with a surprise party for me. Everyone got up to dance to this Great Song,,, it's been many years now and I Still Love It! .... Classic!!

Saw Percy Sledge in person and met him afterward...One of his last shows before he passed.. what a entertainer truly gifted.

Those were the good old days that will never come back again

Une musique que l'on voudrait bien réentendre , la bonne époque, merci !!!

This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard! My husband sang it to me when he proposed!

Lord Have Mercy! This song bring back so many lovely memories. Singggggggggg Percy!

I’m 33 so I in my teens it was the late 90’s early 2000’s. Never heard this music til I was over 25. Man this is what real music is, I love everything but hearing music with such passion like this! It somehow touched your soul, you feel it when you hear, back when music had meaning.

Wow God’s gift and talent! Excellent!👏👏

percy never died this song is for ever

One of the greatest songs ever written.

You can see the emotions and love in his eyes 👀. It’s beautiful!

Sends chills down my spine. Brilliant performerance and timeless lyrics.

I've found a very special lady to love like this. She's absolutely amazing in every way, and she's the love of my life.

THE BEST SLOW DANCE LOVE SONG EVER RECORDED..😊👍RIP MR PERCY

One of the tunes my ex recorded for me. I still play it after and each time i listen to it, i get goose. Iconic song indeed. You don't get this stuff these days.

WOW is excellent and fantastic. MELODY........YESSSSSSSSSSS !!!!

I saw him a number of years ago and he was still beyond wonderful! Naturally, he was a lot older than in this video and gained a few pounds but the performance he put on was unforgettable - especially when he sang When A Man Love a Woman. He never got the credit he deserved and worst of all, he got no royalties from this song.

This what you call real music it touches you so much and makes you feel emotional,unlike the songs we hear nowadays they are just trash

My late husband and I would dance to this. Every time Happy Days in Pensacola, Florida would play it. Back in the 80's ish.... ❤😊 Now, I pass it on to my son as he just got engaged ❤

This is one great song that will live forever! Great song and well done Sir, you have an amazing voice! God Bless you and your family forever! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😊

RIP… thank you for leaving us with such a beautiful song.

This is how I love my wife.

Such a pure love exists, unfortunately, only in songs, movies, novels..Superb performance!!

That's the kind of love I'm holding out for. Always have Loved this song.

OMG 😲 What has happened to music like this it breaks my 💔 to know that today's kids doesn't know what they have missed ☹️

idk what woman he had on his mind when he was singing this, but that's one lucky lady, or an unfortunate one for leaving him. such an emotional, beautiful performance - the original is the best, long live Percy Sledge

I love this song with all my heart ❤. It reminds me of my hubby who passed away 6th April 2021 suddenly 💔. This song perfectly describes his personality ❤❤❤

My parents used this song for their wedding. And her son, I, also love this song.

Yet another excellent recommendation Mr. Lynch!

Percy Sledge was a hit back in my day and still is..

Percy sings with so much emotion I love this song

A beautiful woman just sent me a link to this song. Had to listen all the way through x

No one was ever better than Percy singing this song. The good old days.

It doesn't get any better than this, the days there was natural talent, heart and soul!💞 Hard to believe 1966 was a long time ago, it all seems like yesterday!😢 To all those amazing memories, and days we thought would last forever!❤

I was raised up watching my father and mother dancing to this song by Percy, Still today. I love watching them every time.

What a beautiful song! Thank you Percy and thank you God for blessing us with music like this! 💗

If you are under the age of 40 in America, you missed out on true singing, musicianship, and creativity.

Danced in the dark on New Years Eve with my ex to this song. That was almost 3 years ago and I'm physically incapable of listening to this song without crying. I felt her crying on my shoulder while we danced. It still amazes me that someone that once loved you so much becomes a stranger over time and decides to leave. Percy Sledge shows so much emotion in this song, underrated singer.

Rest in peace Percy Sledge, 73 years old, 4/17/16

This is the one of the masterpieces in love songs

Percy Sledge will always be associated with the great soul singers. The fact that he has over five million views says a lot. I love this song. Mr. Sledge sings it the way it is supposed to be sung.

I love that woman more than anything in the world

When a man loves a woman Can't keep his mind on nothin' else He'd change the world for the good thing he's found If she is bad, he can't see it She can do no wrong Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down When a man loves a woman He'll spend his very last dime Tryin' to hold on to what he needs He'd give up all his comforts And sleep out in the rain If she said that's the way It ought to be Well, this man loves you, woman I gave you everything I had Tryin' to hold on to your heartless love Baby, please don't treat me bad When a man loves a woman Down deep in his soul She can bring him such misery If she is playin' him for a fool He's the last one to know Lovin' eyes can never see When a man loves a woman He can do her no wrong He can never want Some other girl Yes when a man loves a woman I know exactly how he feels Cause baby, baby, you're my world When a man loves a woman...

Percy Sledge will live no matter what even his songs. A legend in music.

An extremely satisfying sigh because this is the one I remember as a child. Someone posted they were going to sing this song by Michael Bolton. I thought, nope this song was out and a hit way before Michael Bolton. This is the voice that comes back to me when I think of this song.

Gold. This is a real love song, something missing today.

Remember ladies , don’t ever compromise your standards and expectations. Because the right man will meet them. Especially when you have expressed them💗

Touch your soul and so beautiful. Percy deserved more recognition.
