4.0 out of 5 stars The golden age of soul, 9 April 2005

By	Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)

Although not one of the most prominent soul singers of the 1960s and 70s, Percy Sledge had a distinctive country soul style. He made a lovely, flowing type of R&B with his stirring voice and exceptionally melodious songs like the timeless When A Man Loves A Woman, Dark End Of The Street, Take Time To Know Her and Out Of Left Field.

This is authentic music from the heart, full of yearning and romanticism expressed in gripping imagery. The backing is similar to the sound of the great Stax artists, and his voice is often framed by lovely female vocals.

Highlights on this compilation include the aforementioned masterpieces plus Put A Little Lovin' On Me, the title track It Tears Me up, Warm And Tender Love, True Love Travels On A Gravel Road, Drown In My Own Tears and Cover Me.

If you love old style sweet soul music, you will love the work of Percy Sledge, a special albeit minor artist of the genre. His voice takes you back to the golden age of soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars One classic and many other great songs, 29 Mar 2005

By	Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews (#1 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

A soul singer with a distinctive style, Percy had a huge international hit with his debut single (When a man loves a woman) but was unable to come close to matching that success again despite making some excellent recordings.

Among Percy's other outstanding recordings are It tears me up, Out of left field, Take time to know her, Warm and tender love and Dark end of the street, all of which are included here along with Percy's distinctive covers of Love me tender, Try a little tenderness and True love travels on a gravel road.

If you enjoy hearing Percy sing When a man loves a woman, you will surely love this collection - there may be nothing else quite like that classic song, but there is plenty of high quality sixties soul music here.
