Percy Sledge - When A Man Loves A Woman

[RockBanned]

What makes this song even more incredible is that Percy Sledge improvised the lyrics when it was first recorded.

[canne0566]

origine end the best song

[twilightheads0]

really touching

[andyingreece]

When I was a kid I used to listen to Percy Sledge all the time. Fantastic voice & I think that this is one of the best songs he ever wrote & sang. The words are SO true! <3

[muskysnax]

Choreography by Mr. Bean...

[SAINTSFANreggiebush]

This is truly the best love song up to date still!

[petertwix]

best version ? its mimed!!!!!

[barudzija7]

this song really came the closest to describing love. no other song can bring such happiness and such sadness at the same time.

[2010iluvfootball]

True Story: When Percy was recording this song, It wasn't finished lyrically. That means when he was in the studio, he did this song on the fly. It became one of his biggest hits because he made it with his soul. I miss this passion...

[djpimpn21]

i just found out i am rrelated to percy sledge

[Eline9]

LMAO at the background "dancers"......"C'mon girl, we gotta swing dem arms"

[blueberries4ever]

Those two dancers need to dance a little more often and lose some of the lard.

[wc4dblues]

A GREAT SONG, A GREAT SINGER If you listen to this and still don't know what's meant by "soul music" I'd suggest some Wayne Newton.

[shamnmn]

29 people have never loved a woman



[23561234dead]

It;s one of my best tunes and the song is true what it says......

[aba2185]

wait! no auto tune? no vocal enhancers?

what kind of witchery is this?

[ovceeee95]

@williamlbarberjr Alabama i think :)

[ovceeee95]

nobody can sing this song as well Percy Sledge

[KRCBROWN9567]

This song describes me to the "T",Germany 1985 I was so in love with this Georga peach from Atlanta,I miss her today.

[715musicman]

The very best version & first I know of & I am old.

[altimateworkout]

He took the wards, right out of my mouth.

[1988ManMade]

The Best way to described how we feel about the one who got our heart.Great song

[archerjoinery1]

Percy Slegend

[Airakobra]

He's so right! specially the "very last dime" part! hehe

[arsenalchamp]

FU youtube :(

[Otisyo]

Well... If there wasn't a music industry there wouldn't be any music, would there? And I think that would be worse ;)

[alben982]

Yeah kinda sad because I come to YouTube sometimes to listen and ofcourse watch music videos. Will it make YouTube lose visitors? Probably. Piracy increase? Probably as well since we will no longer have access to these things on YouTube anymore.

[superTeoric]

[hkadira]

Immortal Song.

[290153bh]

This is the best version of this song.

He means every word.

[donnelbc]

This one of the only verions i've seen or heard that he really pours all his heart and soul into the song. Like you said, he really means every word he says.

[CuteSmartCute]

woooooooooow.. what a voice!

[ClassicRockSovereign]

It's obvious that Procol Harum had this song in mind when they wrote "A Whiter Shade of Pale".

[kermzee]

kermzee i loved it 40 something years ago.

[garner070]

I didn't know Michael Strahan sang this song. Just Kidding. Great song

[zaaritha]

His best!

[werethefuture]

Tony Hawk Could Not Jumped That Gap

[eman430]

The gap between his teeth keeps me cracking up

[MRCTechOne]

thats cole trains mom in the back

[andyrauf]

Some people have such a gap in their awareness that I could run a frieght train into it and you'd never even hear it hit the bottom.

[MRCTechOne]

cole train

[luvintayinBham]

timeless classic. love it!

[hifromlisajo]

he's not blind, that's ray charles, check out some of his other videos or even more recent videos of this song

[nyc4max]

The lirics, the rythm, the voice, a perfect harmony

[bigman671]

This song is the best!

[ahuaman2002]

Se parece mucho a MORFEO EN THE MATRIX!!

[pietze2006]

The dance performance in the back... that was off the hook!! xD

[ten1men]

regardless tho you can tell that he loved somebody.

[o0orichieo0o]

[DEVONTA930]

[srvinfinity]

This stiLL gives me chiLLs remembering this pLaying on the radio at nite whiLe Lying in bed. ALL I heard was "THIS" haunting voice echoing "when a' man Loves a woman--".

[youtobe731]

[spitroastfor6]

[riverland73]

[acamogirl]

I love this era. Nothing short of perfection. He hit the true feelings, and emotions that men have and hide deep inside. awesome

[KaZaaV2]

Am I the only one really diggin' them video hoes?? LOL :D

[chomsky88]

What a voice--and what an era--I wasn't around then, but nothing beats 60's music.

[ilegnah303]

O som tá bem legal.

[greensofa1]

ONE OF THE THE GREATEST...of all time!

[Mernerbah]

[readmegod]

[777LADY777]

Too beautiful...:)

[Azarelius]

This is a masterpiece!

[msingh16]

I just got a hard break!, i really thought we had that connection!

[RealSuccessOnline]

A timeless, classic song. Who gets the most residuals from this song between the singer and the writers?

[ntbushwick]

writers...

[bigman671]

Best song in all my life. And in Heaven.

[JMTMusicLover]

A one-hit wonder??? I think not! This guy was an icon...back in the day. Unchained Melody, The Dark End of the Street, Try a Little Tenderness, A Whiter Shade of Pale, For The Good Times, If Loving You is wrong...just to name a few. The man was a legend!

[muddog429]

JMT, while Percy was an awesome and accomplished artis, you have attributed a few songs to him here that were not his creations. Unchained Melody was a Righteous Brothers piece, and A Whiter Shade of Pale is written and performed by Procol Harem.

[vergeharget]

Was he a one hit wonder?

This song is fantastic, but I never him do anything else as good.

Itzik Basman

[dadillo]

watta soul man..

[retart6969]

[playanameless]

[Hellotheez]

It makes me feel so sad...

[jytyjyj]

this is a classic no 1 can question that

i love when my class mate usaully sing it he could sing it jus like him

[mykoveli07]

I remember when I was flipping through channels when percy sledge was on KLRN and he was about to sing this song and thanking his wife for sticking with him through all those years, He sang this song like I've never heard it before, he sang his heart out for his wife and it gave me goosebumps. Ever since i've been trying to find that video but to no such luck, if you dont believe me, look it up for yourself. I think it was on one of these Stations, KLRN or PBS, classic oldies reunion or motown!

[markbissoo]

a Classic..no lie!!

[dylanspoues12]

i love these song best oldies ever

[arrobafan14]

AMAZING SONG

[ekmad]

My girlfriend loves this song! It's OUR song

[AmericanStory1]

Oh, I don't think so; This was my girl's and my song back in the 60's...she became my wife.

For you to sit here and commandeer a song that belonged to me WAY before you ever heard it shows how crazy you are.

[ekmad]

hehe nice one! This was playing when we first met... hopefuly our relationship will go the same was as your did!

[AmericanStory1]

Don't compare your "relationship" to mine.

What the heck do you know about my relationship anyway??

Based on how you communicate, and your profile ect., I predict that your relationship will fail.

[iamamuffin123]

seriously?

[AmericanStory1]

seriously?

[blacbraun]

@AmericanStory1 I seriously doubt either of you are old enough to be legally married. Or is 10 the legal age in Alabama?

[dylanspoues12]

i loved it so sweet so romatic.lol wish every man was like that.

[Doroneth]

lol a Classic

[ctyuang]

Greatest love song ever!

[chubbycharlotte]

I LOVE percy sledge :D one of the greatist arrtists of all times...you feel the emotion coming from that incredible voice of his <3 <3

[Nickticki]

[rphickey]

Wow...

[51alandee]

I did indeed mean era .... sorry about the error ....

[51alandee]

About the dancers colors on their pants....This song was popular in the 60's when Hippies wore flowers on their cloth and psychedelic colors were popular....with this video being from that error that explains the colors....It was a fad like kids wearing pants that hang below their butt today....may not make sense but it was the style of the error....

[DaRock02412]

I think you mean "era"

[NostalgicNatasha]

This song is classic! I love it! Can somebody explain what those background dancers are doing? Did they roll around in paint before they got on stage? LOL

[melany1204]

One of those few amazing songs a person can actually hear and FEEL.

[steve1954lancaster]

Just saw Percy sing two shows at the Volusia County Fair. He is still singing great and one hell of a nice person. Check out his new CD if you can with 24-7-365 and Big Blue Diamonds on it, you'll love it.

[BlackBabyDolls]

Thanks for sharing. I was wondering if he was still around.

[Genercidel]

One of those real timeless numbers.
