Percy Sledge - Take time to know her

[Leonessame]

Percy is my youth - it makes me wanna cry - what a great man what a great song - timeless

[deanslist101]

My favorite song of his, by far. So meaningful and true. Everyone, male or female, should take the advice of the song before committing to a marriage. I am looking forward to seeing Percy live for the first time this coming Saturday night (1-28-12) at the Joy Theater in New Orleans and hopefully meeting him backstage afterward.

[gino091304]

[Gnuso77]

2nd truest song I've ever heard! 1st is "When a Man Loves a Woman."

[daveiop]

I saw Percy live at the Town House ( Terry Heaths ) in Wellington Shropshire in 1969 and it was one of the most wonderful music nights I've ever had. He was wonderful, the band was great and the atmosphere was electric. Was any one else there ?

[corng99]

[PrettyMsMocha]

oh my, this is about the good blessing and advice from parents that they try to give you when your ready to give your heart to someone... brought me to tears

[bjeffery08]

Great song, Great singer.

[zaaritha]

Absolutely great!

[acrazytube]

Wow, this is a beautiful powerful song and this brought me to tears. I now have a such, beautiful, wonderful girl and we got to know each other. Yes, it is true that we need to take time to know each other. Hopefully, we will meet each other at Christmas so that we take time to know each other.

[Emmarose81]

She's cheating.

[acrazytube]

Who is cheating? Are you? hehe!

[Emmarose81]

No your girl is not me.

[acrazytube]

I guess you have been spying on her since you got nothing to do except posting and accusing. hehe! cya!

[Emmarose81]

Actually I have a lot to do. I attend college full time and I work two jobs. If you have a long distance relationship she's cheating. If not she's still cheating because you suck.

[tbeyah]

lol...u soooooo rite

[JereRowe]

Best advice anyone can get, take time to know her

[sopowskiG]

So true, although sometimes getting to know a girl who you love but doesn't feel the same way can be hard

[Sugaree1956]

@JereRowe and take time to know "him" :)

[Selenaaa14]

goeie muziek maakt hij.

[brightingsky]

But it looks like every thing's gonna turn out all right But then I came home from work a little early one night And there she was kissin on another man Now I know what mama meant when she took me by the hand She said, take time to know her Not an overnight fling Take time to know her Don't go rushin to do your thing She said, take time to know her Not an overnight fling Take time to know her Don't go rushin to do your thing Take time to know her

[djdeitch]

[Emmarose81]

You ever heard of the saying you can't bullshit a bullshitter? You can't really get played if you aren't being serious about the person.

[ashantilongislant]

Its men who cant be trusted. u got it twisted.

[Emmarose81]

Everyone bullshits men and women.

[izzythugbone]

very touching song we need to really take time to know each other before getting involve and our life would be better

[LordRockfish]

Percy Sledge - Take time to know her

and

Jerry Butler - Only the Strong Survive

both great (and similar) songs that I love.

[BloodNGutts]

Hear, Hear !

[Emmarose81]

Breaking hearts is fun.

[axltyler]

no it isn't. It's emotional murder. Every time a heart it broken, a part of someone is dying off.

[Emmarose81]

Not when they deserve it.

[axltyler]

give an example.

[cathlicboy]

remember what goes around .comes around.best of luck

[Emmarose81]

Not if I'm smart about it.

[Deathhills]

Im'gonna se him live next monday:D

[lsp092606]

I'm 23 and my mom loves this music I guest it rubed off .. love him

[joan540]

take time to know her or him

it's not an overnight thing

oh if we would only listen, how many heartaches would we be spared

[softer44]

so true Joan so true!!!

[Dmasto]

it doesn't come to age for liking songs, even tho you are young you can love songs from 60's 70's 80's it's just what you like to listen too, and to admit you like the music. cause even tho the songs are old they still can be wonderfull just like this one.

percy sledge ftw !

[rockizdead22]

hey what can i say my parents tought me well my mom loves percy sledge!

[rientjelovesjef]

Great!

[rockizdead22]

im 22 and i wish atleast half of my generation would learn to appreciate this man like i do!

[skudaarkaat1]

Saw him twice in Germany and knew he was magic! What a singer. You are wise beyond your years, "rock".

[101Capricorn]

i agree. my friends...look at me like i was crazy when i was killin this..while driving with my windows down...i was feelin him all the way and im 20 yrs old lol!

[ceure6]

amen im 22 too, nothing but punks running around now

[rockizdead22]

totally agree with you hard to find people my age who enjoy the same music as well as other things like i do....this world seems to be on a complete downward spiral and alot of it has to do with the new spoiled generation

[ronman6]

I think I have this song on a little 45 RPM vinyl somewhere. Great tune.

[bluesgirl62]

great my god what a powerrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[SexyLadyInSC]

I really feel that I have missed out on some of the best music in the world! All singers talk about today is banging somebody in the bedroom!!

[surfgirly69]

Oh man, LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dutchstreetdog]

master!!!

[vxr8auto]

I have a percy sledge version, it's definetly percy sledge, but it doensn't sound anything like this one, i like this better though

[northerngirl72]

ahhhh lovely soul

[MissBronx67]

SANG BOY !!!!!!!!!!!

[cappy84486]

I love his music ~ such soulful music. Brings back wonderful memories from high school. :-)

[alyceclover]

Everything I know about life, I learned from a 45rpm. This was one of the great lessons. Percy's voice is what makes it soul music.

[VickLynn9]

I saw this great man many times. He is wonderful.

[razelma]

Very true...ace.

[vinylsingleman]

He sings this with such a sad voice that you fully expect the song to end with him shooting his girl and her lover both dead and going to face his sentence for it.

[Emmarose81]

Braking hearts is fun when you don't care about the person and they deserve it.

[GatorfrmOrlando]

says the retard who can't spell "breaking"

[loitalove7733]

"""" THE 1 AND ONLY 1 PERCY SLEDGE

[Rori001]

People meet online and get married a week or two after meeting. How many times do they have to be told to take time to know each other. Take time to know him, he might be a serial husband who is on a mission of his own.

[GatorfrmOrlando]

or SHE could b a devil woman a man needs to run from

[Emmarose81]

It's called a typo bitch. Don't get mad because you got owned in the past.You don't want to get into sentence structure and spelling b/c I could point a few problems with sentence bitch ass.

[Emmarose81]

I know a few moms have said this to their sons after meeting me. Moms tend to be right.

[Emmarose81]

LOL

[bau06047645]

only other person who can match percy is otis

wonderful!

[mcbuffington]

often imitated but NEVER duplicated

[TheAtheistChrist]

Percy Sledge is easliy one of the greatest voices to ever grace the face of this earth, and perhaps the universe...

[carneydale]

Percy is one of the greats...Super voice and even better live! Can remember this for slow dancing between the Shagin' to Carolina Beach Music....Great Video to the person that made this.

[Juliatyn]

I may be only twenty years old.. but I know exactly what this song means.. I have already lived it.. God this song is too true... I should have listened to my dad

[alphuez]

What a gem of a song and performance -- sadly, haven't heard this in far too many years.

Used to have a late night show on a college station "back in the day", and played this many, many times when it was a brand new release. Can it really be 40 years ago???

Huge thanks for posting this.

[silverballs2]

Michael Balton should Quit Stealing other people Songs & Getting Credit for them!

[TheAtheistChrist]

thank you, michael bolton sucks

[silverballs2]

And to Top that! He (Michael Balton) Got a Fucking Music Award for it! what a rip-off!

[tebetmas]

Pretty cool song remind me in the year late 60th.
