Ouch! I wish I had not stumbled into this. He is a great singer but please forget this song, totally out of his style range, he killed it. He even forgot about the second hammond piece and tried to save it by aborting his start and mumbling over it for a bit. Go check out his (early the best) When A MAn Loves A Woman, then you will hear what he is capable of doing.

Don't get me wrong, you're entitled to your opinion and I welcome it, so first of all, thanks.

That's me on Hammond and Percy did not step on the interlude, that's the way he does the song and the way he recorded it decades ago. As to this being his style, you may not know that "When A Man Loves A Woman" played a part in inspiring the song . From Wikipedia: "The music also borrows ideas from "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Percy Sledge".

A song is as good as its recording. The sound effect in this video is awfull. Percy Sledge is a great singer and any song he performs, he does great justice to it.

Thanks for the comment. The audio was recorded with the built in microphone on a Sony Handycam DVD recorder. If not for that there would be no video.

The very first time I heard Procol Harums " Whiter Shade Of Pale" on the radio ----I thought " Man, somebody ripped off Percy Sledges " When a Man Loves a Woman----melody---chords-----o­rgan "-------

Percy Sledge is so damn good, he is cool as ice.

Love his voice, and I love America. Wish Percy would come to Norway and sing.

I'd be the only 25 year old male in front-row-center though.
