Even the Hall of Fame admits it....

Edited on Mon Mar-14-05 07:19 PM by NightTrain

The new Percy Sledge HoF bio page spends six paragraphs on "When a Man Loves a Woman" and only three paragraphs on the rest of his career.

"If Percy Sledge had only recorded 'When a Man Loves a Woman,' one of the greatest of all soul songs, he would have earned his place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame."

TRANSLTION: "Percy Sledge recorded 'When a Man Loves a Woman,' and that's the only reason he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Who gives a shit about the dozens of other fine recordings that he made?" :eyes:
