Nice introduction to Mr Sledge
As usual with these 'old' artist the house band ( The New Aces Band ) is playing a few songs on their own before they introduced the main attraction Soul Legend Percy Sledge.
I was lucky to see him at the LED ZEPPELIN aftershow party at the Indigo in London with other greats ( Solomon Burke , Sam Moore and Ben E King ) .
Unlike many other artists his age his Soulful Voice is as good as it was in the late 60's when he was riding high in the charts. Maybe he has a few more pounds but the voice is still intact .
Lots of classics tonight his and a few covers including Ottis Redding's " sitting on the dock of the Bay" and a fantastic rendition of Procol Harum 's " A whiter shade of pale ".
The concert couldn't have been perfect without his N° 1 smash Hit " When a man loves a woman".
Great evening !
On Stage and Off stage after the Show
