Percy Sledge, the soul singer behind the iconic soul hit “When A Man Loves A Woman,” died early Tuesday morning at the age of 73.
Sledge passed away in Louisiana in hospice care after a lengthy battle with cancer, according to his longtime manager. “He was one of my first acts, he was a terrific person and you don’t find that in this business very often,” Steve Green told the BBC. “He was truly a standout.”
