Blues' Percy Sledge returns
Percy Sledge, Blue Night. On his first album in nearly two decades, the Alabama-born soul balladeerwraps his exquisite pipes around love songs, spirit-lifters and heart-tuggers.
Percy also gracefully tackles classics, breathing emotional fire into the Temptations' I Wish It Would Rain, Otis Redding's I've Got Dreams to Remember and James Carr'sThese Ain't Raindrops.
Sledge still exudes the passion and authenticity that turned his signature, the 1966 hit When a Man Loves a Woman, into Michael Bolton's impossible dream.
