    Back in the early 90s, I was the night manager at a truck stop near Percy's home town of Leighton, Alabama. He used to come in every now and then and get fried chicken. Really nice guy. One busy night, a guy came up to the register. He was kind of laughing under his breath. He said "That guy back there said he's Percy Sledge!" The cashier and I looked back toward the deli, and she nodded her head and said "Yeah, that's Percy." I nodded and said ,"Yep, that's him." The guy's jaw dropped to the floor.🤣

    "Sledge was born on November 25, 1940, in Leighton, Alabama. He worked in a series of agricultural jobs in the fields near Leighton, before taking a job as an orderly at Colbert County Hospital in Sheffield, Alabama. Through the mid-1960s, he toured the Southeast with the Esquires Combo on weekends, while working at the hospital during the week. A former patient and mutual friend of Sledge and record producer Quin Ivy introduced the two. An audition followed, and Sledge was signed to a recording contract."

    My Mom waited on Percy Sledge numerous times at a local (Muscle Shoals) restaurant and loved him. Some other musicians who were just passing through weren't as friendly. We went to sleep every night listening to this and his Cover Me! It's so frustrating that everyone thinks it is a beautiful love song, when it isn't. It's about how a woman can treat a man like dirt and take advantage of the fact that he loves her, when she is just using him.

    Here's some trivia for you......the backing musicians are called "The Swampers" They were an all white studio group of musicians that launched careers of Otis Redding, Percy Sledge, Aretha Franklin, Eartha Kitt, and that's all I can think of right now. They were part of Fame Recording Studio in Muscle Shoals Alabama. Rick Hall was the founder and owner of the studio. He personally cut this record with Percy and helped make it a hit. If you want to learn some GREAT music trivia, find the documentary "Muscle Shoals" It is FANTASTIC. And P.S...."The Swampers" were sung about in the Lynyrd Skynyrd song "Sweet Home Alabama" .....in Birmingham they've got the Swampers....." Lynyrd Skynyrd recording some of their first songs and albums there.

    Although Percy was from Alabama, he kinda adopted Louisiana as his home once his career exploded. I remember one of his tour buses was often parked in a lot down the street from my home; I guess the bus drive lived there. Good friend of mine wrote "First You Cry" that became a big hit for Percy. The HBO series "Treme" featured the song on an episode and my friend thought he was gonna get a good royalty check off of it but Percy owed so much IRS tax money that he didn't get a penny, haha.
