When a man Loves a Woman, by Percy Sledge is a brilliant full-length? album, an American Classic!
The charismatic Alabama-bred soulman's first album was naturally built around the peerless and classic "When a Man Loves a Woman", the first Southern Soul track that became a No. 1 Pop hit. 
The title-track is soul perfection; the lamenting, organ driven groove, the country-soul guitar, the choir and on top of it all the magical voice of Percy Sledge. Truly one of the most brilliant recordings ever committed to vinyl, sung by the only Southern Soul performer who, commercially, seriously rivaled Otis Redding at the time. So, what about the rest of the LP? One knows that "When a Man Loves a Woman" is a hard act to follow, and the rare heights achieved by that particular tune is not attained elsewhere, here. That's not to say the remainder is subpar, 'filler' or by-the-numbers soul. Quite the contrary. "My Adorable One", another quintessential Sledge-belter, has a charm all its own. The delicate vocal amidst the raw grit of the Muscle Shoals backing band is amazing. Covered by numerous performers since, Sledge's spin still is the definitive version. Percy righteously gets down on the pumped-up, blazing beater "Put a Little Lovin' on Me" and the hard socking thumper "You're Pouring Water on a Drowning Man" (also recorded by James Carr) demonstrating the man was at much at ease with more up-tempo material. 
Nonetheless, Sledge soars on those delicous country-soul dirges, producing a sound uniquely nurtured by the fertile ground of upper-Alabama; the waltzy "Love Me All the Way" and especially "When She Touches Me (Nothing Else Matters)" are perfect vehicles for Sledge's gruffy pipes, the latter immersed in Spooner Oldham's incessant Hammond.
