US soul singer Percy Sledge, famed for his song When a Man Loves a Woman, has died aged 74.
Steve Green from talent agency Artists International Management Inc confirmed to the BBC that he died at his home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Tuesday.
“He was one of my first acts, he was a terrific person and you don’t find that in this business very often,” said Green. “He was truly a standout.”
Sledge had surgery for liver cancer in January 2014 but soon resumed touring.
R.I.P. Percy. We’ll miss you.

This is sad, and also true. RIP Percy, you are not forgotten!
I was just listening to that song the other day :(… R.I.P
That voice… He was killer. A lot of the legends are dying off, I can only imagine what it’s going to be like when McCartney and Ringo die. RIP Percy, definitely one of the greatest voices.
man, I’m trying to be somewhere safe when one of those two goes. I think it’s gonna turn crazy and violent, and that’s being nice.
