This nice, 12-song budget reissue of Percy’s vinyl album for Atlantic features the hits ‘When a Man Loves a Woman,’ ‘Take Time to Know Her,’ and ‘It Tears Me Up,’ along with interesting covers like ‘The Dark End of the Street’ and ‘Just Out of Reach.’ If you’re only going to buy one Percy Sledge best-of package, this is it.

„Spooner Oldham’s haunting Farfisa organ sets the mood, the Stax rhythm section kicks in, Percy wails and the song climaxes with a great horn-section ostinato – released in 1966, ‘When a Man Loves a Woman’ is one of the great soul ballads, its message of sacrifice and surrender remaining timelessly romantic. Coarse-voiced and abso- lutely passionate, Sledge hadn’t the endurance or distinctiveness to be one of R&B’s premier figures, but he’s one of the most heartfelt.’ (Rolling Stone)
