The Platinum Collection by Percy Sledge - DeepRiffs

COMPILATION

The Percy Sledge volume of Warner U.K.'s Platinum Collection series is nearly identical to Rhino's It Tears Me Up: The Best of Percy Sledge, albeit with a different track order. All of the hits are here ("Take Time to Know Her," "Warm and Tender Love," "Sudden Stop," and, of course, "When a Man Loves a Woman"), as well as numerous album cuts and less popular singles, making it the perfect entry point for new listeners and a great anthology for longtime fans.
