When I came into the studio, I was shaking like a leaf. I was scared. I hummed it all my life, even when I was picking and chopping cotton in the fields. I just wailed out in the woods and let the echo come back to me. - Percy Sledge on his most famous song.."When a Man Loves a Woman".
Those things don't happen today. I feel sorry for the kids in the industry today. They have on sunglasses, eat caviar in jet planes, but they'll never know the true feeling that we did. - Ben E. King

Sirscrapalot - As a vessel is known by the sound, whether it be cracked or not; so men are proved, by their speeches, whether they be wise or foolish. - Demosthenes
