I was aware when revising (or extending) the lyric for a wedding of two constructive, committed individuals, that I was avoiding the dark elements of what I thought of as Sledge's lyrics. I say that because your sending me <a href="http://www.metrolyrics.com/when-a-man-loves-a-woman-lyrics-percy-sledge.html" rel="nofollow">a link to the lyric</a> occasioned my noticing, for the first time (even though I had read the lyric several times), that it was written, not by Mr. Sledge, but by Andrew James Wright and Calvin Houston Lewis! <i>Thank you.</i>Moristotlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02211602374384087074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676316.post-77679557960655835952015-10-19T07:52:23.987-04:002015-10-19T07:52:23.987-04:00Morris, thanks for your sweet update of Percy Sled...Morris, thanks for your sweet update of Percy Sledge's bitter-sweet song When A Man Loves A Woman. Your link gives a heart-rending version of Sledge who is in agony of fear that the woman he has fallen in love to is bad, taking all his extravagent gifts and will probably drop him.<br />It's a great rendition which I now know why I forgot. It is too sad.<br />RolfRolf Dumkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421053558040152196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676316.post-41656057923099775642015-10-16T10:50:18.765-04:002015-10-16T10:50:18.765-04:00Thank you so much!

Note that I say "read"; I didn't attempt to sing it. But I plan to revise it line by line and work with a composer/arranger to set it to string music that I HOPE I will be up to actually singing one day, perhaps at a first anniversary party.Moristotlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02211602374384087074noreply@blogger.com
