"I was a little boy singing sad songs, about 9 or 10 years old in the woods. I listened to my voice coming back to me. It was as high as you could go. I dreamed of being famous as a singer when I was on those cotton fields. I wanted to see the world and meet people."

(Percy Tyrone Sledge, musicista  cantante; Leighton, 25 novembre 1940 – Baton Rouge, 14 aprile 2015)
