1966 - Percy Sledge started a two-week run at No. 1 on the U.S. singles chart with When A Man Loves A Woman . Before the recording session, the song had no title or lyrics. When it came time to record the vocals, Sledge improvised the lyrics with minimal pre-planning, using the melody as a guide for rhythm and phrasing.
