During my first year at Trinity University, I had this song playing on my ‘boombox’ one night - I would play it, then rewind the tape to the beginning of the song and lather, rinse, repeat over and over again - I probably had some crush on some girl at the time…anyway, they guys in the room next door (with whom I shared a wall) at some point started banging on the wall, yelling for me to either turn off the music or play something else…aah, college life…. https://youtu.be/EYb84BDMbi0?si=1-jlM1e76nBCflw9 #PercySledge
