While everyone is going on about "When A Man Loves A Woman" by Percy Sledge, "Take Time To Know Her" was a later hit of the heartbreak of the no good, unfaithful woman he just had to have despite the best advice of those who knew better. For some reason none of the news sources want to remember that one. These days we don't have the soul balladiers or even a soul in the music. Percy Sledge could wail that broken heart.

They don't remember it either because (a) no one there is old enough to have heard it when it was a hit or (b) those old enough to have heard it in the late '60s don't remember it -- or 90 percent of the other songs they heard on the radio for a few weeks nearly 50 years ago. Nobody is consciously avoiding remembering it, if such a thing is even possible.
