人生的遇很奇妙,有在期之下遇人,也此就改了自己的人生。美黑人歌手Percy Sledge才在院工作不久,就由之前一位信任他的病患介,了唱片作人Quin Ivy,再唱,得到了出唱片的合。
1967,Percy Sledge推出他的第一首歌《When a Man Loves a Woman》,竟然就在排行榜得冠,也成世界的曲。在接下的年,都有入榜佳作,Percy Sledge也成了受迎的歌手,尤其是在荷、德和非洲大,在南非,平均一年有百的演唱。
此首《My Special Prayer》Percy Sledge於1969所行的曲,然入榜的名次不高 ( Hot 100 #93 / R&B #44 ),而翻唱者也不少,然是於叫好不叫座的歌曲。Percy Sledge透露,他唱《When a Man Loves a Woman》,是以在1965稍晚工作被解、同女友也他的情投入。此曲祈的目的,是呼女友能回,或Percy Sledge也是以同的心情唱吧!

南非歌手Ray Dylan 2009的版本
While the choir sang, Ave Marie
I was singing with all my heart
And I sent a special prayer, up to heaven
That you'll return to me before I fall apart
While the choir sings hallelujah
I was singing with all my heart
Darling please come back and never leave me again
And this will be (this will be) the answer to my prayer
And I'll wait, here for the answer
That you'll come back, come back I pray
For if you stayed, away another hour
Well I don't think I could last another day
While the choir sings hallaluyah
I was singing with all my heart
Darling please, come back and never leave me again
And this will be an answer to my prayer
