"It Tears Me Up" #20 12/17/1966

The third straight Top 20 pop hit and third straight Top 10 R&B hit for Percy Sledge was yet another product of the Muscle Shoals scene. The music that came out of that little corner of northwest Alabama is just astounding. In the 70's everybody from the Rolling Stones to Cher to Lynyrd Skynyrd to Donny Osmond recorded there.
