Percy Tyrone Sledge (November 25, 1940 – April 14, 2015) was an American R&B, soul and gospel singer. He is best known for the song "When a Man Loves a Woman", a No. 1 hit on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B singles charts in 1966. It was awarded a million-selling, Gold-certified disc from the RIAA.
Having previously worked as a hospital orderly in the early 1960s, Sledge achieved his strongest success in the late 1960s and early 1970s with a series of emotional soul songs. In later years, Sledge received the Rhythm and Blues Foundation's Career Achievement Award. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.

My special prayer is a ballad written by Wini Schott . The song was first released on a single by Arthur Prysock (1963). A large number of covers appeared, including a big hit for Percy Sledge (1969 and 1974). Also a modest hit of the Dutch music group Big, Black & Beautiful appeared in 2008. In addition, several other covers appeared in foreign charts.
The song is about a man who hears a choir singing the song Ave Maria . He sings it with all his heart. He sends a special prayer to heaven, with the wish that his loved one will come back to him.
