Percy Sledge In South Africa at the "Luxurama" Liner notes: The Luxurama in Cape Town darkened, there was a momentary hush, then the audience exploded in a deafening roar as Percy Sledge walked on the stage. Commencing with his chart buster " My Special Prayer " he went on to perform for 45 thrilling electrifying minutes. Everyone of the 1300 seats was filled, people were sitting in the aisles and the happy audience screamed and cried, shouted and stamped, clapped and cheered for the King of Soul was here in South-Africa at last! " Don't leave Percy ", they cried , " Stay here in South Africa with us ." And stay he did for it was Friday, May 29th 1970, that he opened at the Luxurama Theatre and played three weeks there. On June 22nd he opened at the Three Arts Theatre, Cape Town and played for four weeks. On July 20th he opened at the Empire Theatre in Johannesburg. This LP has captured many exciting moments of a show which proves beyond doubt, that Percy Sledge is the undisputed " King Of Soul". For those who have been fortunate enough - to have seen the show - this LP will always bring to mind an experience which will live with us for the rest of our lives. For those who missed the show, this LP is a must, for it re-lives a rare experience. - Richard Sassoon.
