Born in a family of six siblings, he grew up in a small farm without electricity. As a child, he saw his father being hanged wrongly accused of killing a white man. His mother never really recovered and died of illness soon after. Orphaned at 14, he left with his younger brother to Jackson. Then, they migrate to North Carolina, Florida and finally Milwaukee. It is there that he formed his first group in 1968. After that, Percy passes four months in Chicago and finally joined Minneapolis in 1969 where he settled permanently. In Minneapolis, he met "Lazy" Bill Lucas, a bluesman from the local scene, and married Roseanna in 1970. While carrying on odd jobs, he published a few singles on his own and ephemeral label PLS in 1981-82. Became a major attraction in the Minneapolis scene, he took under his wing the young harmonicist R.J. Mischo. Moreover, Percy appears in "Ready to go" in 1992, an album of Mischo released by Blue Loon. It is also for Blue Loon that Percy will record his first album : "A good woman is hard to find". Singer with a strong voice, interesting guitarist, he offers here a beautiful brassy soul-blues disc, powerful and energetic which it is hard to resist. Many pieces stand out : "Your fool done woke up", "A good woman is hard to find", "Somebody else is steppin' in" (a beautiful cover from Denise LaSalle), "She keeps me satisfied", "Grits ain't groceries" among others.
