@tc_morekindness Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham wrote a lot of great songs together. This has been one of the most-played CDs in my household:
"Sweet Inspiration: The Songs Of Dan Penn And Spooner Oldham" (2011)
https://www.acerecords.co.uk/sweet-inspiration-the-songs-of-dan-penn-and-spooner-oldham
There's also a second volume, and a third collection with songs that Dan Penn wrote either alone or with others.
@tc_morekindness While I was looking for the original 1965 Dan Penn recording, I also found this very nice live performance by Penn and his co-writer, Spooner Oldham:
Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham: I'm Your Puppet (1999)

@tc_morekindness I included a later recording by Dionne Warwick on my own #ToysAndGames list, but I also considered the original version by Dan Penn as well:
Dan Penn: I’m Your Puppet (1965)

For this #MusicWomenWednesday I've chosen one of my favorite performances by Aretha Franklin:
Aretha Franklin: Do Right Woman, Do Right Man (1967)

There are lots of great versions of this Chips Moman / Dan Penn tune, but Clarence Carter's reading is by far the funniest of them all. It starts with a long, unforgettable, totally off-the-wall spoken intro - but when he finally starts to sing, he does an earnest, powerful version of the song:
Clarence Carter: Making Love (At the Dark End of the Street) (1969)
