Dan Penn

Dan Penn trat zuerst als 14-jähriger Autor von "Is A Bluebird Blue" in den Vordergrund, einem bedeutenden Hit für Conway Twitty 1960. Ende der fünfziger Jahre gründete er mit David Briggs (Klavier), Norbert Putnam (Bass), Jerry Carrigan (Schlagzeug) und den Sargträgern eine Gruppe, Dan Penn und die Sargträger, die ihren Namen nach dem Kauf eines Leichenwagens als Zugwagen annahmen.

Sie machten mehrere erfolglose Platten, spielten lokale Alabama-Clubs und -Bars, bevor Rick Hall sie als Session-Band für sein neues Fame-Studio einstellte, wo Penn einen langen und fruchtbaren Teil begann. nership mit einem anderen Fame-Sessioneer, Lyndon 'Spooner' Oldham. Als Songwriting-Partnerschaft produzierten Penn und Oldham mehrere hundert Songs, von denen einige von Künstlern des Hall's eigenen Labels Fame verwendet wurden, einige von anderen Labels individuelle Sessions im Studio absolvierten und einige an Künstler in anderen lokalen Studios weitergegeben wurden, da Penn und Oldham nicht als Autoren an Fame gebunden waren.

Penn schrieb auch mit anderen renommierten Sessioneers, vor allem mit Chips Moman, dessen Team für `Do Right Woman - Do Right Man', einen Millionenverkäufer für Aretha Franklin und die großartige doomige, ländlich-seelische Ballade 'Dark End Of The Street', aufgenommen von James Carr, Roy Hamilton und vielen anderen verantwortlich war. Als Produzent arbeitete Penn unter anderem mit den Box Tops. Er setzte jedoch seine Partnerschaft mit Spooner Oldham fort, und sie gründeten ihre eigene unabhängige Produktionsfirma, die von den Lynn-Lou Studios aus arbeitete. Er hat eigenständig für MGM, Earth, Fame, Atlantic und Happy Tiger aufgenommen.
