Dan Penn (born Wallace Daniel Pennington, November 16, 1941) is an American songwriter, singer, musician, and record producer,[1] who co-wrote many soul hits of the 1960s, including "The Dark End of the Street" and "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man" with Chips Moman[2] and "Cry Like a Baby" with Spooner Oldham.[3] Penn also produced many hits, including "The Letter", by The Box Tops.[4] He has been described as a white soul and blue-eyed soul singer. Penn has released relatively few records featuring his own vocals and musicianship, preferring the relative anonymity of songwriting and producing.[5]
Dan Penn produced an album on Ronnie Milsap in 1970 on Warner Bros. (AKA the Red Album)
