He possessed one of the most talked-about and raved-about voices in the deep south and is well known for writing and co-writing such monstrous hits like "I'm Your Puppet," (1969 Marvin Gaye), "You Left The Water Running," (1966 Otis Redding), "It Tears Me Up," (1966 Percy Sledge) "Do Right Woman Do Right Man" (1967 Aretha Franklin) and "The Dark End Of The Street." (1967 James Carr). With the release of the album 'Do Right Man' there is finally a chance to hear Penn sings these great songs himself, as well as a few new ones that stand up very well to those colossus classics. Great musicians backing the great vocalist Dan Penn, who is honestly singing his heart out. This is what soul music has always supposed to have been.
