Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham were integral to the development of Southern soul, members of the cadre of young white kids who played on such quintessentially "black" recordings as "When a Man Loves a Woman" and "Mustang Sally" and wrote countless soul hits.
This compilation features two dozen of their compositions by singers from all points of the musical compass, ranging from stone classics like Percy Sledge's "Out of Left Field" to oddities like Charlie Rich's take on "A Woman Left Lonely", demonstrating how easily their material crossed over from soul to country. Other voices featured include Solomon Burke, Etta James, Tony Joe White, Patti LaBelle, and an intriguing version of "Cry Like a Baby" by Arthur Alexander.
