  1. @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)

    There's also a second volume, and a third collection with songs that Dan Penn wrote either alone or with others.

  3. @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:
