David Meikle Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I went along to see Dan in a bar in Glasgow a long time ago. He autographed the only 45 I had by him which I got in a John Anderson soul pack. Anyway i had become acquainted with him through his writing contribution on the all time classic “Dark End Of The Street”. Some years later I played my Soul City copy of “The Beat” by Major Lance and discovered it was cowritten by Dan Penn. If only I had known that at the time i could have talked to him about it instead of John Anderson’s former copy of “Love Is Strange”! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Seano Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Great article. This was a performance that I absolutely loved, back in 1999 on Jools Holland. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Autumnstoned Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Good article and thanks for sharing. Seen him live with Spooner Oldham a couple times - Embassy Rooms, Tottenham Ct Rd and a venue in Piccadilly. Both times brilliant performances. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
