I find it strange Elvis Presley never recorded this great song. It would suit his voice and style perfectly.

Mr Ermerm

This song is a fine synthesis of country music and soul. It's little wonder it's been recorded by so many artists from so many different genres.

Thank You Amigos. For such a beautiful song.

Thanks for posting this, but please list correct info. In the intro, Penn says he co-wrote this with Chips Moman. He also wrote songs with the gentleman playing piano and singing harmony, Spooner Oldham, but this ain't one of 'em. :-)

James Carr had an amazing voice but it is nice to hear Dan Penn sing it and Spooner Oldham is always terrific. They age with such grace!

Doug Alder

There are so many great versions of this song, James Carr, The Commitments, Percy Sledge, Ry Cooder are just few that come to mind - no matter who does it though it's always good to hear the songwriter do his own work. Dan Penn wrote this piece - here's his version - enjoy#danpenn #spooneroldham #thedarksideofthestreet #classic #music

Gregg Allman does an awesome version of this song...

Richard Williams

Everyone talks about James Carr's version, but for me there's only Percy Sledge - and this.

Paul Ballenger

Nobody does it better!

Mary o'hara

So wonderful <3

Robert Vander Voort

There are so many wonderful versions of this song. I suppose knowing he wrote the song colors my opinion, but there is a tender, understated quality to the way he sings this that I find quite endearing. I had no idea he was such a great performer until recently. So fine.

Sherry Fortune

oooo, beautiful harmony ....

It's from a dutch radioshow called 2 meter sessies. A bit like unplugged, but without an audience.

Clay Phillips

Beautiful....Can ANYONE tell me what this clip was taken from??I have GOT to get a copy of it...Dan and Spooner,tearing it up!!Awesomeness

Mitch Covington

Love to hear Dan sing! Smooooth!

Michael Ruxton

And today is Dan Penn's birthday. Happy 71st, Mr. Penn.

Don't call it a James Carr classic when the man in the video wrote the song! I prefer Dan Penn singing it, anyway.

Written by Dan Penn and Chips Moman, not Spooner Oldham.
