Saturday Music Post - Do Right Woman, Do Right Man

"Do Right Woman, Do Right Man" was written for Aretha Franklin by Chips Morman and Dan Penn, and produced at the Atlantic Records studio in New York by Jerry Wexler. An earlier attempted recording at FAME Studio in Muscle Shoals was abandoned after an altercation between Franklin's manager (and husband) and the FAME producer. The release, with Franklin playing piano and her sisters singing backup, was listed as one of Rolling Stone's 500 greatest songs of all time.

Today's post has more audio clips than usual, because I couldn't resist. You can hear them at The Faculty Lounge.
