There are some people who know all the words to classic songs like \u201cI Never Loved A Man The Way I Loved You\u201d, \u201cMustang Sally\u201d, and \u201cWhen A Man Loves A Woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those monsters owe it all to Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame songwriters who\u2019ve penned tunes for Aretha, Wilson Pickett, Percy Sledge, and more. <\/p>\n

The duo plays an intimate St. Petersburg bungalow this weekend where they\u2019ll do the songs, but tell the stories behind them, too.<\/p>\n

Tickets for the Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham concert happening at Craftsman House on St. Petersburg on Saturday, Oct. 18 are $50.<\/a><\/p>\n
