Dan Penn – $1 million
Greatest Hits: The Dark End of the Street, Cry Like a Baby
Oldham Spooner, The Box Tops, and Chips Moman all had the distinct pleasure of working with Dan Penn. Being a rather elusive figure when it came to public appearances, Dan Penn was happier when he was left to his own devices writing music. It was at the Press Publishing Business that Chips Moman and Dan Penn struggled through a difficult partnership. Penn would have a smoother time with Aretha Franklin. So, quite an incredibly diverse portfolio!
