Dark End of the Street

It is a lot of fun to compare versions of a song done in soul and then country.
Here we have Gram Parsons' version of a song written by Dan Penn and Chips Moman.


And the version I like best, from the movie The Commitments.


And the version most folks will recognize, by Percy Sledge.

Percy is gone now having passed in 2015.
Gram, a Georgia boy, has been gone for nearly 44 years.
