Spooner Oldham
**Spooner Oldham** (born Dewey Lindon Oldham Jr.) is the unsung hero behind some of soul and rock's most iconic keyboard riffs. This Alabama-born musician became a cornerstone of the legendary Muscle Shoals sound, laying down warm Wurlitzer and Hammond organ grooves for giants like Aretha Franklin ("I Never Loved a Man"), Wilson Pickett, and Percy Sledge ("When a Man Loves a Woman") during the 1960s. Alongside songwriting partner Dan Penn, he co-wrote enduring classics including "I'm Your Puppet" and "Cry Like a Baby." True to his collaborative spirit, recent releases like *The Muscle Shoals Sessions* and live album *Moments from This Theatre* showcase his knack for effortless, heartfelt performances. A 2009 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee (as a sideman), Spooner’s still spinning magic – proving great music often starts with the quiet genius in the background.
