"Do Right Woman, Do Right Man" is a song written by Chips Moman and Dan
Penn, and made famous by Aretha Franklin in 1967. Franklin's rendition
was released as the b-side to "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)".
The song has been covered by many artists in different styles.
The Flying Burrito Brothers would record a cover version entitled "Do
Right Woman" for their 1969 album The Gilded Palace of Sin. Although
the song is originally heavily inspired by soul, The Flying Burrito
Brothers cover was a "country-soul waltz".
The Gilded Palace of Sin is the first album by the country rock group
the Flying Burrito Brothers, released on February 6, 1969. It continued
Gram Parsons' and Chris Hillman's work in modern country music, fusing
traditional sources like folk and country with other forms of popular
music like gospel, soul, and psychedelic rock. Although it was not a
a commercial success, peaking at #164 on the Billboard 200,
The Gilded Palace of Sin has been widely regarded as
an influential album in '70s country rock.
