Today I'm playing a song by the Kinks that made it to #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October of 1965. This song is even one of three Kinks' songs included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of the 500 songs that shaped Rock and Roll... and yet, it rarely shows up on oldie station playlists. The song is "A Well Respected Man" and Ray Davies wrote the song as a satirical commentary after staying at a luxury resort and observing the upper class guests. But it's a great song, and it dominated the airwaves during the height of the British Invasion.
