The kinks - A well respected man

"A Well Respected Man" is a song by the British band The Kinks, originally released on the UK EP Kwyet Kinks in September 1965 (see 1965 in music). It was released as a single in the US in October and reached #13. Musically, it marked the beginning of an expansion in the Kinks' inspirations, drawing much from British music hall traditions, as well as from American rhythm and blues used later in songs such as "Dedicated Follower of Fashion". Following the success of that single, "A Well Respected Man" was also released as a single in mainland Europe in March 1966 (although pressed in the UK, it was an export only issue).

It was one of three Kinks songs included on The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of the 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll along with "You Really Got Me" and "Lola".
The song was featured in the 2007 film Juno and its award-winning soundtrack.
The song can be heard during the end credits of the 2004 film The Life and Death of Peter Sellers.
The song can also be heard in the Criminal Minds episode, "Normal" , Supernatural episode, "It's A Terrible Life."
The song can also be heard in the Homicide: Life on the Street episode, "Colors"
The song was also used in the small British play A Well Respected Man, written and starring Rachel Sodah, Nicola Sewell and Benjamin Feist of Staines, England.
