thanks for posting this

this is one of my all time favorite songs.

@greasegun49 I'd say Ray is tops.. he has such a mature sensibility.. he is as much a sentimental music hall ham as Paul McCartney and yet he has a sad biting mature perspective that McCartney never pursued lyrically. I'd say the same about Pete Townshend who is perhaps more of a moralist.

@Rankinbacca So true... Ray Davies and Pete Townshend are the top Brit Rock songwriters followed by Lennon & McCartney whose level of productivity and quirkiness often overshadow Ray, Pete, and Jagger Richards. As live bands go.. I guess the Yardbirds and Pretty Things would be in there behind the Who and then the Stones with the Beatles being indifferent to their live act though they were the best at making records. Kinks would peak 15 years later as a live band!

nice gitter sound from Dave D.

who the f*&^&^% has given 2 negative ones?

Where I am from, Ray Davies is always spoken of when revisiting the "60s" and "70s".
He was quite a stage actor. Sort of an off-beat fey approach. Ray is quite unique in his view of the world. Laughs at it a lot. I saw them 13 times back then because they were so entertaining. We would leave singing the tunes for days.
-
Oh yeah, he is topshelf among British songwriters. Smart guy, fine minds appreciate each other..

@richio80 Replace Jagger with Townsend and you are correct. Ray has been seriously overlooked and in many cases ripped off without due credit. What a great musician.
