From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
"A Well Respected Man" is a song by the British band The Kinks from 1966 (see 1966 in music). It reached #13 on the US charts. Musically, it and "Dedicated Follower of Fashion" 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. It was one of three Kinks songs included on The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll along with You Really Got Me and Lola.

In Popular Culture
 
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.
