Top man and social commentator. Ray Davies writes his version of Sinatra's 'My Way'. Deep down we all feel we are unique and misunderstood. Greatest British songwriter of the 20th century.
This is a lot better than My Way. Sinatra has so many better songs, and it’s not like he wrote the thing to begin with. Although I appreciate the sentiment, it is very sentimental and drags on and on. I think Sid Vicious did the song more justice. Probably the only thing he did worth listening to, and it’s actually pretty great.
Two of the best "B" sides ever recorded. I always thought they could both have been "A" sides. Good to see Ray finally getting some recognition (Knighthood) and a constant interest in his work, which proves its continuing relevance. The subject matter of his lyrics could often apply to any of us, so they are easy to identify with, and this will continue their relevance long after passing trends like psychedelia have been forgotten.
in 3 performances over 15 yrs, never saw him play without a jacket on. wore a boater at one show. good song, great artist. two songs that even..never mind.
I LOVE Ray Davies. I GET this song. I never liked the fact of his arrogance suggesting he didn't have to work (a middle class job). If I didn't have a job, I wouldn't have been able to go see him in concert. No need for YOU to slap him. I will do this next time I see him in Chicago. He can be a snob !
+Largactyl Kid Point taken they give someone ( Jagger ) a knighthood when he became a tax dodger living in France during the 1960's & early 70's. But the most creative songwrier ( Ray Davies ) who paid his taxes while writing songs definitively English gets overlooked.
Always thought of this great Kinks tune as one of the first true great, angry 'punk' songs of its time. Somewhat ironic to hear it being sung by the now multi millionaire Ray playing to what looks like an affluent, predominantly white, middle class American audience and all done with a slightly smug nod and a wink. Almost as depressing as watching the remains of The Who murdering 'My Generation' decades after it lost relevance.
Ray wrote it for Dave to sing. I like all the versions I've ever heard, the old ones and the new ones, Dave's and Ray's, especially the new lyrics, and I'd hate to have to choose--I'd love to hear them sing it together again.

one of my favorite songs to appear on the Sopranos.
Ray's body of work is both prolific and astounding.
Still hits. April 2023. Ray!
One of my most favorite songs ever!~
You're not like everybody else Ray... you are a true GENIUS!
Happy musician on the other side of the mountain, CHEERS RAY
Thanks for the upload. One of the greatest songwriters of all time!
still great song and nice performance
LOVE this song!!

I hate walking around in public seeing people all dressed and acting the same. If you cant be unique then what is the point of being an individual?

Great song.
The Australian band, Jimmy and the Boys, did an amazing cover in 1979. I think Ray would have liked what they did with it.
I'm not like everybody else, definitely. ;)
Ray and Dave Davies are great!!

Why the fu¢k would he want knighthood... Clown
I didn't realize I'm Not Like Everybody Else was a B side! Then again, with the Kinks it's all A sides ;-)
ray's a treasure 🇬🇧
Like everybody else, I miss Dave Davies.
Man he's not dead!!
Still not dead
Sir Ray!
Love this song:)
very nice, ray, thanks.
in 3 performances over 15 yrs, never saw him play without a jacket on. wore a boater at one show. good song, great artist. two songs that even..never mind.
good, very good.
COOL !! muy buena canción !
Davies is the essence of what rock n roll should aspire to be
IESSSSSSSS,,,TREMENDA BANDA
Great, 🎸🎸🎸☺️
This song could be the song of my life when I was young
Sir Raymond Douglas Davies 😎🎸
A, B, C side. Who gives a sh**t. The Davies brothers bring it. Love it. All of it. Close my eyes and let them take me away.
I’ve been listening to the Kinks when I was in Junior High. First casette that I’ve bought was Think Visual album…
Sopranos brought me here
Same
Very nice song, but miss the exelent guitarsound of Dave Davies
also, Where Have All The Good Times Gone on this video.
Fantastic rendition, I only wish he'd have done the entire song.

My friend Ray is unique😮
Who is making music of this caliber today?
I'm sure not hearing any
👍
What a weak crowd! This is one of the best songwriters ever & the people there look like they've never even heard one of his most famous songs.
Pay it loud and proud !
Dave's guitar missed here.
'Coz he's not like everybody else!!
TOP CHOON
Thnk god you never were Ray.
Nice Austin city limits from pbs
Jagger gets a knighthood, why not Ray?
+Largactyl Kid cuz he's not like everybody else?...

Knighthood is pointless. You don't rock n roll to get knighted. If Jagger had any balls he would politely have turned it down.
fuck knighthood! fucking evil!
Well he has been knighted now...
How ironic...everyone singing in unison "I'm not like everybody else".....
In Austin of all places.
An anthem to unify and yet still diversify
Not so ironic at that point: it becomes a social fact.
That's the idea!
Yeah reminds me outlaw motorcycle club members.
Ray Davies and I are both bipolar, we are not like everybody else
“I wonder what’s French for ‘I grew up without a mudda’?……….Sacre Bleu, where is mi mamaaa?” 😂 🔪

Stem logisch wat minder maar muziek nog steengoed
This is the new republican theme song. The potus needs to listen to this and his whole staff. The obstructionist have had their day cbs nbs abc
Ian Knapp where have all the good times gone?
HAHAHA! Trump isn't like any President. Neither are slugs.
Ian Knapp Lol. The Kinks regarded themselves as socialists.
TRUMP 2024 DOWN WITH THE PEDO DEEP STATE
He still had a great voice but not a great version.
Jimmy and boys covered it better
Dave Davies version is better
