I have recently been buying a lot of old Kinks CDs. I have always liked them, but essentially just in the 60s, "Lola" and a couple songs from the 80s. But I have found out they were quite good in between and up until they may or may not have broken up.
This one CD i was listening to had, along with a lot of songs written by that Ray Davies guy, one written by an Ellas Otha Bates and several by a Shel Talmy. I looked them up.
Ellas Otha Bates had written a song called "Cadillac." I had only previously heard it by a Chicago group called New Colony Six back in the 60s. A great car song, especially with them spelling it out. The Kinks did a great version as well. I found out that Ellas Otha Bates was none other than one Bo Diddley.
