Leer másRelease
"Who`ll Be the Next in Line" was first released as the B-side to "Ev`rybody`s Gonna Be Happy", a Kinks single released in Britain. However, that song`s chart performance in the UK was a disappointing #17,[3] breaking a string of top-ten hits for the Kinks. Reprise felt that the "Ev`rybody`s Gonna Be Happy" single was unfit for release in America. The subsequent single, "Set Me Free", was released, but after The Kinks` next proposed single, "See My Friends" was sent to Reprise, they decided to release the "Ev`rybody`s Gonna Be Happy" single with "Who`ll Be the Next in Line" as the A-side. The single charted, hitting #34, which was more successful than the following "See My Friends", which only hit #111.[4] "Who`ll Be the Next in Line" also appeared as a bonus track on some reissues of the Kinks` album Kinda Kinks.
Billboard described the song as a "pulsating funky blues rhythm number which rocks all the way."[5] Cash Box described it as a "fast-moving, rollicking thumper about a fella who has plenty of regrets about his romantic involvements."[6]
Personnel
According to band researcher Doug Hinman:[7]
The Kinks
- Ray Davies – lead vocal, piano
- Dave Davies – electric guitar
- Pete Quaife – bass guitar
- Mick Avory – drums
