Classic. The late great Ray Moore used to play this, reminds me a bit of "Mr Armageddon" by the Locomotive.

Damned-straight, sir! I had another version of this song on another RAY STEVENS album. I think it was the "live"-version. It was good, of course, but NOT as goog as the 45 version.

Thank You. I thought I was the ONLY one who noticed. My knowledge of RAY STEVENS is so LIMITED, I didn't even KNOW that he DID sing any other "SERIOUS" songs.

On this day in 1970 {July 25th} Ray Stevens performed "Mr. Businessman" on his NBC-TV weekly program 'The Ray Stevens Show'... Two years earlier on August 3rd, 1968 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #28 and spent 7 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #7 on the Canadian RPM Tracks chart... Mr. Stevens, born Harold Ray Ragsdale, will celebrate his 75th birthday in six months on January 24th...

You can wheel and deal the best of them And steal it from the rest of them You know the score, their ethics are a bore
