The Kinks were not 'the first ones to incorperate (sic) the sound of the distorted guitar'.  Nobody knows who exactly was the first, but Link Wray's 'Rumble' features a distorted guitar and was recorded in 1958, when Ray Davies was no older than 14.  At the same time as The Kinks were recording 'You Realy Got Me' in 1964, bands like The Kingsmen, The Wailers and The Sonics from the Pacific Northwest (where Hendrix grew up) were experimenting with distortion and fuzz effects.  The Kinks were just the first British band to have a hit single with it.  Hendrix may have joined the British beat scene but he took it to a new level - everybody who was there at the time agrees about that.  Not knocking the Kinks, but I doubt they had a very important influence on Hendrix.
