The Kinks
The Kinks are an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, in 1964 by brothers Ray and Dave Davies.
They are regarded as one of the most influential rock bands of the 1960s.
The band emerged during the height of British rhythm and blues and Merseybeat, and were briefly part of the British Invasion of the United States until their touring ban in 1965 (as a result of constant fighting between the brothers).
Their third single, the Ray Davies-penned
"You Really Got Me", became an international hit, topping the charts in the United Kingdom and reaching the Top 10 in the United States.
Their music was influenced by a wide range of genres, including rhythm and blues, American rock and roll, British music hall, folk, and country.
They gained a reputation for reflecting English culture and lifestyle, fuelled by Ray Davies' wittily observational writing style, and are considered one of the most influential groups of the period.
Early works included albums such as "Face to Face" (1966), "Something Else" (1967), "The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society" (1968), "Arthur" (1969), "Lola Versus Powerman" (1970), and "Muswell Hillbillies" (1971), along with their accompanying singles.
After a fallow period in the mid-1970s, the band experienced a revival during the late 1970s and early 1980s with their albums "Sleepwalker" (1977), "Misfits" (1978), "Low Budget" (1979), "Give the People What They Want" (1981) and "State of Confusion" (1983).
In addition, groups such as Van Halen, the Jam, the Knack, the Pretenders and the Fall covered their songs, helping to boost the Kinks' record sales.
In the 1990s, Britpop acts such as Blur and Oasis cited the band as a major influence.
Ray Davies (rhythm guitar, lead vocals, keyboards) and Dave Davies (lead guitar, vocals) remained members throughout the band's 32-year run.
Longest-serving member Mick Avory (drums and percussion) was replaced by Bob Henrit, formerly of Argent, in 1984.
Original bass guitarist Pete Quaife was replaced by John Dalton in 1969, and Dalton was in turn replaced by Argent bassist Jim Rodford in 1978.
Session keyboardist Nicky Hopkins accompanied the band in the studio for many of their recordings in the mid-to-late 1960s.
In 1969 the band became an official five-piece when keyboardist John Gosling joined them, being replaced by Ian Gibbons in 1979, who remained in the band until they broke up in 1996 as a result of the commercial failures of their last few albums and creative tension between the Davies brothers.
The Kinks have had five Top 10 singles on the US "Billboard" chart.
Nine of their albums charted in the Top 40.
In the UK, The Kinks have had seventeen Top 20 singles and five Top 10 albums.
Four of their albums have been certified gold by the RIAA and the band have sold over 50 million records worldwide.
Among numerous honours, they received the Ivor Novello Award for "Outstanding Service to British Music".
In 1990, the original four members of The Kinks were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as well as the UK Music Hall of Fame in November 2005.
In 2018, after years of ruling out a reunion, Ray Davies and Dave Davies announced they were working to reform the Kinks.
