(‘the kinks’ were an english rock band formed in ‘muswell hill’ (‘north london’) in 1964 by brothers ‘ray/dave davies’)
.
(…the british ‘wilson brothers’…?)
(…or more a pre-cursor to those rascally ‘gallagher boys’…?)
.
(they are regarded as one of the most important and influential rock bands of the era)
(the band emerged during the height of ‘british rhythm and blues’ and ‘merseybeat’, and were briefly part of the ‘british invasion’ of the US until their ‘touring ban’ in 1965)
(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’)
(between the ‘mid-1960s’ and ‘early 1970s’, the group released a string of ‘hit singles’; studio albums drew good reviews but sold less than compilations of their singles)
(their music was influenced by a wide range of genres, including ‘rhythm and blues’, ‘british music hall’, ‘folk’, and ‘country’)
(they gained a reputation for reflecting english ‘culture’ and ‘lifestyle’, fueled by ray davies’ observational writing style)
(albums such as something else (1967), the kinks are the ‘village green preservation society (1968), arthur (1969), ‘lola’ versus ‘powerman’ (1970), along with their accompanying singles, are considered among the most influential recordings of the period)
(after a fallow period in the ‘mid-1970s’, the band experienced a revival during the ‘late 1970s’ and ‘early 1980s’ with albums sleepwalker, misfits, low budget, give the people what they want and “state of confusion”)
(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)
(‘the kinks’ broke up in ‘1996’, a result of the commercial failures of their last few albums and creative tension between the ‘davies brothers’)
(‘ray davies’ (lead vocals / rhythm guitar) and ‘dave davies’ (lead guitar / vocals) remained members throughout the group’s 32-year run)
(longest-serving member ‘mick avory’ (‘drums’ and ‘percussion’) was replaced by ‘bob henrit’ (formerly of ‘argent’) in 1984)
(original bassist ‘pete quaife’ was replaced by ‘john dalton’ in ‘1969, and ‘dalton’ was in turn replaced by ‘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 5-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’)
(the group had 5 ‘top 10’ singles on the US billboard chart)
(9 of their albums charted in the ‘top 40’)
(in the ‘UK’, the group had 17 ‘top 20’ singles and 5 ‘top 10’ albums)
(4 of their albums have been certified ‘gold’ by the ‘RIAA’ and have gone on to sell over ’50 million albums’ worldwide)
(among numerous honors, they received the ‘ivor novello award’ for “outstanding service to british music”)
.
(in 1990, the original 4 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’)
