Ray Davies : A Complicated Life
Ray Davies / The Kinks - Book - by Johnny Rogan
(2016)
2016
UPDATE WITH A NEW EPILOGUE In the summer of 1964, aged twenty, Ray
Davies led the Kinks to fame with their number one hit 'You Really Got
Me'. Within months, they were established among the pop elite, swamped
by fans and fast becoming renowned for the rioting at their gigs. But
Ray's journey from working-class Muswell Hill to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall
of Fame was tumultuous in the extreme, featuring breakdowns, bitter
lawsuits, spectacular punch-ups and a ban from entering the USA.
His
relationship with his brother Dave is surely the most ferocious and
abusive in music history. Based on countless interviews conducted over
several decades, this richly detailed and revelatory biography presents
the most frank and intimate portrait yet of Ray Davies.
