Happy Birthday Ray

Ray Davies can ride the bus at reduced fare today. It's his 65th birthday. Ray and his younger brother Dave co-founded the Kinks, one of the few groups associated with the "British invasion" to attain considerable longevity. Ray played guitar, sang and wrote most of the band's hit songs. Their first big hit came in 1964 with You Really Got Me




One of my favoutite Kinks songs is Lola. Here's a performance from 1970.




Happy Birthday Ray.
