The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Dave Davies and Ray Davies in 1963. The Kinks, who rose to fame during the mid-1960s and were part of the British Invasion of the US, are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era.
Their music was influenced by a wide range of genres, including rhythm and blues, British music hall, folk and country. 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. Keyboardist Nicky Hopkins accompanied the band during studio sessions in the mid-1960s. In 1969 keyboardist John Gosling joined the band, making them an official five-piece, while Ian Gibbons replaced him in 1979, playing in the band until its eventual demise.

The Kinks were an English band, formed in North London in 1964. Although now mostly remembered for frontman Ray Davies ‘ social commentary, which is often cited as an influence on bands like The Jam and Blur , they were initially a harder-rocking version of The Who . Their rowdy on-stage behaviour surpassed even Townshend and Moon, and they were banned from performing in America from 1965 to 1969 – effectively ending their chances of making it big there.
Their early sound is characterised by Dave Davies ‘ experimentation on guitar. “You Really Got Me” and “All Day and All of the Night” were the products of him playing with a damaged amp, whilst Ray was inspired to write droning “See My Friends” after hearing Indian fishermen chant on the way to work. This song inspired the likes of “Norwegian Wood” and “Paint It Black” .
A breakdown saw Ray shift his priorities. The band were no longer high energy rockers. Instead, Ray wrote songs about ordinary life. Products of this period include “Sunny Afternoon” , “The Village Green Preservation Society” , and “Waterloo Sunset” .
As the 60s turned into the 70s, Ray’s vision expanded, and he began to write theatrical rock operas. Although critically acclaimed, these were commercial failures, and the band returned to their trademark style in the late 70s. They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, and officially broke up in 1996.
The classic line-up consisted of brothers Ray and Dave Davies on songwriting and vocal duties, with Dave on lead and Ray on rhythm guitar, supported by Pete Quaife on bass and Mick Avory on drums. In the mid-60s, the band frequently collaborated with the renowned session keyboardist, Nicky Hopkins . The band eventually hired permanent keyboardists, and only the Davies brothers remained by the time of their break up. The two have pursued solo careers since.

If you’re going to do a concept album about the Victorian era, you’d better start it off by making absolutely certain that the listener knows what you’re doing. “Victoria” accomplishes that by bouncing back and forth between the main character, Arthur, and an omniscient narrator from the present day, who can point out all the most obvious differences about the Victorian era.
From the album “Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)”
[Chorus] Well, I'd left home just a week before And I'd never, ever kissed a woman before Lola smiled and took me by the hand She said, "Little boy, gonna make you a man" Well I'm not the world's most masculine man But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man And so is Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola [Outro] Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola Lola

Lola is an attractive transvestite , according to songwriter Ray Davies, and the narrator is a young man flattered by the attention paid to him by her.
Davies claimed that he was inspired to write “Lola” after Kinks manager Robert Wace spent a night in Paris dancing with a transgender woman. However, Mick Avory claimed that the song was inspired by his frequenting of transgender bars in west London.
Released as the lead single from the band’s eighth studio album, it became their fourth of five top 10 hits in the US, peaking at #9 in October 1970. In their homeland the UK, it reached #2 – held from the top spot by Elvis Presley.
