Sir Raymond Douglas Davies, the former frontman of THE KINKS, one of the most
iconic bands ever, was born on 21st June 1944. Happy 75 to a brilliant singer/songwriter,
a compelling storyteller and an engrossing observer. A genuine British pop star who wrote countless gems and is still active as a bona fide solo performer! To celebrate this truly extraordinary phenomenon’s 75th birthday Turn Up The Volume selected five big ones
(not the massive obvious ones like You Really Got Me/Lola/Sunny Afternoon and Victoria
as you would expect, but five ace pearls nonetheless). Here we go…
– WHERE HAVE ALL THE GOOD TIMES GONE –
– DANDY –
– A WELL RESPECTED MAN –
– APEMAN –
– BRINGING UP BABY –
(From 2018 solo LP Our Country: Americana Act 2 )
