The story of the Kinks is a fascinating one. Brothers Ray and Dave Davies from North London form the Kinks with Pete Quaife and Mick Avory. Their journey from North London to stardom in the United States is fraught with ups and downs that are reflected in their music. They belong to the class of musicians that came to prominence during the beat boom and rose to fame by writing exquisite vignettes about like for the working class families in Britain.
