Ray Davies Pt 1

Musical legend Ray Davies looks back on his early musical influences – records that his older sister would send from Canada, how the signature Kinks sound was formed by him and his brother playing guitar on a broken amp in their parents’ front room. He talks about their US ban in the 1960s and how it affected the future and the sound of the band; ending the show by talking about the songwriting process and lyrical inspiration behind the Kinks classic song Waterloo Sunset. Songbook performances: - I Need You - Set Me Free - Sunny Afternoon - Waterloo Sunset
