Ray Davies Knighted

[naomi24]

Not a question, but a man whose enormous talent goes largely under-rated and often unrecognised by many outside the music industry – in my opinion. A veritable genius. Well done him!

Should have been Poet Laureate imo, genius, brilliant lyrics.

Yes, good on him. A great singer and songwriter. I'm not sure I agree with the whole concept of knighthoods given to people doing the job they dreamed of doing, but he deserves it as much as anyone.

Nice to see him being recognised at last. Sunny Afternoon has always been my favourite.

Excellent. The Kinks should have been as big as the Beatles.

Let's agree on something Naomi :-)
Arise Sir Ray, the Kink of Pop ...

[Cloverjo]

Have any of you seen the musical - Sunny Afternoon. If you like the Kinks' music you'll love this show.

[murraymints]

I missed out on that clover...sold out by the time I knew about it..will keep watching for it to return

[Chipchopper]

Well deserved and not before time!
I remember my school friends and me liking the Kinks because the songs had a story to them.

We saw Sunny Afternoon at Milton Keynes last year. It is a fantastic show.

Well done to Ray.

Long over due imo.
