[QUOTE=Dezzy] In relation to The Kinks, who reckons the single released by Dave Davies called Death of a Clown is a great song.

Ray Davies has influenced so many songwriters today. Particularly Paul Weller. "David Watts" is a great song. The Fall covered "Victoria." Kirstie McCall covered "Days." Apparently, according to Ray Davies autobiography, John Lennon was a real fan of "Wonder boy" and had it played over and over again one night in a nightclub during the sixties, by the DJ.
"See my friends" caused a bit of controversy at the time because it was seen to have homosexual overtones.
And the Davies brothers were fighting each other long before Noel and Liam!
Sorry, a bit obsessed!
Yes Dezzy, Death Of A Clown is a great song. Easy to forget how young Dave was when they were famous. I think he was only just 17 when they had their first hit...are you asleep yet?
