Gettin' Kinky Wid It

Great and lasting rock bands have certain things in common: talent, a knack for writing catchy hooks, and an affinity for drama. The Kinks have Ray Davies.

Watch below to see one of Rock 'n Roll's most gifted song-writers dedicating "Waterloo Sunset" and "Days" to recently departed Kinks band member Pete Quaife. Ray played this year at Glastonbury to a crowd of thousands; despite England's World Cup loss the crowd still gets into it.

Note: have tissues on deck.

Additional note: watch for the curly-haired choral singer at the 6:17 mark...epochal life moment for him.
