<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>NOW UPDATED WITH A NEW EPILOGUE <p/>In the summer of 1964, aged twenty, Ray Davies led the Kinks to fame with their number one hit 'You Really Got Me'. Within months, they were established among the pop elite, swamped by fans and fast becoming renowned for the rioting at their gigs. <p/>But Ray's journey from working-class Muswell Hill to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame was tumultuous in the extreme, featuring breakdowns, bitter lawsuits, spectacular punch-ups and a ban from entering the USA. His relationship with his brother Dave is surely the most ferocious and abusive in music history. Based on countless interviews conducted over several decades, this richly detailed and revelatory biography presents the most frank and intimate portrait yet of Ray Davies.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[Rogan is] adept at relating the social history of the 1950s and 1960s to Davies's brooding character and lyric obsessions . . .He uncovers psychological traumas everywhere and is fascinating on the bitchy rivalries between 1960s pop titans. . . .Such tales make this . . . oceanically researched biography go with a swing." --<i>Sunday Times</i><br><br>"As definitive a view of the man as anyone could hope for." --<i>Times</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Johnny Rogan</b> is the author of over twenty books, including highly acclaimed biographies/musical studies of the Byrds, the Smiths, Van Morrison, Neil Young, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, John Lennon and Morrissey.
