We named our house Shangrila in 1972 after this song.
We are still in it and as Ray might say ",this is where we belong."
We were there at The Roundhouse 36 years later when he sang this song and the video was shot for the BBC proms
Wonderful night.

Ray is a musical maestro, end of story!

Saw this song (and others) performed by Ray and the choir at the Royal Festival Hall a couple of days ago. A fabulous concert, loved every second of it!
Thanks for posting this wonderful clip.

I moved from australia to london in 1964 and the Kinks was the first LP I ever bought. I was 13yo. I still hold the Kinks as the best band to come out of Britain. Long live Ray Davies. Long live Australia. I shall never tire of either

He is too great to bother with knighthood, but I do understand your point. Like you, being American and I Canadian, I have a secret envy of the Brits over this business with their amazing songwriters!

The Kinks Choral Collection cd by Ray Davies and The Crouch End Chorus is now out in the USA, and it's great!

This was one of my favorite Kinks songs. I saw them in concert many times and always wondered why they never played it... This is great!
I totally agree...Ray should be knighted...absolutely. The UK should be so VERY proud of one of the world's greatest writers/performers....ever!
Ram on,
