The Kinks an English rock band from London brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964. Categorized a British Invasion band, The Kinks are recognized as one of the most important and influential rock acts of the era.Their music was influenced by a wide range including rhythm and blues, British music hall, folk, and country. Ray Davies and Dave Davies remained members throughout the group's 32-year run. Original members Pete Quaife bass guitar and Mick Avory drums were replaced by John Dalton in 1969 and Bob Henrit in 1984, respectively. Dalton was in turn replaced by Jim Rodford in 1978. Keyboardist Nicky Hopkins accompanied the band during studio sessions in the mid-1960s. Later, various keyboardists,John Gosling and Ian Gibbons, were full-time members

The Kinks first came to prominence in 1964 with their third single, "You Really Got Me", written by Ray Davies It became an international hit,topping the charts in the United Kingdom and reaching the Top 10 in the United States.in the mid-1960s and early 1970s, the group released a string of commercially and critically successful singles and LPs, and gained a reputation for songs and concept albums reflecting English culture and lifestyle, fuelled by Ray Davies' observational writing style.Albums such as Face to Face, Something Else,,Arthur, Lola accompanying singles, are considered among the most influential recordings of the period.the band experienced a revival during the late 1970s and early 1980s—groups such as Van Halen, The Jam, The Knack, and The Pretenders covered their songs, In the 1990s, acts such as Blur and Oasis cited the band as a major influence.The Kinks broke up 1996, a result of the commercial failures of their last few albums and creative tension between the Davies brothers.
