I love Dave Davies. I think he has always been a really wise 'old soul,' and that songs such as this one and 'Susannah's Still Alive' reflect a remarkable maturity and insight into the sadness of life, considering how young he was when he wrote the songs.

I asked many friends (14; ~ 19 - 21 yrs old) and EVERYBODY of them know the beatles and the stones and - no joke - no single one know the kinks, NO SINGLE ONE.. crazy.

Toll

[MarkAllanBarnes]

Very good quality audio. Thank you for sharing this, but why call it a solo performance when it clearly isn't?

[zbobmarkz]

Pretty amazing when the interviewer asks Dave what the next single from the group will be, and he responds "... it could be one of about a 100," without a trace of self-import or sounding like he's bragging. You talk about prolific. Someday the Kinks will really get their due.

[Profedrybicki]

This has haunted me for years...and I didn't realise Dave Davies had done it! Better than his brother, if you ask me.

[FranciscoD0MING0]

WTF is this??

I typed in "BBC" hoping I would get Big Black Cock but all i get is this shit

[kemwhareaitu]

Dude....get the fkn lyrics right. And your fkn punctuation!

[redredreds100]

@TheSunshineSuperman when i was kid, in London, with my tranistor radio tucked under my pillow, I listened to radio caroline, my favourite record was Sunshine Superman.

[MargotMilevaZ]

I always thought of Dave as just that ridiculously pretty teenager that played lead guitar for my favorite band...I have so much more respect for him now.
