	Ray Davies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Davies was born and raised in the North London area of Muswell Hill.
		Davies wrote a semi-fictional memoir called X-Ray, wittily subtitled 'the unauthorised autobiography', which is an ironic romp through the Swinging Sixties, and settles burning issues ranging from which band produced the first concept album (not The Who), to whether tour companion Gene Pitney had an affair with Marianne Faithfull or not.
		Davies and the Kinks were the third British band (along with The Who) to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, at which Davies was called "almost indisputably rock's most literate, witty and insightful songwriter." They were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005.

		Ray Davies is the lead singer, chief songwriter, and rhythm guitarist in the Kinks, one of the most long-lived of the British Invasion rock groups of the 1960s.

	Ray Davies - Salon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ray and Dave Davies were the youngest of eight children whose ages spanned almost 30 years; the six elder siblings were all girls.
		Ray is always acknowledged as the great mind behind the Kinks, but lurking in the shadows of the band's story is the niggling sense that Dave completes him in some way -- or, at the very least, tends to piss him off so much that the tension throws off a creative charge.
		The uneasiness between Ray and Dave Davies has fueled a number of Kinks' songs, like the baroque and eerie 1966 "Two Sisters," in which brotherly strife is transmuted into a story about a married woman's envy of her sister's freedom: "She was so jealous of her sister...

	Ray Davies: Other People’s Lives - PopMatters Music Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ray Davies has done it more than almost any other man in rock, and Other People’s Lives is as a good a collection as you’re going to hear in 2006.
		Davies sings about “the barrier we cross” as “we crawl outside ourselves”—an optimistic song about the “morning after” something that might be 9/11 but is just as likely a smaller problem—yours or mine.
		Davies cranks his voice into a nasal overdrive, but still harbors optimism—seeing the moment “after the mist clears” even though the narrator is a “sinner waiting at the travelers’ rest seeking refuge from the storm” who is “falling upwards into the great, wide blue”.

		Whether Ray did or didn't slug someone isn't important- the result is that the band was banded from gigging in the USA for four years.
		Ray's songs ran the gamut from the commercialization of culture, a plea to a lost love, working as a sideman and a sympathetic nod to a fop.
		Ray wasn't depressed anymore it seemed and he wasn't a working-class hero either- he seemed to find a country respite.

	Ray Davies: A Chat
		As for 52-year-old frontman Ray Davies, his latest self-reinvention has come in the form of a small solo show that evolved out of the publication of his book X-Ray: The Unauthorized Autobiography in 1994.
		Davies is too proud to be openly bitter-thus X-Ray's caustic and at times monomaniacal sentiments are somewhat blurred by its narrative structure, a faux interview between a young journalist with a bitter old man called R.D. But he's still ambitious enough to recognize the power of his own past.
		Davies and The Kinks never imploded, by they never really exploded the way some of their contemporaries did.

		Yet Davies writes masterful lyrics from the perspective of the observer -- a point of view that dominates solo album "Other People's Lives," his first -- and weaves the new material in and out of Kinks classics for a staggeringly enjoyable two hours in concert.
		Davies, 61, who has battled demons seemingly since "All Day and All of the Night" hit the charts in 1965, is at the top of his game, focused and comfortable climbing in and out of songs written in periods of anger, despair and disappointment.
		Davies had come to the U.S. in the hopes of finding inspiration and settled on New Orleans; after he was shot during a robbery and forced to stay, Davies emerged from a period of turmoil with a cogent work that plays as well onstage as it does on CD.
