Ray Davies (born June 21, 1944 at Fortis Green, London, full name Raymond Douglas Davies) is an influential english rock musician, best known as lead singer-songwriter for The Kinks - one of the most influential, prolific and long-lived british invasion bands - which he led with his younger brother, Dave Davies. He has also acted, directed and produced shows for theater and television.

Since the demise of The Kinks in the mid-90s Ray Davies has embarked on a critically successful solo career. His January 2006 release Other People’s Lives was his first top 30 hit in the UK since 1980s, when he worked with The Kinks. He released his second solo release Working Man’s Café in October 2007.

Thought y'all might be interested in checking out this video of Ray Davies' new live reworking of "Waterloo Sunset", backed by a huge choir. http://www.dailymotion.com/Vivalabeat Ray's just-released cd is called The Kinks Choral Collection. He's reworked several Kinks classics, all with the addition of a gorgeous choir. Enjoy!

Listened to Other People's Lives again today. Excellent album. The Morning After and Stand Up Comic are two of my favourites. To anyone who's heard it, how is the new Kink's Choral Collection album

"One More Time": a perfect moment in time for this song- Important to remember what he's saying here. Great inspiration. **I'm having a hard time creating a Playlist using Last.fm software/addon in my Firefox. *?**.. if anyone can help, thanks ahead of time!**

If you love Ray Davies' music, rush to see his new musical at Theatre Royal Stratford East COME DANCING. Not only is it a great show - but he's in it too! It's running until 25th October. http://www.stratfordeast.com/
