Ray Davies

Raymond Douglas "Ray" Davies CBE (/ˈdeɪvɪs/ DAY-vis; born 21 June 1944) is an English musician. He was the lead singer and songwriter for The Kinks, which he led with his younger brother, Dave. He has also acted, directed and produced shows for theatre and television.

Since the dissolution of the Kinks in 1996, Ray Davies has embarked on a solo career as a singer-songwriter.

Biography

Davies was born at 6 Denmark Terrace, Fortis Green, in Muswell Hill, North London, England. He is the seventh of eight children born to Fred and Annie Davies, including six older sisters and younger brother Dave Davies. He went to William Grimshaw Secondary Modern School (now called Fortismere School).

Davies was an art student at Hornsey College of Art in London in 1962–1963. In late 1962 he became increasingly interested in music; at a Hornsey College Christmas dance he sought advice from Alexis Korner who was playing at the dance with Blues Incorporated and Korner introduced him to Giorgio Gomelsky, a promoter and future manager of the Yardbirds. Gomelsky arranged for Davies to play at his Piccadilly Club with the Dave Hunt Rhythm & Blues Band, and on New Year's Eve the Ray Davies Quartet opened for Cyril Stapleton at the Lyceum Ballroom. A few days later he became the permanent guitarist for the Dave Hunt Band, an engagement that would only last about six weeks. The band were the house band at Gomelsky's new venture, the Crawdaddy Club in Richmond-upon-Thames; when the Dave Hunt band were snowed in during the coldest winter since 1740, Gomelsky offered a gig to a new band called the Rolling Stones, who had previously supported Hunt at the Piccadilly and would take over the residency. Davies then joined the Hamilton King Band until June 1963; the Kinks (then known as the Ramrods) spent the summer supporting Rick Wayne on a tour of US airbases.

    Sold Me Out

    by: Ray Davies

    I always knew that they'd get me somehow sooner or
    later,
    But with a bullet in the head, a knife in the back,
    Not a pocket calculator.
    Sorry mister, you're all wiped up,
    You're all washed up,
    Sold you out.
    Got no dreams, got no ambition,
    Can't decide, 'cause there's no decision,
    Got no claim to any position,
    Can't compete with the competition.
    You're always complaining,
    It's so depressing,
    But if you're old enough,
    Start to confess it.
    You say, you sold me out,
    To get a better deal for yourself,
    You sold me out,
    And now we want some of your precious wealth,
    Because you sold me out.
    Sold me out,
    Sold me out,
    Sold me out.
    You sold me out,
    To get a better deal for yourself.
    You sold me out,
    And now it's every man for himself.
    Work all your life, put the money in the bank,
    Sign on the dotted line.
    Try to draw it out, the joke's on you,
    Put up the empty sign.
    Sorry mister, we're all sold out.
    Sold me out,
    Sold me out,
    Sold me out,
    Sold me out.
    You, I'm talkin' to you.
    You sold me out,
    To get a better deal for yourself.
    You sold me out,
    And now we want some of your precious wealth.
    And sell you out,
    Like you sold me out.
    Are you in so deep, that you can't get out?
    Got no dreams, got no ambition,
    Can't decide, 'cause there's no decision,
    Got no claim to any position,
    Can't compete with the competition.
    Sold me out,
    Sold me out,
    Sold me out,
    Sold me out.
