Sir Raymond Davies was born 21st June,1944, in Fortis Green,London,England, he had six older sisters, and one younger brother, Dave, who is the lead guitarist with the Kinks.Ray Davies is affectionately known as the ‘Godfather of Britpop,’ together with his brother Dave they formed the Kinks in 1964,the band were active until 1996. In 2018 the brothers reformed the band in order to release new music (see also best songs 770.)
‘Where Have All the Good Times Gone,’ like most of the Kinks output was written by Ray Davies, and originally appeared as the ‘B’ side of their 1965 single ‘Till the End of the Day,’it was then added to their fifth studio Album, ‘The Kink Kontroversy.’The song is about looking back on childhood days, when everything seemed so much easier and simple.There are two other versions well worth checking out, in 1973 David Bowie recorded the song for his cover versions Album ‘Pin Ups,’and in 1982, the American Rock band Van Halen included their cover on the Album ‘Diver Down.’
‘Daddy didn’t have no toys,and mummy didn’t need no boys.’
