Ray Davies
Alan Betrock, ZigZag, January 1975
KINK RAY DAVIES is a well respected man when it comes to composing, and dozens of his compositions are justly regarded as classics. There really is no need to list the endless titles here, because ZigZag readers are already well aware of Ray's Kink's work. But Ray has also written and sometimes produced songs for other artists, and we will attempt to cover that less recognised aspect of Ray's musical history here.
