Ray Davies was lead frontman and songwriter of legendary London-based rock group, The Kinks, from 1964 to 1996, producing mid 1960's gems like "You Really Got Me," "All Day and All of the Night," and "I Need You" to more sensitive, thought-provoking works, such as, "Waterloo Sunset." The Kinks disbanded in 1996, and since then Davies has toured independently. He has released five solo albums, including the recent 2010 album release, See My Friends. On October 26, 2010, Davies was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the AVO Session in Switzerland. Davies and The Kinks were the third British band to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, when Davies was described as "almost indisputably rocks' most literate, witty and insightful songwriter."
