Ray Davies, the cornerstone of the Kinks, is one of his countryâs greatest songwriters. Over four decades he has provided a feast for all comers, regardless of social station, from the simple urgency of âYou Really Got Meâ to the detached melancholy of âCome Dancingâ . Our film takes a look at a career that has spanned 40 years â we talk to Ray about his work, life and inspirations, featuring his music from the hits of the early 60âs through to work on his new album and upcoming musical âCome Dancingâ. The programme includes interviews with David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Paul Weller, Bob Geldof, Chris Difford, Clive Davis and journalists, who all show their respect and admiration for a man who is globally celebrated. Our film, illustrated with archive footage, specially shot performances and stills, will give an insight into the unique creative world of one of Britainâs most successful and influential songwriters and performers.
