Couple Profile

David Russell Gordon Davies (born 3 February 1947, in Fortis Green, London) is an English rock musician (singer and lead guitarist), most well known for his membership with the English rock band The Kinks, which he founded with Pete Quaife in 1963. His brother Ray, who became the best-known member of the band, joined soon after. The quartet was formed when drummer Mick Avory joined. Davies had a turbulent relationship with Avory, one of the reasons behind the latter`s departure from the band in the mid 1980s, although the two had been roommates in the mid 1960s. The group disbanded in 1996, but Davies continued to have a steady musical career as a performer and songwriter until a hypertension-induced stroke in 2004 sidelined him. Although never attaining the fame and reputation of his older brother, who wrote and sang lead on most of the Kinks` songs, Dave Davies wrote some hits himself. These include "Death of a Clown", "Love Me Till The Sun Shines", "Susannah`s Still Alive", and "Living on a Thin Line". He is also known for his innovative way of creating the buzzing tone for the power chords heard in the hit single "You Really Got Me" in 1964. Davies published an autobiography, entitled Kink, in 1996, in which he discussed his bisexuality at length, including a sexual relationship with Long John Baldry. He also wrote of the tense professional relationship with his brother over the Kinks` 30-year career. In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Davies 88th on the list of the "100 greatest guitarists of all time".
