The Kinks is a band that formed in Muswell Hill in north London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies. They were the youngest two of 8 children. Ray and Dave grew up listening to a variety of music from jazz to pop. They fell in love with making music and quickly formed a band with some of their school friends. At first, they called themselves The Ravens and they played a combination of R&B and rock and roll. Finding a lead singer was a difficult task for Ray Dave. Rod Stewart was even a lead singer for them before he formed his own band in 1962.
