You Really Got Me is Nick Hastedrsquo;s illuminating biography of The Kinks; drawing on years of in-depth interviews with Ray and Dave Davies and shedding new light on a turbulent 30-year career scarred by suicide attempts; on-stage fights and recurring mental breakdowns.The Kinksrsquo; distorted fuzz cut through popular music like a chainsaw and unexpectedly propelled two brothers from North London straight to the heights of stardom; to stand alongside The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. With exclusive interviews Nick Hasted untangles this turbulence: Why The Kinks became the only British group to be banned from America at the height of their success; why original bassist Pete Quaife quit in 1968; Ray Daviesrsquo; fraught relationship with Chrissie Hynde; how The Kinksrsquo; later years rehabilitated their reputation in America.Updated to include details of the hit musical Sunny Afternoon and an up-to-the-minute report on the troubled relationship between the Davies brothers; You Really Got Me is the ultimate Kinks biography. ldquo;Keen eyed critique of a most contrary bandrdquo; Uncutldquo;Hasted is illuminatingrdquo; Guardian
