Pete Quaife the bassist with The Kinks sadly passed away during the week. He was a founding member of one of the greatest and most influential if slightly underrated bands of all time, playing on all of the early Kinks classics, including ‘You Really Got Me’, ‘All Day and All of the Night’ and ‘Waterloo Sunset’.
The Kinks have always been a special band for me, from the early years of hearing old crackley 45s being played by my da to going out and buying the records and CDs myself. Here’s two favorites from one of the great albums The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society.
