The Kinks Part 2: Well Respected Men

The second part of this Kinks retrospective looks at their career from 1970 until their split in 1996.
This period saw the Kinks start to fade from popularity in the UK, somewhat due to Ray Davies' preoccupation with more theatrical concepts, even though it was all the rage in the Prog Rock/Glam Rock era. However, with their ban in the USA lifted, they gradually built a large following as they were a fine live act. This paid dividends by the end of the 1970s, with a string of successful albums. Yet the shadow of their 60s repertoire remained back home. This though had it's own payback as by the time of the band's demise in the mid-90s, The Davies brothers and co were touted as one of the founding fathers of Britpop.
