    Summary note
    Carey Fleiner examines English rock group the Kinks and their social and cultural influences both on and by the group from the early '60s to present day. In and around the biographical survey of the band's career, The Kinks looks at the several contexts in which the Kinks-and more recently, band founders and brother Ray and Dave Davies as solo acts-created and performed their work.
