My Mum is nearly 80. She told me that when I was young that the greatest British band ever was the Kinks. I didn't believe her because I loved the Pistols and the Clash and even the Smiths.....but you know what? Maybe the Kinks are the greatest and I hope they listen to this lovely cover!!!!!

Mums know best !!!…She was so right!….never ever over produced …no 12 engineers in the studio …just four guys and 1 and a half total genius !

At 53, I first really listened to the Kinks when I was in grade 9, this song in particular really stood out then. Hardly anyone I knew listened to the kinks except their well Known tunes, you really got me, Lola etc. but this one has always been one of my favourites of any songs, let alone the Kinks. What a gift. Great job Ladies. Thank you.

During my years in America, I saw a lot of live music, especially in Texas and Louisiana. Lots of wonderful close harmonies at places like Anderson Fair in Houston and the Old Quarter in Galveston. But as good as they were, none produced the sound of dancing through my soul that the Söderberg sisters do.

Hey ... I grew up listening to the Kinks and covered their songs back in the 60's with my garage/basement band in NYC. I love those guys. If I covered one of their songs now, I would do them a dishonor and would be bored if I tried to replicate what was already perfect. I'm happy these girls even know and appreciate that music, and welcome their own rendition of it like so many other covers they've done. Bravo!

@blackmore4 2 жыл бұрын

@@glennpagemusic You'd think so - with these girls being as good as they are - but no, I don't think so. I think it's another clunky mistake... like the one they did on their otherwise brilliant interpretation of Simon & Garfunkel's 'America'. Their version of the _"Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces"_ middle eight is painful in its clunky mishearing of the proper and WAY superior original chord structure. To argue that they _meant_ to be be massively inferior doesn't wash because, as I said, they're too good. Humbling really; even great artists are capable of clunky mishaps.

Ray Davies and The Kinks were, together with The Beatles and The Stones, my first big idols. Coming from Sweden Rays lyrics gave me a bigger picture of England and things english. And of course I learned the language much better by listening to Kinks records than my teachers in school could teach me ;) FAK is, in my mind, so very talented that discussing their pronunciation is really petty.
