The Sounds of Summer- Day 10 of 95- the final day of June 2019. The song for the day “Sunny Afternoon” -The Kinks. For some reason I have always pictured this song being on a Sunday afternoon. Maybe that is because traditionally for me at least Sunday afternoon has always been my laziest time of the week. “Sunny Afternoon” was written by The Kinks frontman Ray Davies. The single was released in the summer of 1966 and went to #1 in the United Kingdom and #14 in the United States. A song that would certainly be on the shortlist of best Kinks songs and a 1960’s rock classic.
It’s a good’n.
There’s something about Kinks tracks isn’t there. I’ve always thought the level of sophistication and craft was on another level to their contemporaries.
Still one of my favorite Kinks tunes!
You can’t mistake Ray Davies.
