Alan Cynic Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I'm a big Kinks fan, so I'm saddened by this. By the time I first saw them live ('75) he had long gone though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish out of water Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Very sad, not just because he was a great bassist, but because the Kinks were just about the only British band from the 60s who would have been able to reform today with all their original members. I think The Hollies are the only ones who can lay claim to that prize now.Gerry and the Pacemakers maybe? Although that's not something to celebrate really.
