Not only was a fine & special lady in my life born during this year but 1965 also marked the commercial beginning of two great song writers and the bands they formed. Here’s a cuppla classic vids. The first is Ray Davies & the ‘Kinks’ – You Really Got Me. Ray has his younger brother in the band, 17 year old Dave Davies on rhythm guitar. Even the chef gets on the dance floor in this clip crazy man!
Vid 2 sees mega-talented Van Morrison & his band ‘Them’ singing a super-rearranged version of the late 19th century black-gospel-blues number entitled ‘Baby Please Don’t Go’. Unlike the ‘Kinks’ vid that’s live, the taped vid of ‘Them’ has that early and now-nostalgic 'mis-mime’ by Van. There maybe no harmonica player in this clip but it's still top stuff!
