All Day And All Of The Night is a Kinks song that was released in 1964 and reached number seven in the United States, and number two in the United Kingdom. The popularity of the song surrounds a power-riff on guitar that is easily recognizable. All Day And All Of The Night was released on a Kinks EP – Kinksize Hits.

The Kinks branching out from their earlier works and fare of Rock and Roll performed a cross-gender-bending piece considered controversial for the times. Written by Ray Davies, Lola is about an encounter between a man and transvestite named Lola he meets in a SoHo club in London.

You Really Got Me is another great Kinks hit featuring a compelling guitar riff that is immediately recognizable and memorable, similar to All Day And All Of The Night, You Really Got Me was destined to become a Kinks classic. Written by Ray Davies, You Really Got Me propelled The Kinks into mainstream rock and roll on both coasts.

Appearing on The Kinks album Face To Face, 1966 Sunny Afternoon and other tracks from the album were a major breakthrough for singer/songwriter Ray Davies. Throughout the album tongue-in-cheek humor and dry wit comprise the various tracks – moving away from earlier classic rock and roll.
