The Kinks were one of the most influential English rock bands of the 1960s, formed in 1964 in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray Davies and Dave Davies. The band was known for their authentic and sincere songs, which were drenched in English culture and influenced by various genres such as R&B, rock and roll, British music hall, folk, and country. Ray Davies wrote “Sunny Afternoon“ while he was dealing with fatherhood and a bad cold. He recorded the song in one take, and even though he wanted to re-do it, he was out of time. Backing vocalists on the track were Dave Davies, bass player Pete Quaife, and Ray Davies’ wife at the time, Rasa. The success of the song revitalized Ray Davies and inspired him to focus on the sort of satirical, very English slices of life that would become synonymous with the band’s golden years.
