Kinks – Lola, Top Of The Pops, 1970
I’m not much of a fan of The Kinks sixties hits like You Really Got Me and even Waterloo Sunset. But I love their 1970 classic, Lola. The lyrics are great, but the sound of Ray Davies’ resonator guitar is beautiful.
The song is about a young man’s sexual encounter with a transvestite in a Soho bar. The single was taken from the album Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One, which was released in June 1970. Lola reached no.2 in the UK charts and no.9 in the US.
This performance is taken from Top Of The Pops and sees brothers Ray and Dave Davies in happier times.
