Nice article @AmerSongwriter but @JimmyPage never claimed to play on YRGM . I don’t know how the rumor got started, but he didn’t play on it anyway. I played on it. Please correct

Behind the Song "All Day and All of the Night" by The Kinks and Why Their Record Label Initially...

"You Really Got Me" was an angry departure that moved the needle for The Kinks in a big way. It certainly wasn't the first time a guitar was distorted, but it was less common for bands to purposely...
