The Kinks foi uma banda de rock britânica formada em Muswell Hill, ao norte de Londres, em 1963, por Ray Davies, Dave Davies e Pete Quaife.
A primeira e mais famosa formação era composta por Ray Davies (guitarra guia, vocalista principal, piano e compositor principal), Dave Davies (composições, guitarrista principal e vocais), Pete Quaife (baixo, backing-vocals) e Mick Avory (bateria).
Os Kinks foram uma das bandas mais influentes da chamada Invasão Britânica, ao lado dos Beatles, Rolling Stones e The Who.

Frailest, purest girl the world has seen According to her ma, according to her pa And everybody said That she knew no sin and did no wrong Till she walked the streets of the big black smoke Of the big black smoke
