Former Kinks bassist Pete Quaife has died at age 66.
The musician, who founded the group with school pals Ray and Dave Davies and drummer Mick Avory in 1962, passed away on Thursday. His cause of death is not yet known, although Quaife had been undergoing kidney dialysis since 1998 after suffering renal failure.
The bassist was featured on The Kinks' early records, including the 1964 hit "You Really Got Me," before briefly quitting in 1966 after a car accident left him unable to perform.
He rejoined the band but was permanently replaced by John Dalton in 1969.
Quaife last played with The Kinks in 1990 when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.
Rest in Peace!

Village Green is a strong contender for album of the '60s.

Village Green is a bit soft for my taste. I prefer the early '60s Kinks full of fire and thunder cracking guitar!!!

um... I consider Village Green part of the early Kinks considering their entire career spanning 30 years. I would say that everything pre-Muswell Hillibillies is early Kinks. also, Village Green is probably my favorite Kinks album, either that or Face to Face, and it isn't like i don't also love their s/t, Kinda Kinks or The Kink Kontroversy Originally Posted by Backbeat60-62
