- Ngaphandle kwesihloko, le ayisiyongoma epholileyo, engakhathaliyo yasehlotyeni. Lo mfo ukwingoma yincutshe enemali ethe yahluthwa yindlu yerhafu, yade yathatha isikhitshane sayo! Ekuphela kwento anayo ukuba azonwabele yinjikalanga enelanga.
Ingoma yabhalwa ngu-Kinks frontman uRay Davies, owayehamba ngexesha elinzima kakhulu. I-Kinks yayiphakathi kokunyuka ngokukhawuleza kwi-stardom, kodwa ukuxhatshazwa kweqela, izimangalo, umsebenzi ongekho ngqiqweni kunye nolawulo lwe-craven lwabenza babuhlungu. UDavies naye wayejongene nokuba ngutata, kwaye walishiya iqela okwethutyana.
Ngelixa wayechacha, uDavies wabhala 'Sunny Afternoon,' ebeka umculo ndawonye kuqala kwaye emva koko wenza i-alter ego ukuvakalisa iimvakalelo zakhe. 'Inye kuphela indlela endandinokuyitolika ngayo indlela endandiziva ngayo yayisisihandiba esinothuli, esiwileyo esasiphuma kwimali endala ngokuchasene nobutyebi endandizenzele mna,' watsho.

Xa ingoma yabetha i-#1 e-UK (ibetha i-'Paperback Writer' yi-Beatles), yamkhupha u-Davies kwi-funk yakhe okwethutyana. - Kwi Amatye agiqekayo udliwano-ndlebe ngoNovemba 10, 1969, uRay Davies wathetha ngokurekhoda le ngoma. ''Ilanga lasemini' lenziwe ngokukhawuleza, kusasa,' watsho. 'Yayiyenye yeeseshoni zethu zomoya. Ndisathanda ukugcina iiteyiphu zemizuzu embalwa phambi kokuba kuthathwe okokugqibela, izinto ezenzeka phambi kweseshoni. Mhlawumbi ziinkolelo, kodwa ndiyakholelwa ukuba bendikhe ndazenza izinto ngendlela eyahlukileyo – ukuba bendikhe ndajikeleza istudiyo okanye ndaphuma – ngekungazange kube njalo. Umdlali we-bass uye waphuma waqala ukudlala izinto ezincinci ezihlekisayo kwi-bass, ngakumbi njengegitare elikhokelayo: kwaye u-Nicky Hopkins, owayedlala ipiyano kuloo seshini, wayedlala 'uLiza' - sasihlala siyidlala loo ngoma-izinto ezincinci. ngolo hlobo kwasinceda ukuba singene kwimvakalelo yengoma.
Ngeloxesha ndandibhala 'Sunny Afternoon' ndandingamamelanga kwanto. Bendidlala qha Ezona Hits zibalaseleyo zikaFrank Sinatra kunye noDylan IFama kaMaggie - Ndibuthandile ubukho bayo bonke, bendidlala Ukuyibuyisela Konke Ekhaya LP kunye noFrank Sinatra kunye noGlenn Miller kunye noBach - yayilixesha elingaqhelekanga. Ndacinga ukuba bonke bayancedana, bangena kwinxalenye yechromatic esemva kwengoma. Ndenza umzobo welizwi lam kwi 'Sunny Afternoon.' Yayiligqabi elinolwandlalo olungqindilili kakhulu - iblob enkulu ngasemva - igqabi elinqumlayo nje kulo.' - Ikhutshwe njengenye ene 'Andifani Nabanye Bonke' kwicala lika-B, 'Ilanga Emva kwemini' yayiyeyesithathu (kunye neyokugqibela) i-UK #1 hit for The Kinks, ilandela ' Undifumene Nyani ' nethi ' Ndidiniwe Kukulinda .' Abantu baseMelika abazange baye kwi-Kinks njengoko benzayo kwi-Beatles kunye ne-Rolling Stones, kwaye ukususela ngo-1965-1969 ingxabano yomanyano yabavimbela ukuba bakhenkethe kweli lizwe. Nangona kunjalo, iingoma zabo zokuqala zenze kakuhle apho, kunye 'neLanga emva kwemini' yafikelela kwi- # 14 nangona babengakwazi ukubeka unyawo e-US.
- UShel Talmy, oweza eNgilani evela eCalifornia, wayengumvelisi weKinks ngeli xesha. Ukwasebenza noThe Who, eyamnika ithuba lokufikelela kubabhali beengoma ababini abadumileyo ngelo xesha: uPete Townshend noRay Davies.
NgokukaTalmy, uDavies wayengumbhali wengoma ochubekileyo owabonelela ngezinto ezininzi xa kwafika ixesha lokwenza ii-albhamu zabo. ''Ntambama enelanga,' Ndicinga ukuba ndeva imivalo emine, kwaye ndathi, 'Leyo mhlawumbi yi-#1 yethu elandelayo,'' uTalmy uxelele i-Songfacts. 'Bekucace gca.' - URay Davies ukhumbule ebhala isingeniso sengoma kwincwadi Isiqithi Sengxolo nguDaniel Rachel: 'Ndithenge ipiyano emhlophe eme nkqo,' watsho. 'Ndandingabhali ixesha. bendigula. Ndandihlala kwindlu eyayihonjiswe kakhulu ngeminyaka yoo-1960. Yayineendonga eziorenji kunye nefenitshala eluhlaza. Intombi yam enonyaka ubudala yayirhubuluza phantsi kwaye ndabhala i-riff yokuvula. Ndiyikhumbula ngokucacileyo. Bendinxibe ijezi ene-polo-neck.'
- Abaculi abaxhasayo kule ngoma yayinguDave Davies, umdlali we-bass uPete Quaife, kunye nomfazi kaRay Davies ngelo xesha, uRasa.
- URay Davies wayephethwe yingqele embi mhla wayeshicilela le ngoma. Wakhumbula ke Q imagazini ngo-2016:
'Ndenze ngokuthatha enye kwaye xa ndivile emva ndathi, 'Hayi, mandenze ngokufanelekileyo,' kodwa iseshoni yayiphelelwe lixesha. Ngoko yayililizwi. Ndaphinda ndayiva ngenye imini. Ndandineminyaka eyi-22 kodwa ndivakala njengomntu omalunga nama-40 ogqitywe emshinini. Ngokwenene ndixhoma amanye amanqaku. Ingoma yovuyo, nangona kunjalo, nokuba icinezelwe uvuyo. Ndonwabe ngokwenene ukubhala loo nto.' - Hayi, ndisindise, ndisindise, ndisindise kolu lucudi
Ndifike kukho umama otyebileyo ozama ukundophula
