I met those guys when one of the local high schools where I had friends snagged them for a concert in 1970. Got a backstage pass and sat around the dressing room bullshitting with them. Ray Davies about beat the snot out of the concert coordinator for locking him outside with the fans.

RIP Jim.

he did not join the Kinks until 78 so he was not on the bulk of their hits, that would be Pete Quaife the original in the 60's and John Dalton who replaced him until 76.....Rodford was also the Bassist for Argent during their heyday 1970-73....
