Flaming Youth (band) In 1969, American singer John Walker, of the Waker Brothers fame, toured in England, and was accompanied by four young British musicians: on keyboards Brian Chatton, on guitar and bass guitar Gordon "Flash" Smith, on bass and guitar Ronnie Caryl and on drums, Phil Collins. After the tour, they decided to go on together, found a name for their band, Hickory, and recorded a single in 1969, "Green Light/The Key". And then they met two authors-songwriters, Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley, who were looking for a band to record an album they were working on, so they changed their name and became Flaming Youth. The group released the album "Ark 2" in 1969. In November of that same year, the British music magazine "NME" reported that the concept album was the subject of an hour-long television special, which the group had filmed in the Netherlands. The LP was released on Fontana Records in the UK to some critical but no commercial success. There was also a follow-up single recorded, "Man, Woman, and Child". After the excitement dropped, the band couldn't find any gig to play; they added a new member to the band, organist Rod Mayall, John Mayall's brother, but it didn't work too much, so they broke up.

The Davies brothers remained members throughout the group's 32-year run. Avory left in 1984, the result of a dispute with Dave Davies, and was replaced on drums by Bob Henrit. John Dalton played bass for part of 1966 after Quaife was injured in a car accident, and joined as a full-time member when Quaife left to set up his own band in 1969. Dalton remained until the late 1970s, when he was replaced by Jim Rodford. Though not a member of the band, keyboardist Nicky Hopkins accompanied The Kinks during studio sessions from 1965 to 1968. Several keyboardists were later members of the band, most notably John Gosling (1970–1978) and Ian Gibbons (1979–1989, 1993–1996).
