"Death of a Clown" is a song by Dave Davies, member of British rock group the Kinks, released as his debut solo single in 1967. The song was co-written with his brother Ray Davies, who contributed the 5-bar "La la la" hook; Ray's first wife, Rasa, sings this phrase as well as descant in the second verse, while Ray himself sings harmony in the refrain. Nicky Hopkins played the distinctive introduction, using fingerpicks on the strings of a piano. The single was credited to Dave Davies but the song also appeared on the Kinks' album Something Else by the Kinks, released later in 1967.

The single was credited to Dave Davies but the song also appeared on the Kinks' album Something Else by the Kinks, released later in 1967. (en) Death of a Clown (deutsch: Tod eines Clowns) ist eine Rock-Ballade, die Dave Davies, Leadgitarrist der englischen Rockband The Kinks, gemeinsam mit seinem älteren Bruder Ray Davies 1967 geschrieben hat. Es war die erste Single, die Dave Davies als Solokünstler veröffentlichte, sie erschien am 7. Juli 1967 bei Pye Records. (de) Death of a Clown è un brano musicale composto da Dave Davies, membro del gruppo rock britannico The Kinks. La canzone venne pubblicata come suo primo singolo da solista nel 1967, anche se vedeva la partecipazione di tutti gli altri membri del gruppo. (it) Death of a Clown est une chanson composée par Dave Davies, le guitariste des Kinks, avec l'aide de son frère Ray. Sortie en single en 1967 sous le seul nom de Dave Davies, elle rencontre un franc succès au Royaume-Uni, se classant 3e. Quelques singles paraissent encore par la suite sous le nom de Dave Davies, mais ils ne rencontrent pas le même succès, et il faut attendre 1980 pour que le guitariste sorte son premier album solo. Death of a Clown est aussi parue sur l'album des Kinks Something Else by the Kinks, également sorti en 1967. (fr) Death of a Clown är en låt komponerad mestadels av Dave Davies, men även hans bror Ray Davies från gruppen The Kinks. Låten utgavs som solosingel av Dave Davies 1967, men medtogs också på The Kinks studioalbum Something Else by the Kinks samma år. Även singelns b-sida "Love Me Till the Sun Shines" var komponerad och sjungen av Dave Davies. Låten kom att bli en hit i flera länder i Europa, och framgången gjorde att Dave Davies funderade på att lämna The Kinks för en solokarriär. Han lade dock planerna på hyllan efter att uppföljaren "Susannah's Still Alive" bara blev en mindre hit, och efterföljande singlar inte uppmärksammades alls. (sv)
