(hennemusic) The Kinks have called out the BBC over a new Radio 2 documentary that claims Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page played on their signature song and 1964 hit, "You Really Got Me."

"BBC TELLS LIES ABOUT DAVE DAVIES AND THE KINKS IN THEIR NEW DOCUMENTARY," Dave Davies posted on the band's Facebook page.

"PLEASE TWEET YOUR COMMENTS AT BBC DOCUMENTARY PRODUCER @KELLIEREDMOND @dannybaker5live AND @BBCRadio2 . Tell them to get their facts straight...I, Dave Davies, invented the distorted guitar sound and played the solo on You Really Got Me and Ray Davies played rhythm guitar. We never used ANY other guitarists on any Kinks hits."

A session musician at the time, Page has always maintained that he did not play on the song, which hit No. 1 in the UK and No. 7 in the US. more on this story
