Percy (1971) is the soundtrack to the British comedy film of the same name, performed by The Kinks with orchestral arrangements by Stanley Myers. Released as their ninth studio album, it features haunting ballads, blues, and country-infused tracks. While the film saw limited US exposure, the soundtrack made a lasting impact, with songs like “God’s Children” and “Animals in the Zoo” featured in anthologies. Highlights include the slow blues “Completely” with a standout Dave Davies performance and the rock-solid “Dreams.”
