Born 1945. Got kicked out of Ray Davies Quartet in 1962 for having a rubbish voice :-)

erm erm yes I think you are

*checks wiki hurriedly*

In the spring of 1962, he helped to found The Ray Davies Quartet, later known as the successful British band The Kinks, as their lead singer. He performed with the group on at least one occasion, but was soon dropped due to complaints about his voice from then-drummer John Start's mother as well as musical and personality differences with the rest of the band.

Rod was 17 in 1962.

(And 36 when he recorded 'Young Turks')
