Ray Davies' four upcoming U.S. tour dates have been canceled due to unspecified medical issues.

The former Kinks singer's website says that Davies did not cancel the dates himself but "was ordered by his doctors not to fly or embark on the accompanying ground travel for the forthcoming four U.S. dates until his medical condition has stabilized to their satisfaction."

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
