Davy Jones is Dead

[Valerie]

Davy Jones -- forever young and forever beloved by fans the last 50 years -- has died, according to Reuters. Age: 66. The cause of death was apparently a heart attack.

Jones and his band the Monkees were in a brief moment and time very nearly as popular as the Beatles -- whom they so gently satirized and idolized in that long ago NBC hit. ("The Monkees," by the way, bowed Sept. 13, 1966 -- five days after "Star Trek" launched.)

Who were the others?

Immie

You mean the other monkey's or other favorite singers?
The rest of the monkey's were Micky Dolenez, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork.
Micky Dolnez was my 2nd favorite.

Mickey Dolenz played the street fair in hoboken about two years ago. he was actually pretty good.

Cheer up, sleepy Jean.

 

[Sallow]

66 is pretty young. Gosh.

 

[rightwinger]

As a 12 year old, the Monkeys were pretty cool

And looking back, some of their songs weren't that bad. While the instruments may have been faked, Davey Jones vocals were as good as any other pop singer at the time

I was never a big fan of The Monkies and I can't think of anything else I know him for, but may he rest in peace and my condolences to his family.
