Davy Jones of the Monkees had died from a heart attack. I remember my sister being crazy about The Monkees show when I was a kid, and several of their pop songs were excellent pop songs, like Davy’s work on “Daydream Believer,” which was written by John Stewart of the Kingston Trio. The clip below features Davy Jones singing his 1971 single “Girl” on The Brady Bunch, which he reprised for The Brady Bunch Movie (1995).
Somewhere, Marcia Brady is heartbroken. RIP Davy.
I’ve been thinking a great deal about Davy Jones and The Monkees, and though I am a fan of their music, for me their greatest contribution is that they turned me onto The Beatles.
That’s a pretty good contribution! Thanks for the comment.
So begins the “stars” of our youth disappearing. We, the baby boomers, are growing older.
Although that started happening with many like Jimi and Janice awhile ago, but you’re right that due to the natural cycle of life, we’ll be seeing more baby boomers leave us. So we should enjoy what we have left! Thanks for the comment.
