    The Monkeys

    Lead singer for the 60's band The Monkeys, Davey Jones has passed away at the age of 65 I believe. A heart attack-. This is sooooo sad! I just love 50's, 60's and 80's music but love, love The Monkeys. Just saw the band Hermans Hermets with Peter Nunes. It was an awesome show!

    I read that too. I saw them perform just last summer and you would never know they were men in their 60's. They did so wonderful and I shed a tear or two when I heard that Davy passed. My favorite song of all time is Daydream Believer. So so sad.

      I LOVED the Monkeys! They were actually from my generation Well, almost, anyway. I was in Jr High when they were at their height. Got to watch them on all the great TV specials and especially their own TV show I can still sing most of the theme song.... :P

      So sorry to hear the news of his death.

        Davy was my second crush, right behind Elvis! I still have all of my Monkees albums. He was so young, it's sad.

              Could not stand disco or John Travolta. I do like the folk era of that time-John Denver and singers like that.

              I also love, love, love old style country music! Anything before the nineties I like but really like it from the 70's and back. I know strange, strange, strange.

              OK bad confession here but I actually use to have Velvet Elvis's hanging on my bedroom wall-:: in high school. Loved that man-I was nine when he died.

                Elvis is ok with me. I remember the day too. I was on 30th street in NYC at a Blimpie. I think it was summer of 77?

                  Not strange at all! It's funny but I hate 70's music too! LOVE LOVE LOVE 50s and 60s, have fun remembering 80s and 90s, but ugh. 70s. :::: Not even kidding! Even the stuff The Monkees did in the 70s was just too trippy for me.

                  But give me some Elvis and I'm good to go! lovethis
