    Yes THAT IS Davy Jones voice. He played the "Artful Dodger" in the Broadway musical "OLIVER" (based on the Charles Dickens Victorian era book "OLIVER TWIST") and sang in the show. The cast of "Oliver" was on the same show the night the BEATLES had their FIRST performance in the U.S. on the ED SULLIVAN SHOW. Davy was watching them perform from the wings of the stage and he said later that watching the Beatles made him want to be in a rock group. Which eventually happened with the Monkees. Davy was the only Monkee that was from England, the rest were all American guys. Peter Tork (the blonde playing the piano, who also played guitar), MIKE NESMITH ( playing guitar here, AND whose MOTHER invented the "White Out" which was used to correct errors when writing.), and Mickey Dolenz (on tambourine who was their drummer) Mickey was a child star in the 1950s when I was also a child, and played the little boy in the 1956 Saturday morning TV series "CIRCUS BOY" when he was 11 years old, playing "CORKY." For that series his stage name was "MICKEY BRADDOCK. SADLY, DAVY JONES passed away in 2012, PETER TORK passed in 2019 and MIKE NESMITH passed at the end on 2021. So, MICKEY DOLENZ is the ONLY member of the Monkees that is still with us. He is 77 now. There is plenty more information on the MONKEES, how they were thrown together for a TV SHOW in 1966 -- 1968 which was VERY POPULAR.

    I grew up listening to the Monkees music & watching their show. They could act silly but they actually were decent musicians & singers. They had many hits such as "Last Train To Clarksville", "Valleri", "Pleasant Valley Sunday", "Steppin' Stone" etc. Two of their big hits "I'm A Believer" & "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You" were written by Neil Diamond. Davy Jones was considered a teenage heart throb. Sadly he died in 2012 & later Peter Tork in 2019. Michael Nesmith passed away last year. Only 1 member is remaining now Micky Dolenz.

      I became good friends with Davy when he lived in my local town where he died suddenly in 2012. Before his death, Davy was riding one of horses at local horse training park that day. I mentioned to Chod and Dee that one of my friends, Joe who owned local bar and grill persuaded Davy to sing this song with him during Saturday Nights' Karaoke. Few including me witnessed it with my friend, Joe and Davy singing Daydream Believer.

    I became good friends with David "Davy" Jones years before his sad sudden death back on Feb. 29, 2012. I met him through mutual friends who knew him long time. He used to visit his friend, Basil from his horse jocking days before entertainment. His friend, Basil used to live in local area near my town in Florida. Davy usually stops by to see him and friends of mine. One of my other friends used to own bar and grill business in town. At the restaurant, Saturday Nights were Karaoke Nights, where locals can sing their favorite songs. One Saturday night, my friend, owner, Joe somehow persuaded Davy to sing this song, Daydream Believer with him. Few locals including me witnessed that special night when Monkee singing with our own that night! Too bad that there were no video apps on the phones back then...... But I have my memories.

    Most of the songs were written by other people but they sang them.
    This song is just one of their hits along with "Last Train to Clarksville", "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and a couple more that escape me.

    The Monkees were a great fun band with many good songs. They were put together to combat the UK invasion especially Beatles domination of music at the the time. They were supported by several song writers at the time but later began to write and sing their own material. Their TV show always featured a couple songs and this is from the TV show. As are many of the Monkee song videos from that time. If you wonder where the drummer is well Mickey is there in the green top, but often in these TV cuts he would be goofing around. The question about the Monkees was are they a TV show about a band or a band with a TV show or neither? But I liked them.

    Davy Jones lived about 1.5 miles from where I was born in Gorton, Manchester UK. He went to my Dad's primary school. The Monkees were so popular here in Britain too. Davy would sometimes be seen taking a walk when he was visiting family in his favourite park, Debdale. People would wave but leave him alone. He was a nice bloke/guy.

    Those pants are called bell bottoms which were based off the U.S. Navy uniform which featured bell bottom pants, which for the Navy had flap in the front instead of a zipper, which was fastened using 13 buttons. I first wore bell bottoms while serving in the Navy from 1967 to 1971. The Monkees had many many hits.

    The Monkees sound is that of Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart. Boyce and Hart wrote and recorded "Last Train to Clarksville" and "The Theme to the Monkees" television show. The members of the Monkees merely sang over the Boyce and Hart recordings. They produced music for the show and appeared as themselves on I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, and the Flying Nun. They were great song writers, quite popular at the time, having wrote the hit "Come a Little Bit Closer" for Jay and the Americans and "I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone" for Paul Revere and the Raiders (also recorded by the Monkees). They had several of their own hits including, "I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight" and "Alice Long". In the seventies they formed a band with Davy and Mickey called "Dolenz, Jones, Boyce, and Hart". They were the sound of the Monkees. If you're looking for old songs to react to, try "I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight". It was a huge hit for them in 1968.

    A made for TV group whose songs have actually aged pretty well. That is Davey Jones voice. His background was in musical theater, I believe he was most famous for playing the Artful Dodger in the musical Oliver Twist before The Monkees. They were totally a production of the LA songwriting and studio band system. Funny that you mention Austin Powers, which is a total riff/parody of this period.

    They performed a lot of songs written by some great writers. The two true musicians in the band were Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork but they didn't get along AT ALL.
    Davey and Mickey did learn how to play and took the Monkees on the road.
    Nesmith (Papa Nez) did not tour with the Monkees as he had his own band, touring and commitments.
    He did join Mickey Dolenz and the supporting band this year and tragically passed away before the end of the tour.
    Michael Nesmith was crazy talented with a sense of humor that earned him a GRAMMY for the first Video honored with one.
    He had a series titled Animal Parts that he took the Best of... and created Elephant Parts.
    And voila...GRAMMY!

For those who may be unaware, the musicians in The Wrecking Crew were THE session players in Los Angeles who performed on most all of the top American Pop-Rock songs in the 60s; from The Beach Boys to Sinatra to Sonny and Cher, and yes, the Monkeys.

    Only one of them is left, two passed fairly recently...they had a TV show back in the 60s and was put together as a group for that show. Davy (the British guy singing) was already a teen heartthrob with the girls back then so he was already popular, the others we hadn't heard of. Anyway, the show is on YT if you want to check out some episodes, it was corny as you can see but they really could sing and play. Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart wrote a few songs for them and also had some hits of their own (I wonder what she's doing tonite) is their biggest hit. They have gotten together in reunion tours as well...they were very popular before the Partridge Family was on TV and several of those groups back then.

    Funny you say they had been playing together for years. They were thrown together as a pretend band for a sitcom. Networks were trying to tap into a Beatles-like theme for the comedy show. Some of the Monkees didn't even know how to play their instruments when the show first started. MTV did a Monkees marathon of their TV shows in the 80s or 90s and it kind of relaunched interest in the band. The Monkees eventually became a real band and had some good success with multiple hit songs. I think only the drummer (Micky Dolenz) is still alive.

    thing is that the music on their recordings was done by L.A. studio musicians The Wrecking Crew. Also, this is not the original hit version.

      A lot of it was, esp. at the beginning, but as they got bigger they starting taking more control.

    Neil Diamond wrote this song for them. The Monkeys was a great TV show when I was young.

      Wrong. John Stewart wrote this song. You're confusing this with I'm a Believer.

    Love your reactions and love The Monkees, but this is a shout out to the spirit of a human being. When The Monkees stopped touring (or while they would tour some years) Davey Jones (the singer here) toured all the time. My uncle who was in many bands in many serious bands in his youth, repeatedly played with a particular guitarist (I forget his name) who my uncle talked about how good he was.
    Anyway, he actually tried out for Davey Jones band and was hired. I thought that's amazing, playing with a Monkee (and all those great songs), but when he stopped by a couple times to see my uncle because he was back home for a bit, I just wanted to ask what playing in the band was like, what creating the music fr all those great songs was like....but all he would talk about what a good, generous kind spirit Davey Jones was.
    And when Davey passed, my uncle called him as he wasn't back home, and he was just devastated. He could barely get out of bed to go to the bathroom or eat. He said the world's light is burning less bright without Davey Jones spirit here anymore. He and my uncle talked every day for a week until he finally got up in the morning, stayed up for the day, and did things he needed to get done.
    To me, that was incredible. It wasn't I lost my full time gig. It was I lost the single best person I will ever know, and Im so sad to go on without speaking to him everyday.
    Sorry for such a long -post, but I needed to share it.

      Hi Chris! I understand a little bit how your Uncle felt! I’ve just found out that one of the singers from one of my favourite bands has passed away! I’m devastated! She had THE most beautiful voice! It’s an Australian band so you may not have heard of them! Peace and Blessings to you and your family from Australia.

    The lead singing is Davy Jones. I'm sure everyone on the planet has heard of the TV show, THE BRADY BUNCH, even if you've never watched it. In an episode, Marsha writes to Davy Jones and wants him to come to her prom. The entire show is her trying to get him there. She finally sees him singing in a recording studio. Anyway, you should react to him singing that song, sooo sweet.. It is on RUclips. Just punch in Davy Jones on Brady Bunch.
    NOTE: Don't get it confused with Davy singing on the Brady Bunch Movie when he's older....I'm talking about when he was young and guest starred on the Brady Bunch tv show.

    How many young guys tried to put a band together like these guys? I know I did. I was Davy Jones. Lol. Guns and Rose's singer said he got his dance from Davy. David Bowie changed his last name from jones to Bowie because of Davys popularity. I loved these guys.

    The Monkees were brought together as actors just 1 year before the show premiered in 1966. They'd been together about 1 year.

    Grew up watching the tv show. It was like watching a half hour Mel Brooks movie every day. (Spaceballs, Young Frankenstein) Sometimes they would (like Robin Hood, Men in tights) pull out the script to check and would go into the "Script Writers Room". Usually 6 Chinese banging on typewriters like crazy. Hilarious but definitely not PC.
