We have a bit of a sad celebration for Set 110 this week. On Tuesday, Davy Jones died of a heart attack on Wednesday. He was 66.
So today we pay tribute to Davy and his Monkees pals Mike Nesmith, Mickey Dolenz, and Peter Tork. They made some of the earliest music videos. Whether they were just being silly on a beach, frolicking about on tricycles, chasing or being chased by bad guys, or just playing and singing pop music...they were always fun.
These are five of my favorites.
Theme from The Monkees, written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, originally released in 1966
Pleasant Valley Sunday, written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, originally released in 1967
I'm a Believer, written by Neil Diamond, originally released in 1966
A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You, written by Neil Diamond, originally released in 1967
Daydream Believer, written by John Stewart, originally released in 1967
