Love his lead vocal on Daydream Believer...and that wonderful dance from the video(TV show clip) that Axl Rose ended up copping.
Rest in Peace Davy.
Speaking of his dance, he still moved around pretty good. He does a nice little 60's groove at about 2:05. Clip is from last year. great performance by all..

Thanks for posting this clip...I am oddly moved by this death. Maybe because I was a lad when The Monkees appeared and spend many hours watching their show and dissecting their first couple of records.

Sad news.. I loved the Monkees as a kid. Bought the Monkee cards with banana flavored gum. I thought they had some decent songs..too young.

A year or so ago hbwriter had a post about being at a "60's" theme party where Davy was one of the guests, and he sang for everyone...
Chris?

... Davy Jones was a music professional before the Monkees as well.
i saw him in the stage version of Oliver in 1963 or so - he played the Artful Dodger -
and the fact that i'd been under the same roof with him made me suddenly cool among my classmates when the Monkees came into existence.
love and light to him and the people close to him

last year a good friend of mine turned 50 - he had a lovely party, small gathering of interesting people -including Davy - this was us in the office, middle of the night, with my friend playing guitar and Davy singing (this, after a living room concert)
Davy was so gracious this night regaling us with great stories- Henry Diltz, the photographer was there too and was very interesting- told me all about those amsterdam shots of the stones he got when still sat in around '70
