Davy Jones

From the BBC:
"Davy Jones of The Monkees dies aged 66"

Davy Jones, Manchester-born lead singer with 60s band The Monkees, has died aged 66, his publicist has confirmed. He died in his sleep at his home in Florida. His publicist, Deborah Robicheau, said he had a massive heart attack. The band, who included musicians Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork, were famous for hits including Daydream Believer and I'm a Believer. The Monkees were an American pop band, assembled in 1966. Jones was married three times and had four daughters. The Monkees found fame through a successful television series, popular in both the US and the UK, and had four number one albums in a 13-month period. They were famous for their clean-cut image and were marketed as the American answer to The Beatles, notching up nine top 40 hits.

^ I watched "The Monkees" a couple of times on Nick-at-Nite and liked their music - even though they were way before my time. My favorite song is "Cheer-up Sleepy Jean." ^
