Also in the music forum - although I think it's more appropriate here as he was actually an actor rather than a singer - and was selected for The Monkees more for his English accent rather than his singing or musical talents.

RIP Davy keep on monkeying around...

Great songs for actors though.

RIP Davy.

Loved the Monkees on Saturday mornings, along with the Banana Splits, The HairBear Bunch, Arabian Nights etc.

RIP Davy Jones. I also grew up with the Monkees on a Saturday morning on the TV. I even had a Corgi model of the Monkees car. I saw him a few years ago at Lingfield Park Racecourse, he had a horse running there. I think he was an apprentice jockey before he became a singer. His daughter had bought the horse for him as a birthday present.

RIP - gutted, thought they were trying to reform recently.


Always cheers me up listening to their tracks.

Simple days; I know some things were tough but less complicated perhaps?

Sad news.

Used to live nearby him in East Manchester in the early sixties....

Absolutely, it was pre VCRs for a start.

RIP Davy. Part of my saturday morning ritual as a kid.

A lot less complicated!

Saturday morning, eagerly watching the Monkees on the TV whilst munching on Kelloggs Frosties. Get out of your 'jamas, into your flared jeans, t-shirt, and Converse All-Stars, then jump on your bike and spend the rest of Saturday miles away from home with your friends on some Boys Own style adventure. Get home late, scruffy, starving and thirsty, but in enough time to watch Starsky and Hutch after the 9 o'clock news!

No mobiles, no Playstations, no I-Crap, no Internet.

Just great memories

Happy memories, sad news

Do you remember the 2 big Cadilacs parked up on Varna street, looked really out of place in Gorton/Openshaw in the late sixties.
