Cinnamon Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 How sad that the frontman of The Monkees has died suddenly at such a young age. He was great....not my favourite Monkee,but an integral part of the band & a huge part of my childhood Very,very sad news indeed LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I've just heard too, he was my favourite Monkee, and will always look like he is a 12 year old playing with the big boys to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 he was the good looking one - nice way to go though - obviously not nice for those left behind. RIP Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 I always like Micky Dolenz best (a bit of a snapshot of my life there,preferring the rougher funnier man to the handsome sweet one ) The Monkees were so huge - been trying to explain the phenomenom of them & their weekend TV show to my daughter. EVERYONE watched it,didn't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Just seen this on the internet too, what a shock Like you say, too young, and he was my favourite one RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Palmer Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 So sad Have loved The Monkees since I was a mere babe. Apparently when the series was first shown, my uncle used to sit waiting to record the song at the end of each episode on one of those big reel to reel tape recorders and he used to go bananas because I'd 'sing' through the song! I was only about 6 months old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken shack Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Davy Jones was my first love. I used to sit in front of the black and white TV and noon over him. I even hatched a plan to parcel my self up in a box and get posted to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Such a shame. I had a big crush on him when I was a kid, he was such a handsome lad. Well, he wasn't really handsome, he was more "pretty", but that's what tends to appeal to young girls, isn't it? He seemed such a lovely chap as well. Last year there was a radio 4 programme about the time John Waite (who was about 20 at the time) hitch-hiking in the US, was given a lift by Davy Jones, and when Davy realised he was British, he invited him to stay at his home in Hollywood for a while. The programme was a reunion 40 years later. I heard on the news this morning that overall the Monkees outsold the Beatles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved watching The Monkees, it was must see tv for me as a girl. I have to say he was always my favourite. I have Daydream Believer on a 45 somewhere. Sad news indeed.
