I met Davy three times in person. The first time I got a kiss on the cheek from him. He was a nice man. Rest in peace, Davy.

Davey Jones and David Cassidy were my first crushes when I was a kid. So glad I was born GenX. 😊

[@chrisfleming8908]

I loved the watching the Monkees in the 60ts when I was a young boy they had some great hits RIP Davy Peter and Mike 😢🎉❤i miss those times growing up not like today 🙏

[@jamesdelaney3797]

I met him while working at a ranch in florida where he kept his horse. What a cool down to earth guy

[@HeronCoyote1234]

I loved the Monkees as a teen. Of course I had a crush on Davey Jones. But, I didn’t know 90% of what you shared about him. So thank you.

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

So glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching!

[@janewasson4845]

I got a hug and cheek kiss from Davy when in was in Cincinnati, performing at a festval! He was so very niceI RP, Davy. 🌷

[@malcolmdivorty6852]

He was one of the best from the UK. Monkey mania was in full swing when I came to Canada in 1967. I could not get enough of the Monkeys. They sang some great songs

[@jonbutcher9805]

Fyi. " Monkees. Not Monkeys." 😊

[@kimhaug1193]

I loved Dave’s Jones !!

[@kimhaug1193]

I loved Davey Jones ! (Good grief ) !!

[@CMDavid-ee2ic]

Used to shoot pool with Davy in a neighborhood bar on Franklin by Beechwood in Hollywood ‘78-79 really an awesome down to earth guy

[@Dorthy-wx9fq]

I watched the show Monkees and was sad when the show ended. RIP Davey, Mike and Brian you will be missed.

[@juliemcarthur3004]

You forgot peter

[@jansalcher6820]

This was great but I do have to dispute one thing. The show did not make Davy the front man in fact there wasn't one. It was never Davy Jones and The Monkees it's just The Monkees. Every one had their solos.

[@TraciEaston-hs5xe]

I used to watch the reruns weekday mornings back in the summer in the 80's.

[@beverlyledbetter4906]

Nesmith was so cool. I was a big fan of this group!✌️

[@aminahmed2220]

Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

Thank you my friend you also 🥰💕

[@debbieanne7962]

As a little girl I loved watching The Monkees every night after school. In my child’s mind I thought Davy Jones was cute (didn’t realise he was that short) I don’t know about a teen idol, maybe a pre teen idol? He kept busy after the TV show ended, I think there’s only one band member still alive. Thanks for putting this together

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

Thank you for watching

[@ceciliaseiber5507]

I was in love with him as a child also. I saw he was short but I was shorter 😂😂😂😂

[@SueBeaWho]

Lol

[@melissacooper8724]

You're right. The last surviving member of The Monkees is Micky Dolenz.

[@arthurnas3941]

I loved the monkees so much back in the 60s at primary school that some used the put the shirt on with the double buttens that they had in the show l was only 12 at that time

[@Frances-ed6cy]

Wow, that is so sweet. I love it. You’ll never be forgotten. David Jones was so sweet and kind. I just love his music. I am a big fan of him.❤️❤️👍❤️🙏👍😃💕✌️🫶

[@gumwrapper7042]

Every Saturday morning, I was in front of the tv watching my favorite show, the Monkees. Davy Jones was m first crush. I was so devastated (the right word to describe how I felt just doesn't exist) when the Monkees was cancelled and replaced with HR Puf-N-Stuff. The world seemed like such an unfair place. My only issue with DJ is that he aged very badly, looking older than he was way before his time.

[@SuzetteWallace-gj5pm]

rip😢 Mr. Jones

[@alancrisp1582]

As a child loved The Monkees television 📺 series. Enjoyed their records , several are true classic songs today . But hated their 1968 movie Head, absolutely awful !. RIP Davy Jones, and your former band mates......😇

[@markzappasodi]

The Monkees album from 1996 was titled Justus not Yustus.

[@iandann8788]

good interesting vid ,thanks

[@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv]

Thank you 🤗

[@margiejohnson5722]

I saw Davy at wdw Epcot center. The other monkees were in the audience. Davy told Mike’s mom invented post-it notes. Davy said, “I’ve been walking around the parks and people have been saying these 3 words to me…(pause for effect) Marcia, Marcia Marcia!” Then he sang the Brady bunch theme song. It was so much fun.

[@alpha-omega2362]

she invented liquid whiteout , not post it notes, I believe, maybe both?

[@ZXX984]

I saw The Monkees in Latham NY in ‘87 with Al Yankovic.

[@mukhumor]

Wow... thought he had heartburn when he was having a heart attack. Rock on Davy.

[@user-DJDreamworld]

The paper next to the flowers was written by me and left by a friend since I couldn't be there

[@user-DJDreamworld]

I also watched the monkey's show andi enjoy the jokes and adventures

[@emeraldkimble7602]

David Bowie had same birth name changed it as not to be confused with David jones

[@bladerunner630]

Were all in the same boat see ? I wanna be free like the blue bird flying bye me. turn up your hearing aids we set the public str8.

[@TraciEaston-hs5xe]

I don't appreciate Mickey Dolenz claiming HE was the lead singer of The Monkees, he is the last living one.

[@melissacooper8724]

He sang lead in most of the songs, but you're right. Everyone took turns singing lead.

[@daleglasbrenner3321]

Sure was a busy Monkey...!!!

[@MsAhmebah2000]

I read that the last wife wasnt well liked and sold Davy's horses; anyone know more about her?

[@laurellane1721]

I thought I read that his daughters have a charity that supports them.

[@Patti-sg1fv]

I didn't know he was dead. RIP.

[@markzappasodi]

How could you have NOT KNOWN that?????

[@kathyleighton9091]

​@@markzappasodi...it wasn't widely splashed across newspapers or even TV unlike Elvis

[@patrickryan1515]

Sure came up with a lot of ways to sell a former self. Sounds rather grueling to me. Surely there were better ways to spend a lifetime, especially if you had real talent.

[@freddyfurrah3789]

Ah, to be a beautiful teenager again.
