★Vintage Davy Jones (Rare)★

Rare vintage film footage and photos of actor-singer Davy Jones as a young boy and teen, including a 1961 clip from the British TV series "Coronation Street" at age 14, his very first performance on U.S. television in 1963 on Merv Griffin's Talent Scouts show, his 1964 appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show as the Artful Dodger in the Broadway musical "Oliver!" and his 1965 screen test for The Monkees TV series on NBC.

This is what is created when a child is loved. He’s so trusting and even when insulted, he laughs. He just can’t believe that they would be cruel.

@Mary - That is such a correct and powerful statement. Fractured families from divorce, infidelity and having both parents (if not divorced) working being absent from home are the results we see today. Shameful! Everyone seems deceived thinking it's Greener on the other side.

[@terryanngallagher3605]

He was 21 in 1966 when the Monkees premiered, not 18...do the math...I remember it well as he was 7 years older than me. I met him when I was 17...what a blessed memory!!! He was as charming and sweet as I'd ever dreamed he'd be. Met him again 25 years later and he was such an angel...I am blessed to have conversed briefly with him twice before he left this world. Long live Davy Jones.

[@annarodriguez9868]

Yes, he was born 1945, same as my husband, so he was 20 in 1965 when he was cast for The Monkees. I'm glad he didn't become a jockey because we wouldn't have been blessed to see and hear him perform.

This is a very nice tribute piece. It seems kinda weird to choke up and get teary over an actor/singer, buts that's the way you felt about Davy, like he was your friend even though you'd never met.

There are people who are in the entertainment business and they are talented , but they have their five minutes of fame and that is it.

That’s wild. I had no idea that his show business career was THAT successful before the Monkees came along. And the fact that he performed on the very same Ed Sullivan Show as the Beatles on that cold February evening in 1964 boggles the mind. Was there any interaction? Anyway, it’s no wonder his mother encouraged him to get into acting. Besides his good looks, Davy as a young man simply exuded charisma. Talk about a natural.
