Davy Jones, Singer/Actor
It’s with a heavy heart TTC bids farewell to the lead singer on one of the best pop groups created for television. Davy Jones died today at his home of a massive heart attack. He was 66.
Born in the U.K, Jones rose to fame in the U.S. while starring as the lead singer of “The Monkees,” made to be an American version of the Beatles. The show of the same name aired on NBC from 1966-1968. Jones is probably best remembered as singing lead vocals on songs like “I Wanna Be Free” and “Daydream Believer.” Thought the show was short lived, Jones continued to tour with the other Monkees for a time.
Many may also remember Jones from a popular episode of “The Brady Bunch,” in which he makes an appearance as himself at Marcia Brady’s school dance where Marcia, president of her school’s Davy Jones Fan Club, promised she could get him to appear before her classmates.
