The Monkees were the first made for TV band thanks in part to Davy Jones. I still remember watching the antics of Peter, Mike, Micky and of course Davy faithfully every week.

The Monkees lasted only two seasons but the success of the show led to national tours, 11 studio albums, four number one albums in one year, 65 million records sold worldwide, two emmys and sold out reunion tours in the 80's, 90's and 00's.  

To honor his memory here's a video look back as some of Davy Jones and The Monkees finest moments.
