- The Truth About Davy Jones (1945 - 2012) Davy Jones Life Story
In September 1965, a small ad appeared in L.A.’s Daily Variety: “MADNESS!! Auditions. Singers for acting roles in new TV series. Running parts for 4 insane boys.” Longhaired kids showed up by the hundreds at a studio lot just off Sunset Boulevard, ready and willing to sell out - among the aspiring TV stars were Stephen Stills, Harry Nilsson and Van Dyke Parks, all pre-fame. But one tiny, chipmunk-cheeked performer walked right past the other guys, straight into the producers’ office. “I was like, ‘Wait a minute! Who was that?'” says Peter Tork, who would become the Monkees‘ bassist. “I was extremely jealous.”
As Tork and the rest of the world would soon discover, that was 19-year-old Davy Jones, a seasoned professional who’d already been working on TV and Broadway and London stages for half a decade. In a screen test with producers Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider, he comes across as sheltered and naive - a precocious kid who couldn’t imagine the hall of mirrors he was about to enter: He was auditioning to play a prefab Paul McCartney in the Monkees, a fake band that would soon fill real stadiums and outsell the Beatles themselves.
“I’m really a clean-cut kid,” Jones chirps in his Manchester accent, standing in the producers’ office wearing a newsboy hat and turtleneck. Jones struggles to answer questions from Schneider and Rafelson (they would go on to produce Easy Rider and the Rafelsondirected Five Easy Pieces) - but does better when the producers ask him to dance: He does so on command, breaking into a cheerful little jig.
At that moment, Jones won what would be the last major role of his life. In just a year, he’d become one of the biggest pop stars of his time - and lose his chance at what had been a promising acting career. The Monkees’ commercial heyday lasted a mere two years, faltering soon after they tried to take control of their own music and TV show. When the bubblegum burst, they were left nearly broke. But Davy Jones would be a Monkee for as long as he lived.

David Jones I'll always remember in his silver sports car,license number Spec 16
I met him while enjoying “Cats” in London, 1985. He and his wife were sitting behind me. At intermission, I introduced myself. He signed my playbill and was so gracious. A true star!
Great story! RIP Davy Jones
I'll always remember Davy Jones as the charming heartthrob who could sing and act his way into anyone's affections. He truly was a star.
RIP Davy Jones
As the lead singer of The Monkees, Davy Jones had a voice that could melt hearts. His contributions to the band's sound were truly unforgettable.
RIP Davy Jones
I was raised with the Monkees! Watched the show when I was 10 and my whole family liked the Monkees! My sister and I used to do the Davy dance all the time! My sister was a big Davy fan while I was a Peter girl! Now I'm 68 and still love the Monkees! Saw them in concert during 86 and love that Micky is carrying on the legacy!
RIP Davy Jones
12 years later and I still can't believe he's gone loved that little guy😢
RIP Davy Jones
I'm so grateful for the insights into Davy Jones' life story. His legacy as an actor and singer continues to be a source of inspiration.
RIP Davy Jones
My favorite songs are I want to be free and all the songs that Davy Thomas Jones would sing like cuddly toy and shades of grey but may Davy Thomas Jones Peter Tork Mike Nesmith RIP ❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌹😽😽😽
RIP Davy Jones
I just liked Davy Jones, I was 15 years old when I seen Davy Jones on the way to Cherry Blossom center ,I was walking out of Farmers Market when I screamed All I could say Davy Davy ,Davy,He was at a red traffic light he was so handsome I literally fell backwards wearing my blouse and pleased skirt ,Embarrest I got up and headed for 5141 Newton Falls Rd in Ravenna Ohio 44226 at Workman's Trailer Park that's where I was headed home🌹🎶💙
RIP Davy Jones
The very first song I heard David do Theme For ANeww Love and It's Nice To Be With You on a small grey transistor radio❤😢🧸
RIP Davy Jones
Hello, I read my comments I sent, I'm sorry about some of mistakes in spelling, or the way I have written a sentence. I was a bit emotional with my feelings when I wrote it. You could say, my ❤ got in the way. THANKYOU AGAIN ❤ for caring enough to do the video.Very thoughtful❤ Mary
My favorite Davy Jones song was Cuddly Toy, the dirtiest song ever to slide past the TV censors.
Unlike what this video stated, every member of the band played at least one instrument. Davy was a good drummer, but he was The Cute One. So the producers didn't want him hidden behind a drum kit. They put Micky behind the drums, even though he was a good guitar player. Micky settled in and busted ass to learn to play drums.
RIP Davy Jones
私は日本のモンキーズファンです
彼が日本に来た時にコンサートにも行きました
日本のファンクラブにも入っていました
二度目の奥さんと当時生後半年の３番目の娘さんのジェシカさんを抱いたディビーに会いました
お寺をたまたま歩いていたら会いました
あのときサインもらっておけばよかったと今でも後悔しています
１２年経っても彼に会いたいし悲しい彼がいないのが。
RIP Davy Jones
I saw a pic of his grandson, years ago. He really favors his granddad.
RIP Davy Jones 🙏
I saw Davy perform live at Boston City Hall. Fabulous! I adored him as a preteen. He asked the audience to look into their partner’s eyes and sing a sincere love song with him. My fiancee fessed up he was a big liar and opportunist. Davy has just spoke how painful divorce was. Thanks Davy! I didn’t marry that Jerk!
RIP Davy Jones
I remember the Monkees were on the cover of TV Guide and my young aunt read the article to us. We watched the shows debut that night. I was 9. Couldn't tell you when the Trading cards with gum were sold - but I had them as well. I love their shows/ music. In fact MTV aired the shows in 1986. The Monkees used a synthesizer on one of their records when it wasn't popular yet. Thanx! PS Davy Jones was in the stage show Oliver on The Ed Sullivan Show the same night The Beatles were on.
RIP Davy Jones
Valerie.. Dave’s was my crush. My BFF pined for Mickey. 😂
RIP Davy Jones
Oh God, what did they do to you? They used you mercilessly. You were a shining star, but people were too stupid to see it.
RIP Davy Jones
I am younger than the people on here( 26,), however, as a lead vocalist, we are currently doing covers, and we cover three Monkees tunes: 1. Daydream Beliver! 2. Little bit me, a little bit you, 3. I Wanna to be free! God bless you guys, 🙏! Joey in Cleveland
RIP Davy Jones
I had a secret love affair with Davy which started in 1986 in Australia 🇦🇺❤️
RIP Davy Jones
