- The Monkees were maligned as a manufactured made-for-TV 1960's group, yet when it came to talent each had serious credibility, none more so than Mikes Nesmith and Dolenz. The world first fell in love with Micky Dolenz from the opening lines of Neil Diamond's brilliant I'm A Believer, the follow-up single to Last Train To Clarksville, and then Pleasant Valley Sunday, etc. Compared to talent-free boy bands of the past 30 years, without exception Dolenz and cohorts were light yearsahead in terms of musical and acting talent, thus cementing the Monkees as one of the all-time greats of American pop music.
I think Mickey is the greatest that could listen to him talk all day
Agreed!
Mickey is such an underrated singer due to his comedy chops on The Monkees.
THIS is what someone in "the biz" sounds like WITHOUT EGO. Clear, coherent, compassionate, empathetic. LOVE! ✌💜👊 Mickey...Thank You for not ever being a douche. Would love to see the wood-work you love and give you a sheckle or two for it.
Micky Dolenz un monkee extraordinario, talentoso, encantador, excelente grandioso en la música, con una gran voz inconfundible!! I love❤ Micky Dolenz!!!
Micky looks and is so young here ! Micky still looks great even now and is the last Monkee left from the group !
Very nice! I enjoy seeing 70s interviews featuring The Monkees. It's great that Micky is still going strong even 50 years after this interview.
I was a huge fan of Mickey growing up in the 80s watching "the Monkees" reruns. I loved his voice and the harmonies of the songs. I understand the lack of street cred. But, they had great writers, wrote some of their own, had great session players recording and really have chemistry- vocally imo, and charisma. A good product is a good product.
Well said
So articulate!!!
Two legends together - Micky Dolenz and Whispering Bob Harris!
Wonderful interview ❤️🙏🏻
comes over a as a good guy.grew up with the monkees and he was my fave.
“Got off the plane just long enough to get over a hangover.”
That must have been one mother of a hangover!
Great interview with Micky that I had never seen or heard before! I was lucky enough to have met he, Davy Jones and Peter Tork several years at an autograph signing and also saw them in concert back in 1986 for their 20th Anniversary Tour in Pittsburgh.
I remember when Mickey was on the show "Circus Boy". His face really hasn't changed
2:57. LOL. Mickey's always been a good interview but I'd never seen this one before. Hilarious and insightful, from one of my all time favorite people.
THEEE chillest interviewer, EVER
I LOVE Watching the monkey TV Shows and I like Davy Jones and Mickey D..❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂
Music And Laughs!! The Monkees!!🎶🎶😁😎
Bob Harris! This is The Old Grey Whistle Test!
Great interview loved it❤
He was rehearsing the answers he'd be giving to the same questions he'd be asked over & over & over again for 50+ years. Otherwise decent interview.
It's the truth. He gives pretty much the same answers today.
Micky got a birthday coming up
he sounds like he’s on something haha
You think? Maybe just coming down.
@@Bigbadwhitecracker Micky did write in his book that he "smoked acres" of pot during that time period (early 70's)
He says he’s hung over and jet-lagged.
I always thought the interviewer was a bit of a downer.
You should have fact-checked your description of this video. Peter Tork was the most musically accomplished member of the group, and Last Train To Clarksville came before I'm A Believer.
While fully aware of that fact re Tork (and Dolenz acknowledged this), my opinion is that talent-wise Nesmith and Dolenz were indisputably creative geniuses and for what it's worth, Davy Jones like Tork were amazing talents and central to the success of the Monkees. You're right though about Last Train released before Believer
Mike was the strongest songwriter.
If you haven't seen it, there's a video on YT from I think 2011 of Peter playing a Bach on a theater organ. Simply amazing!!
Hey Hey it,s a Monkee post Monkee
5-year odd series? Where are the three missing seasons? 😂😂😂
hes out of it
If he can recall that Peter was living north of San Francisco in Mill Valley then he's not "out of it".
Brilliant?
No, fun and silly.
@@Bigbadwhitecracker As with all Micky interviews 😁
I wouldn't say it was brilliant but okay to look at if you're interested.
BEST INTERVIEW WITH A MONKEY! Just saw a bit of a small bit with Mickey old.Not good.
Why? I mean, he is old.
