Singer Davy Jones of The Monkees has died of a heart attack at 66, the medical examiner's office in Martin County, Fla. has confirmed to NBC News.
The news was originally reported by TMZ.
Jones was most famous for his role in the pop group The Monkees, which was put together in 1965 for the TV show of the same name. Their hits included "Daydream Believer," "Last Train to Clarksville," "I'm a Believer," and "Pleasant Valley Sunday." They also charted with the theme song from the show.
He also made a famous appearance on "The Brady Bunch."
In 2008, Yahoo Music named him the top teen idol of all time.

I remember driving round in High School in the mid 80's with their Greatest Hits tape cranked up in my car.

What a shame. I was quite a fan back in the day.
We are indeed all getting old.

My mom and I watched them at the state fair some years ago. Mom always talked about what a crush she had on Davy (what girl didn't!). She still has their old records. Like those big round black discs. And a turntable to play them on. She'll probably do that today. LOL.

Yes, Jen, most of us know what "records" are/were. Originally Posted by jendf

My girlfriends and I never missed The Monkees show.
Of course Davy was always our favorite.

Yeah, it was a kind of joke. I had no doubt you all were older than dirt. Originally Posted by linda22003

No kidding. Davy was only ten years older than I am. Originally Posted by jendf
