Davy Jones of the Monkees...
My kids watched them, along with the old Sesame Street and Mr Rodgers. They weren't 'high art', but could sing/harmonize, as well as or, better than most groups of the time. I enjoyed their TV show and their songs. Jones was 66. Same ballpark as a few of us, here. RIP. Davy Jones, Monkees Heartthrob, Dies at 66 - NYTimes.com

It is hard to fathom that The Monkees sold more albums than The Beatles. Pretty incredible.
My friend went on tour with The Monkees last summer but things ended rather abruptly due to infighting between the guys. Of course it was over money. Supposedly they don't own anything to do with The Monkees. Rhino Records owns it all, including the name and inconic guitar Monkees logo.

Sad to hear about Davy Jones.
Those facts about the Monkees. Sorry to say that's the problem with what used to be the music industry. Now it's the "Lawyer" industry. Sometimes it's the artist fault but more often it's the legalities that get in the way of the Art. Whitney Houston's comment during an interview were very telling. Quote "I love to sing but it isn't fun anymore" "Things have changed. It's all about the money" It is true that money has always been the driving motive behind many people in the business however the level to which it has reached is now beyond comprehension.

I can only imagine how many girls told their boyfriends that they'd leave if they had the chance to be with Davey...
A gem:

Looks like Whitney knew how to spend all of that money that she was left with by the big bad music company:
Whitney Houston’s heirs are counting on royalties from her record company Sony, they may soon feel like paupers. On Wednesday, music-industry blogger Wayne Rosso quoted a label executive “familiar with Sony’s accounting” who said the late singer’s estate probably won’t see any royalty checks from her record label “in our lifetime” — and maybe longer — thanks in part to the number of advances and loans she took from the $100 million deal she cut with Sony Music in 2001.
