Peter Tork and Davy Jones in 1987 πŸ™‚

Remembering Davy, and sending thoughts to his family and friends. β€œ[Davy] was the one member in the group that I had the strongest human connection with. I still have two guys that I love and respect left from the band, but we share a different dynamic.” - Peter Tork, Review Mag, May 27, 2016

Did you know that the song "Daydream Believer" was inspired by Buffy Ford Stewart whose husband John wrote the song? In 2010, Buffy and Davy Jones recorded a beautiful duet version of the song. (Video in the comments)

β€œMonkees Mind Their Manor” β€” directed by Peter β€” originally aired on February 26, 1968. β€œI found that The Monkees β€” both the series and the actors β€” were very tough to direct. I was fortunate because I had the help of some very inventive supporting players.” - Peter Tork
