Image by Getty Images via @daylifeDavy Jones, the 5'3" tall actor, singer and frontman of the made-for-TV rock group, The Monkees, died at 66 years of age of a heart attack barely two days ago. He graced the Boomers of the 60s with a wonderfully positive presence, a self-deprecating sense of humor and an infectiously affable sense of humor. Dazz confesses that you, Davy, were one of his childhood idols...My favorite of his songs was "Daydream Believer," and I wanted to share it with you while I quietly mourn the end of a life and the end of an era.
I would like to follow it with an appropriate and underappreciated late era Righteous Brothers song -- "Rock And Roll Heaven," and somber couldn't-miss single that exhibits the rugged bottom side baritone of singer Bill Medley's voice.
All of you DAZZophiles know the clicking ritual. Davy -- rest in peace. And thank you.
