Davy Jones-Together 

Datx my grandfather playing piano....r.i.p

This is really great!!! Davy could sing anything - any type of song - and sing it well too!! From Broadway, to Pop, to Rock, to Country, and everything in between!! What a great talent he was!!! His comedy, his acting, his singing, his dancing, were all first rate!!! And his looks were a wonderful added bonus!!! Miss him...!!

davy's eyes are a perfect window to God's love. he is singing with angels now...

Had a HUGE crush on both Davids back then...still luv em both

My litlle angel Davy. Forever in my heart.

I wish Rhino or somebody would find material from this '69 tour with Sam & the Goodtimers and release an album. I'd love to hear some of the stuff from Instant Replay or Present live.

I really miss him and my grandmother so bad right now I really wish they both were still here life was just that much richer with them here

Great video - thank you for posting it. Gonna miss you, Davy. R.I.P.

What a lovely unpretentious fun version and Davy's voice is so honest and natural. All so very carefree and innocent.

I love this video because I love Davy Jones. He is still so cute and I wish I knew him in real life. I would love to tell him just how much I love him. His wife is one lucky lady to have him in her life. Well done Davy.

If Davy sang the phonebook, it would be hilarious!!!

F***ing Brilliant!!! Davy was a beautiful man of such pure talent. I had the honor of meeting him twice and got some of my memorabilia signed. I treasure that even more now. So hard to believe he's gone!!! Love you, Davy.

I want to reach through my computer screen and hug him! Oh how sad I am that he's gone. :(

I remember Davy explaining soul to us in the episodes with Charlie Smalls...and trying to tell us he had no soul in his music....well he's got plenty of it in this one!

Thanks for the video. I thought I knew everything Monkee related, yet this is new to me.

He was so adorable. It's heartbreaking to know he's gone now. :(

great stuff never heard this before the monkees dont get enough credit

This is great!!! It shows his wonderful versatility!!

So sad about him leaving us today. Miss you, Davy :-(

yes, he does seem to be more willing to discuss his fame with the monkees and i love that he performs the songs at all his concerts! :)

Absolutely. I totally agree.

He's still a great talent (I saw him recently). I think he should have gone back to Broadway after the Monkees fizzeled out. He would have been wonderful there.

Hehee. Love this. :) Go DAVY!

Ahhh...MY KING DAVID.

thanks for the post of one of my favorite singer from the 60's he will be truly missed

He really could!

Amazing! xoxo The Clarences

NEVER saw this before! I dropped seeing the o'reiley factor footage to see this new to me footage

Great Video, never seen it, and also I did not know {no one pointed it out yet} that he sang this particular Nilsson song. I have Harry's record of it. Dave did a good job, even if he is smug now and then. I saw them in concert in 1996 and loved every minute of it. I would love to see the live vintage performance of "Someday Man" with Sam and the Goodtimers. Excellent video! **** The Beatles, The Monkees and Nilsson. Are my Favs!!!

THE MAN

The Misic Scene. I remember that show. I looked forward to the episode with The Archies. i was diappointed to see them only play a cartoon!

Hi Backmore4 That makes perfect sense, cheers for the info.

You've got that right!

Davy should have done a solo record with these guys around this time instead of that fluff he was forced to out in '71.

nd now hez 60---he still iz good

Wasn't he adorable?

@RevSpike yes he sings Together right after my old desk on the same clip.. I hope you've checked it out by now.. I've been watching a lot of stuff.. got into seeing many Monkees clips in January and February and then the end of Feb comes and Davy passed on.. RIP, Davy!!

FYI: Davy is coming here in Manila, Philippines this June 2009 for a show at Araneta Coliseum

Everybody has a right to their own opions I like All of the guys that includes Davy and I dont see anyone taken up for him when ex bandmates say stuff about him. and as for people that like Davy getting a life maybe the people that dont like him should stop watching his videos and rediculing people that do like him if you dont like what he has to say stop watching his videos.

another Harry Nilsson song! He also wrote Cuddly Toy and Daddy's Song, both of which Davy performed wonderfully.

tis true, he is very nice to fans. i just hope in future interviews hell swallow some of his words, 40+ years in the business or not.

"Davy Jones is as cute and poised as always, but the song lacks something in melody. " I was really looking forward to hearing Davy perform this as he has done great with prior Nilsson songs and this is one of my top10 Nilsson tunes. I think if you heard Nilsson's version you might agree -it's actually a lovely, hauntingly sad/romantic melody. Nilsson sings it smooth & seamlessly, with emotion. I think Davy got ahead of himself with his love for a great song, and doesn't have the voice for it.

hell yeah keith and ringo sang this! its a Nilsson song. Davy also recorded "Can She Do It Like She Dances" which Ringo also recorded.

I loved David Steinberg and the Music Scene! I remember he had this giant king kong gorilla leg which was supposedly King Kong and the last show he was talking to it and he was making plans to meet with him in 10 years and he said "how will I know you? Don't worry! I'll know you by the way you hold yourself" I died laughing!

Everything i have seen and read about Davy Jones is nothing but sweet. and to whomever called him a douche you need to do your homework i think you have Davy mixed up with Peter Tork.

davy jones (basically) got soul!!!!

Only thing is that Davy looks a heck of a lot better in my opinion.

@creaturebotman There is actually a couple of references to the monkees in both of the first two Austin Powers movies. I know in the second one with Heather Graham, when they are outside and there is a display with Records for sale. Someone picks up the album More of theMonkees and purposely shows it to the camera.

There should be a big video retrospective on the monkees and their solo times, I mean the Dick clark archives has a very great film of Davy singing the girl from chelsea, you only saw a very short clip of it on one of dick clark's specials

@kookooboy I think the discordant aspect is that this is a really challenging song to sing the way he's singing it.. at speed with lots of words to blast through with a hard charging band behind him... AND trying to dance his way through at the same time. It is said that some opera singer who tried to sing a Sinatra classic in his style would find themselves out of breath at the end of a phrase. similarly.. nilsson had a gift for writing songs that sound deceptively simple but hard to imitate.

He's my next-door naburs uncle I think that's awsome I saw him the other day so I searched him on utube and now I know ego he Is

take a look at Mike singing "Love Is Only Sleeping" with the Monkees sometime - it IS THE Austin Powers suit! um - and it's the other way around - of course the Austin character was based on these old styles and fads.

@shakwrig .... . Of course! Austin powers was all about the reference to the character in Austin Powers being of the area of "the British Invasion" in music of the 60's. The Monkees was the "American" answer to the answer two the Beatles. Yet they added Davey Jones British accent and all to the line up to give the flavor of what the girls craved for at the time. There is no doubt that they used Davey Jones as a reference to the character.

@blackmore4 british music hall links the greatest names in British rock.. Bowie, Mccartney, Townshend, and Davies.. you could see each of them in 1930s british top hat and tails singing their hearts out and yet each has an equally compelling alter ego as a hard rock icon! Davy seemed to excell at music hall arrangements like Daydream Believer or hard rock like Valleri!

eu gostei hein é manerona envolvente

Both Jones and Bowie stated they were big Anthony Newley fans and both had artistic ambition that incorporated that influence. In late 60's interviews when asked about his own songs, Jones would offer the term 'Broadway-rock' and for his solo spots at Monkee shows he'd often do a Newley song. Bowie's '67 material was the best Anthony Newley album not by Anthony Newley! He still cites Newley as an influence. So, Newley is the key!

or the Music Scene with David Steinberg, or the New People

If Day has a bit of an ego which I havent seen I think he is intitled to it he has been in the entertainment bussiness for over 40 years. And at least when you ask him for an autograph nine times out of ten he'll give you one unlike most celeberties now a days.

did Nilsson he really perform "Together" on Playboy after dark? I know he sang "My Old Desk" from the same album as "Together" ("Aerial Ballet") but if you've seen him singing Together on Playboy after dark I'd love to see it!

Então esse é o Dava Jonas das antigas ...

Is this sweet song on itunes

@teejay190de dont we all echo your feelings for sure

Austin Powers has nothing on this kid! Even with the late 60's clothes, Davy's gorgeous!

Certainly.. when you think of a British person you might actually have met or known.. you'd think of Davy Jones or Paul McCartney or Patrick Mcnee.. you'd probably NEVER think of Sean Connery which is another reason Austin Powers is so funny. Imagine taking an average recognizable brit wearing, as some did in those years, extroverted extremely stylish 60s fashions.. with the bad teeth and awkward presentation. It's like that scene in A Hard Day's Night when George talks to the fashion guru!

Davy Jones is a Brazilian youtuber

@creaturebotman I was just thinking that, just put some dark rimmed specs on him and you got the international man of mystery ! Lol.

David Bowie's real name is David Jones. So, I guess there is a connection!!

Can someone tell me if Davy recorded this on an album? Which one?

@katmusic2006 . Come on! Its sad he passed away. I grew up watching the Monkeys as a kid. The Monkeys were one of the first "manufactured" Boy bands. Talent, yes Sing? a little. Comedy? Yep. But SOUL? Look. just because he has a back up band with "Soul" brothers don't bring him even close to the sound of soul. If anything this particular song is "Soul-Less".Bland. Every Generation had its Justin Bieber. Jones never took himself seriously. . That's the hard facts. . R.I.P Dave Jones

Micky and Peter still sing Monkees songs too. There's video proof on this very site! Do a little research.

Billy Joel stole this.

@rockisheaven not how i c it,or howDavy was 2wards the Monkees,his interviews he's never given reason to make 1 think he didnt like those days,he loved those days.sometimes he hasnt so kind 2wards his bandmates,but perhaps thats cos theyre close like bros (not so much with mike tho,none of them have really seen Mike except the '97 days) when you'v had a tiff with your 'siblings' u r abit indifferent towards them,at that time. '11 they enjoyed the tour,at leastDavy left with them being like bros.

hey, daves my favorite member. that doesnt mean i have to agree with every single thing he says or does. no one stands up for davy because his ex bandmates just dont talk about him badly. i dont HATE davy... simply think hes been a bit fake and shallow in his attitude lately and believe he needs to deflate the ego just a tiny bit.

Now we know the inspiration for Austin Powers

@torresongs2 though Davy himself doesn't seem too pleased as he sings it. I think he might have wanted to do it a little slower. I just listened to Nilsson doing a performance of it.. kind of bland the way he did it but the pace was right. I too think it's sad that the end of the Monkees left the group adrift and then for the next 40 years Davy was never able to establish a new direction in the mainstream pop music world.

@californiaspinnaker That's very insightful. Are you an expert, the cocaine dealer, their secretary or the wall with ears? I think anytime people talk with their mouth at times a lot stupid falls out. RIP DAVY JONES!!! :)

didn't keith and ringo do this song????

No offense to Mike Micky or Peter and its great that they all have good lives going for them but as for Davy handeling the Monkee fame with the least grace like I said no offense to the other three guys cause I like them all but as far as I have seen Davy is the only one who still performs Monkee songs at all of his concerts and when asked about it He doesnt bite fans or interviewers heads off when asked about that time in his life so I think he has handled with alot of grace.

@creaturebotman What an ignorant remark. The inspiration for Austin powers was Michael Caine. I am not sure why Austin wound up looking like Peter Asher though.

I have done my homework and if you knew how to read you would have seen that I said no offense to the others and I said all of his concert I never said they didnt do them at their concert i said he does them at all of his concerts. next time you want to leave a comment read all of it not just part of it.

Did you know that Davy had a 7 foot circular bed too? So Austin Powers :)

@42feenix Actually it's a very intricate and well-written song. I imagine that you must be very young and inexperienced in love. This song manages to capture the high and low points in a relationship in a very short song. There was a time when not all pop songs featured dull soulless dance beats and inane, meaningless lyrics. Do us all a favor and go drool over the latest piece of talentless drivel that Nikki Minaj has squatted out!

@ajp55a LOL.. true.. you could hear David Bowie doing this .. more than a few times he did british music hall flavored things always shot through with his outsized delivery and vocal quirks. Davy might have done well with another take of this performance it seems to get away from him.. a LOT of words, a complex vocal line, and a rather loud and energy filled arrangement by the band with a full complement of horns!

Too bad he didn't record this. I like his version better than Harry Nilsson's (the songwriter).

He sounds or should i say early david bowie sound just like him. Sell me a coat etc the world of Mr David bowie LP. strange

Sure the Monkees have all had their share of ego problems. I mean, Micky is my favorite Monkee,and yet there are times that I've screamed at him, "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" The difference is, I think that Mike, Peter and Micky have handled the Monkee legacy with more grace and poise than Davy has. Let me reiterate that I loved the guy in the 60s--it's what he's turned into that I hate.

whats funny is, had anyone said the same stuff about davy that he has said about, say, ex-bandmates and deceased musicians, you guys would be angry. davy does seem genuine and kind most of the time, but some of his interviews (if not most) have left horrible tastes in my mouth. lets just say ive lost a lot of respect for davy.

@eartant but davy is way oh way oh WAY much cuter without a doubt

He's been saying absolutely awful things about Mike (which he's been doing for years anyway), Micky and Peter. Davy's really bitter because he's not a teen idol anymore, and he's unfairly taking it out on the other guys. And no, I will NOT shut up. If you don't want to read my comments, then don't read 'em.

I don't like him as he is NOW. He was fine in the 60s.

no he didnt

@ColeHan100 ... .in mannerism yes... M C for sure... But.. do this... find any clip on RU-vid with Austin Powers..Davy Jones inspired too! Look at the clothing and style... then come back and apologize...A Jesse Jackson Apology

Davy Jones is as cute and poised as always, but the song lacks something in melody.

I would have to second that--I've lost quite a bit of respect for him in recent days as well. I'll just leave it at that. Oh, and for those of you who seem to have no life other than running damage control for Davy Jones online--you need to get a life.

Too bad. I like his version better than Nilsson's

@californiaspinnaker thats rubbish

Couldn't sing to save his life...lol

@marciemeow Holla! *high-5s*

@californiaspinnaker So will eating lots of bacon, over-exercising, a well-aimed punch to the chest, age, hereditary lines, um... need I go on? So, was it all of the above, or do we not have any proof of any of those things listed above? DID Davy eat loads of bacon, DID he have heart problems run in his lineage? Oh--you're not sure? Well, that's okay. After all, you didn't KNOW any of them personally, or anything.
