I'll Be True to You (the Monkees)

John,

Thanks so much! I was (and still am) a fan of the Monkees. Their television show was a highlight of my youth, and my older siblings had all of their albums. Despite being labeled the "pre-fab four" they had made some great music together. Once again, wonderful job!

A nice blast from the past my friend.

Thanks, Bill! The Monkees had a lot of great songs that were definitely part of the soundtrack of that era. Mike Nesmith was a good songwriter and wrote "Different Drum." Too bad the Monkees didn't put out a version of that song.
 
Nice job. The Monkees had some great people writing for them, and eventually grew into a more independent group. There was recently a good podcast of Alec Baldwin interviewing Mickey Dolenz. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heres-the-thing-with-alec-baldwin/id472939437?i=1000478151528

Thanks, EDW. Thanks for the heads up about the Mickey Dolenz interview. I like listening to interviews with the artists of the past and seeing the human side of these icons. I'll check it out! :)
 
As someone who never missed an episode of The Monkees TV series, and who still owns every one of their albums, it goes without saying that I loved your rendition of “I’ll Be True To You.” In my head, I can still see Davy Jones walking on the beach, singing this song. :) Thanks for the memories, John!
