Davy Jones
Aiming to cash in on the success of The Beatles, American television producers created a television show that featured a quartet of fun-loving musicians, achieving instant success with The Monkees. Davy Jones, a young, aspiring actor was cast in the series, which aired for the first time on September 12, 1966. Within two months, the show had moved into the Top 20, and the Monkees' first single and album both soared to #1 on the charts. Pop culture, pop music, and Davy Jones would never be the same.
In this lively and entertaining memoir, Jones recounts his life and career—from The Monkees' beginnings to the 1980s reunion and revival—with funny, nostalgic, and revealing memories of the glamorous people and high-rolling deals that lie behind the scenes of show business.

What made the experience of listening to They Made a Monkee Out of Me the most enjoyable?
Davy's voice was always distinctive, and in this you hear not only his lovely tones, but his lovely soul.What did you like best about this story?
Davy narrating about his reconciliation with Micky Dolenz, and how he developed so much more respect for him after that.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Both laughed and cried. A picture developed of a man who trusted people, trusted the world, and was frequently abused for it, and whose talent was enormous.Any additional comments?
Peter Tork said that the saddest thing about Davy's passing was that most would never know the depth and breadth of this man's heart, that Davy was the most heartfelt man he'd ever known. This book, and Davy's voice narrating it, reveals that heart.the depths of his heart
