The Monkees was a band created for a TV show by the same name in 1966. The band members included Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork. The Monkees show ran on NBC from 1966-1968, but the pop rock band gained real world popularity, with hit songs such as “I’m a Believer.” In the 1980s the group would go on tours and special appearances, and they put out a 1996 reunion album. The television program won two Emmys in its first year and the group had four albums hit the Billboard chart in one year. In the years after the death of Jones and Took, Nesmith and Dolenz went on tour as The Monkees once more in 2021.
