The magic of The Monkees
With news of the death of Davy Jones, we chew over what is the magic of The Monkees? The first manufactured boy band. Listen out for the former manager of Blue, Daniel Glatman.
Your Call today focuses on the impact of The Monkees (following the death of Davy Jones)- the music they made, the TV shows they starred in and the influence they've had on music today. Particularly as the first example of a manufactured boy band.
Listen out for Pat Gilbert of Mojo and Q Magazine. Also Daniel Glatman, the former manager of Blue.
Good range of callers including...
Andrew in Oxon- I was raised in 60s in USA and watched the entire process of the Beatles and the Monkees. I saw them in concern (Monkees) but they were really great. It was pre Vietnam and a fairytale time for all.
Martin in Bacup Quite amazing people who are 30 years old appreciate The Monkees. Very rare for a manufactured band. The span of generations is amazing.
