Sad news. Until last year, I wasn't aware that Carol King wrote some of their hits. Another Pleasant Valley Sunday probably being the biggest one. Yep, a talented songwriter, written with her husband Gerry Goffin. Neil Diamond was another notable writer for them.

Just been reading up on the Monkees. I am old enough to remember them just but wanted to refresh my memory. The press slaughtered them at the time as the "Pre Fab Four" (Apparently the Beatles knew and liked them). This was unfair as they were musicians to a certain standard and did write some of their own stuff and took control of their career. However they have never received any respect from the music industry. The press were sniffy they didn't play on their own records in the early days and yet today this is standard practice for many artists. Many of today's manufactured artists cannot read or write music nor play any instruments but they have the look which seems to be the main thing. So I guess as a manufactured band they were ahead of their time and were probably more talented than some of the current Simon Cowell type stable. RIP Peter time to quit monkeeing around. That's interesting, Badger. Neil Innes later used that phrase in respect of The Rutles - his Beatles parody band.

I'm obviously older than you as in my time it was the Beatles or the Rolling Stones 1959 vintage

I feel more sad about this than I thought I should be. Just puts more distance between these ghastly times we live in and one’s childhood. Last Train to Bendersville.

The Monkees were good fun, and fair play to them for making songs written by Neil Diamond vaguely listenable. For a while, at school, you had to declare whether you were 'The Monkees' or 'The Beatles'. The Monkees seem to have had a song either entitled or known as 'Randy Scouse Git'. Not one I'm familiar with though. RIP. Very sad. Edited by YT (22 Feb 2019 7.47am) I used to love that era of TV. Banana Splits, Batman, Lost in Space, Land of the Giants, Mission Impossible.

Pogles' Wood, Out of Town with Jack Hargreaves, The Onedin Line, ah yes, not forgetting Going for a Song with Arthur Negus, exciting times they were, trying to think of bad taste puns from Monkees lyrics, not up to it sadly

It was known as 'Alternate Title' in the USA as they didn't understand the reference to 'Til Death Us Do Part. The lyrics talk about the 'Four Kings of EMI' - The Beatles. I also saw The Monkees at the RAH on their 45th Anniversary Tour, and saw Peter at The Borderline in about 2004. Really nice guy. Very sad news. Much as I dislike being pendantic, it was actually called "Alternate Title" in the UK as the record company were nervous about releasing a song with the word "git" in the name, as it was deemed to be a controversial word back then. It was released under its original name in the US, the word being meaningless there.
