La Trágica Historia Real De The Monkees

The Monkees didn't fare so badly, given that they were created as a television response to The Beatles. But The Monkees didn't always have good luck, despite their celebrity. This is the tragic true story of The Monkees. The success of The Beatles' films, A Hard Day's Night and Help!, inspired television producers to do something similar. Thus, The Monkees were born. They didn't traditionally put together like other bands. They auditioned and were selected for their television talents such as charisma, appearance, and acting. But Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork were accomplished musicians, and Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones also had good musical chops. The show was conceived like any sitcom. Actors played the characters, and the music was pre-recorded; the band only provided vocals. After the group released their first single and performed a few concerts, it became clear that they weren't just actors. Still, The Monkees could never shake the nickname "Pre-Fab Four," a play on The Beatles' nickname, "The Fab Four."
