Aw, my fav of the group:
"Michael Nesmith, the singer-songwriter, author, actor-director and entrepreneur who will likely be best remembered as the wool-hatted, guitar-strumming member of the made-for-television rock band The Monkees, has died at 78.
Nesmith, who had undergone quadruple bypass surgery in 2018, died of natural causes at his Carmel Valley home near California's Central Coast, his family said in a statement.
Nesmith was a struggling singer-songwriter in September 1966 when “The Monkees” television debut turned him and fellow band members Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and David Jones into overnight rock stars.
They had four No. 1 albums in 1967 alone." ----------------------------
And everyone of them better then the trash that's out now. Well, not counting the Weekend. That dude's a freakin genius.
RIP

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't most of their songs written by Neil diamond?
Also, here's Nesmith's best:

Neil wrote "I'm a believer" for sure.
Also pretty sure his mom invented White Out, so was already rich as hell.
