 <\/p>\n

When I was a kid in ’72<\/em><\/strong> in Sioux City<\/u><\/em><\/strong>, my friends Spencer, Chris<\/u><\/em><\/strong> & I used to watch “The MONKEES”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> on Saturdays about noon, & I thought Micky Dolenz<\/u><\/em><\/strong> was about as cool as it got, (to me)<\/em> he had a cool haircut (in the 1st season 66-67)<\/em> he was the Lead singer & played Drums, on a cool Champagne Pink Gretsch<\/u><\/em><\/strong> 5 piece drum set<\/em> & sang lead on songs like “Saturday’s Child” & “Tomorrow’s Gonna Be Another Day”<\/u><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

>\u00a0Count of Monte Cristo: 1956 -1965 <<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He was born George Michael Dolenz Jr.<\/u> on 8 Mar 1945 in L.A.CA<\/a>. <\/em><\/strong>his parents George Sr.<\/u><\/em><\/strong> (Jure Dolenc: 5 Jan 1908; Triste: Slovene: Austria-Hungry – 8 Feb 1963;<\/em> L.A.)<\/em> appeared in some 45 films & TV shows<\/em>, & his mother Janelle Johnson<\/u><\/em><\/strong> (2 Dec<\/em> 1923; Austin TX. – 2 Dec 1995 CA.)<\/em> was a singer with her own radio show in Austin<\/u><\/em><\/strong> & an actress in a couple of films, his younger sister Coco<\/u><\/em><\/strong> (Gemma Marie Dolenz: 5 Apr<\/em> 1949)<\/em> is also a talented singer who appeared in the TV show “Circus Boy”<\/u><\/strong><\/em> with her brother & sang on several MONKEES <\/em><\/strong>recordings.<\/p>\n

Micky,<\/u><\/em><\/strong> then known as “Micky Braddock”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> (to avoid confusion with his father who<\/em> was also still active actor)<\/em> landed the role as “Corky”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in the\u00a0 NBC<\/u><\/em><\/strong> TV show “Circus<\/u><\/strong><\/em> Boy”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> for\u00a0 49 Episodes from Sep 1956 to Dec 1957<\/em>, there was a soundtrack 45 Single with Picture Sleeve released for this TV show, however; though Micky <\/em><\/strong>is pictured on the cover, he does not appear on the record, after that show ended he appeared on the “Zane Gray Theater: The Vaunted”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in ’58 as “Ted Matson”<\/em><\/strong> then in ’59 he appeared as “Melvin”<\/em><\/strong> on “Playhouse 90: Velvet Alley”.<\/u><\/em><\/strong> Micky took some time off from acting & went to technical school for drafting<\/em>, until the early 60s, when Dolenz took up singing, his 1st band was “Micky & The One-Nighters”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> where they mostly performed 50s Rock & Roll Covers<\/em>, such as “Johnny B. Goode”, “Too Much Monkey Business” & “I Got\u00a0 A Woman”.<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In Feb ’64<\/em><\/strong> The BEATLES<\/u><\/em><\/strong> hit America, & Dolenz<\/u><\/em><\/strong> finds himself back on the small screen in Dec ’64<\/em><\/strong> as “Ed”<\/em><\/strong> on “Mr. Novak: Born Of Kings & Angles”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> followed by a 3 episode<\/em> stint on “Payton Place”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> as “Kitch Brunner”<\/em><\/strong> in Mar ’65<\/em><\/strong>. Improving his guitar skills he was the Lead Vocalist & Rhythm Guitarist<\/em> for “The Missing Links”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> (at this time there was no less than 3 different bands with this name; including 1 in NYC with a young man named Eugene Klein who eventually became Gene $immons of<\/em> “KISS”)<\/em> this band cut a 3 song demo for “Challenge Records”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> which was eventually released when Dolenz was famous for being in The MONKEES<\/em><\/strong>. There was another 45 Single released under the name “Missing Links”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> however when I gave a copy to Dolenz in ’93 in Lincoln NE,<\/em> he stated “Thanks for that, but those 2 songs are not me, I remember my 1st recording sessions, & it wasn’t either of those 2 songs” <\/em><\/p>\n

> I’ll Meet You At The Station: 1965 -1970 <<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Fall of ’65 Dolenz<\/u><\/em><\/strong> auditioned for a TV show titled “The MONKEES”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> & won the role as the Lead Singer & the Drummer<\/em><\/strong>, signing a 7 year contract<\/em><\/strong>, they filmed 58 TV Episodes, 1 Film & a TV Special, as\u00a0well as 13 single 45s, 10 LPs & 4 CDs, &<\/em> 4 concert tours<\/em> for the band, Dolenz also appeared in Sonny & Cher’s 1967<\/em><\/strong> film “Good Times”.<\/u><\/em><\/strong> It was during the height of Dolenz’s popularity his 1st 45 Singles were released “Don’t Do It (Dolenz) b\/w Instrumental”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in 1966<\/em><\/strong> & “Huff Puff b\/w<\/u><\/em><\/strong> Instrumental”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in 1967 <\/em><\/strong>both 45s were released on Challenge Records<\/u><\/em><\/strong>. Dolenz last official job for The MONKEES<\/em><\/strong> was a concert with David Jones<\/em><\/strong> on\u00a016 Sep 1971<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in Philadelphia <\/em><\/strong>for the radio station WFIL<\/u><\/em><\/strong>, and then, The MONKEES were no more.<\/p>\n

> Don’t Care Who’s Side You’re On: 1971 -1972 <<\/u><\/em><\/strong>
\nDolenz’s<\/u><\/em><\/strong> mother helped Micky invest his MONKEES’<\/em><\/strong> money wisely, so he didn’t really need to work, after about a year of rest & relaxation<\/em>, Dolenz went back to work as “Skip”<\/em><\/strong> on the “Funky Phantom”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in 1971 <\/em><\/strong>he also released his 1st post MONKEES solo single “Easy On You b\/w Oh Someone”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in Oct 1971<\/em><\/strong> on MGM Records<\/u><\/em><\/strong>, the president of MGM <\/u><\/em><\/strong>was Mike Curb (24 Dec 1944)<\/u><\/em><\/strong> an old high school buddy of his, & signed him to a recording contract. The “A -Side”<\/em> was entirely done by Dolenz himself, it seems Dolenz liked a little bit of comedy or goofiness<\/em> to his original compositions. & the “B-Side”<\/em> was his 1st work released with MONKEE: Peter Tork<\/u><\/em><\/strong> since Dec ’68.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1972<\/em><\/strong> Dolenz really kept himself busy, cutting a version of “Family Of Man”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> (released by: Three Dog Night) in Jan (still unreleased) & then appearing in 3 TV Shows “My Three Sons”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in Apr,<\/em><\/strong> &\u00a0 “Adam 12”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> & “Canon”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in Sep<\/em><\/strong> & the Film “Night Of<\/u><\/em><\/strong> The Strangler”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> as “Vance”<\/em><\/strong> which was released in Oct ’72.<\/em><\/strong> His 2nd MGM 45 Single<\/em> “Unattended In The Dungeon b\/w A Lover’s Prayer” <\/u><\/em><\/strong>(Randy Newman)<\/em> was released in Jun \u201872,<\/em> Oddly enough there is a lyric in the song “Unattended”<\/em><\/strong> that Dolenz expressed a little concern over being released, as it was written “I’d rather be<\/em> kicked in the groin, than Make me play another gig in Des Moines”<\/em> now I lived in Des Moines, Iowa<\/em><\/strong> from 1984 -99,<\/em> I finally got a copy of this song in Apr ’87<\/em>, & I played this record to death, & I never caught the lyric, even after having written an article for “Monkeeshines”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in Sep 1991<\/em> on Dolenz’s Solo recordings<\/em>. Several other songs were recorded at this time (Jun ’72)<\/em> with a 7 piece band & 26 piece orchestra<\/em> “Since I Fell For You” “A Long Time Since St. Louis” “Love Is All I Have” & “It’s Amazing To Me” (ver #1)<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the summer of ’72 Dolenz teamed up with MGM House Producer Michael Lloyd<\/u><\/strong><\/em> (3<\/em> Nov 1948)<\/em>& several members of: “Superband”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> (containing 2 members “3 Dog Night”)<\/em> to create the band “Starship”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> (in an effort to hide Dolenz’s identity)<\/em> to release the single “Johnny B. Goode b\/w It’s Amazing To Me”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> (ver #2) (Dolenz)<\/em>\u00a0 in Oct ’72<\/em><\/strong> on\u00a0 Lion Records<\/u><\/em><\/strong> from the forth coming album “Future Rock”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> here are the other songs recorded for this unreleased LP:<\/em> “Monkees Medley (4 songs)” “Long Tall Sally”\u00a0 “Little Bitty Pretty One” “Fools Gold” “Apple Cart” “What Can I Do” “When I’m With You” “Let The Good Times Roll”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> (released by The Osmonds),<\/em> once the LP was released the band was to open for The Osmonds<\/u><\/em><\/strong> on the ’72 -73 “Crazy Horses<\/em> Tour”<\/em> unfortunately the LP was never released therefore they were unable to participate on the tour & the project disbanded.<\/p>\n

> Where You Been: 1973 -1974 <<\/u><\/em><\/strong>
\nThings began slowing down for Dolenz <\/em><\/strong>in ’73<\/em><\/strong>, for his next single he teamed up with his old friend Harry Nilsson<\/u><\/em><\/strong> (see BUZZ Article #40-Nn)<\/em> “Daybreak b\/w Love War”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> (Dolenz)<\/em> was released in May \u201873<\/em><\/strong> on Romar Records<\/u><\/em><\/strong>. Nilsson<\/em><\/strong> had a new film “Son Of Dracula”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> coming out in Apr ’74<\/em><\/strong>, a 2nd promo copy<\/em> of “Daybreak”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> remixed & was sent out to radio stations to promote the film. MONKEES<\/em><\/strong> Producer Chip Douglas <\/u><\/em><\/strong>(27 Aug 1942)<\/em> created a promo video for this song, being the very 1st Dolenz solo video. The “B-Side”<\/em> is another Dolenz original, hysterical, lyrically, there were 2 other songs recorded during these sessions “(listen to the) Mocking Bird” & “Long Time St. Louis<\/u><\/em><\/strong> (ver #2).<\/em> In Sep ’73<\/u><\/em><\/strong> Dolenz auditioned for the role of “Fonzie”<\/em><\/strong> on “Happy Days”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> he lost out to Henry Winkler<\/u><\/em><\/strong>. Micky did make 2 TV appearances on\u00a0 the TV shows “Butch Cassidy” & “Owen Marshall Attorney At Law”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in Oct ’73, from here on out Dolenz usually did voice over work in cartoons<\/em>. Dolenz’s final single for MGM<\/em><\/strong> was released in Mar ’74<\/em><\/strong> “Buddy Holly Tribute:”PeggySue, EveryDay, Maybe Baby, That’ll Be The Day” b\/w Ooh She’s Young”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> (Dolenz)<\/em> on Romar Records<\/u><\/em><\/strong> to capitalize on the “American\u00a0Graffiti”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> \u00a0film trend, he also appeared on the TV shows: “These Are The Days” & “Devlin”.<\/u><\/em><\/strong> Sometime in ’74 Dolenz traveled to London <\/u><\/em><\/strong>to begin work on a 50s Covers album<\/em> tentatively titled “I<\/u><\/em><\/strong> Hate Rock & Roll”<\/u><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0along with the title song, these other songs recorded for this LP \u00a0“Purple People Eater” “Splish Splash” & “Wing Walker”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> a song written by former MONKEES<\/u><\/em><\/strong> songwriter Bill Martin (R.I.P. 27 Jan 2016),<\/u><\/em><\/strong> legendary “RAINBOW”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> member Cozy<\/u><\/em><\/strong> Powell <\/u><\/em><\/strong>(1947-1998),<\/em> provided the drums for these tracks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

> I Remember The Feeling: 1974 -1977 <<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The McDonald’s<\/u><\/em><\/strong> company had the idea to unit all 4 original MONKEES<\/em> for a TV commercial, at the exact same time a promotion company offered all 4 original<\/em> MONKEES<\/u><\/em><\/strong> a US Summer Tour<\/em>, problems arose when Tork<\/u><\/em><\/strong> informed McDonald’s<\/em><\/strong> he was a vegetarian<\/em> & would not be part of the commercial & Nesmith<\/u><\/em><\/strong> would only do a tour if a new album<\/em> was part of the deal, the company only wanted a tour & did not want to fund a new LP. Dolenz & Jones<\/u><\/em><\/strong>, now seasoned entertainers & never afraid to work, contacted their former MONKEES Songwriters, Producer & Musicians<\/em> Tommy Boyce &<\/u><\/em><\/strong> Bobby Hart<\/em><\/strong><\/u> (see BUZZ article #11-K)<\/em> to form “Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> from 1974 to 1976<\/u><\/em><\/strong> for\u00a0 2 Concert Tours 1 LP (with 1 song being written in a Des<\/em> Moines airport) & 2 Singles & 1 TV Special (Betamax)<\/em>. Dolenz <\/em><\/strong>in his down time appeared in 2 films:”Keep Off My Grass”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in Mar ’75<\/em><\/strong> & “Linda Lovelace For<\/u><\/em><\/strong> President”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in Apr ’75<\/em><\/strong>. Boyce & Hart<\/u><\/em><\/strong> hung with the project long enough to complete their 2 year contract, where as the other 2 continued as “Dolenz\u00a0 & Jones (w\/ Coco)”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> from 1977 -78<\/em><\/strong> releasing 1 LP & performing 2 Concert Tours & 2 Musicals & a couple TV<\/em> & Radio appearances<\/em> (once on Rodney Bingenheimer’s KROC Dolenz confessed he<\/em> was a fan of the band KISS).<\/em> Dolenz also did voice work in “Skatebirds” “Captain<\/u><\/em><\/strong> Caveman”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in \u201877 & “Scooby Doo & Dynomutt Hour”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in Nov ’78.<\/em><\/p>\n

> Me, I Got Nothin To Do: 1979- 83 <<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dolenz & Jones<\/u><\/em><\/strong> went to the UK<\/u><\/em><\/strong> to perform in Nilsson’s “The Point”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> Musical, when the play ended Dolenz stayed in England, he did release “Love Light b\/w Alicia\u201d<\/u><\/em><\/strong> (Dolenz) on Chrysalis Records<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in ’79<\/em> with a Promo Video<\/em> starring his wife Trina,<\/em><\/strong> before hanging up his musical & acting career to become a\u00a0 BBC director for the next few years. Then Kodak<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in Japan used a MONKEES’ <\/u><\/em><\/strong>song in a 1981 TV commercial which launched the 2nd big MONKEES’ resurgence. Dolenz came out of musical retirement to do his very 1st solo tour in ’81<\/em>, unfortunately it was only in Japan,<\/em><\/strong> followed by a Japanese only LP<\/em> release of “Micky Dolenz & Davy Jones: MGM Years”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in 1982<\/em><\/strong> followed by his 1st single in 3 years<\/em> “To Be Or Not To Be b\/w<\/u><\/em><\/strong> Beverly Hills” <\/em><\/strong><\/u>(Dolenz)<\/em> on JARMC Records<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in ’82, followed by his 2nd solo tour of Japan with the backing band “Marlboro”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> here is the setlist for a show in Jan 1982:

> That Was Then This Is Now: 1986 & On <<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As the 20th Anniversary of The MONKEES TV show<\/em> was approaching in Sep ’86<\/em><\/strong> David Fischoff<\/u><\/em><\/strong> was able to get 3 of the 4 MONKEES<\/em> back together Dolenz, Jones &<\/em><\/strong> Tork,<\/em><\/strong> (remember Dolenz, Jones & Nesmith toured as a trio in ’69)<\/em> & thus a whole other chapter of the MONKEES<\/em><\/strong> began from 1986 to 1989<\/u><\/em><\/strong> (see future BUZZ article)<\/em> a Dolenz solo EP was released “Don’t Do It”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> on Vinyl in ’87<\/em>. In 1991 Dolenz embarks on his 2nd solo career<\/em> finally releasing several solo CDs (no vinyl)<\/em>\u00a0\u201dPuts You To Sleep”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in 1991 & toured with Donnie Brooks for the “30 Years Of Rock N Roll Show”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> I saw Dolenz, 3 times<\/em> on this tour in Burlington, IA. Merrilleville, IN. & Okaboji, IA.<\/em><\/strong> I was able to speak with Dolenz several times & give him several cassettes of his solo records “Thanks man, I don’t have any of that stuff anymore, I have been divorced<\/em> twice!”<\/em> Micky appeared on the “Ben Stiller Show: With Rob Marrow; The Grungies”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in Nov ’92,<\/em><\/strong> (this is absolutely worth watching)<\/em> & “Batman: Animated<\/u><\/em><\/strong> Series”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> & once again touring with the “Classic Rock All Stars”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in ’92<\/em><\/strong> I saw him in; Des Moines, IA.

 <\/p>\n

The MONKEES<\/u><\/em><\/strong> Trio reunited from 1996 -97<\/em><\/strong>, & Dolenz was directing the TV series “Pacific Blue”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> & then surprisingly Nesmith<\/em><\/strong> joined them in ’97, releasing a CD, a TV<\/em> Special, a Rockumentary & a Concert Tour<\/em>, until they called it quits in late ’97. Dolenz made an appearance in the TV movie “Love Bug”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> also in ’97<\/em><\/strong>. Then Dolenz <\/em><\/strong>embarked on his 3rd solo career<\/em> releasing his 3rd solo CD<\/em> “Demoiselle”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> on his own in 1998<\/u><\/em><\/strong> & was in the TV show “Secret Files Of Spy Dogs” & “Invisible Mom 2”.<\/u><\/em><\/strong> The Trio: Jones, Dolenz & Tork<\/u><\/em><\/strong> reunited from 2000 -2001<\/u><\/em><\/strong>, after this last tour Jones<\/u><\/em><\/strong> had no interest in working with the others again until 2011<\/u><\/em><\/strong>. Micky appeared in “Power Puff<\/u><\/em><\/strong> Girls”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in 2000<\/em><\/strong> & in the “Drew Carey Show”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in 2001<\/em><\/strong> & & in “As the World Turns”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in 2002<\/em><\/strong>, I myself saw Dolenz in 2002 & 2003 in Mille Lacs, MN. @ The Grand Casino.
\n<\/em><\/strong>
\nIn the last few years Dolenz<\/em><\/strong> appeared in “Johnny Bravo”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in 2004<\/em><\/strong>. He was in\u00a0Rob Zombie’s “Halloween”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in 2007<\/em><\/strong> & released his 4th solo CD<\/em> “King For A Day”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in 2010<\/em><\/strong>, shortly after the final reunion with Jones, Dolenz & Tork<\/u><\/em><\/strong>. Micky released his 5th solo CD<\/em> “Remember”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in 2012<\/em><\/strong>, about the same time the 3rd version of the MONKEES Trio emerged: “Dolenz, Nesmith & Tork”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> which performed 2 separate<\/em> concert tours in 2012 & 2014.<\/em><\/strong> Dolenz released his 6th solo CD<\/em> “A Little Bit Broadway, A Little Bit Rock N Roll”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in 2015<\/em><\/strong> & most recently his 7th & yet 1st solo<\/em> LP “MGM Singles Collection”<\/u><\/em><\/strong> Fall 2015<\/em>.<\/p>\n

So you see Micky Dolenz,<\/u><\/em><\/strong> was not just an Actor or Musician or a Director<\/em>, he has spent his last 60 years <\/em>working at all 3 roles<\/em> in his career !<\/p>\n
