"What Are We Going To Do?" #93 8/21/1965

This is notable solely for the artist. David Jones started in theater and was in "Oliver!" on Broadway as the Artful Dodger. The cast was on Ed Sullivan the same night as the Beatles' first appearance. David saw the hysteria from backstage and decided he wanted to be a rocker. He became Davy Jones and, of course, wound up in the Monkees. Today's tune is in the Herman's Hermits "Mrs. Brown" vein. Trivia: Davy's success caused another guy with the same name to call himself David Bowie.
