The Monkees were formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1965. This was a 'manufactured' group from over 400 applicants. Michael Nesmith, Davy Jones, Peter Tork and Micky Dolenz were selected to be the members of the made-for-television group. They became nicknamed "The Pre-Fab Four".
Despite the fact they they had not been in a group together previously,
they had great chemistry and could sing. They entertained fans for 58
episodes of The Monkees TV show.
Between
1966 and when the group disbanded in 1969, they scored 18 singles on
the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Not only that, but they reached Top Ten
status and earned Gold Records 6 times!
