Two members of the Monkees were among those who celebrated the life of Davy Jones in a special memorial concert yesterday at B.B. King's in New York City.
Both Monkees Peter Tork and Micky Dolenz attended and sang as part of the four-hour shows. Also participating in the show were Tommy James, Richard Marx, Gene Cornish of the Rascals, Deena Martin and members of Davy Jones' band. Two of Davy Jones' daughters, Annabel and Talia, were also in attendance. Cousin Brucie of Sirius/XM emceed the event.
Fred Velez who attended, reported that singer Richard Marx appeared in a video of "I Wanna Be Free." Actress Deena Martin, daughter of Dean Martin, had formerly appeared in a Monkees' episode, "Some Like It Lukewarm."
Peter Tork was the first of the two Monkees to appear and sang "What Am I Doing Hanging Round?," a song by fellow Monkee Mike Nesmith, who did not attend.
Micky Dolenz joined him onstage later. He sang "You and I" from the "Justus" album which was co-written by Dolenz and Jones. And for the finale, Tork and Dolenz joined with many of the special guests and sang one of Jones' best-known songs with the Monkees, "Daydream Believer."
