	Davy Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Davy Jones, an actor and singer, was born David Thomas Jones on December 30, 1945 in Manchester, England.
		From 1965 to 1970 Jones was a member of The Monkees, a pop-rock group formed expressly for a TV show of the same name.
		As part of the "Oliver" cast, Jones had appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show on the same night the Beatles made their American TV debut on the Sullivan stage.

	Davy Jones
		Davy Jones began working as a professional actor as a teenager, on Britain's long-running soap Coronation Street.
		Jones sang lead vocals on many of the Monkees' biggest hits, and has never gone long without singing them again, making many tours with various incarnations of the band.
		Only years later, in Jones' autobiography, did the truth come out: He had received his draft notice, and immediately gone on a fast, reducing his frame to a scrawny 109 pounds by the date of his induction.

	Book Davy Jones for Event, Meeting, Gala
		A singer, actor and jockey who became a teen idol in the '60s and '70s, David "Davy" Jones' chief claim to fame is his career as a Monkee and his vocal rendition of "Daydream Believer." Jones was born in Manchester, England to a railway fitter and a homemaker.
		Jones has written two autobiographies, They Made a Monkee Out of Me and They Made a Monkee Out of Me...Again!, which recount Jones' days as a Monkee, his family, his marriages and his touring experiences.
		It was not until after his mother's death in 1960 of emphysema that Jones lost his interest in school and left home to become a horse-racing jockey.

	Hull Local Book Review David Bowie: Theatre of Music by Robert Matthew-Walker By Steve Rudd
		For starters, he was born David Robert Jones on January 8th 1947 in Brixton, and came to shorten his name to Davy Jones for some of his earliest releases.
		However, it was felt that it would be better to assume a different stage-name altogether, in the mid-60's, due to the possible confusion that might arise from the fact that there was one of The Monkees called Davy Jones too.
		Although this book was published way back in 1985, it still provides a fascinating insight into David's personal life and his music up to such a point in time, giving a summary of the circumstances around his birth and childhood before naturally progressing onto how he first became interested and thus seriously involved in music-making.

		Buddy Ebsen, the folksy star of television's "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Barnaby Jones" who began his career as a popular Broadway dancer, died July 6 in Los Angeles, the New York Times reported.

		Whatever renown he lost by relinquishing that part, he won it back on television, first as Fess Parker's sidekick on the early adventure show "Davy Crockett." The show was a huge success with kids, who knew the theme song by heart.

		LOS ANGELES -- Buddy Ebsen, the lanky vaudeville and Broadway dancer who gained fame as a Hollywood actor in "The Beverly Hillbillies," "Barnaby Jones" and Disney's "Davy Crockett" movies, died Sunday at Torrance Memorial Medical Center.
		After the team appeared as featured dancers in "Broadway Melody of 1936," Vilma left the act and Ebsen became a "single," co-starring in scores of movie musicals.
		An allergy to aluminum paint cost Ebsen the chance to become one of the most enduring characters in the history of movie musicals in "The Wizard of Oz." He was cast as the Tin Man, but had to leave the project after less than two weeks of filming because the makeup made him sick.
