组长&答疑：西碧儿的琴Looking back, it's easy to say that The Monkees' songs would be successful. After all, they had a weekly television program and millions of devoted fans. But in reality, The Monkees sold millions and millions of records because they released good songs by great writers and recorded them with some of the L.A.'s top studio musicians. Within a year of their debut single, The Monkees have released four albums, all of which hit number one and continue to sell well today.
Though The Monkees broke up soon after their television show ended, the ensuing years brought a number of reunion shows in tours. Last year, Davy, Micky and Peter briefly toured the U.S. and Britain before mysteriously canceling their tour.
In his post-Monkees life, Davy Jones was an actor and also a keen horseman and racehorse owner. He continued to tour as a solo artist as well. His last performance was in New York City, just 11 days before his death of an apparent heart attack at his home in Florida. Davy Jones was 66 years old when he died. But thanks to television and hit singles, he'll be forever remembered as a cute 21-year-old pop star.回首往昔，我们可以很容易地说门基的歌曲很成功。毕竟，他们有每周一次的电视节目以及数以百万计的忠实歌迷。但是事实上，门基售出了几十亿万的唱片是因为有非常棒的词作曲家为他们写优秀歌曲，并且洛杉矶的顶尖工作室的音乐家们为他们录歌。在他们推出首张专辑的那年，他们总共发表了4张专辑，这个记录冲击了销售记录的榜首，并且至今十分畅销。
虽然门基乐队在他们的电视节目停不久后就解散了，但是随后几年，他们在巡回演出会有重聚秀。去年，戴维，米奇，皮得在美国和英国举办了简单的演唱会后，秘密取消他们的巡演。
戴维·琼斯在他的后门基生活中还是一名演员，并且也是敏捷的骑手和赛马手。他以独唱艺术家的身份继续巡演。他的最后一场演出是在纽约市，那天离他突发心脏病，在他福罗里达州的家里猝死只有十一天。戴维琼斯享年66岁。因为他的电视节目和单曲，在人们心里，永远会记得他——一个21岁的可爱的歌星。
