I was one of Fagin's boy pickpockets in the Broadway cast of "Oliver!" where Davy played The Artful Dodger. On occasion I would play The Artful Dodger if Davy had to miss a performance. Davy and I kept in touch through the years and I spoke with him on the phone just a week before his death.
Another of the boy pickpockets in the Broadway "Oliver!" was Alan Paul who went on to be one of the jazz vocal group The Manhattan Transfer

Thanks for sharing this. I was very fortunate to have met him twice. The last was at a Hollywood Show in February 2012. I had the chance to hug him, talk to him, get an autograph and my picture taken with him. A very nice and multi talented man. I had no idea that in just three short weeks after that, he would be gone. I will always be grateful I was able to be there that day to see him.

Davy Jones was my favorite monkee! I am still a huge fan of his since the 1960s. So sad that he died so young. He was a great actor and singer!!

A close friend whom I graduated high school with was road manager for the Monkees. They did a concert in our city and, because the hotel they were staying in was besieged by fans, David called me and asked if they could come out and spend some time with my family. I said yes, of course. I went down to the hotel and met them in the back of the hotel and we drove out to my parents home where my mother cooked them supper. It was a fun several hours. Believe-it-or-not, we watched an episode of "Twilight Zone" and "Gunsmoke." They had a relaxing night and put on a great show the next night.

The nightly news was on TV. I was on my computer in another room when I heard the news that Davy had died. I ran to the living room and sat there in disbelief. Then I cried. How could this beautiful human be dead!? I was only 11 years younger than Davy. I've now become older than he was. How could this gentle soul be gone?

[melissacooper]

I remember when Davy died I cried myself to sleep the first week. I even cried while watching him on The Brady Bunch. It was then that I realized what a beautiful voice he had! RIP Davy!
