Davy Jones: In Memory 'I Wanna Be Free'

Tribute to Davy Jones of the Monkees. Davy's face was taped to my walls throughout junior high... kinda felt like we 'grew up together'. This slideshow contains a few of my favorite pics. RIP Mr. Jones. You are indeed, free now.

He was my very first crush, my first poster and the Monkees were my first album i purchased with my own money. He was such a gentle soul.

It's sad that there aren't any TV shows today like the Monkees and the Partridge Family with stars who we had crushes on in the 70's. This generation missed out on so much.

Still a beautiful song after all these years. It is a forgotten treasure that has become buried by time but luckily You Tube keeps music alive

One of the quieter songs that didn't get as much attention as the 'hits' but a great song. Davy was great. Miss the band and the

This is such a beautiful song, yet so sad at the same time. It's still so hard to believe he's gone. My very first teen idol, love you davy and will forever listen to all that great music you left us.

Had the pleasure of working in Davy's house many years ago for two days. The second day he greeted us first thing with bacon sandwiches and coffee before we started. Such a nice down to earth guy.

Now you're free, Davy... and we miss you...

After 4 yrs. since Davy's passing... it still brings me to tears. My sister and I were devoted and loyal Monkee fans to this day. It will never be the same without him. Miss you Davy. Rest well.

This is the song that can make anyone cry. Beautiful song that should be cherished for all time.

Summer days and school is out. We had no cell phones, no cable, no facebook, we just had each other . I don't know what's better. Maybe being human is best?

[chainamarie]

Davy Jones, David Cassidy, Tom Petty....all gone way, way too soon. I was a huge fan of theirs .

[pameladavenport]

He was so handsome as a young man and he got better with age.❤️❤️❤️

And you don't think these guys should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I do!

I had a glass top on my desk when I was in 8th grade. Beneath the glass were four centerfold photos of Davy from fan magazines, which I stared at and dreamed of for the next few years until I was forced, by time, to grow up. I got to meet him just before graduating high school...what a blessed memory. Yes, he is free. And still missed after 9 1/2 years.

Davy, Peter is on his way to see you and I hope you two can make great music wherever you are. Loved you both and thank you both for the music and wonderful childhood memories. R.I.P. Davy and Peter.
