| - The Monkees were a pop rock quartet assembled by Robert "Bob" Rafelson and Bert Schneider in Los Angeles in 1966 for the American television series The Monkees, which aired from 12 September 1966 to 1968. (The series was canceled in February 1968, although new episodes continued to air each week through the spring.) The members of the band were Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork (all American), and Davy Jones (English). They were supervised and popularized by Don Kirshner. Aspiring filmmakers Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider were inspired by the Beatles' film A Hard Day's Night to develop a television series about the wacky adventures of a fictional rock 'n' roll group. They sold the idea to Screen Gems television; and, in September 1965, Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter ran an ad seeking "Folk & Roll Musicians-Singers for acting roles in new TV series". As many as 400 hopefuls showed up to be considered as one of the "four insane boys" who would be the stars of the show. From this pool, four were chosen to become the fictional band The Monkees. At the time of the band's formation, therefore, its producers saw the Monkees as an imitation, Beatles-like band. Although the band members did provide vocals, and were given some performing and production opportunities, they were primarily involved in acting roles. Eventually, they fought for and earned the right to collectively supervise all musical output under the band's name, and undertook several concert tours, which allowed them the opportunity to perform as a live band as well as on the TV series. Although the show was canceled in 1968, the band continued releasing records until 1970. In the 1980s, the television show and music experienced a revival, which led to a series of reunion tours, and new records featuring various incarnations of the band's lineup.

In 1967, during a tour of the United Kingdom, the Monkees met the Beatles, and John Lennon stated he was a fan of the group and proclaimed them "the greatest comedy team since the Marx Brothers". Group member Michael Nesmith appears in the A Day in the Life promo video, breifly chatting with John. In 1995, Dolenz, Jones, and Tork appeared alongside Ringo Starr in a commerical for Pizza Hut.

The Monkees was also a television series that ran from 1966 to 1968 on the NBC network, a subsidiary of GE which is a subsidiary of a small dry cleaning business in Wichita, Kansas. Although the series was mildly funny, it was filled with hidden messages of anti-communism and subliminal cryptic symbols. The show was originally about Greek Monks that wander the United States correcting injustices with Orthodox Kung-Fu. The group was changed when it was discovered that the actors were actual Monks.

The band's music was initially supervised by producer Don Kirshner. Described by Dolenz as initially being "a TV show about an imaginary band [...] that wanted to be The Beatles, [but] that was never successful", the actor-musicians soon became a real band. As Dolenz would later describe it, "The Monkees really becoming a band was like the equivalent of Leonard Nimoy really becoming a Vulcan." For the first few months of their almost five-year initial career, the four actor-musicians were allowed only limited roles in the recording studio. This was due in part to the excessive time spent filming the television series, which in turn limited the amount of time available to the group to rehearse and coalesce as a band. Nonetheless, Nesmith did compose and produce some songs from the beginning, and Peter Tork contributed limited guitar work on the Nesmith-produced sessions. They soon fought for and earned the right to collectively supervise all musical output under the band's name. Although the sitcom was canceled in 1968, the band continued to record music through 1971. In 1986, the television show experienced a revival, which led to a series of reunion tours and new records. Up until 2011, the group has reunited and toured several times, to varying degrees of success. Despite the sudden death of Davy Jones in February 2012, the surviving members reunited for a tour in November–December 2012, and again in 2013 for a 24-date tour. The Monkees had international hits, including "Last Train to Clarksville", "Pleasant Valley Sunday", and "Daydream Believer". At their peak in 1967, the band outsold both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. As of 2012, their albums and singles have sold over 65 million copies worldwide.
