Peter Tork, bass player of the made for TV band, the Monkees has passed.

Quote : Peter Tork, a blues and folk musician who became a teeny-bopper sensation as a member of the Monkees, the wisecracking, made-for-TV pop group that imitated and briefly outsold the Beatles, died Feb. 21. He was 77. His death was confirmed by his sister Anne Thorkelson, who did not say where or how he died. Tork was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare cancer affecting his tongue, in 2009.

A lot of the Monkees earlier material was written by such notable song writers as songwriters that included Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Neil Diamond, David Gates, Neil Sedaka and Jeff Barry. Drummer Micky Dolenz is one of those rare individuals who could sing and play drums. Phil Collins and Don Henley of the Eagles are others.

In my opinion, Peter tork sounded a lot like Ringo Starr and the Monkees were in my opinion, underrated. . Peter tork sang an off beat / psychedelic song, " Auntie Grizelda."

One of my favorites from the monkees.

Rest in peace Peter and thanks for the great music.
