Can we baptize Davy Jones as a Beatle?

1. No. Just Mormon.

2. Beatle? No! Mormon cricket? Maybe!

3. When I was a child we actually compared the Beatles to the Monkees

and the Beach Boys and the Rolling Stones... as if these groups were comparable. Like I said, I was a child. Davy Jones was the only one I got to see on TV once a week.

6. The Beatles were blown away by

"Good Vibrations" IIRC.....

Changed their whole approach to recording from what I read.

FWIW....

I hated the beach boys.

YMMV

7. Carol Kaye

...played bass on good vibrations, and I believe the song was written about her. She started out as a music teacher and then played in be bop and jazz bands with the finest of the fine in LA 50s-60s. Her musical talent is beyond compare.

9. You are EXACTLY right

Perhaps the most accomplished electric bass player in history.

No mention of her anywhere. Except here.

5. He died on a leap year and that makes him special

I say yes but he only gets Pete Best Beatle status.

8. He'll be dead fewer years than everyone else! Nt
