Davy Jones Trivia

Vis-a-vis a caller on the Mike Francesa show I just learned this:

When he appeared on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' with the Beatles in 1964, Davy Jones had no idea he was staring at his future.

On the show, he performed a song from 'Oliver!' the Broadway show he was acting in at the time. But two years later, he'd be cast in 'The Monkees,' a TV show about a band similar to the Beatles and inspired by the Fab Four movie 'A Hard Day's Night.'
