Jeffrey Lynne (born 30 December 1947) is an English songwriter, composer, arranger, singer, multi-instrumentalist and record producer who gained fame in the 1970s as the lead singer and sole constant member of Electric Light Orchestra.
 In 1988, under the pseudonyms Otis Wilbury and Clayton Wilbury, he co-founded the supergroup Traveling Wilburys with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty.
Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart is an album by the group of the same name, released in 1976.
 The group consisted of Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart.
 Dolenz and Jones had been members of 1960s pop group/band The Monkees while Boyce and Hart had written many of the group's biggest hits such as "Last Train to Clarksville" and "(Theme from) The Monkees".
 As such, several publications, such as Allmusic, consider the album to be a Monkees-reunion album.
 Most of the musicians that appear on this album were featured on Monkees albums in the past.
 A majority of the vocals are done by Dolenz and Jones ("Right Now", "I Remember The Feeling", "You And I") with Boyce And Hart contributing backing vocals and the occasional lead vocal such as Hart's on "I Love You [And I'm Glad That I Said It]".
 Although the album failed to make much of an impact when originally released, renewal of interest in The Monkees led to its reissue on compact disc years later.
 The group was called Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart because they were legally prohibited from using The Monkees name.
 Former Monkees members Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork were also invited to join the group, but they both declined.
 Peter Tork joined 'Dolenz, Jones, Boyce, & Hart' onstage for a guest appearance on their concert tour on July 4, 1976 in Disneyland.
 Later that year he reunited with Jones and Dolenz in the studio for the recording of the single "Christmas is My Time of the Year" b/w "White Christmas", which saw a limited release for fan club members that holiday season.

"I'm a Believer" is a song composed by Neil Diamond and recorded by The Monkees in 1966 with the lead vocals by Micky Dolenz.
 The single, produced by Jeff Barry, hit the number one spot on the U.S. "Billboard" Hot 100 chart for the week ending December 31, 1966 and remained there for seven weeks, becoming the last No. 1 hit of 1966 and the biggest-selling record for all of 1967.
 "Billboard" ranked the record as the No. 5 song for 1967.
 Because of 1,051,280 advance orders, it went gold within two days of release.
 It is one of the fewer than forty all-time singles to have sold 10 million (or more) physical copies worldwide.
"Randy Scouse Git" is a song written by Micky Dolenz in 1967 and recorded by The Monkees.
 It was the first song written by Dolenz to be commercially released, and became a #2 hit in the UK where it was retitled "Alternate Title" after the record company (RCA) complained that the original title was actually somewhat "taboo to the British audience".
 Dolenz took the song's title from a phrase he had heard spoken on an episode of the British television series "Till Death Us Do Part", which he had watched while in England.
 The song also appeared on "The Monkees" TV series, on their album "Headquarters," and on several "Greatest Hits" albums.
 Peter Tork has said that it is one of his favorite Monkees tracks.
Tear Drop City is a single by The Monkees released on February 8, 1969 on Colgems #5000 recorded on October 26, 1966.
 The song reached No. 56 on the Billboard chart.
 The lyrics are about a man who feels low because his girlfriend has left him.
 Written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, it was the first single The Monkees released as a trio (Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, and Davy Jones; Peter Tork departed December 1968).
 Micky Dolenz performed the lead vocal.
 Boyce and Hart produced and arranged the song.
"Oh My My" is a song by The Monkees, released on April 1, 1970 on Colgems single #5011.
 It was the final single released during their original 1966-70 run.
 The song was written by Jeff Barry and Andy Kim and recorded February 5, 1970.
 It made it to #98 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart, their last entry until 1986.
 The B-side was "I Love You Better", also written by Barry and Kim.
 By now, The Monkees were a duo consisting of Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones, and both sides of the single were sung by Dolenz.
 Both songs are from "Changes", The Monkees' final studio album until 1987's "Pool It!
" which was followed by "Good Times" in 2016.
