The Monkees had finally taken control of their career and were creating and producing there own music. Unfortunately their television show was nearing its end and would be canceled after the 59th episode. Over the next 50 years they would re-unite in various combinations and then drift apart again.
The band’s popularity rivaled that of the Beatles for two years and they would leave behind a musical legacy of a number of pleasant pop tunes.
“Daydream Believer” was their last number one song. It reached the top of the charts on December 2, 1967, and there it remained for four weeks.
