The Monkees were an American pop rock band formed in Los Angeles in the mid-1960s. The band consisted of Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork. Spurred by the success of the television show of the same name, the Monkees were one of the most successful bands of the 1960s. With international hits, four chart-topping albums and three chart-topping songs (“Last Train to Clarksville”, “I’m a Believer”, and “Daydream Believer”), the band sold more than 75 million records worldwide.
The Birds, the Bees & the Monkees is the fifth studio album by the Monkees, and their first album released after the cancellation of their TV show. Released in April 1968, it was the first Monkees album not to reach Billboard‘s number one, peaking at No. 3 on the U.S. charts. It was also their first album to miss the UK charts altogether, with their four previous efforts all having reached the top ten. The album has sold over a million copies.
