As for playing their own instruments? Neither did The Byrds, The Beach Boys, The Grassroots and on and on. The Monkee's I'm a Believer sold 5 million 45rpm singles. Radio stations were playing it up to 4 times an hours and still flooded with calls. Coy from Palestine, TexasWhat's strange is that Neil Diamond has stated he has never met any of the Monkees! Neil said "I would like to meet them, just never did".ĭolenz's vocals on this song are perfection-he had a great voice and immediately caught the rhythm and tonal quality needed to make this a teen classic.it came out just as I was learning to roller skate, and it was a great skating song.

Seventhmist from 7th HeavenAs great as this song is, Neil Diamond's early rendition of his own song is even better.will take Hal's word for it, although Roger played with them on the recording there is sill a big argument about that first LP having read Hal Blaines book and the book about the Wrecking Crew, he states that they played on every track for that LP but others have argued that the Byrds did a few of the songs on it themselves. The Byrds did their own music after the first LP. and even then quiet often Carl would play along and the Beatles did their own stuff until about Sgt Pepper on then they would only invite certain musicians in to help with some songs. Jennifur SunCoy from Texas you are wrong about the Beach Boys Brian did supplement some of their song as they got more popular and were touring like mad with members of the Wrecking Crew, but the Crew really didn''t take over persay untill about 65 as i remember from an article i recently read.Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind Publisher: Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Universal Music Publishing Group, Warner Chappell Music, Inc.
