The Monkees
The Monkees
View groupIn 1965, over 400 people responded to an ad seeking young men for a new television show about a rock group called The Monkees. The Monkees, starring Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork premiered on September 12, 1966, and audiences adored the humorous antics of the band. Though made for TV, The Monkees had real-life hits and struggled against their "Pre-Fab Four" image. Some of their best-loved and number one hits included Neil Diamond's "I'm a Believer" and "Last Train to Clarksville." More successful singles followed, including another Neil Diamond song, "Little Bit Me, Little Bit You," Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "Pleasant Valley Sunday", and "Daydream Believer" by John Stewart of the Kingston Trio.

Women Who Rock
Women Who Rock
View groupStarting in the early 1920s, American women began establishing political and social equality and the female musicians across the nation also started holding their own. These women and subsequent generations to follow cleared a path for modern-day female artists. Their achievements proved that ladies no longer have to follow, or even match, their male counterparts. Instead, women can forge a new trail all their own.
