About Micky Dolenz

George Michael Dolenz Jr. is an American musician, rock singer, and comic actor from childhood. He was one of two primary vocalists for musical producer Don Kirshner's prefabricated Beatles-style pop rock band the Monkees, and a co-star of the Emmy-winning TV sitcom The Monkees (1966–1968). Dolenz is the last surviving member of the group, following the deaths of Davy Jones, Peter Tork, and Michael Nesmith.
