The Monkees, a successful musical group put together in 1966, was unique at the time due to the fact that they were assembled specifically to star in a series by the same name. The show ran from 1966 to 1968, though the group sold records long after that and continued to regularly tour together well into 1970. In the 1980s, the show was rerun and a new group of fans allowed them to tour again in a series of reunion concerts. The members were Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Nichael Nesmith, and Peter Tork.
