1. – Peter Tork, The Monkees, TV, 1966-68. The Texan singer took part in the Pre-Fab Four auditions and (a) the producers felt he looked too old, what with his hair (and teeth) falling out and (b) Sills was not about to giving publishing rights of his songs to Columbia Pictures. “I know who ya need…” and he recommended a pal (and ex-roommate) who looked rather like him – except for the disappearing hair. And he could walk the walk and talk the Tork.
