Peter Tork Dies: The Monkees' Affable Bassist Was 77

Peter Tork, the affable, moptopped bassist for
The Monkees who starred in their mid-'60s TV show and toured the world with the group, died today.. He was 77. His sister Anne Thorkelson confirmed the news but did not provide details. Tork had been diagnosed with throat cancer a decade ago.
The Monkees were the made-for-American-TV group that attacked video and audio airwaves in 1966 at the height of Beatlemania. The NBC series aired only two seasons but won the 1967 Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series and also launched the group to radio stardom. Their first hit was "Last Train to Clarksville," which started a run of five consecutive Top 3 singles stateside. The song also was the first of three chart-toppers followed by "I'm a Believer" — which also hit No. 1 in the UK — and "Daydream Believer."
Born Peter Thorkelson on February 13, 1942, in Washington, D.C., Tork became immersed in the early '60s Greenwich Village folk scene. There he befriended Stephen Stills, who had tried out for a new TV show about a ficticious pop band but didn't get the gig. The future Rock and Roll Hall of Famer suggested Tork to producers, and The Monkees had it bassist.
