Michael Nesmith

Michael Nesmith wrote this song before he joined The Monkees. It was first recorded by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band on their East-West album on Elektra in 1966. In Glenn Baker’s Monkeemania book, it states that the president of Elektra actually caught some flap once the Monkees’ version came out because people couldn’t believe that a Monkee actually wrote it. This is The Monkees with “Mary Mary” from 1967 album More of the Monkees.......#themonkees #marymary #moreofthemonkees #60s #60smusic #
