I grew up on watching that show. Low rent Beatles, but very funny.

Rest In Peace.

I think David Bowie is actually named Davy Jones as well

[Wojo 2,458]

Correct. David Robert Jones was born on 8 January 1947.

"Dissatisfied with his stage name as Davy (and Davie) Jones, which in the mid-1960s invited confusion with Davy Jones of The Monkees, Bowie re-named himself after the 19th century American frontiersman Jim Bowie and the knife he had popularized."
