Davy Jones was a Canadian soul singer born in Montreal on May 4, 1944, who got his break on the British music scene in the early 60s. His biggest hit was "Amapola", a rocked-up version of a popular jazz standard from the late 1930s. While he never became a huge star, he had a minor following that led him to play packed dates at concert halls around the UK, including some dates in Liverpool in 1961, he was backed by The Beatles.
Some black and white photographs of him with the Fab Four in the background seem to be the only pictures of him that exist. Beyond that one commercial success, Fontana Germany released an album, "Rockin' Twist Show "Live" At The Star-Palast, Kiel", in 1965, "Live At The Lucky Star" was released in Holland in 1967, "Sookie Sookie" was released by Philips in 1968 as Davy Jones And The Voodoo Funk Machine, recorded when he lived in France and worked with Janko Nilovic, and he had a few minor soul hits in Holland in 1969, including his cover of Bob Dylan's "Most Likely You Go Your Way and I’ll Go Mine".
