Not only was Mike Smith the voice of the DC5 but he was the songwriter as well. He was also a good keyboard 🎹 player as well. Even though the DC5 had broken up he did his best to keep the group’s music 🎼 alive. Trying to keep their music 🎶 alive would later cost him his life. Dave Clark had all the band members under contract but, if it wasn’t for Mike Smith the band wouldn’t be nothing without him. Mike Smith was a good songwriter and it’s sad he’s not around anymore. If it were possible this is the band they need to bring back. Fellas, the world 🌎 needs to hear 👂 your music.🎵

Anyone knows the names of the other fellas in the crew? Thanks!

Mike Smith: legend

This band would not have been the same without Mike Smith. Truly awesome! Karl

My goodness that song brings back memories of my childhood.

Great to hear the composer.

Dave Clark absolutely deserves immense credit for propelling his band to the forefront leadership of the British Invasion of America! The Dave Clark Five and The Beatles were the 2 giant bands the led the British Invasion. The Rolling Stones, Herman's Hermit's, The Who, The Animals, Searchers, and so forth, all trailed the Beatles & The DC5. Also, there's a certain Mr Ryan who had legally relinquished his writing credits via a deal with Dave Clark. Ryan made the deal with Mr Clark. However it seems in the last few years that Ryan has endlessly complained, whined and cried to anyone and everyone that he is not credited with songs he purportedly wrote but are credited to Dave Clark. Mr Clark has the legal right to claim writing credits to the songs. Ryan seems to want to involve himself into the Dave Clark Five legacy. Fans of the many Dave Clark Five fan groups throughout the internet are quite tired and bored of hearing Mr Ryan's whining and crying over any deal he made with Mr Clark.

At 83 I still enjoy these gentlemen. Look forward to heaven to hear them ahain. Imc

MIKE was such a super vocalist,so underated,it was extremely sad what happened to him,i still cry and misd hid voice and personality.

💜🎶

I always loved Fess Parker. His acting style reminds me of Clint Walker.

Wow! Love this song by Micheal.

That was so awesome! I loved singing the soprano part in HS chorus! Beautiful!

I heard most of their songs on 78 records I love them. Harmony nothing like it!

Mike Smith WAS Dave Clark Five.

RIP Mike

how a random song in Mr. Robot led me down a Rabbit hole:

Wonderful performance great song long time fan…RIP Michael

Name all players here please

Mike Smith was awesome and had a fantastic voice. He was vastly underrated. I love the way he growled all the time when they sang.

My dad introduced me to the Davey Crockett movies.❤❤❤❤

Mike Smith should have teamed up with Paul McCartney at the time when the Beatles broke up.

Fess Parker was iconic for my generation , the Baby Boomers . In an interview long after he retired , Fess said that when he meets a Baby Boomer for the first time he knows exactly what is going to come out before they say it . I think he genuinely liked us . My guess is that what is going to come out is “ I grew up with you ! “

I always share this to people who only know of Maggie, Terre and Suzzy from Tiny Toon Adventures. Then they become converts. ;)

The Roches have the BEST Christmas album (We Three Kings). So quirky and talented.

My GORGEOUS MULTI TALENTED BROTHER is gone 5yrs in one week & is still so fresh & UNBELIEVABLE to me We lost our precious Mama 10 days later from a broken heart 💔 😓 I know they're together with Daddy & Mary Ellen-my only comfort 🤗 I MISS YOU SO MUCH PIKEM MAMA DADDY & MARY & LOVE YOU BEYOND SPACE & TIME ❤️ 💜✌️

Hallelujah hallelujah lalalalalalalala la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la good morning David just farted on get pardoned it's important I'm going to fart on you I want to fart on you I'm going to fart on you I want to fart on you I want to fart on you you s********

Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah you suck dude

yeah.

What's the name of the band and song?

I’m so glad they showed reruns of these shows on Disney channel when I was growing up.

This is SO GOOD, it literally brings tears to my eyes - thank you so much for posting! - I hope more folks view it as we approach Dionne being recognized as a Kennedy Center Awardee for 2023! :-)

I am so glad Dave Clark managed the DC5 Exclusively. He took care of his band and didn't let the blood sucking vultures take advantage of his buddies. I wish other bands would have told these managers to get lost early on...but sometimes business is not everyone's forte. Anyway, all of the DC5 REALLY WERE GREAT! 17 times (I think) on The Ed Sullivan show. Come on...that's more than Elvis or the Beatles! That time will never be repeated. Thanks Mike for being such a great vocalist with an awesome personality as well. We miss you and all the rest too. You truly were the best! 😋

Lol Davey was Killed by the Mexican troops who came back to claim the Alamo. 😅

Chicago closed circuit appearance can’t remember the name of the show. He wrote & recorded this on his Epic Records Album “Smotherman” Dony Wynn: drums Kenny Gradney: bass Steve Crossley: guitar Hurricane Jake Fitzgerald: harp

He lost his sight from Diabetes but never lost his voice. What a singer, and even Dean Martin said 'he's my favourite' and that's some compliment from all those talents that were around in that era. There all gone now, God bless them all❤

Mills brothers, they were the best harmony in the world. Fantastic! Imagine what they had the racism, that was that was all around them. Like Nat King Cole. But they kept on singing. America, please don't vote for Trump. He never heard of these guys and dont care. Check into Meidas and learn the truth.

Local band from Bergenfield, NJ. Used to play Palisades Amusement Park circa 1965.

RIP toots .. brilliant, my bud

Stunning

Mike Smith was THE SOUL of the group

Un-be-lievable.

Sensacional 👏👏👏

Wow they not only could sing and harmonize well, but they were their own orchestra to!! The Mill's Brothers were so very talented.

Loved Davy Crockett as a kid in the Fifties. Then as an adult I learned why Davy Crockett fought and died at the Alamo. White Texans had to break away from Mexico if they wanted to be allowed to own black Texans. Mexico outlawed slavery well before Lincoln.

Classic and epic talent!

I'm very fascinated by Fess Parker's guitar. Never saw a guitar shaped like that. Anyone know who made that?

Unbelievable talent
