We might as well call her “The First Lady of the Monkees.” She was part of the magic too. Thank you Lady Coco.
nicely put, Gayle
Mene Johnson was a jewel of a fan club head! She worked tirelessly.
She came from a very loving family..... I experienced that kindness with Micky.... Now that we know what happened with Mike... This was their good-bye and thank you to the fans.... Would love to get in touch with her. I knew she had a part on Midnight Train.... She sounds so nice and lovely...Royal FLUSH???? Wow... never knew that was her on the phone....
Great guest to have in Coco Dolenz. She is definitely part of the "Monkee Family" and so nice to hear her thoughts on a variety of topics.
Can I adopt her for my aunt? Awesome!!! What a dear, down-to-earth, lovely lady! Thank you for conducting such a great and spiritual interview!
I'm so glad these points came through in the show...it was my intent
OMG that was her voice on the Monkees ep? I love it!
Coco will always be the fifth Monkee to me, always there quietly working behind the scenes but equally as important. Her blood harmonies with Micky are so soothing to the ear, and I can hear her backing vocals on many Monkees songs. I love how Micky and Coco are such a brother-sister team. They enter endeavors together and both benefit. Being an only child myself, it's so sweet to see two siblings support each other so much. When I watch the clip of Janelle acting, she's brilliant and I see the same spark that her children have.
JR - just brilliant. Your questions, research and inserted clips make this an excellent production. The history you are preserving is priceless. Thanks so much.
Thank you, Mark...J&M
My very first concert was seeing Micky and Davy at Magic Mountain in CA back in 1977. I remember seeing Coco as a back up singer. I remember she wore a white blouse and purple pants. I still got the pictures from the show. It was a very special moment for me. Thanks for this upload.
The 1976-77 era was a magical time when interest in The Monkees started returning after a terrible lull
Mickey ❣️ so many years seeing the
I 💕 the Monkees they are the greatest I am 68yrs. ,m
Monkees and getting the Lps and 45@@TheMonkeesPadPODCAST for , all
the years you are still going on with.all you can I missed Mike,Peter,Davy RIP .
Saw Mickyand Davy at a rather large club in ‘77 in Fort Lauderdale Florida and I must admit, I was pretty disappointed. They did a lot of Broadway songs, and at the end, a very short Monkees medley. It seemed like they were trying to disAssociate themselves from the very thing that made them pop stars.
Love this Upload, thank you very much for it!
Thank You! ✌️❤️ I fell in love with them when I was about 5 a little before the 1986 reunion . Seems so unreal my favorite is the last one standing . . .
Coco is wonderful lady! Her and Micky's harmony will always blow my mind 🥰
She has an absolute beautiful voice!
Coco is awesome ❤
Great
Have been anxiously awaiting this one-perfect!
This is great. I really wanted to know more about her
.
THANK YOU, Mr. Russo, you've done it again !!
SO appreciate your FASCINATING deep dives into Monkee lore, and as I mentioned before, LOVE even more the fact that you ALWAYS let your guests speak, uninterrupted, without constantly trying to make it about you, rather than them !!
thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU, for ALL your WONDERFUL efforts to bring ALL of this GREAT stuff to us !!!
Oh......and THANK YOU Coco Dolenz !! You too are WONDERFUL, dear......and LOVED finding out that Micky has such a talented, vocally-gifted little sister !!
.
I'm so pleased that is your take-away, which was the intent. As I mentioned in the show, I have been
a tremendous admirer of hers for decades and wanted to provide insight into the the depth of her talent and spirit for others. It should be noted, Michael Pomarico works with me on the assembly of the show. He takes what I give him and makes it all technically presentable, a vital part of each production.

Great, GREAT Stuff !!
Thanks, Again !!
.
Phenomenal love it
Thanks to you both. Jr and Coco awesome show and happy birthday Coco you look amazing and very inspiration to me.
Thanks so much, really enjoyed this interview. Miigwich!
Fine interview. I didn't know much about Coco Dolenz until seeing this. I will certainly take a look at her Etsy page now.
Que linda familia de talentosos!!!
Terrific !
Thank you for sharing this interview with Coco. Such good people you enjoy being with. This is the first time I know of Mickey Dolenz family background . Very nicely done.
A Great Singer in her own right! I saw her with Mickey on the Headquarters tour! Amazing!
Great interview JR. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you !
She has an amazing voice!! Love her
Saw you last night with In Akron at the Goodyear Theater. Thank you Coco for adding the final touches to a great performance. That lead guitar player is also the music director and it’s obvious he has all of you on your A Game .. I was emotionally charged after the performance and I couldn’t get to sleep last night. It was that good!! My daughters took me as a Birthday present.. it’s the best present I’ve gotten in a long time.. thank you and all of you take care of Mickey.. and yourselves!! Love you guys!
You may like to know that I forwarded your comment to Coco, and she is very thankful for your kind words.
@@TheMonkeesPadPODCAST thank you.. I never expected that. Gives me a a warm feeling.
As always, this podcast shines - great guests, great questions, and new insight into this wonderful band and the musicians, songwriters and others who are part of their legacy.
Another fantastic episode. Love the documentary style editing. I'm running out of superlatives to use when commenting on these episodes, they're all so wonderful. :) JR, would love to see you do an interview with Mark Kleiner.
Thank you, Jeff...your encouragement is much appreciated. Mark Kleiner/Monkees Live Almanac is a wonderful repository of information, and we acknowledge them at the end of every episode. Eventually, I hope to make the rounds with folks like Mark too!- JR
I love the show! Thanks so much for doing this. How about trying to get an episode with Alice Cooper to talk about the Hollywood vampires days with Micky Dolenz.
I love your channel, and this interview is great! In addition to your encyclopedic knowledge of all things Monkee, you also put a lot of love & care into the editing of these videos. Thanks so much! I've been a Monkee fan since I first saw them the night that 33 1/3 aired in 1969. I had just turned five! Does Coco sing in the outro to Pleasant Valley Sunday? I can't find info on who that great voice is!
Thank you for your wonderful comments, they are the measure that let's us know we're in touch with our audience and are doing good work. The man-hours involved in crafting each episode is tremendous, but we envision these shows standing as time capsules for the future, so it's worth it to get it right for future generations. I don't believe that's Coco on PVS...likely Bill Chadwick or Micky himself. Please keep watching, and above all, please share! (PS-I'm wondering what impression did the bizarre "33 1/3" special leave on a 5 year old girl in 1969?-JR
@@TheMonkeesPadPODCAST The impression that show had on me was everlasting. It's the reason I'm a musician now! :)
@@AnnieJohnsonRock A topic Coco and I discuss on the show; the extraordinary influence The Monkees have had on generations of young people to explore careers as musicians and performers.
Wonderful channel thanks !
I mever realised that was Coco in The Golden Great Hits... video. I think I am right in saying that until Good Times! in 2016, Coco was the only non Monkee to sing lead vocals on a Monkees song. Coco sings lead vocal on the first verse of Shorty Blackwell.
I would question that it's Coco and not Micky on the first verse of "Shorty Blackwell", though their voices can sound very similar-almost interchangeable
@@TheMonkeesPadPODCAST I could have sworn I read somewhere that it was Coco on the first verse. I was so surprised that it stuck in my mind. But having just checked the booklet with the Instant Replay Deluxe boxset it lists Coco as Lead harmony and backing vocals so I think you are right and it is Micky not Coco.
I can see how you could think that, too. Their voices match so well. I love to hear them both on their collaborations, especially this song.
Thank you Coco . You are very intelligent and I love your philosophy.
Doin another monkees deep dive since i just saw micky last night unfortunately did not get to meet him bc the rude staff at the casino but hopefully he will come back up here he put on a great show.. 😊
The first time I saw Coco was in 1976 ? with Mickey and Davey at Flanagan's in Knoxville TN.
Às respostas deveriam ser em português ( Brasil), prá às pessoas que não sabem inglês
I think she is referring to GOD the creator of all at the end there :)
