”Last train to Clarksville” and ”I’m not your steppin’ stone” are some of the songs that Bobby Hart and Tommy Boyce wrote for The Monkees, who were one of the biggest bands in the late 1960s.
”I thank them not just for writing many of our biggest hits, as producers they contributed to the highest degree to create the unique Monkee sound that everyone knows and loves”, wrote The Monkees' Micky Dolenz in the foreword to Hart's memoirs from 2015, cited by ABC News.
”Boyce and Hart”, as they became known, wrote, among many other things, also the theme song to the American long-runner ”Our best years” (”Days of our lives”).
According to ABC News, Bobby Hart passed away in his home in Los Angeles. He became 86 years old.
