Coury's last signing to Capitol Records was the group Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart, made up of former Monkees Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones, and songwriters Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, who'd written several Monkees hits.
"Daily Nightly" is a song by Michael Nesmith of The Monkees, which appeared on their fourth album, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd., in 1967, and was featured in two second-season episodes of their television series, "A Fairy Tale" and "Monkees Blow Their Minds".
In 1968, Nesmith released "The Wichita Train Whistle Sings" as a side-project from the Monkees and, due to continued frustration, in 1970 he bought himself out of his Monkees contract altogether.
Her television credits include Showtime at the Stadium for the BBC, The Monkees music video for MTV, Disney MGM Studio's Opening Special, Disney's Macey's Parade and Agony for UK Living; Film credits include De-Lovely (2004) starring Ashley Judd and Kevin Kline.
Years after the Monkees and the First National Band, London served as key grip on several different productions, including 48 Hrs., Who Will Love My Children?, The Karate Kid, Long Time Gone, and Hudson Hawk.

When Nesmith was cast in The Monkees, he recruited London as his stand-in on the set, and when the originally-fictitious band began playing on their own recordings, London sometimes served as bassist, allowing Peter Tork to play keyboards, banjo, or another instrument.
The album features a rare occasion of Nesmith (as a solo artist) singing a Monkees song, Papa Gene's Blues (originally from the album The Monkees).
The album cover showed a still of the Monkees (with Peter Tork playing a banjo), from the television episode "It's A Nice Place To Visit".
Unfortunately there was a falling-out between the two sides, with only Peter Tork showing up for the first day of filming, and by the time the completed movie was ready for release, the television series had been cancelled (after two seasons and two Emmy Awards), and the Monkees phenomenon appeared to be winding down.
The promotional video, which aired during the 26 September 1966 "Monkee vs. Machine" television show, features The Monkees playing around on the beach and having fun with five children (at any one time), in a dune buggy, on a swing set, on slides, on a jungle gym, on a horse, on unicycles, and on Honda Super Cub motorcycles, and hamming it up driving the Monkeemobile around Southern California.
The Monkees's version of the song was one of the first pop records to include a Moog synthesizer, played and programmed by synthesist Paul Beaver.
The film was one of several collaborations between Jack Nicholson and Bob Rafelson, which included the cult 1968 Monkees film Head and Five Easy Pieces (1970), which established both men as major figures in Hollywood.
