The Man Behind The Monkee

The average person has never heard of Moog Synthesizers. But, they revolutionized the music industry in the late ’60s. Moog Music pioneered the production of commercial synthesizers, which led to a whole new sound in music.

Monkee member Micky Dolenz was one of the first musicians to purchase a Moog and experiment with the new technology. He bought the third one ever sold!

Time Life is excited to be collaborating with Micky on an upcoming infomercial about the incredible music of the ’60s (Coming 2012, stay tuned!). During the filming of this new show, he sat down and chatted with our producers about some of his favorite memories – including his excitement at owning one of the first synthesizer!
