Happy Birthday: Peter Tork

Today marks the birthday of one Peter Halsten Thorkelson – better known to most folks as Peter Tork – and, unlike a couple of his bandmates, he doesn’t have to share it with another Monkee. (In case you didn’t realize it, Michael Nesmith and Davy Jones both entered the world on December 30, albeit in different years.)

In addition to offering up the official Monkees playlist for your listening enjoyment, we thought we’d also celebrate Mr. Tork’s special day by offering up a few videos that spotlight his solo endeavors over the years. (He’s more than just a Monkee, you know…)

1. “Stranger Things Have Happened” (1994)

2. “Miracle” (1994)

3. “Easy Rider” (2001)

4. “I Know Love” (2007)
