  1. These recordings got Harry Nilsson a start on songwriter, but prior to this his first shot at writing for a 'commercial' musical act was for the Monkees.

    Coincidentally, John Guerin was some Monkees material. Even though its all now released, none of them were originally released in the late 60s when the Monkees were in there heyday. If you'd like info on the Monkees stuff with John Guerin I'd be glad to help.
