Davy Jones (30 December 1945 – 29 February 2012) was an English actor and singer, best known as a member of The Monkees.
I’m a…. Believer
Despite his initial high-profile after the Monkees disbanded, Jones struggled to establish himself as a solo music artist. – Wikipedia
The Monkees, of course, were synthetic,
And appealed to a period aesthetic,
But a career with the band
Was a career built on sand. —
And we are, Davy Jones, sympathetic.

William Croft (bapt. 30 December 1678 – 14 August 1727) was an English composer and organist.
Hope in Years to Come
In certain august choir lofts
The strains you hear are William Croft’s,
But even in a humble venue
You’ll find his music playing when you
Sing, beneath the organ’s blast,
“O God, Our Help in Ages Past.”
