ASHLAND, Ky. (WSAZ) -- He doesn't Monkey around, and Friday night Micky Dolenz was all business as he wowed the crowd at Ashalnd's Summer Motion.

"It's hard to beat this, you know," Dolenz said. "It's just pretty cool to do rock 'n roll. I mean, people show up and they know all the songs."

Dolenz spent years as a member of the Monkees and then made music on his own.

He says the fans want to hear the classics.

"I really stick to the original versions of the songs, and I do them in their entirety, and I don't mess about," he said. "I think it's really important for an audience that comes to something like this. They wanna hear those songs written by Carole King that I sang, and Neil Diamond and all these great song writers that I had."

Dolenz says he might do another Broadway Show in the near future.
