Dolenz shared a heartfelt tribute on social media alongside a photo of Sedaka, reflecting on both his immense solo success and his lesser-known contributions to The Monkees’catalog, particularly his connection to the late Davy Jones, who died 14 years ago almost the day, February 29, 2012.

Dolenz also recalled a deeply personal moment.
Sedaka, who rose to fame in the early 1960s with No. 1 hits including “Oh! Carol,” “Calendar Girl,” and “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do,” later experienced a major resurgence in the 1970s with songs like “Laughter in the Rain” and “Bad Blood.”
While best known for his own chart-topping recordings, Sedaka also made quiet but meaningful contributions to the extended Monkees universe. His songwriting collaboration with Bayer Sager connected him directly to the band’s musical legacy, and his tribute performance at Davy Jones’ memorial left a lasting impression.
“He blessed this world with beauty…his legacy is assured,” one person wrote.
