Davy Jones.

[Rev. Rye]

I can almost guarantee that he'll be remembered more fondly than Whitney Houston and won't get even a tenth of the media coverage she got.

That's because he was a has-been by media standards instead of an overblown pop star with a drug habit.

And it's a damn shame, too. Here's a video of Whitney Houston singing "And I will Always Love You" at one of her last concerts:

She can't really sing for long periods of time, and pauses frequently.

Now contrast this with a video of one of Davy Jones' last performances of "Daydream Believer."

He may not necessarily sound like he did in 1968, but he's still capable of putting on a show.
