Mike Nesmith in his early career wrote the song "Different Drum" which was recorded and made popular by Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys. He also wrote "Pretty Little Princess" in 1965, which was recorded by Frankie Laine and released as a single in 1968 on ABC Records.
Once he was cast as one of The Monkees, Screen Gems bought his songs so they could be used in the show. Many of the songs Nesmith wrote for The Monkees, such as "The Girl I Knew Somewhere", "Mary, Mary" (earlier recorded by Paul Butterfield Blue Band), and "Listen to the Band" became minor hits. One song he wrote, "You Just May Be The One", is in mixed meter, interspersing 5/4 bars into an otherwise 4/4 structure.
After The Monkees, Nesmith's songs "Some Of Shelly's Blues" and "Propinquity (I've Just Begun To Care)" were made popular by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on their 1970 album Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy.
