Mike Smith, lead singer and keyboardist with the Dave Clark Five, has died. After the Beatles, the Dave Clark Five were my second-favorite British band, featuring compelling melodies with great hooks, unique instrumentation, great harmonies, driving rhythms, and R&B-tinged vocals from Mike Smith himself. The last years of Smith's life were dogged by suffering.
