Gene Clark is best known for his short stint with
The Byrds in 1965 as a singer/primary
songwriter. Although his partners,
Roger McGuinn and
David Crosby, were both ranked above him,
he was the band's songwriter. He wrote and sang some of the band's best
songs including "Feel A Whole Lot Better", "Eight Miles High", and "She
Don't Care About Time". After leaving
The Byrds because of a fear of flying, his
career garnered little commercial but great critical success. He died
only a few months after being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame, as a member of The Byrds.
