Kuehne was born in
Los Angeles-area music scene. When Nesmith was cast in The Monkees, he recruited London as his stand-in on the set, and when the originally-fictitious band began playing on their own recordings, London sometimes served as bassist, allowing Peter Tork to play keyboards, banjo, or another instrument. London also co-wrote "Don't Call On Me" with Nesmith, which was featured on Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd.
and a second-season TV episode, and appeared in bit parts on the show.
London also played bass for other L.A.-based bands. In 1970, he and Nesmith, who had decided to leave the Monkees, formed a new group with
First National Band, the group signed with RCA Records. While praised for their country rock
innovations, the band had little commercial success, and eventually broke up.
Years after the Monkees and the First National Band, London served as
The Karate Kid, Long Time Gone, and Hudson Hawk

He died in Rockport, Texas on February 12, 2000, aged 58.[2]
