'Is that your daddy Alex?': '60s pop star bares striking resemblance to Today host

The year 1967 was a big deal for the music industry, with a number of hit songs released by the biggest bands and singers.

In fact, one of those songs - 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell has recently surpassed one billion streams on Spotify - proving the hits of the past are as timeless as ever.

The Today team wanted to check out some of the other big songs from 1967 that have stood the test of time, but when they saw the video for one of those hits, one musician in particular bore a striking resemblance to one of their own.

Apart from 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough', Aretha Franklin's 'R.E.S.P.E.C.T', The Beatles' 'All You Need Is Love', Jackie Wilson's '(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher' and The Monkees' 'I'm a Believer' were just a few of the other bangers listeners love today.

"So that does look like Alex there doesn't it," Karl asked his co-hosts as The Monkees drummer Micky Dolenz appeared onscreen.

"Is that your daddy Alex?"

Sarah, Brooke and even Alex himself had to admit the resemblance was striking with the Today sports presenter thinking he might have to have a chat with his mum about it.

"What's going on?" he laughed.

"Is there something you want to tell me mum?"
