David Cassidy's Songs Turning 50 in 2026

Image
1976 was truly David Cassidy's annus horribilis. Personal tragedies, and the end of his dreams of becoming a successful recording artist on his own terms. Breaking down again.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OooHt98QgKc On February 12, 1976, Sal Mineo was killed. He was stabbed in the heart by a mugger just outside his apartment in LA. He was only 37. It was a great personal loss for David, Sal was a friend since 1965, and they were always supportive of one another. David, deeply moved, paid for Sal Mineo's casket. In March 1976, David Cassidy's second RCA album was released in the US, UK, Australia, Germany, Japan, Turkey and France. 'Home Is Where The Heart Is'. Produced by David and Bruce Johnston, but it was entirely a David record. More than any other album recorded by him in his whole career. He was in control and wrote or co-wrote 7 of 10 songs, and 3 covers from that album were outstanding, and even better than the originals. Some great reviews appeared in ...

The Entry Number 1000. 'Darling David' by Jacque Cardenas

Image
This entry is special.  I've been writing about David Cassidy since December 2020, I feel like it was only a moment ago, but actually 5 years, and today the time has come for the entry no 1000. But first a song. The title of it was the title of the first entry published on this blog. Btw. the title of my blog is 'David Cassidy Being Together'.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFCpbdtwQac Today you are going to read a great and moving story, one more David Cassidy experience. Like each and all of them it's moving and emotional. It'll make you smile and it'll make you sad. I can relate to many thoughts shared by the author. The story is written by a fellow fan and my FB friend from the US, Jacque Cardenas.  Darling David It's been 55 years since The Partridge Family aired, 51-53 years since my first crush registered in my mind, 8 years since his untimely death, and almost 2 years since David Bruce Cassidy returned to my heart. I was just growing out of my infa...

Some New Updates 2025

Image
Let's start with a song. I love David Cassidy's Christmas songs, those recorded in summer of 1971 for The Partridge Family, and those recorded 45 years later with his wonderful band, in August 2016. Such a great blusy feeling in this number, like a couple of very tired and merry Santas met at the bar and were singing together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCq2fSFnwmY This year a lot of unknown issues of many magazines, mostly European, have been published on The Official  Website of David Cassidy. Among them many Bravo's articles (with translation) and its David's posters from the 70s and 80s. 'Bravo', a German weekly mag, was for teens interested in career and love life of current pop stars. Relationship and sex counceling were important part of this magazine popular throughout Europe. So we can read a lot also about David's love life. How he always loved girls and had many, about his wives, and some stories about those lucky girls who got to know him be...

'Don't Be Sad For Me..'

Image
'Don't ask why or how..' from 'Tonight', a song from EFX. I just love listening to it with my headphones on. David's voice, so wonderful, so deep and emotional. How he did it, that each song he performed seems to be about him, so personal, or even more, about him and a listener. I don't know who wrote 'Tonight' and who was singing with David. Somehow it's not mportant. He could make every song his own, only the greatest artist can do this. He was also a perfectionist, how it's all refined, thought out, every phrase, note, word. He seems to sing so effortlessly, of course he was very talented, but there was also a lot of hard work. Jack taught him, work ethic. Practising for hours if necessary, until everything was at the highest possible level.  https://www.davidcassidy.com/fansite/TheatrePages/EFXTonight.mp3 Of course David Cassidy wasn't the only one who combined a career as an actor, singer or even a teen idol, with successes in musica...

Yankee Doodle Dandy / George M. Cohan

Image
It was difficult to find a title, because at first I wanted to write only about this magical book, 'James Cagney Was My Babysitter', but just a few days ago we got new (I mean old but it was brand new for us, David's fans) video from 1981 when David was a star of 'Little Johnny Jones'. Wonderful video, posted by the original broadcaster (CBS8 News in San Diego) on its own You Tube channel. Amazing quality, there is an interview and first of all some fragments from the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iPal9HvGq8 What a voice! And it was live! You hear clearly every single sound, he was 100% pro. And what's more it was the opening night for 'Little Johnny Jones' at Fox Theater in San Diego. The first David's performance at the musical theatre after 12 years! Someone wrote in comments that he didn't smile while dancing. Of course he didn't, he was in pain. 'Little Johnny Jones' was written by George M. Cohan in 1904, the musical wa...

Let's Do It Now!

Image
Yes, after years of waiting and dreaming about it, and running the petition, now the time has come and this project  got  a green light to go ahead. A Stone for David Cassidy on Camden, London Music Walk of Fame.  Let's start with a song about being on fire because it's how I feel now.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O78YHPADwNo 'It's so easy to get lazy..so get up and move and get hot!'. Those David's own words, and the song has been playing in my head since the Camden Music Walk of Fame's organizers published fundrising link for David Cassidy Birthday Stone Unveilng & Ceremony. There is no doubt that David Cassidy should be remembered and honoured in London. He was a superstar there, on a scale difficult to imagine. He played there 23 sold out concerts, the first one in March 1973, the last in November 2012.  He was working there, performing on West End in the 80s and 90s. He recorded music in London. He guest starred on many TV and radio programmes, ...

The Things We Do For Love

Image
Yes, it's the title of the old 10cc hit (Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman), btw I'm a huge fan of Eric so I know the song is about hard times he had while dating a girl from Yorkshire, her dad was rather sceptical about that young popular guitarist and singer so much in love, but he shouldn't. Eric married his Angela in 1965, and they are still together. Btw 'I'm Not In Love' was also written for her. But this is a blog about David Cassidy, so let's start with David's song, and he, like no other, could sing about love, its joy and pain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sgero04Twc The things we do for love. We talked quite a lot about it while in London last month. After all we -  me, Maya and Linda, met for the second time this year. And for Maya it was the third journey she did for David Cassidy in 2025. Like other fans we have spent a lot of money and a lot of time travelling just because of him. To walk in his steps, to celebrate his life and legacy and ...
