David Cassidy Being Together

Oh yes, it's true. 'When love's talked about, love is through, it's run out of me, it's run out of you (...) when love's talked about, it's too late, so let's not talk it out or it'll turn to hate.' Really some lyrics of PF's songs were so mature and serious, but DC always had big smile on his face performing them.  I've been binge watching The Partridge Famly during the last few evenings. It's started with Valentine's Day. A big day for commerce and kids, but rather irritating for me to see those countless DC's pics with hearts and roses. And mostly the present tense used. Yes, I understand, he became our dream boy more than half a century ago, and he stuck there, forever. It's not important really, that if David Cassidy lived he would have been 75 years old in April and we all are middle aged now.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=220JIywCzvk And because of severe weather and not being well I had to stay at home. It was r...

Just a short entry today, I haven't planned anything but I have to write about the video posted yesterday by Tracey from our David Cassidy Great Britain Legacy Group.  Every day, for I don't know how many years, Tracey posts a fragment of the lyrics from one of David's songs. It's a kind of educational fun, fans do it together, each fan should write only one line, the next fragment of a song.  It's not easy, sometimes it's difficult to guess the song, and thanks to Tracey, I think now I know all the lyrics by heart, and this way I can appreciate the songs even more. Every evening Tracey post the video with  that day's song. And yesterday the video was the original UK footage of David Cassidy singing 'I Write The Songs' rebroadcast on 192 TV (whatever it is). Of course I've seen many times this video as it was repeated on the Granada Plus channel, and I don't know why watching this particular one yesterday made such an impression on me. Great ...

Grammy Awards took place a few days ago, I haven't watched it and have no idea who are the winners. I don't know any new songs, I don't listen to the radio really, I just know a few names that everyone knows. Global brands more than singers.  People miss real music, songs with melodies and lyrics. My younger daughter asked me if I rememberd from the 80s Kate Bush' 'Running Up That Hill', and I answered, 'Yes, of course, even better was the video with Donald Sutherland..but why?' And she told me that Netflix made this song extremely popular again. Can you believe it? I don't watch Netflix so I haven't heard about it.   And of course I thought about David Cassidy and so many of his wonderful songs waiting to be rediscoverd. He was making music videos already in the 70s. Or maybe not exactly music videos but his  every TV performance was also an acting role. Like this one, the song and David still sensational. It's difficult to believe it was ta...

  A single from 'Notebook' album. There were two singles, 'Looking Through The Eyes Of Love' which peaked at # 39 on January 27, 1973, and 'Friend And a Lover' - #99 on Billboard chart in April 1973.  Why those two songs were been selected? I'd have chosen 'Walking In the Rain' and 'Together We're Better', it's easy to say now of course, but at the time, in 1973, when it was obvious that Partridge Family was on its way down, Wes Farrell must have had his reasons (money, money)..and also 'Friend And A Lover' was a kind of rock song, even that it was close to plagiarism. 'Na Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye recorded by Steam in 1969 was obviously an inspiration for this Partridge Family's song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNGT_CyNVKU You really have to admire David Cassidy, he did his best with this song in recording studio, and even more in that music scene. 'Friend And A Lover' fit quite well with this partic...

  The episode with David Cassidy for The Oprah Winfrey Show, was taped in Chicago on February 6, 2008. 2008 was a year to remember for David. Impressive Ups and Downs. Let's talk about Ups today. In May, 3 year-old Sweet Vendetta, a horse bred and co-owned by DC, won in the mile and eight Grade II, $200,000 Black Eyed Susan stakes, at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.  One of the most prestigious race in the USA, and for DC that victory was like a dream came true - bliss and sheer happiness. The biggest, the most important achievement in his career as horseman and horse breeder, and as we know he bought his first horse when he was still a teen idol, in the early 70s. I think that guest appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show was also very important for David. A proof that he was a star in his native country,  And he was welcomed by screaming and enthusiastic audience. We have a review of that episode published on www.oprah.co. The title -  'The Teen Dream'. And, "Watch ...

After writing my last entry (Rock This Town), I spent a happy hour watching David Cassidy, Micky Dolenz and Peter Noone's concert from March 22, 2013. Great video put together by one and only Lucio. We own him so much, amazing videos and audios from the last decade of David Cassidy's life. Jane Blackie, a fellow fan from our David Cassidy Great Britain Group who also watched this concert on YT, wrote in comment, 'It was brilliant, funny, serious and all worked together really well. I thought All You Lucky people in the audience.' Really well said. I was watching and singing with them, some songs made me smile, some emotional, but first of all I knew every single one of them by heart. Peter Noone, Micky Dolenz and David Cassidy looked like they knew all the lyrics and having great time either.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPL3nfV3q-A&t=13s David was the best, I know that fan means fanatic, but he really was extraordinary, as a performer, a human being and a heart...
