David Cassidy Being Together

Bobby Hart, such an amazing career, one-half of that prolific songwriting duo, Boyce&Hart. They wrote for The Monkees (eg. The Monkees music theme and 'Last Train to Clarksville'), for The Partridge Family Bobby Hart co-wrote 'I'm On My Way Back Home' and 'Sunshine', 'Girl, You Make My Day' (with Tommy Boyce), 'Lookin' For a Good Time', and some others.  And one more connection, he co-wrote 'Hurt So Bad'.  He still lives, was born in February 1939.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MumquQrK6mo Fans have started writing about upcoming seventh anniversary, time is running so fast, and the world has changed so enormously since November 21, 2017. Strange to think that DC never heard about Covid or AI.. We remember so well that moment when we learnt that DC was in hospital. Barb Schlamp Collentine wrote yesterday about her memories of that day, on David Cassidy Vrtual Fan Club, and a lot of fans wrote very moving comments. Oh yes, w

A song first. Today it has been a very typical November day in Poland. Cold and rainy, so it's time for something about rain.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMNrTX8fv6w You don't know what to admire more, David's fabulous, velvety and sensual voice, his incredible hair, or his smile. Amazing. Two days ago one reader, a fellow fan, Jane Blakie, wrote some very kind words about my blog, how she learnt a lot about DC reading it, about research I did, and she added, "David was such a brilliant man in many areas not just his music, I'm sure there must be a couple of more stones to over turn.".  I liked her witty remark, smiled to myself..and thought about it a little bit. Are there any more stones to over turn and do I want to look for them? And let's face it, fans first of all want to know about David's private life, when and with whom, and the names of those lucky ladies. When I started publishing my book on the blog, I was asked a few times, "Have

Let's first watch The Temptations performing this great song, 'Can't Get Next To You' on The Ed Sullivan Show, in 1969. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDasi1jiqRs No 1 Billboard single for Temptations in October 1969. A big hit at the time when 19 year old David Cassidy was working on the set of his first TV show. The episode of 'Survivors' with DC was aired on November 7, 1969.  Unfortunately, no copy of this episode survived, we don't have a single photo from it. But it's amazing what we can read in comments of  'Survivors" trailer on YT. That there is a VCR video of each episode of it in the UCLA's archive. So maybe one day, we'll be able to see episode 7 with David Cassidy in his TV debut. The cast of that short-lived soap opera was really impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VEFMWOWVv0 There is a chapter called 'The Soundtrack Of My Youth' in David Cassidy's autobiography. How extraordinary for him was to meet,

  'You're the sunshine that I hold deep inside me when I'm cold..' From 'Shopping Bag'. There was a time I didn't like this song, but it's changed. Of course, first of all David's magical young voice is responsible for it, but there is something more. Something irresistible, this song is charming and uplifting, and I've thought about it while looking for the right title for today's blog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEjPtAAN73M David Cassidy always makes our days better: his music, his smile or even something written about him. And I've had rather tiring weekend, but because of DC it wasn't so bad as it could have been. First someone wrote on Threads, that "David Cassidy had one of the finest singing voices of all time" and published the link to 'Summer Days'. Nothing more, but it was enough to make me smile. And of course it's so true. So many fans, especially no American ones, fell for David after listening

About one month ago I found rather unusal cover of DC's song. It was unusual because of the song itself, 'Damned If This Ain't Love', from David Cassidy 2nd RCA album, 'Home Is Where The Heart Is', released in 1976 ; and because it was called, 'Drum cover'.  I've been at first a little bit suspicious, but this is just fabulous. And I love how the drummer enjoys playing this wonderful, full of joy and energy song. His playing and David's raspy, sexy voice make it even better. I published the link to it on my FB page and one of my friends (Maya James) commented, 'Makes you want to learn.' Exactly! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV767mHAGZE I'm sure David Cassidy would have loved it. He was a very good drummer himself. As we know, in the 60s, he got a very special present from Sal Mineo. Sal Mineo, born in 1939, nominated for Academy Award when he was 17, a former teen idol..he really liked David. And gave him amazing and very generous

After my last entry I've got very interesting comments, and I want to write about some of them. Thank you. I turned off comments on the blog because of one or two unpleasanst persons, but I publish new entries on David Cassidy Great Britain Legacy Group and David Cassidy-Greatest Fans Group, and you can comment there. I appreciate every single one about what I write. Marjon Hoogendam-Landmeter reminded me that David, Sue and John Wetton together wrote one more song, recorded in 1989, and released in 1990 on Asia album called Then&Now. Not the best in Asia catalog. Interesting lyrics, it looks like written by David himself, about hitting bottom, 'can't sink no lower than this'. The video was made in Moscow in 1990, in that difficult time after communism collapsed in Soviet Union, and the band played a concert there in November 1990. John Wetton had a great voice himself. He was an English very talented musician, singer and songwriter. He played in many iconic English
