David Cassidy Being Together

  Or, "But.. What To Write About?" First the song, 'Prisoner'. This song is a proof that DC self titled album had bad timing, it should have been released much earlier, and basically all the songs were written around 1988, only released in 1990, of course it was not David Cassidy's fault.  It's a mainstream soft rock number, and a lot of such songs were released in the late 80s. Yes, I know we are looking through the eyes of love at everything DC ever recorded, but 'Prisoner' is not very original, nevertheless very good and interesting.  I don't know how he did it, sure his acting skills and imagination, talent whatever we call it made him so special, but it's amazing how David Cassidy could sing absolutely everything. This song released earlier and with good publicity should have been a hit. It's much better than many known hits from that era.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esj5zr58FSU&t=109s And how it was recorded, the sound is sim

What 23-year-old David Cassidy could know about time.. Kim Carnes and Dave Ellingson were a few years older, but still under 30. And when you are young you just can't imagine how fast time can pass. But together, those young people wrote an amazing, poignant, universal and timeless song.  I love how David performed it in Australia. Of course it was also an opportunity for him to sit down for a few minutes, it was so hot that day, performing in those conditions was so demanding, there were breaks and the stage was wobbling, he was afraid of fans' and his safety, but when he was singing 'Can't Go Home Again' he gave 100%, and the audience stopped screaming.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4gvxt1WgaA Yes, time. We've had such a long, hot summer this year in Poland. I thought it would never end, and now it's November. 'Happened unexpectedly' as David was singing about love in 1976. So many years ago.. For David Cassidy November was always a special mon

The readers of my blog know very well what I think about David Cassidy's career. He was a great underrated singer and I truly believe that one day he will be rediscovered and his music will be known all over the world (we all have our dreams).  And that he was a very good actor, who never had a real breakthrough role, never really had a chance to show his real acting potential. He was looking for such a role after The Partridge Family, he wanted to make a film about John Paul Getty III, later a friend was writing a movie script for him and Kay Lenz.  When in 1980 he lost all his money he took any role offered to him. Of course DC was a professional, skilled and very talented actor, and always treated any job seriously. He was great as Mirror Master, and his comedic talent shone not only on TPF, but also on the set of Malcolm In The Middle or 'The Spirit of '76', he was very convincing as a former rock star on Alfred Hitchcock Presents. And so charming and very moving on

A long title today, but 3 days ago I got such a list on Google Alerts, published by something called Gigwise, whatever it is. Anyone can make such a list, but yes, I've thought about it today. Sure David had his share in shaping the 70s decade. He was fighting all his life to make people forget about it a little bit and also appreciate what he recorded and did later. But the most popular DC's video on YT is of course the one with 20 year- old David singing 'I Think I Love You' on The Larry Kane Show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r9UtIhOI8M 5,7 mln views, over 3k comments...When I became a die-hard DC fan in 2017, my older daughter said, 'You know mum, I've checked this David of yours..and really, such a boy, sure a pretty one, but a kid..and I Think I Love You!!! You and this kind of music!?'. That's the problem with David. How to explain that he was surprised himself, that it was just the beginning, and which video recommend to watch, something typi

Lanie Bray posted yesterday a pic with David and Teri Cot é,  ta ken 7 years ago, probably in October 2017.  There were some comments, that he didn't look well, and who was Teri. Yes, of course I understand. There are fans who first of all are interested in young David, the impact he had on their lives in the 70s, and only maniacs like me or Lanie (and some others) know all dates, all names and every single one recording of David. David Cassidy was a solo act (if I can put it this way), and after his teen idol experience even more, he trusted his own instinct, he wanted to work his own way and had control. But on the other hand he was always a loyal and good team player, he learnt this in the theater, and in working with other musicians, in recording studio and performing on stage. His relationship with people with whom he recorded or played music was always extraordinary, there was often a mutual admiraton, friendship, it was intense and short-lived, another project meant another

Let's start with the song from the B side of David Cassidy's single released in February 1985. The Letter.  Difficult to believe that someone didn't want him. Of course it's just a song, co-written by DC, but we know that he really got such letters in his life.  I like this song very much. It's a very typical kind of dance, electronic song, so popular in the 80s, but it's also a kind of a rocker number,  and it's amazing how it suited David's strong voice, he really could sing everything, and The Letter is so enyojable to listen to or to dance.  I think he could have recorded really outstanding the 80s album, if his producer had been someone else. Let's face it, Alan Tarney was first of all Cliff Richard's producer, and the songs on 'Romance' album were mostly re-written Cliff's numbers.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxhRzr7_O78 Recently Jane has posted on the website (thanks to Lanie Bray), a lot of articles from German magazine,
