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 ...

Shopping Bag

Image
I was in London for 4 days, to be there on the 8th anniversary of Davd Cassidy's passing, and to meet with friends, people I've met because of him. I've returned home with a bag full of presents and many new ideas for my blog..  And with a vinyl copy of The Partridge Family 'Shopping Bag'. I've listened to this album many times today..  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzy4ahHd8Ng What a wonderful song (Irwin Levine - L,Russel Brown), and what a great music scene.  I've been watching it and smiling with love and admiration looking at David, just like this little girl 54 years ago. It's unbelievable how David Cassidy was talented and beautiful. And it hurts that already 8 years passed since he died. My copy of 'Shopping Bag' is in great condition, even that it was bought at a charity shop by my English friend B.  It's not rare to find David's albums at charity shops, he sold millions of records in the UK. I haven't expected that 'Sh...

David Cassidy In 'Bravo'. And Frances.

Image
I have written many times about David Cassidy's popularity in Germany in the 70s, and the importance of 'Bravo' magazine in Europe. 'Bravo' was forbidden behind the Iron Curtain, also in my country, Poland, but it only increased our curiosity and prices of this weekly magazine on the black market. You can't imagine how it was popular in the 70s. First of all because of sex, in each issue there was exciting photo story about first teenage sexual experiences, and a lot of articles with wonderful pics about teen idols, popular singers and actors. And we, teens in communist countries could listen to some Western music on the radio, but we had no idea how our fav artists looked like. And it was in 'Bravo', brought to school by a lucky owner, where I saw David Cassidy's pic for the first time and it stopped me in my tracks, and to this day, half a century later, I remember what I felt looking at his face.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG0hjhwKx5s David ...

In Memoriam 2025

Image
Another painful anniversary this week, and it's scary to think how the world has changed since 2017. Everything.  New world leaders, new technology, new problems, new conflicts and even new words. We have changed too. And our lives. We fell for David Cassidy 55 years ago and of course each year we lose someone who knew or worked with him. Sure we like remembering good things, and David still brings us smile and happiness, but I feel that I should write about some people important for us, David Cassidy's fans, who have passed away this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYpNhu9GmUM What a wonderful song in outstanding, poignant David's interpretation. And I just love this video. In 2025 two our DC's sisters, two our FB friends and fellow fans, have died. In January Kim Morgan. She was not my close friend but in the past years she often commented my blogs and we 'talked' about David  Cassidy quite often. I didn't realized that she disappeared, didn't no...

A Year To Remember. 2025

Image
Of course since David Cassidy has passed away each year is important. Time is not on our side. Fans all over the world work hard and do everything what is possible to keep David's legacy alive. No one help us. We are on a mission, All projects and initiatives commemorating David Cassidy, like plaques in the places he performed as an actor or a singer (not only in London), or the plaque in the Queens departure longue at Heathrow, benches in London and Saratoga Springs, a time capsule in London, his star in Las Vegas or the bricks in Liverpool, and many more, all of them were created thanks to the effort and persistence of the fans. Yes,  some David Cassidy's friends or people who knew him or worked with him always give their support, but it's mostly verbal.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsJSAqv8GGE In May 2025, Denise Ames, beautiful, amazing woman, so full of positive energy, so in May Denise for the second time organized the celebration of Sam Hyman's birthday.
