David Cassidy Being Together

Of course it was, 'We'll always have Paris', Humphrey Bogart to Ingrid Bergman in David Cassidy's favourite film, 'Casablanca'. So let's start with unforgettable David's performance on 'The Partridge Family/My Three Sons Reunion, in November 1977. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhIl93zAuJU&list=RDxhIl93zAuJU&start_radio=1 I think I watched this video 200 times at least, and each time is like the first time. Total admiration for his voice and his beauty.  'We'll always have London', David Cassidy and his fans. Each time in London, walking in David's footsteps, we feel his presence. It's difficult not to feel, because truly spreaking everywhere we go in London, there is a place connected with him. Places where he worked - the theaters he performed, recording studios he recorded his music, concert halls he played concerts, tv and radio studios where he was invited as a star, always a star, in every decade of his career.

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 ...

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...

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 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...

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...
