David Cassidy Being Together

First a song that for some time has not wanted to leave me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yITRKjBn2Jc&list=RDyITRKjBn2Jc&start_radio=1 'I'll Be Your Magician'. Difficult to believe but today I've listened to David Cassidy singing it for the first time in my life. I mean, I read about it, I even watched Danny Bonaduce once 'performing' it on a TV program in 1973. but I never heard David's version.  But that's what friends are for, my fellow fans. Scotti wrote about it, and Linda published the link for me. Actually this video appeared on You Tube 3 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NWSJyZu_J8&list=RD8NWSJyZu_J8&start_radio=1 In the style of the 60s, reminds a bit The Kinks' classic, 'Sunday Afternoon'. I checked it in Johnny Ray Miller's book, and 'I'll Be Your Magician' was a demo for use in Season 2. That version (and some other songs, but not by David) was on a vinyl pressing released by Screen Gem...

Great updates on the Website a few days ago, new items for the cathegory called "In Print. Non-fiction books featuring David Cassidy". There are books written by DC, and by others, about David Cassidy, or those in which he is mentioned. There are the most of the latter, quite a long list and it's always exciting when new items appear. Let's start with a song. This live version of 'Get It Up For Love' from 1985, is simply sensational, David in a great vocal form and great shape, so full of energy and just pure joy that he could make his fans happy again. Give and take. Of course he was still so young.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dc0hqIU-Vs&list=RD-dc0hqIU-Vs&start_radio=1 I want to write about 2 books. The first one  is 'George Michael - The Life 1963 - 2016  : The Man, The Legend, The Music', published in 2017, and written by Emily Herbert. I have no idea how old is she but it looks like she has written a lot of known people's biograp...

It looks like I write an entry about May's anniversaries every year. Of course it's a coincidence that so many important people for David Cassidy's life and  career were born in May. Very important.  Today The Creator, The Producer and The Musical Director. Amazing, very successful and professional men, for a few years so important for David, they were  working with him, teaching him and witnessing how a young unknown actor became a global superstar and  accomplished artist. Let's start with a song, also connected with May, because it was on May 11th, 1970 when David Cassidy was for the very first time at the recording studio. His first song performed on TV..This video has 6 million views, more than 3k comments, some of them written this year. David Cassidy's first and the most important song recorded in May, 56 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r9UtIhOI8M&list=RD2r9UtIhOI8M&start_radio=1 Bernard Slade, the creator of The Partridge Family was born ...

First a song. Laurie posted yesterday a pic of her room, with DC and Sam Hyman photographs on the wall, and she wrote a few words for Sam Hyman, but not only he answered, Laurie Eby has a lot of friends who haven't forgotten her, and we all wish her a full recovery. I read her post too and thought about this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFCpbdtwQac&list=RDkFCpbdtwQac&start_radio=1 Laurie Eby, from Canada. My age, a little bit younger, born in 1962. Smart, witty, funny and inspirational. Sophisticated. Very attractive. Expressive, stands out in the group. Own strong opinions. Stubborn.  The kind of person people fell in love with or don't like at all. Nothing average about Laurie. There is only one weakness..her health. 4 years ago, in April 2022, Laurie wrote an entry for my blog. https://talkingaboutdavid.blogspot.com/2022/04/the-las-vergas-stories-laurie-eby.html I couldn't go to Las Vegas in 2022. We often talked that one day..she invited me to visit her...

One more great cover from 1979. The song was written in 1963, recorded by various artists, but never really a big hit. David's version is soulful, full of passion, his voice rich and seductive.. I think he had a lot of fun recording it, it's also a great dance number.  Of course each and all of us had at last once the same dream, the same wish. It should have been me..Me and David. And now some fans can fulfill that dream thanks to AI. I'm strongly against it, even that I know that nothing can stop fans from making those short scenes (I don't know how to call them). At first it looked innocent, a fake David (his animated photo) smiling at the image of younger version of the author of such fantasy, later we got a fake David hugging a fan, now serious kissing started. I can't see anything funny in it, in my opinion it's a serious obsession, and it's very sad because David Cassidy, his image, was so exploited, and now own David's fans.. https://www.youtube....

A catchy title, but first a song. From David's album recorded in 1979, but not released at the time, only in 1991.  Not all the fans know those really amazing songs. Yes, they are covers, but like always with David, when he covered a song he had a reason for it. He also recorded a new version of his own song. 'Junked Heart Blues'. I wonder why. It's different, less dramatic than the recording from 1976. It's easy to imagine David sitting at the piano and playing it in some nightclub. It's more mature. Maybe he recorded with Kay, at the time his wife, in mind. Or maybe he just liked it and wanted to give the song one more chance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jexk9glmnv8&list=RDjexk9glmnv8&start_radio=1 Three Cheers For Henry!. Always, we all love him. But this title is from a very old article I've read today. I found at last some time to have a look at the website's updates. And in Fan magazine from November 1974, we can read that Henry Diltz ...
