David Cassidy Being Together

I have read a lot of articles about DC, published in the UK in the early 70s, have own collection of them myself, but when I've seen this, I thought wow!  New Musical Express. October 28, 1972. The front page, David's pic and in extra big, bold letters, 'CASSIDY TOUR' Wow (again) https://www.davidcassidy.com/fansite/InPrintPages/Mag1972Oct28_NewMusicalExpress.pdf We can read (also on the front page but in small print) that more details are on page 3 and that David was "a phenomenal attraction for thousands of fans" and that "Cassidy's 'Cherish' album and his 'How Can I Be Sure' single are both No 1 in this week's NME chart". (what a shame there are no charts). This is just amazing.  Let's watch a video. David Cassidy singing 'How Can I Be Sure' in London, in 1985. I have goosebumps anytime I listen to the beginning of his performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_g3AxbW9-o&list=RDa_g3AxbW9-o&start_radi...

  The second Partridge Family's album was released on February 12, 55 years ago. In 1971. On Bell. There is an article on the website, called 'David Cassidy Young Self-Made Superstar', published in January 1971. The author described David, "A quiet, rather shy lad. But behind those calm grey eyes (..) there's a deceptive intelligence, an awareness. The knowledge of showbusiness flows in his blood.". David said, "The music we do, is bubblegum to the trade. I think it's a little bit better than most bubblegum. Sophisticated bubblegum. What is not is George Harrison. That's what I want be doing." At the time George Harrison's first solo album was a great hit. David Cassidy was young and he wanted to become an independent. recording artist. After  55 years the music he called bubblegum became pop classic, even the song he really hated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-J8ypGTWxg DC was 100% pro, always, deadly serious about his work, the qual...

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. Hote...

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...
