 Let's imagine the year is 1990 , tv is turned on, MTV, and why not ..you are doing sth..what wives and mothers do..let's say..ironing..and suddenly...what a great rock song, a fabulous, strong,  breathy voice..there is something familiar..you are looking closer..wow..what a guy..body and everything..one moment!... that hair..and those eyes..sure .you've seen him somewhere....many years ago ,but.. he looked different...It can't be??.The iron is falling out of your hands. You are 13 again and in love for the first time....Yes!!...David Cassidy ..a brand new one, mature and very handsome DC. 

And like always..singing about love..

But how David came to be on MTV ? With a new great hit ? We must return to 1987.

DC arrived in London in March that year , he started rehearsals in the Dominion Theatre,  very hard working time for him, 15, 16 hours a day. DC lived in a little 2 bedroom apartment in Knightsbridge ,near Montpelier Square.When I've read this (in his autobiography) , I cried very loud......sth, because I know that part of London very well, I've walked it along and across it on foot , and Ive been staying in nearby hotels a few times .But of course not in the 80s...

Anyway , one day he heard a knock ..'I opened the door and there stood Sue, with a big smile on her face - and 15 piece of luggage' (David Cassidy, Could It Be Forever?, 2017) btw. Sue is also Aries ,like David ,very stubborn sign (I know, I'm Aries too)

They were very happy together in London, David and Sue, they were writing songs, and when  returned to the U.S, at the end of 1987, DC moved  into Sue's house..David wanted to rebuild his life in his native country. He kept on writing new material, alone and with Sue, the songs no one ever expected from David Cassidy...Like this one :

My English friend B. , told me a story ,how  in the 90s , her friends  visited her while she was listening to 'David Cassidy' album from 1990, and she asked them to guess the name of the artist singing..Foreigner ? Whitesnake ? They couldn't guess and when she told them they couldn't believe it..

So DC was working on a new material , and there was a very popular morning show in LA ,Mark and Brian on KLOS radio. They were DC's fans ,and they were talking about him. 'So I called them and they invited me on the show. They asked me what I'd been doing. I told them  I had been writing some material and making some demos. The following week, I accepted their offer to come back to the studio(..) By the end of the show , I had play three or four demos and had 3 offers of recording contracts. Ah, Los Angeles, how sweet it is..' (DC :Could It Be Forever?', 2007)

When David went on tour in 1991, the first in the U.S. since 1972..he looked and sounded like he had been playing rock for the last 20 years.. David Cassidy , one and only..This is just amazing..

Robyn Millan

  I learnt yesterday that Robyn Millan died last year. Someone published a post about the TPF's episode where she'd appeared as a guest star, 'Dora, Dora, Dora', Season 2 episode 1, aired 50 years ago, on September 17, 1971..And there was a comment about that episode that the script was poorly written, sexist etc. Maybe, no one would dare write something like that now, but the world looked different half a century ago..And I really felt sad yesterday because of Robyn. She started her short career in 1965, 33 credits, mostly tv roles - Mission:Impossible, The F.B.I, Hawaii 5.0, Ryan's Hope..But we would remember her as Dora, the girl Keith fell in love with, and Robyn, the girl David dated for a while.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmZnk9RFKm0&t=1s  In December 1971 on Photoplay Magazine an interview with Robyn was published :' He is just marvellous and really knows how to handle his success.(..) We hit it off from that first day six months ago.(..) I resp...

Love Is All That I Ever Needed. A David Cassidy Biography. Chapter 1

  Chapter 1 The Divorce David Bruce Cassidy was born on April 12, 1950 in New York City. He was born into show business, it was running in his blood. His parents were young and glamorous working actors. Jack Cassidy was 23 years old, Evelyn Ward 3 years older, both very busy with their career, frequently touring and absent. David spent his early years with his maternal grandparents in West Orange, New Jersey, just 20 miles from New York. He felt he was different from other kids, didn’t exactly fit in, his school friends’ parents didn’t look like his, they had ordinary jobs, like his grandfather, Frederic Ward, who all his life worked as a utility meter reader. David was a small child, slightly built, and had to wear glasses. During his life he underwent 5 eye operations. It wasn't easy to be the youngest, and not to have a brother or a sister. Someone to fight with, but also to play with, and to share love, good and bad experiences. He was a lonely child, brought up by honest,...

'He Was So Pretty You Couldn't Look Away..'

'and sexy in a way that is timeless.' It's from Kevin Fallon's article published on www.thedailybeast.com on November  22, 2017.  Maybe it's not the smartest thing to do, but the newest article about David Cassidy on Record Collector Magazine, and first of all different pointsview of it, made me have a look on some articles published after this horrible day,  November 21, 2017. But first a song. We experience another heat wave here in Poland, I haven't seen a rain in many days, which is scary, so maybe a song about a rainy day. We miss David on any day, and this is one of his best songs. And amazing, very moving tribute video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ6qjfK72L8 We have 42 web articles from November and December 2017, on the website, and I can't see Kevin Fallon's on the list, even that I'm sure I sent it Jane last year, because this is not the first time I'm writing about this article. I'm a former librarian, I believe everything sho...
