Find Peace In Your Soul /Bill Dorsey/

-

When I was searching for a good title for today's post I've thought about that old TPF's song from Season1. It's scary how so many songs were about David , or mayby they were just very universal. He made some important decisions in 2005 to find peace and balance in his life..So the song first.

At the end of January 2005 , according to an American poll, David was announced as tv's greatest American teen idol ever. The best in history. He beat Ricky Nelson, John Travolta and Johnny Depp. Whatever he did he couldn't make people forget DC, a superstar , he was  an epitome of a teen idol forever stuck in time. He became a pop icon from the 70s. But it wasn't David's problem in 2005, he was concentraiting more on his private life that year.

Mayan King, I've already written about that horse and DC's high expectations .' If I could win the Kentucky Derby, there would be nothing on the face of earth . other than the birth of my son 14 years ago, to compare to the thrill and the high of it. The day I bought him I thought he was a Derby horse.'  (March23, 2005). That year DC said several times that he was more proud of his career as a breeder than of his gold albums..This is a link to the video made during the races , Saratoga, NY..Happy and excited David Cassidy with Sue and their son watching DC's horse 'Half Heaven'..

Also a lot was written about the upcoming UK tour called 'Once In a Lifetime' . David was to perform (as the most important star) alongside The Osmonds, David Essex and the Bay City Rollers . DC asked fans via his website which songs they would like him to sing during that tour. He also announced that the tour would be special because it would be his last outside the US.

'It was a hard decision but I made a promise to my son Beau never to leave the country for months at a time again and I intend to keep it. I can't do that to my son or my wife any more. (..) it's always been about the work and my fans who just continue to surprise me with how great they are.' (20th June, 2005 D.Thompson:'David's pretty certain he loves us', The Journal, Newcastle)

There were 11 concerts started on June21st in Newcastle. David Cassidy took his family to the UK , and 14 year old Beau accompanied him for about 10 minutes on stage at nearly every concert. He was very proud of him..At the same time he wasn't happy about his 19 year old daughter's career. David was spending a lot of time with Beau,  the boy was tall as his father, shared his passion for horses and music, sang in a choir and played bass in his own rock band. On August 1, 2006 they sang the national anthem together..

 I couldn't find any videos from that tour , we know that he sang his own hits but also The Beatles 'You Have To Hide Your Love Away', here is that song from another concert. It's amazing, it's not like a gig for money , it's like happy friends meeting again, David and his fans.

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...
