"Back In The Spotlight Where He Belongs..'

-

 This is something what one journalist said about David Cassidy.  On October 1st, 1990, on Radio 95.5P LJ in NYC..David was a special guest there, and he was so happy that people loved his new music and that he was again in his native city.  He told about his roots, New Jersey .The songs from his new album were played and the listeners could call and asked him questions. And they all said the same thing - 'David, so wonderful that you are back..How we have been waiting for you..' "How we missed you', 'Just great to hear you again..'

One woman said that she had all TPF's albums and that in the 70s she'd pretended that DC'd been singing just for her. And David said : 'You know, I was singing  for you in fact'. He was very moved and happy, joked with fans, another woman asked him : 'Are you married?' 'No.." "Have you got any significant lady?'.."I have a lot of significant ladies..' She wanted to ask him for dinner..He told about the album, his plans, upcoming tour..He told some stories from TPF's set, about Simone the dog, or how Dave Madden'd wanted to strangle Danny after 47 takes in a tree hut.. One call was from Danny..And while talking with Danny he was serious, DC really cared about his tv's younger brother..

I've only started listening to DC's radio interviews from the 90s, but I can already tell you this is  David Cassidy at his best..And I've had a first very nice surprise. Timm McCoy's conversation with  DC on WKSR OH, April 22, 1990.. It was also a very big surprise for Timm, someone else was supposed to conduct that interview.  DC was  in London, they called him  and Timm was so excited, it was something really special for him, Timm was a fan from the start, since 1970..He played some songs from the album, asked David why fans in the US had to wait so long for his new music..what DC tought about his songs, was he still asked about Keith..This is a link to that interview.

Kay Lenz, an Actress

Don't get me wrong, I'm not writing today's blog just to gossip about DC's private life, it's because I always admired that amazing woman, Kay Ann Lenz. She had birthday yesterday. 3 years younger than David, a few years older than a typical DC's fan.  In the 70s I heard quite a lot about Kay Lenz . She was very popular in Poland, like the rest of the cast of 'Rich Man, Poor Man'. That tv series was shown in my country I think in 1978, and everybody watched it, also a lot was written about the cast. So one day I read that Kay's husband was a former teen idol, David Cassidy. There was also a pic and I thought that it was just wonderful, I thought they were the most beautiful couple in the world. There was something very moving about Kay. I thought she was different than typical American actress. Such beautiful eyes, but her beauty wasn't an ordinary kind, not for everybody so to speak. When I was a teen I couldn't put in words what I thought a

They Said I Changed A Lot..

Let's first listen to something which was not released, why they didn't want David singing that song is a great mystery for me. Listening to his young, sincere, innocent and magical voice is one in a kind moving experience. You can just imagine David sitting next to you, with his guitar...and.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PbghG6czuw&t=6s Amazing. And of course we believe in David Cassidy and love songs. When I became a real DC's fan in 2018, there was something I used to discuss a lot with my English friend B. How David Cassidy kept changing. A completely different person in each decade. Or even more often. It was something difficult to understand for me. The many faces of David. Each album different from the previous one, different style and even his voice.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4gvxt1WgaA B. thought there was nothing unusual about how David was changing, and I simply didn't follow his career from the beginning, I didn't grow with him, I didn&#

'I Just Hated Being In The Show..'

Last week someone posted a screenshot of the article from May 1974, unfortunately without the date or the name of the paper. Written by a popular journalist Roderick Gilchrist, I think it was Daily Express. We can read that this interview took place at London Weekend Television's Building, on the day before the DC's last concert in Manchester.  And David said, "I feel like the door to the cage has just been opened. And, any minute now I'm going to be able to fly right away from my prison. I can't tell you how happy that makes me feel because I'll be free again.." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG0hjhwKx5s His prison..Of course there have been other teen idols in the history of pop culture, but somehow for those from the 70s it was like someone put a curse on them. Nothing David Cassidy recorded later in life hasn't changed a bit that first opinion some people had of him and his music. My FB friend, Laurie Eby has written, "I researched 'New Y
