The 80's ..Basia..Tim and Keith

-

 Basia Trzetrzelewska (even for me her last name is not easy to pronounce), a fantastic singer,  started her career in Poland, in the 70s, but I first heard about her when she had a hit with Matt Bianco in 1984. At the time I thought what a happy song it was, obviously I didn't listen to lyrics.. This is  such a nice song and...it makes me want to dance..

Our censors didn't know what to say about her success, a singer who stayed behind the Iron Curtain, but when she had a great hit in America with 'Time and Tide', she became very known here too. btw..so many artists who worked with David Cassidy made later quite a big career, that means that he worked with the best,  talented people, and maybe they learnt something from him too..Here is Basia and my her's favourite  song,  she is a co-writer, arranger and producer  of  that really outstanding track.

Amazing, I love it..That was in 1990, and in 1984 Basia did backing vocals on David Cassidy's album 'Romance'. On the only one,  title song. I'd love to know something more about that collaboration. She wasn't an unknown figure in London at the time, Matt Bianco already released their first album..Of course  they could have never met, David and Basia,,Maybe I should write to her and ask, she will  play concerts in Poland next year..

I've already written about George Michael on 'Last Kiss' and his friendsip with David.https://talkingaboutdavid.blogspot.com/2021/06/the-last-kiss-alan-tarney-david-cassidy.html

And during his very succesful UK tour, in DC's band played twin brothers, Tim and Keith Atack. In the 70s they were quite sucessful (for a while) when they were in a teen band 'Child'. I never heard about Child at the time, only when my English friend B. told me about them. In the 70s she had a big crush on Tim (drums)..Truly speaking they were awful (music), but I can understand B..and Keith was not bad either..

The 70s..In 1978 'Child' were voted the most popular UK band amongst teenage girls in a poll conducted by the mag 'Fab 208' . But soon there was the end of their career, and Keith and Tim became session musicians. Keith wrote a really moving tribute to David, this is a video with that tribute, made by David Cassidy Great Britain Team..

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...
