Oh No, Not My Baby/ Gerry Goffin, Carole King

This time let's listen first not to the TPF's version but someone's else. Great Dusty Springfield's

What an outstanding voice..Such sadness, longing. What a shame that so many people have no idea, never heard about Dusty Springfield, she was an exceptional singer.

'Oh No, Not My Baby' was first released by Maxine Brown in 1964, Billboard's highest number 24. This song is regarded as an American standard, a lot of artists made covers of it. Aretha Franklin, Linda Ronstadt. There are 2 very good covers from 1973. Rod Stewart's was a hit in the UK

And The Partridge Family's..from 'Bulletin Board'. I must say that I like that album more and more, it should be regarded as David Cassidy's solo album really. He sings that standard with such a soul or even bluesy feeling..and also you can hear how he enjoyed singing it, it was fun, and.. he was sure of the girl's feelings..Who could have left David Cassidy in 1973??  David's interpretation and performance of that song is great

The song was used in the episode called 'Double Trouble', from Season 4 . It's one of those episodes where DC looked like a rock star but according to script Keith had troubles to find a date..Very funny. In that episode DC could  really show his acting skills, he is nearly in every scene. 

PS.   Aretha's  great version .

  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...
