There'll Come A Time / David Cassidy

-

But first sth I've read about only today. Nothing important, but as you know I'm a huge America's  fan. And it's a very short note from Cash Box magazine from 12 July, 1975. It was published on the DC Official website - that DC during the America's  concert in Honolulu  was brought on stage by the group to join in singing 'Horse With No Name'. Wow ! I have no idea is it true or not, but I can imagine it. And Dan Peek left the group in May 1977..If only..Let's listen to David's and Gerry Beckley's song, one of my fav from 'Gettin It In The Street.. They should  have written and recorded more together..

So 'There'll Come A Time'. DC wrote some songs for TPF, with and without Wes Farrell, and 3 of them appeared on TPF's albums,  co wrote with Wes - Lay It On The Line ( Up To Date, 1971), 'Love Is All That I Ever Needed' (Sound Magazine, 1971) and his own - 'There'll Come A Time' (Shopping Bag, 1972). 

DC wrote about that collaboration : 'During the four years I was recording TPF albums, I was never allowed to become the songwriter I should have been because of the control that Wes Farrell had. I did write a few songs on those albums, but I'd usually have to write with Wes (..) Part of the reason was money and at times I blamed Wes's ego, although he was good at what he did and I was young and inexperienced.' (David Cassidy : Could It Be Forever?, 2007)

That song DC wrote all by himself - music and lyrics.

Again he was smiling but those lyrics..I'm not a circus clown..The song was used for the episode "The Selling of the Partridges' (S3E23, aired March 9, 1973). Of course the storyline wasn't very original, had been used on other tv series, but I think the script was very good  and it was an opportunity for  DC to have sth more to act, sth more interesting.

When once my son-in-law asked me to show him 1 TPF episode I chose this one. He liked it and was disappointed that  this topic - Keith as the president of student-body at San Pueblo High, wasn't continued. Yes, me too. Also because of Holly Near, who played Phyllis Goldberg, later Holly became a very known activist, a songwriter, producer, actress,  but first of all a wonderful singer herself..

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
