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..

  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...

  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...
