'We Don't Have A Tradition Of Picking On Each Other'

-

That what Shaun said. And David : 'I'm not in a competition with my brother'

Here they are with Petula Clark..I know it's just a commercial, but for all of them, especially for David Cassidy, those were the happy days..

I know that I've written several times about Blood Brothers, we all know everything about it..David and Shaun could have  worked together much earlier, DC in his book even wrote this ' for a couple of years, 1977-79, he (Shaun) had enormous success on TV, with his record and in concert. It would have been a trip if we could have worked together. As it turned out, we had to wait 15 years..'

In 1993 for  Los Angeles Times (Blake Green, September 3), Shaun said :'We've had opportunities to work together before but either we weren't interested or available' and David :' The offers were generally exploitative in nature' . The author of that article wrote : 'The Broadway producers(..) reportedly checked if the real brothers got along. They do, they even hug when they meet after less than a day's separation..' 

. So once more happy David and his younger brother..And this is a whole 'DC and Shaun on Regis', that great conversation and them singing together live..Magic. How not to love those guys..

It was  Shaun's final stage appearance, he started a new very, very successful career as a script writer and producer. Blood Brothers didn't finish his collaboration with David. He helped him to rewritten EFX. Shaun created, co wrote, produced and even wrote a theme music for Ruby And The Rockits..But not everything was going smoothly on the set, and the series was cancelled just after 10 episodes..

Shaun Cassidy currently is an executive producer and writer for 'New Amsterdam' (on NBC since 2018)

And he also plays concerts, and never forgets  about his older brother, David.. and he sings his songs..and the audience cry with him..

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.   I was truly sorry and 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, The Monkees. But we for ever 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, she said about David, "He is just marvellous and really knows how to handle his success.(..) We hit it o...

Labor Of Love / David Cassidy, Sue Shifrin and Michael Dan Ehmig

The lyrics of this song are not related to the topic of today's blog, but its title certainly is.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z-aBmyCX10 Less than 10k views after 12 years. It's a difficult truth, but that's the way it is. Fans want to watch  David's pics and first of all listen to his songs (solo and Partridge Family) from the 70s.  I've finished Johnny Ray Miller's book, 'When We're Singin' The Partridge Family & Their Music', it's worth every penny and it was so wonderful I could get my copy directly from the author's hands. In West Orange. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECXIaBy7Bcw What an extraordinary book! It's labor of love, but not just the author's, but of course we own this book to wonderful Johnny Lee Miller. I can only imagine the amount of time and work needed to write and complete such a book, taking into account all aspects of the phenomenon that it was The Partridge Family. 467 pages full of fascinating...

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,...
