Crazy Over You / David Cassidy

-

Yes, it's an amazing  song, so full of passion and desire..why it wasn't released on the David Cassidy self-titled album in 1990 ? For example instead of not so exciting, truly speaking average 'All Because Of You' (co-wrote by Sue Shifrin)  And what's more 'All Because Of You' was Cher's hit in 1989, so why and what for?? We will never know..

But it was a mistake, because  'Crazy Over You'.. there is something in it, this song is so addictive, it begins seemingly so calmly and innocently, but little by little..you can't stop listening..David Cassidy at his best. Great  voice, powerful and sexy, intensity and emotion..a hit rock number..

The lyrics of that song has been added to the David Cassidy Official Website recently. And you have no idea that it actually took a lot of emails and a lot of work before it was possible. It only looks so easy to do, I've tried but failed, and at last Doreen Walker has made it, but even she is not not sure with one line. And Doreen is the best at that kind of work, she is very precise, inquisitive and patient. And we owe her not only this lyrics, but  she also made something really extraordinary - the transcript of DC's liner notes from 'Home Where The Heart Is' album cover. How many times I tried to decode  David's handwriting... Many! I was soo happy when at last I could read it, thanks to Doreen. It's a great read,  David Cassidy  shares with us very personal thoughts and hopes about those recordings.

Doreen or I are only two of many who have done something for the David Cassidy Official Website over the years. It's a great honor and satisfaction to have own share. And every little thing counts. Every article found, every scan, a concert set list, or a pic. Every kind of memorabilia. Every corrected mistake. Fans work hard and they do it for David and other fans, not for own personal glory. There is no place for 'this is mine', or 'I've found it' attitude. No, we are Team David. All fans. All and each fan can do something.

In fact it's only up to us, fans, whether or not David Cassidy's legacy will be preserved. We should remember about it.

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
