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.

  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...
