I Just Wanna Make You Happy / Wes Farrell, Bobby Hart

-

 

It's incredible but I wrote my first blog more than 1 year ago, on December 20th 2020. Since then I've published 258 posts, more than 46 000 views. From all over the world. Today for example I've had a reader from a new country, Ghana..I've been thinking for a good title for today's blog during my morning walk, and I've thought that "I Just Wanna Make You Happy' from the first David Cassidy solo album, 'Cherish', released in 1972, would be perfect. Only back at home I've realized that it's not such an original idea, because  a fragment of that song was already used more than a year ago for one  of the tribute plaques at The Phoenix Garden.

This is truly David Cassidy's place in London, a  magical, secret garden, so wonderful and quiet, so close to busy Charing Cross Rd, and believe me ..you can feel magic there. David Cassidy would have been happy that he is remembered in such a place..He performed in 'Blood Brothers' at The Phoenix Theatre, and in 'Time' at the Dominion Theatre (Tottenham Court Rd). He knew that part of London very well. For a while it was like..home for him.

Yes, Wes Farrell wrote some really wonderful songs for DC, and after all those years this one has got, achieved a new meaning.

"I'll make you smile in no time..Here on the corner where I sing and play..Where I'm the biggest star they've seen today..And that's good enough for me ..And that's what I wanna be..Only wanna make you happy..' For us he was always the biggest star, and we are so lucky being still his fans.

Among the posts I published in 2021 there are better and worse, some are more important. 

First of all those about the David Cassidy Official Website. And I really appreciate posts that have been written in collaboration with other fans.  Because this is a true David's legacy, our friendship, that we work together and we understand each other so well. I'm very satisfied with all the posts wrote about Louise Poynton's podcast. Her guests and her book .All posts wrote by Sharron Liddle, Pauline Tombs, Encarni Perez and Barb Collentine,  I'm so proud those stories are on my blog. I'm so grateful to Lynne Frasche for her interview and information about DC's Official Las Vegas Star Ceremony. Thank you so much.

And  two other posts, truly  magical,  like David himself helped writing them.

The first one was written on the evening I got an email from Jay Gruska. It was such an exciting and unforgettable night for me..

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
