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..

The second post..A short story I'm very proud of, wrote with Sharron Liddle. We should write something more together.

Thank you..David Cassidy.

  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...
