50 months..

That's a lot of time.The world has changed from November 2017. This big one and that personal. We have new leaders and we face new challenges, At the time DC passed away I learnt that I would be a grandmother, and now my grandsons are big, healthy boys. Time doesn't stand still for anyone..and we can't go home again..

Recently two artists have died and I read that they've gone too soon. One was 73 and the other 74 years old..

Jon Lind, the co- writer, with Sue Shifrin, of 'All Because Of You'. Jon Lind died from cancer on January 15th . The song was first recorded by Cher, appeared on her hit album 'Heart Of Stone' in 1989.  4 singles were released, and 'All Because Of You' was side B of 'Heart Of Stone' ( January 1990). David Cassidy recorded his version for his self-titled album released in October 1990. Don't ask me why, I wish I knew. Why not 'Crazy Over You' instead? But 'All Because Of You'  is of course a very good pop song, I love the way they sing it , they were so happy at that time, Sue and David..

David and Sue wrote some really outstanding songs together, it's impossible to say which one is my favourite. I love 'Boulevard Of Broken Dreams'. 'For All The Lonely' and 'One True Love' are simply wonderful, 'I'll Never Stop Loving You' is of course another great number (co-wrote with John Wetton) also 'Like Father, Like Son ( with S. Diamond). And last but not least, and I truly love everything about this song, the music, lyrics, arrangment and DC's voice, mature and..sexy - 'Tell Me True'..

Marvin Lee Aday, known as Meat Loaf, died only yesterday. I can't say that I've ever listened to his music, but of course I know how popular he was, also in Poland. And I also know that Sue Shifrin in the 80s, wrote a song for him ( with Terry Britten). She really was a very good songwriter..once.

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..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...
