'He Was So Pretty You Couldn't Look Away..'

-


I've wanted to write about something else. Not about young David's beauty.  Actually about the Music Walk Of Fame in Camden Town, in London. I've talked about it with Pauline Tombs, and she's sent me a lot of info. They (MWOF) even last year wrote on their FB page about David, the teen idol, and that unforgettable Weekend At Wembely..

It always amazes me, that difference between David a teen idol, a superstar, so gentle and caring for his young fans, and the real person, so eloquent and aware and sophisticated..Anyway, let's return to Camden's Music Walk Of Fame. and the things I've learn thanks to Pauline.

The London's Music Walk Of Fame was opened in November  2019. When completed, the walk is set  to feature over 400 artists - those important for Camden and also national and international icons, innovators, inspirations, visionaries within the industry and...unsung heroes. So far only 4 artists were honoured - The Who, Madness, Soul II Soul and Amy Winehouse. 400..

Pauline Tombs :'A stone placed for David Cassidy now that would be something! It's up to us to make it known to the committee the impact of David Cassidy on a Generation and bring him to their attention, for consideration. This can be done in message or email on their FB Page!'

On the stone which honours The Who is only the name of the band, and the words 'Icon. London, England. November 2019'..

David Cassidy was one of the biggest teen idols in the history of music. We know also that he was much more, and every day I find new articles and read for I don't know how many times, how huge and important he was..This is a fragment wrote by Aja Romano (Vox) in 2017 :

'David Cassidy was an anomaly in his day, a rare fresh-faced teen idol breaking out in a cultural moment when generational disaffection and cultural anxieties were producing very different rock icons. When people think of '70s singers, they tend to gravitate first to rougher rock icons like Mick Jagger or Sid and Nancy. Yet Cassidy, on the pop side of the '70s was one of the biggest artists of the decade.'

And his beauty?  Kevin Fallon :'He was so pretty you couldn't look away, but he was also sexy in a way that is timeless, not 'Can you believe you ever found that attractive?' but 'Why don't they look like that anymore?'(..) Cassidy, one of the biggest and perhaps most iconic of modern music's teen idols'

Those fragments are from articles found only today.. You are right Pauline, this can be done!

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
