'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!

  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,...

'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...
