Singing For David

-

When David Cassidy died in November 2017 I thought that sth would be organized in his memory. A concert maybe.. Not on a global scale of course, but so many people all over the world, fans, also  celebrity ones, people who worked with him or his friends, all of them wrote about their sorrow and  sadness and regret  that he'd left us much too soon. 

Many, many people, a real tsunami of millions of tweets and posts. It was so devastating and difficult to understand. How it was possible, that someone once so beautiful, someone so loved, who brought such  joy and happiness ..that he died.

I was waiting with  other fans, for something... big. David himself took part in  many charity or tribute concerts during his lifetime. So many in his family could sing, and of course so many of his friends. It couldn't be that complicated and difficult to organize such concert, I thought. Of course money was needed, but millions of fans would have paid for a DVD or an album. I don't know why nothing has happened.. We fans, have done everything what was possible. But I'm still waiting for an album. David recorded an album for his father, he was in such pain but he wanted to do it, why  couldn't his brothers do something like that. Shaun Cassidy sings beautifully 'I'll Meet You Halfway' and 'Tell Me It's Not True'..

And I would love to have one other album. Fans singing for David. Already have 2 candidates for such a tribute record. The first one is an amazing and very moving version of 'Twenty-Four Hours A Day', thought as a tribute song for DC. The author, DrQuizzler wrote - 'As simple as this song is, it's a great testament to the ability of David Cassidy's engaging performance to transcend its simplicity'.

And the second one..I  I had tears in my eyes when I was listening to it for the first time. A fellow fan from our David Cassidy Legacy Great Britain Group. Sandie Leeming singing "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do.' .So beautiful and full of love ..

  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...

  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...
