Together We're Better / Tony Romeo, Ken Jacobson

-

Very unusual Tony Romeo's song because he didn't write it all by himself. His co-writer was Ken Jacobson ( the real name Kenneth Jacobson), who according to AllMusic has 225 credits as a songwriter. Haven't found much about him ( have to buy myself Johnny Ray Miller's book at last!). He was born in 1930, died in March 2012, 2 days after his 91 birthday..

It's one of those songs that only David could sing and he did a great job. I always smile while listening to it, from the start to finish. From TPF Notebook album, twice on the tv series.  I prefer this one :

And I've thought about this song because of the wonderful gift all of the David Cassidy's fans have got from Timm McCoy. And of course it's not the first one he gave us. His 'David Cassidy Day 2018' is always with me, on my phone. 13 hours of DC's music. Now we've got amazing photographs. And not one or two. 50! And will be more!

We've already had some photograps from the same concert, taken by Autumn Bonner, with a short review written by her, and a set list. 

I'm so happy and grateful that Timm McCoy has given that amazing, entire picture collection to Jane and that means he has given them to all of us, regardless if we are on social media or not. Because not all fans are on FB, Instagram, Twitter or any other social service. I know quite a lot who are not. For many different reasons, and for those fans The Official David Cassidy Website is the only source of information about David, the only way to continue being a fan, and it's a shame that fans stopped writing comments on the main page. There are many wonderful groups on FB ( I belong to quite a few), but The DC Official Website is the most important. 

Thank you very much Timm McCoy.

PS. And PLEASE sign the petition.

Btw. I was asked yesterday why that petition and London's Music Walk Of Fame was so important. I love what a fellow fan Rose Cortez wrote when she's signed  it : 'David Cassidy was a great talent  who has continually been overlooked for his many contributions to music. It's time he is recognized and nominated.".Exactly!

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
