David And..Sheena

-

I found that article yesterday just while searching for something else. A publicity photo caught my attention. David and Sheena Easton, we know how that story ended, you can't find much chemistry in that pic, but a lot about that 'mutual excitement' was written in the article. You can read it here. (and see the pic)

Of course it was just the beginning of that project. The show 'At the Copa', another David Cassidy - Don Reo joint venture, was performed at Rio Hotel, (in Las Vegas of course), from January18th 2000 to January21, 2001, but already at the end of the summer of 2000 it was obvious that something is not working. No chemistry, or even worse. 'One insider says the two are no longer on speaking terms..'(Sep 23, 2000, The Las Vegas Sun). 

Let's watch that exciting advert for the show

Lon Bronson's 18-piece band was superb, and very professional dancers (with Candace Davis- Martin who later would tour with DC and did backing vocals on 'Then And Now' album).

I must admit I never heard about Sheena Easton in the early 80s. We had martial law in Poland, we fought with regime forces on the streets, we listened to another kind of music. Very angry..hard rock and punk mostly. I just can't remember her hits. So yesterday I checked Sheena on YT, and wow.. she was very popular, even sang the Bond's theme song, one video has more than 23 million views.

I don't know. So better return to 'At The Copa' .

There was a lot of publicity, DC and Sheena appeared on some tv programs, but we don't have any of them on the website. A lot of reviews appeared, and one journalist wrote something important : 'One thing that happens in this show and can't be helped is when Cassidy does his hit songs, you authomatically put the Partridge Family aura around him which detaches you from his Flamingo character for a while.' (March19, 2000, Arizona Republic Sun)

Oh yes, that was great and obviously the right time to return playing concerts. We should be grateful to Sheena. When she left David finished the second year of his contract with Harrah's Entertainment by performing concerts at other Harrah's properties. He had more time for his family, in August the first David Cassidy Day at the Races took place in Saratoga,  and that year he played a lot of great concerts, also in the UK. That was a great comeback of David Cassidy a singer and a superstar..

  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...
