'Let Him Alone Already..'

-

Someone wrote it in a comment about a non-existing (so far) book. With Henry Diltz pics. Join venture with Johnny Ray Miller. Henry Diltz took thousands of David Cassidy's photographs, those professional for teen mags and those truly priceless, private ones. They were friends and David Cassidy trusted him. We have a short video from 1978 with two of them..

Henry Diltz was with David Cassidy on his world tour in 1974, as a photographer and as a musician, but what is the most important for us, he was David Cassidy's loyal friend. I can't imagine that now he would like to cross everything out and show us something he shouldn't. Or wanted five minutes of fame or to earn from this friendship.

He is a true legend, he was inducted into International Photography Hall Of Fame. He doesn't have to prove anything, he doesn't have to do anything. He is famous and he is 83. If he really wants to do such an album dedicated to David..Wow it would be only a labor of love..Of course if such an album is made, it will not be given away for free, for obvious reasons. I just can't imagine an amount of work which should must be done with editing such an album. The cost of paper, printing..everything should be perfect..

And Johnny Ray Miller, the author of 'When We're Singin', a true authority on The Partridge Family and their music, but first of all a fellow fan, someone for whom David Cassidy's legacy is so important. We can be only grateful and hope that such a book will appear. Fingers crossed.

I know that David Cassidy still generates a lot of emotion and each fan has own strong opinions, and we all still love him. I know that sometimes is a very thin line between sth which can be a valuable info and..a gossip. And of course I know that there are people who want to earn money on DC. But not everyone.

Once again Henry and David. Singing together 'Daydream Believer'. In 2013.

    Hi Weronika, thank you so much for this! Yes, I have heard that David and Henry were really great friends since the Partridge Family. Henry took lots and lots of beautiful professional pictures of David. I would be so happy if Henry can make a book of all of the beautiful pictures that he took of David, but without any pictures that David asked him not to publish. I am very happy that Henry was inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame! He really deserves it! I really love hearing what Henry says about David. I never knew that Henry is a musician. The video of David, Henry, and the other gentleman singing "Daydream Believer" is priceless. Thank you so much again!

      Thank you Judy xx Yes, Henry Diltz was a musician first. He played with Modern Folk Quartet, and became interested in photography while being a member of the group. He played on some The Monkees' recording sessions, and he played harmonica during the DC World Tour in 1974.

    Speaking of books, did you say that you wrote a book about David? If yes, have you ever thought of publishing it? I would really love to buy it! Thank you so much again!

      Yes, I have..But I use quite a lot of info from my book writing this blog. I wrote it 4 years ago, and since then my English has improved, and now the book looks rather naive. But, yes I'd love to write one day a DC's biography with a lot of indexes etc.

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
