'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.

Robyn Millan

  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...
