Get It Up For Love / Ned Doheny

-

Side B of the David Cassidy's single, 'I Write The Songs' from July 1975. A killer hit. Wrote in 1974 by a very handsome, another underrated songwiter, singer and guitarist, Ned Doheny. He recorded that song himself in 1976. But something different first. Very important

Mike Read is another celebrity who supports our campaign. Music Walk Of Fame Stone Honour For David Cassidy. Thank you so much. We are so, so grateful. 

Mike Read, another legendary dj, journalist, writer and tv presenter. He worked with Radio 1, he was a television host for Top Of The Pops and children's programme 'Saturday Superstore' (also legendary), and music panel game 'Pop Quiz'. But this is not everything. He is a real renaissance man, he writes songs, sings, performs in musicals and last but not least in 2013 Mike Read and 3 friends founded the British Plaque Trust. Such a busy man, but he's found time for David Cassidy and us, his fans. Let's first see David and Mike Read on Saturday Superstore, March 21, 1985

Mike Read wrote to us yesterday :

'His face smiled from millions of bedroom walls, he sold millions of records and made millions happy. I both worked and socialised with David. We shared many fascinating times over lunch, tea or dinner and he was a guest at my home on occasions. His incredible contribution via songs, theatre and tv unquestionably warrants a place on the Music Walk Of Fame'. Yes, so true. 

But let's return to 'Get It Up For Love'. Such a fabulous song, just irresistible. I've found some enthusiastic reviews from 1975. 'David's latest disk is an unusually rhytmic track (..) the whole thing sizzles with what you need for a top ten perch. David's vocal interpretation of this infectious tune make it hard to miss. Go to it!' (Cashbox Mag, June21, 1975)

And Dave Thompson-' 'Get It Up For Love has a pulsating urgency that utterly overcomes the (deliberate) innuendo of the title..'

So it's really difficult to understand the audience, those girls so lucky to hear that song and be so close to David..

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
