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..

  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...
