Sound Magazine

I'm a little disappointed after my yesterday's blog about the Music Walk of Fame in London. So much work, some talking first with Sharron, the first draft wasn't good, I was carried away a little bit and wrote a kind of fairy tale about David (funny really), later  gathering all that info, writing again and it wasn't easy, and the result -  just 2 persons more who signed the petition..I'm sure there are more David's fans than 666..Or maybe others don't believe he will ever get such recognition..

And of course there are fans who don't understand why  DC should be remembered. I know such fans, English ones. :

 'It was half a century ago..In the 70s you weren't interested in music played in the 20s Weronika, and now you want people start listening to DC again?'

'I know there will not be new fans, but he should be more known, more appreciated  I don't like when people say  : 'David Cassidy? First heard'. Or even worse  - 'David Cassidy? This pretty boy from the 70s? Long hair and pukka shells? My grandmother loved him' . But people heard about ..for example Donny O. or Rod Stewart'.

'Oooo Rod, sure everybody heard about him. But Rod  been performing for so many years, and he had so many hits (and wives)'. We had a lot of such conversations in May, when I was in the UK.

And I'd love people appreciate not only David Cassidy, a singer and a performer, and his solo work, but also TPF's music. The real, wonderful musicians who recorded those fabulous songs with DC. 'Sound Magazine' for example, it's one of the best pop albums from the first part of the 70s. And can you find it on any list of the best albums of that era. NO. I know, I've checked. And I've checked the bestselling albums of 1970, 1971 and 1972 too. The highest was The Partridge Family Album, number 104 with more than 500 000 sold copies..Time for some music. From Sound Magazine, how difficult to choose just one song, I love all of them,

and a  cover of that song, the author of it wrote : 'as simple as this song is, I think it's a great testament to the ability of David Cassidy's engaging performance to transcended it's simplicity..'

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
