David Cassidy In Print. Record Mirror. Part 1

-

The David Cassidy Official Website, that amazing online library, the source of info on David Cassidy. Recently our webmaster Jane has told me that on the website we have - 12380 pages, 25775 photos and 1023 audio/video files. Can you imagine..Unbelievable, and there are still a lot to add, and nearly everyday sth new appears. I know the website pretty well, but of course not everything, and there are some sections I know better and some not so much. Eg there are still quite a lot of the DC's radio interviews I've never listened to. But I can say that I've read most of the articles. 

But maybe a song first. My younger daughter has told me today that the Elton John's remix of 'Cold Heart' is extremely popular now and she enjoys listening to it. And I've told her about Elton and David's friendship and how many, many years ago they performed together on stage. And about 'I'm Still Standing'.

Life is not fair, I have nothing against Elton, on the contrary, but you know what I mean.

So there is a huge section on the website called 'In Print". Books, Songbooks & Sheet Music. Magazines, Newspapers and Web Articles. Chat Transcript. Letters From David. Official DC Newsletters. A lot of people during many years have been working in their free time for other fans, searching for articles, for info, and taking scans. Labour of love.

And this year our collection has been enriched with the articles about David from Record Mirror. It was a weekly, UK music magazine published from 1954 to 1991. Less popular than New Musical Express, but  more involved in pop music. On the website we have more than 50 articles about DC from RM, the first one from March 1972, the last from June 1985. Of course I can't say we have everything, There is not a single article between June 1975 and February 1985, it should have been checked on the Record Mirror online archive, but everything needs time (and sometimes money)

Not every fan has time or know-how well enough to help running  the website, that monument of the David's legacy, but every single fan can and should sign the petition. We need your support. Our labour of love for DC

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
