My Number 1

-

No, not my fav the DC's song. It's just not possible, I love 98% of  everything he ever recorded. I can only say what song is my number 1 today. And today is 'Breaking Down Again'. Such a wonderful song, and in 1976 everybody had great expectations..David and the RCA's guys. From David's liner notes (btw we are so lucky that he took time to write them)

DC : '..I was sittin' at the keys and working on that idea and Bill (House) strolled up real casual like, as is his style and we just wrote it. Where I got a void - he'd fill right in. The easiest song I ever wrote. Bill was originally going to sing one of the harmonies, but neither of us could cut the high past like Gloria could, bless her soul, and I do mean soul.(..)..it's just easy singin' with your friends - especially if they're cute. Shake it darlin'.'

It's so moving, the song and those words young David Cassidy, so full of hope,  wrote for us so many years ago. Gloria..she was cute and very professional. I read somewhere that she died young..drugs.

I haven't got a breakdown, no..but I haven't been very happy either. You know - The Petition. The London Music Walk Of Fame.  David said in 1972  - "I like to think that my fans go for my music not my face'. But what if he was wrong ? We keep writing how underestimated, great singer David was. So I've decided to make some changes the way my blog looks like and to check which of my entries was the most popular. My number 1. 

 .https://talkingaboutdavid.blogspot.com/2022/03/kay-lenz-actress.html

And my number 1 blog is the one posted in March this year, called 'Kay Lenz, an Actress' And in top 5 was an entry wrote by Sharron (The Phoenix Theatre) and about Suzanne Crough. And of course the one called 'I Kissed David'. And the one wrote by Wendy Copeland about The Las Vegas Ceremony.

Do I have any conclusions ? No..only that I will keep writing about DC and his music.

AND PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION

    I loved Gloria's voice...so sad she left us in her early age.

      Yes, we can hear her on 3 DC's albums. And 'Breakin' Down Again' it's such a powerful song. Why some songs become known hits and some don't ? It's not worse than eg Eric Carmen's 'All By Myself'..

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...
