There'll Come a Time / David Cassidy

The song first.

Oh yes, we took a good look and we knew he wasn't a circus clown.

David was smiling singing this song. Of course Keith smiled a lot on stage, but this time it was David performing, rather than Keith (you know what I mean), and he was soo happy. His own song, without the Wes's name in credits. At least that one time.

Time..he was only 22 (that episode was aired in March 1973. He had a whole life ahead of him. He was young, beautiful, rich and famous. We don't think about time when we are young or that one day we will be..old. Science fiction. But that song was recorded more that 48 years ago and today I've been thinking about TIME a lot. Since I've read that yesterday Michael Barratt died. He was 94.

A lot of tributes, obituaries.. everywhere. He started his career very early, as a tea boy and horoscope writer on Sunday Mail. Best known as a main presenter on Nationwide from 1969 to 1977. For us, the David Cassidy's fans, the man who interviewed David in February 1972. The first DC's tv  interview in the UK. 21 year old superstar, a beautiful American boy who for a second didn't forget about the responsibility and his image, and very experienced 44 year old journalist, who usually interviewed politicians, not teen idols..

They talked once again, in May 1974, in different circumstances. David, older and much more sure of himself, a huge star in the UK, just before his last the World Tour's concerts, so eloquent, explaining why he wanted to resign. This time Michael Barratt knew perfectly well who his interlocutor was..and I think he really liked him and was intrigued.

  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...
