You Were The First One / Barney Robertson

-

Another song recorded in 1979. I've been trying to find something about that guy, Barney Robertson. There is a musician and producer called BarnyR. who knows..

But something different first. From the FB. Something I've read today, a post from a group suggested for me. With such message : 'Take time to thank a musician today. Because, let's face it, your life would be a living hell without music in it.'. Of course, I'd have been quite another person without music, unhappy and gloomy. And I've thought about our petition. 

So - take time (just a minute ot two) to thank David Cassidy today. Because, let's face it, your life would be.. without his music in it.' Can you imagine your life without the DC's music ? Sign the petition !

But let's return to 'You Were the First One'. One of my top DC's songs to listen to on the beach, preferably a deserted one.. in the evening. There is a magic in that song. And that magic is the DC's voice and the way he sings it. How many times we read and heard that he'd wanted to play rock music, but he was the best, really one and only with love songs. He was so romantic.. David Cassidy was..

There are 13 songs on that CD and all of them are about love. 'Crazy Love', 'Strenghten My Love'. 'It Should Have Been Me', most of them about heartbreak, misery, regret.

My personal favourite  is the song wrote by another David Cassidy's friend, Timothy B. Schmit (Poco, The Eagles). Timothy recorded it with Poco in 1973, it's a great song, even if the lyrics are a little bit complicated, but also so addictive. So, Timothy Schmit first

And now the wonderful David's cover. 'I can see everything, it's all in your smile..'

  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...
