All Because Of You / Sue Shifrin, Jon Lind

-

It could have been a world hit. For Cher in 1989. A song from her multi platinum album, 'Heart Of Stone'. But it wasn't released as a single.

A year later David Cassidy recorded it as a duet with his future wife. I can hear their joy and happiness of working together, singing together. If someone doesn't know English, he might think that this is a very joyful song.

Maybe 'Crazy Over You' should have been on that album, instead of a song already known, but it's a testimony of their happiness, and  Sue Shifrin was a very talented songwriter.

It's a shame that some fans have no idea about the songs Sue Shifrin wrote, but know better how  David Cassidy's private life looked like.

Anyway I've thought about that songs while reading  about The London Music Walk Of Fame Criteria. DC meets the criteria on more than one count. Music Icon of course and Inspirational. He inspired many people in music business and in the horse breeding industry.

But who knows maybe the most important was and is how he inspired I don't know how many people all around the globe, just ordinary fans, boys and girls, men and women, to be more interested in music. To start singing, playing instruments, or just get to know more about the history of music.

I haven't started playing guitar again, like my friend Claudette, but because of David Cassidy I've learned so much about music and I'm so grateful for it. Because I was brought up in a communist country I knew only what I was allowed to know. It can be said that David Cassidy complemented my musical education and it's given me a lot of pleasure and..yes, made me happy.

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
