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.

  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...

  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...
