All I Wanna Do Is Touch You / Irwin Levine, L. Russell Brown

-

Irwin Levine (1938-1997) and L. Russell Brown (born in 1940), who wrote also for TPF, 'Am I Losing You' and of course 'I Woke Up In Love This Morning'.

 'All I Wanna Do Is Touch You' was released as the  B-side of 'Cherish', in September 1971. The single hit no 9 on US charts on November 13, 1971, and stayed on the charts for 11 weeks. It was David's only US Top 10 hit..

This is my one of the best 'sing along with David' song, it's so unpretentious, always makes me smile. Someone has written (in comment) - 'I blush everytime I hear the song'..I don't know what she's been thinking about, but I always think about the time when I was a teen and life was simple and..exciting.

But I've thought about this song today while seeing another pic posted on our DC Great Britain Legacy Group. Another pic with David and a fan, or two fans. Or more. Fans hugging David, all smiling. And these captions under the photos. 'The one and only..'. 'My first love..', 'My first crush..'  Louise Poynton's book. 'Cherish : David Cassidy - A Legacy Of Love' is full of such stories, told by fans, for whom meeting David Cassidy in person was the unforgettable experience. Something that cannot be compared with anything..

Something cherished.

'You don't know how many times I wish .' and  'I will sing for each and every one of you..'

This is amazing that David always understood how it was important for each of us. For every fan. This personal contact. It was also a great responsibility for him. He didn't want to disappoint any fan. David said in 2002 - ' My relationship with my fans is truly extraordinary..' And in 2017 after his last concert - 'Thank you for all of it. For all the decades. I don't think I do. I know I love you.'

  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...
