If I Didn't Care / Jack Lawrence

-

I wrote the last entry 2 days ago, very short one about Olivia Newton-John's passing..And I thought that my next one would be called - '1000'. 1k signatures signed for David Cassidy, Music Walk Of Fame Artist Stone Honour. But we still don't have that number and who knows how long it will take to achieve that very modest goal. I've written about it several times, nothing more to say really. 

We cherish each person who has signed and especially those who's found time to write something. Why David deserves that recognition. We know why..Especially the UK's fans should  know and remember

'If I Didn't Care', David's #9 hit in the UK, in May 1974. An extraordinary DC's cover of that very successful song. The Ink Spots recording from 1939 became the 10th best selling single of all time with over 19 million copies sold. Can you believe it? I got to know this song thanks to David. Let's listen to The Ink Spots

It's a very beautiful song of course, great voices, and we must remember it was recorded 83 years ago, it's not our music even if we can appreciate the melody, the lyrics and the voice. 

The David's version is different. The arrangement is maintained in a retro atmosphere, but for me David's version is timeless. Unlike The Ink Spots he doesn't talk about his love to his friends..he is alone..I don't know why, but when I hear that song I always imagine DC walking alone on the beach asking himself that question..'If this isn't love that why do I thrill?..'

We know that we care. And why. PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION

    Hi Weronika, thank you so much for sharing this! This is one of my favorite David songs! While playing my David records back in my teens, my Mom really enjoyed hearing this song. She said that the Ink Spots sang it back in...I never knew that they recorded it back in 1939! My Mom was only 9 years old then. Somehow, I thought that the Ink Spots were from the 1950's or something. Even though I love David's and the Partridge Family's songs, I always enjoy when I hear David and the Partridges sing the "Oldies But Goodies." Sadly, my parents were not big fans of David and the Partridge Family, but they were always glad when they sang the "Oldies But Goodies." It reminded them of their "Good Old Days" of their youth, and it always made them happy. I am happy that David also sang some songs from our parents' era, which made them happy. Thank you so much again for this wonderful blog, and for sharing these wonderful videos with us!

Robyn Millan

  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...
