'A New David Cassidy..'

-

We have been reading something like that since..truly speaking since DC resigned from his teen idol status in 1974. Of course, we fans know it's impossible. There was only one David Cassidy and not just because how he looked...

Perfection, everything about him, his beauty and sex-appeal. His charm and his style. There was also DC a very complex man and first of all David Cassidy a great, underrated singer. But when someone writes - 'Such and such is a new DC' - that person thinks about David as he was 50 years ago, a worshipped teen idol.

A lot was written about Zac Efron being a new DC, when he was on High School Musical. Born in 1987, he started his career in a musical theatre, later was tv, and the turning point of his career of course High SM, premiered on the Disney Channel in January 2006. David was asked many times what he'd thought about the young actor.

Zac Efron can sing, but he is primary an actor who still fight his pretty boy's image. I know nothing about his career, but I've seen him playing a serial killer Ted Bundy, and he was very good, really scared me.

And today I've read The Times' article. Wrote just 2 days ago by a known music critic, Will Hodgkinson, about Mercury Awards 2022. According to him only one musician could be a winner -'..Really he's the new David Cassidy : pretty, unthreatening, charming, likes to divert into acting.' Harry Styles, who's album 'Harry's House' is this year number one everywhere, all over the world..

It was nice reading it, Harry Styles is a very talented artist and we will never forget what he said in 2014 :

David Cassidy was much more than a teen idol, he should be remembered also as a great singer, not only pop, but also a music icon. PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION

  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...
