Keeping Our Love Alive / Richard Supa

-


The fans got this song (and another one) from David Cassidy's second wife, Meryl Tanz. You can't find a lot of info about them, and those songs are not on the list on the DC Official Website (I don't know why). Have no idea who wrote them. All credits go to Meryl Ann Tanz. The songs were recorded in 1982, in Nashville, and released in 2019 by Meryl Tanz. We can find two notes about those recordings on the website, in 'In Print' section. So on September 18, 1982, CashBox Magazine

"..Also in Nashville has been David Cassidy of Partridge Family fame, returning from a six-year hiatus from recording to work on a new LP at Sound Emporium with Larry Butler producing.' 

On January 27, 1983, on The Lethbridge Herald:

"David Cassidy just completed a country-and western vocal album in Nashville.'. Larry Butler was (he died in 2012 ), a known country music producer, songwriter and pianist. He worked with Kenny Rogers.

So.."Keeping Our Love Alive)

and the second one, 'Life Of a Fool'

I've read all comments..What can I say, I understand that all fans wrote how they had loved those songs. We love everything what DC recorded, and sure his voice was fabulous..but personally I think that even in 1982 those songs were like from another past era, and sang by someone..old,  and after all David was only 32. It took him another 2 years to start working on a new, this time very exciting  material, and on a new sensational image.

David Cassidy didn't mention his unreleased recordings, he wasn't happy when in 1991, 'Best of David Cassidy' CD was appeared with the songs recorded in 1979. Of course in 1991 he was a recording successful artist again, and he played completely different music. And he never mentioned those Nashville's recordings. I understand why, but I think now situation is different. We want, we need those songs..for many different reasons.

And 'Keeping Our Love Alive', the title of that song is so symbolic now, nearly 5 years after his passing.

Our PETITION, The London Music Walk Of Fame, not doing great recently, but we will not give up so easily

  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...
