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

Kay Lenz, an Actress

Don't get me wrong, I'm not writing today's blog just to gossip about DC's private life, it's because I always admired that amazing woman, Kay Ann Lenz. She had birthday yesterday. 3 years younger than David, a few years older than a typical DC's fan.  In the 70s I heard quite a lot about Kay Lenz . She was very popular in Poland, like the rest of the cast of 'Rich Man, Poor Man'. That tv series was shown in my country I think in 1978, and everybody watched it, also a lot was written about the cast. So one day I read that Kay's husband was a former teen idol, David Cassidy. There was also a pic and I thought that it was just wonderful, I thought they were the most beautiful couple in the world. There was something very moving about Kay. I thought she was different than typical American actress. Such beautiful eyes, but her beauty wasn't an ordinary kind, not for everybody so to speak. When I was a teen I couldn't put in words what I thought a

They Said I Changed A Lot..

Let's first listen to something which was not released, why they didn't want David singing that song is a great mystery for me. Listening to his young, sincere, innocent and magical voice is one in a kind moving experience. You can just imagine David sitting next to you, with his guitar...and.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PbghG6czuw&t=6s Amazing. And of course we believe in David Cassidy and love songs. When I became a real DC's fan in 2018, there was something I used to discuss a lot with my English friend B. How David Cassidy kept changing. A completely different person in each decade. Or even more often. It was something difficult to understand for me. The many faces of David. Each album different from the previous one, different style and even his voice.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4gvxt1WgaA B. thought there was nothing unusual about how David was changing, and I simply didn't follow his career from the beginning, I didn't grow with him, I didn&#

'I Just Hated Being In The Show..'

Last week someone posted a screenshot of the article from May 1974, unfortunately without the date or the name of the paper. Written by a popular journalist Roderick Gilchrist, I think it was Daily Express. We can read that this interview took place at London Weekend Television's Building, on the day before the DC's last concert in Manchester.  And David said, "I feel like the door to the cage has just been opened. And, any minute now I'm going to be able to fly right away from my prison. I can't tell you how happy that makes me feel because I'll be free again.." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG0hjhwKx5s His prison..Of course there have been other teen idols in the history of pop culture, but somehow for those from the 70s it was like someone put a curse on them. Nothing David Cassidy recorded later in life hasn't changed a bit that first opinion some people had of him and his music. My FB friend, Laurie Eby has written, "I researched 'New Y
