'David Cassidy Owned And Worn Jumpsuit..'

-

There is a section on the David Cassidy Official Website called Biography. It consists of the following parts : Biography (a short one). The Early Years (just a few pics), Charities and Fundrising, Racing, Interesting Facts (a little mess there), Public Speaking, Public Appearances and Awards.

This evening while doing sth for the website I've had to look at Charities and Fundrising. Wow so many events, I'm sure not everything is listed. And I've left my work and started reading. Just amazing. The events organized by DC and Sue, 'A Day At The Races', or 'The David Cassidy Golf Tournament', Kosovo Children, Voices That Care, Stand And Be Proud... 

'Sondheim a Celebration', that concert took place on March 8, 1996, and it was to benefit the AIDS Service Centre and AIDS Healthcare Foundation. Very special, important event for DC, also because  that evening he sang with his brothers, Shaun and Patrick ('You Can Drive a Person Crazy').  And he sang  once more, solo. 'Sooner Or Later' from 'Dick Tracy', and this is sth absolutely special, his amazing, sensual interpretation. We have a great quality recording of that performence on the website..

The charity auctions, where so many DC's personal items were sold. His concerts' outfits, as they were called: 'David Cassidy Owned And Worn Jumpsuits', how well we know them from thousands of pics. The one with Aztec Figure and 'embroidered sunburst to the right buttock'. How wonderfully DC looked in it in London, in 1973, and how not attractive it was on the mannequin..It was sold in May 2013 for $ 15.000. All proceeds from that sale were donated to the Alzheimer's Association of America. You can see the list of the items, how they looked like and the prices at which they were sold.

The similar auction was on December 16, 2006..More 'David Cassidy Owned And Worn Jumpsuits' and also 'DC Owned And Worn Overalls' he had on during the live concert at the Malbourne Cricket Grounds in 1974. The velvet stripped jacket he wore during some concerts in the 70s and the honeymoon with Kay, and many more personal items.

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
