Frosty The Snowman / Walter Rollins and Steve Nelson

'This is a wonderful rendition of this song. Had never really paid much attention to the words until David sang this'. Someone wrote such a comment a few years ago, and it's so true, I absolutely agree, the same.

The way he sang Frosty The Snowman, a popular song wrote in 1950..like it was the most wonderful story in the world, like he thought about each and every word, and probably he did, an actor was singing, young and sensitive, a perfectionist blessed with such a fabulous, magical voice..

The Partridge Family Christmas Card was released 51 years ago. Who writes Christmas cards in 2022 (I do). That album is like a fabulous card from the world which not exist any more. But of course we still listen to it. Like always with David, the songs are bitter-sweet.

There is always that 'touch of blue', sadness, whatever we call it, in many of his songs. Also with those from TPF Christmas Card, not without a reason.

DC : 'Generally, Christmas was one of the saddest times in my childhood because, from the time my parents split up until I started seeing my dad in California, both my mother and father were gone.' (David Cassidy:Could It Be Forever?, 2007)

So I'm listening today to this album at home, it's a lot of snow outside, and really cold, much below 0, probably this year we will have a White Christmas, my grandkids will be so happy. But I also feel sad thinking about those with whom I once spent Christmas and who are gone forever..And I'm thinking about David Cassidy too..

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
