Living A Lie / David Cassidy and Gerry Beckley

-

 

It was Jane's, our webmaster, a brilliant idea. To put links to songs in the Lyrics section. I love how one thing leads to another, inspiration and ideas we have. It's always like that and we always have more ideas than time to actually develop and realize all of them. Anyway this one is just great.

From time to time someone asks me 'Ok, so you are a die hard David Cassidy fan, you've just told me he was not only a pretty face but first of all one of the most underrated singers in the history of music. What song do you suggest to start with?' or I've heard a few times : 'I've checked your David, but that 'I Think I Love You' is for kids. Do you really like it?'.That's the problem with David, he could sing everything, he's sung such different songs in his career, his voice kept changing. 

And I know there are still new fans, even quite young, who don't know many things about David, they have just started learning about him, and don't know all his songs. They are from all over the world, not only English speaking countries. Now they can check each song on the Website's Music/Lyrics section, credits and other info, read the lyrics and listen to the fragment of the song, and if they want to listen to the whole song, they can do it on Spotify or find a song on YT. 

Jane has just started, so far updated songs from 2 albums - Gettin' It In The Street' and 'Romance', and I love the way those pages look now, and that we have the opportunity to read lyrics and listen to the song.

To show you one of those updated songs I have chosen Living a Lie, one of my fav DC track from the 70s. Amazing lyrics, so sad and moving, and sophisticated,  matching the music just wonderfully. The sound is great..I love it.

  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...

Love Is All That I Ever Needed. A David Cassidy Biography. Chapter 1

  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...
