Since I Fell For You / Buddy Johnson

-

What a title, just for us, the DC fans all over the world. So many things happened since I fell for DC, his voice and him, David Cassidy as he was, the real man. I love his music, but I've never been a fan of that particular song, the  DC's cover of 'Since I Fell For You'.

I've decided to have one more try. I've read the lyrics..'You made me leave my happy home' and 'I can't get you out of my heart'. Btw whether David ever sang about happy love? No heartbreaks, no doubts, just I love you and you love me and we are very happy together and forever. Maybe some Partridge Family's songs were like that.

But let's return to 'Since I Fell For You', the DC version and really wonderful video

Maybe 'live' will be better, so many David's songs were even better when performed live. And at last I've found something really extraordinary, and of course fell for David once more..

With Frank Fabio behind him..And Omaha Symphony Orchestra. David gave 3 special shows with the Orchestra at Holland Performing Arts Center, Omaha, NE, on Feb 11, 12 and 13, 2011. And we are very lucky that one fan who saw those concerts, wrote a review for the website. Such memories, with so many details are just priceless, and those pics. We are so grateful for sharing with us.

Last but not least - the original. A blues ballad composed by Buddy Johnson in 1945. A Big Band number, just fabulous, what a recording, and Ella Johnson's (the composer's sister) singing. I've never heard about them and that original version of 'Since I Fell For You'. Thank you David Cassidy (again)

  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...
