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)

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
