'We Are Not Sure We've Ever Seen the Real David Cassidy'

-

A long title. It's a fragment of a web article published 23 years ago, actually on January 21, 2000, a review from 'a soft opening' of 'At The Copa' show, called :

 'Cassidy offers sampling of several personas in Rio show.' 

The author liked the show, 'is an amalgam of good ingredients', even if he (or she, I don't know)  thought the show wasn't very original, and tickets too expensive. We have videos on the website of the show itself, articles, and 2 very interesting adverts. One with DC and his co-star -

And the other one..just with David

Yes, in spite of what David and Sheena told in many interviews, there was no chemistry, or even worse. We can find some notes about 'two duelling egos'' backstage, and some people thought that Candace Davis-Martin, one of those sexy, very professional dancers, was actually better than Sheena, and there was a great chemistry between her and David. Sometimes she replaced Sheena on stage..

There are also some videos on YT, of course not good quality, but we are so grateful that we have the opportunity to watch and listen to David. He was 50 and looked at least 10 years younger. Charismatic and..sexy. Here we can listen and watch DC singing 'That Old Black Magic' (called love of course), and like always he added something from himself, and that was incredible really. Because this is very famous song  recorded by Sammy Davis Jr or Judy Garland, and even MM sang that in 'Bus Stop'..

Amazing. The author of the article only saw David Cassidy performing in Las Vegas (I think so), in EFX, 'The Rat Pack Is Back' and 'At The Copa', and asked about the real DC : 'Is his on-stage persona just a collection of well-chosen deviratives?'. And what we are to say. We, who knows so many faces of David Cassidy..

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
