'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..

  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...
