'Yeah, he looks good..'

-

A song first. The beginning of 2023 is truly hard. Sure those people were strangers for us. We haven't known them personally, but they were important. Actually I talked about Jeff Beck on the first date with my future husband. It was 45 ago and I remember everything, every single song we were talking about. Music. It meant a lot.

Lisa Marie..We all remember her as a sweet little girl, we read how she loved The Partridge Family and visited David on the set, we heard her singing her dad 'I Think I Love You'. The money and fame didn't bring her happiness, instead a lot of pain.  It's no wonder we're so sad today. I'm thinking about her mother and her daughters. The whole family.

I've been searching for a DC song and nothing looked right. At last I've found.

But it's something we must be prepared for. It's just the way it is. We are middle- aged and our heroes are old. It's life. Let's return to David, his career and legacy. Love & Light. We are on a mission to keep this flame burning.

January 13th, 1970. The episode of a very popular tv show called 'Marcus Welby, M.D. was aired on ABC. There is a great copy of that episode on YT. I think it was the first time David was wearing his family crest ring, a present from his father.

John McMartin a popular and experienced stage, film and tv actor, and young David who played his son. Both were really very good playing that difficult relationship. Because Michael (the DC's character) had a lot of reasons to hate his father, and the father didn't know how to treat his son neglected by him for such a long time. How they were struggling to destroy that invisible wall between them. Great acting. The same year they met again, DC and John McMartin, on the set of The Partridge Family. The episode nr 5, 'When Mother Gets Married'..

Everybody watched Marcus Welby in January 1970. It was Season 1 and the show was extremely popular.

Charles Laufer: 'David first came to my radar when I saw him doing auxiliary part on the Marcus Welby, MD. He played a sick kid who got cured and he did a good job and I thought - 'Yeah, he looks good.."

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
