Could It Be Forever / Wes Farrell, Danny Janssen

-

 

I'm still impressed by David's recovered recordings from Spain. It's really a miracle, they have appeared on YT out of the blue. And it's made me wonder why it always looked like that. 

I mean why it's just depends on the case that something appears. Why no one ever thought, someone close to David, that it was worth archiving his career, that it was important. Fans have been doing this for years, The David Cassidy Official Website is huge thanks to them, but basic information is still missing, concerts' set lists for example, we even don't know if all concerts are listed. Enough. That's the way it is and I'm sooo happy we now have those precious videos.

And another thing..Why such a poor, weak response ??? The videos have been on YT for 5 days and just below 1k views each. Jane has published them on the website, she has taken really great screen shots..and after 24 hours not many 'likes', not many comments. I can't understand it really. New videos, and  David in 1973 was beautiful beyond words really, and first of all great quality live recordings. And not many 'likes', views and shares.. Maybe Jane should have explained the meaning of that discovery, but the screenshots and the videos speak for themselves..

'Could It Be Forever' singing live by David in 1973. He sang that hit during his European Tour, interesting if with the famous  'but' or without it. In 1974 this song fell out of his repertoire. In 1985 it was his the UK tour opener.

'Could It Be Forever' is a pop masterpiece, Wes Farrell knew how to create a great hit and he also knew very well his star. David was not only a very talented singer but first of all an actor. It's so audible in that song, a certain theatricality, it could have been great musical number. And not easy to sing. 

It's so moving seeing and hearing 23 year old David Cassidy singing 'Could It Be Forever' on Estelar Del Sabado. He made a mistake, twice sang 'I touched you once, I kissed you once', truly speaking it happened to David from time to time. I think he didn't noticed it, but I'm sure he very consciously omitted the word 'but'. I really prefer that way.

I always remember watching him, that David Cassidy was an actor very aware what impression he made. His smile, his eyes, long lashes..he knew what to do to seduce the audience. But I think on that program he was also very happy himself, it was something unusal for him in 1973, to sing live for no screaming audience, for people who actually listened to him. It was impossible in the UK, and David couldn't appear live on Top Of The Pops. He sang there 'Could It Be Forever' many years later..

  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...
