Talking About David

-

First a song, an unreleased one, btw it's quite a long list, the songs didn't release by Bell. Those which were on the show but didn't appear on a PF album, among them real gems. 'Find Peace In Your Soul', 'Listen To The Sound', 'It's Time That I Knew You Better', 'I'm Into Something Good', 'Crying In The Rain'..and when we think about the demo tapes, lost for us forever. Who knows how many. That's sad. Really, The Partridge Family is one of the 'lost' bands of the 70s. And of course so underrated.

So the song, written by John Bahler, Wes Farrell and Tony Asher, Season 4, Episode 7, first aired on October 27, 1973. 'The Last Howard', a special episode in every respect, also because we know quite a lot about making of it, thanks to Bruce Kimmel, and we have a short video from the set, and last but not least, there are some great photographs thanks to Henry Diltz.

Only David could do this trick, he performed a sad or a serious  song and at the same time made people happy. Because it's a song about love without a future, but who cares really, we look at the smiling, gorgeous David and we smile too..

Talking about David, it's also my blog's address, and it's what we do everyday, we keep talking (writing) about him. This is so important part of keeping his legacy alive. 

The discussions we have, sometimes they are very agitated, emotional, we all have own strong opinions. Respect is a key word, first of all for David. It's also very educational, I learn a lot from fans' comments, there are people who knows everything about David, all dates and names, connections, stories, it's just unbelievable. 

On the other hand there are fans who don't know basic things so it's worth to write about David, his career and his legacy all over again. And tell those fans where they can find information, where to listen to his music, where to watch his films, how to buy DVD's online. Also how to cope with a technology changes, it's very important. It shouldn't be a barrier. We are middle aged, some of us retired, and not everybody has help at home, kids or grandkids. We should be  patient and kind for each other.

One more unreleased song, the lyrics not very suitable for Tracy, Chris and Danny..

And the link to the page on The David Cassidy Official Website where you can read about 'The Last Howard', and first of all what Bruce Kimmel wrote in his book about his Partridge Family experience and his friendship with David Cassidy.

Robyn Millan

  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...
