Morning Rider On The Road / Tony Romeo

-

The credit should have been plural. Tony Romeo and David Cassidy, because without DC's voice and his interpretation, the song wouldn't be so special. 

At the beginning he is resigned, just telling us a story of his heartbreak, and him being always on the road in search for happiness or at least satisfaction, and.."All at once I met you and you stop me in my tracks', and we can hear and feel his joy..

Tony Romeo found just a perfect singer for his love songs. And I've found this very moving video.

Of course I've written about this song many times, as the readers of my blog know I'm a little obsessed with Tony Romeo, he was such an underrated songwriter and record producer. It's difficult to find more info, so I've been very happy when recently Eamon Cataquiz (on TPF Group) wrote about 'The Trout', and its album released in 1968. The group members were Cassandra Morgan, Frank Romeo and his brother Tony. Produced by..Wes Farrell of course. Tony sang leading vocals on this number. And we can see him in that picture.

Maybe it's the weather, which is hot, stuffy and tiring, and makes me complaining about everything, or the time of the year, but I have the impression that there are fewer of us, David's fans, and with each day David Cassidy and his times are fading into the past. All the time we lose someone who worked or knew him. Soon will be another 21st, that's the way it is and nothing can be done.

We will always remember and never give up. Let him shine..

  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...
