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..

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
