Some People Say I Talk Too Much..'

-

David Cassidy said this in one of the interviews from 2015. But talking, showing up, telling his story was a very important part of his work.

I wrote yesterday about David Cassidy's TV guest appearance on 'Alive and Well' from 1982, and of course when I published that entry I started watching other videos. Amazing. 

There are more than 600 TV programs listed on The David Cassidy Official Website, different kinds, including the most famous American and British talk shows, morning programs, music, game and children shows, on which David guest starred during his long career. 

He was interviewed by the most known tv personalities, he talked and sang, he entertained the audience, hugged the fans, even cooked..He was asked the same questions all over again. He promoted his music, his shows, his work. And it only looks so easy, because most of those shows had scripts, there were rehearsals, make up, it was another demanding, acting task. 

And yesterday night I saw some forgotten videos. Forgotten by me. Like this short one, from 1987.

Wow..I can imagine him, so young and excited. David was great on 'Bonanza'.

Or that one, just priceless, from 1984, about fans who came from Europe to see David in 'Jesus Christ Superstar', and first of all we can see some fragments of that outstanding show.

So we have a list of the shows, I have no idea if the list is complete, unfortunately some of those shows are lost. Do you know that in 1979 David together with Kay Lenz guest starred on Good Morning America? I wish..But miracles happen, and recently the video appeared that was even hard to dream of..  Watching David singing live on Estelar Del Sabado. For me it's still just unbelievable.

Who knows, maybe we will have more such miracles in the future..

These programs are proof of what an extraordinary human being and artist David Cassidy was..

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
