Every Song Is You / Terry Cashman and Tommy West

-

I haven't been a great fan of this song, but recently I've changed my mind. The lyrics like written for DC and only he could have sung this song, with such a feeling and understanding, with his magical, young voice.. 'till the night can smile for the people as I sing and play..'

I'm a member and great admirer of the FB group called The Partridge Family - The Official FB Group For www.cmongethappy.com. The administrator, Scott Awley is such a kind and so professional (can't find better word) person. I've had a pleasure to exchange some thoughts, comments with him, and I'm so impressed by his knowledge and personality, he doesn't pretend he knows everything and it's something I really appreciate. 

The things I've learnt about The Partridge Family reading posts on that group are just priceless. Sure some of them are for people who can be excited (like me) by Call Sheets, and believe me they are fascinating read. Sets, hours, cast, standins, cameramen, a choreographer, a dialogue coach, a set dresser..even drapery man, studio policeman, on location was also a timekeeper. Just wonderful. And the pics from the set. Outstanding.

Once more fragment of 'Every Song Is You', this time from the episode, Season 2, Episode 17, 'Waiting For Bolero'. It looks like Tracy liked this song very much.

And everything is posted with respect for the show and people who made it, worked on it, and also with respect for new fans who don't know so much about The Partridge Family as people who have been fans for nearly 53 years. I'm still learning, I'm still a new fan, I didn't watch The Partridge Family in the 70s. After seeing some DC's pics in Bravo in 1974 or 1975, and hearing one or two songs, I haven't thought about him for many years. I saw the BBC doc 'David Cassidy : Teenage Dream', in December of 1998, but again was another break. When I really started getting to know the DC's music after November 2017, at first I was listening to his the most famous hits, later solo albums, and The Partridge Family was at the end. Everything a little bit in reverse order.

We should always remember that people still discover or rediscover David Cassidy and his music, and that they are from all over the world.

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
