 First Jack Cassidy

Recently my FB friend, Sandie Leeming has written a comment on my blog, that the most important part of David Cassidy legacy is friendship. And I've thought to myself that yes, of course friendship, I myself have some very close friends met because of DC, but for me his music is the most important. The world can only remember him as a pop icon, but for me first of all  David Cassidy was a great, underrated singer.

However, recently, I've been thinking a lot about Sandie's words.

Our friendship.. That connection we, his fans, feel and experience. That we care about each other. That support and empathy. That we are kind to each other, how important it is. Louise Poynton called her book, 'David Cassidy A Legacy Of Love'. Love And Light, we often write these words. Who could have thought in the early 70s, that after half a century, nearly 6 years after his death, how that legacy of love would turn out to be so important for all of us.

David Cassidy used to write letters to his fans. Sometimes he wrote about difficult matters, misunderstandings, but whatever he wrote about, while reading his letters, we can feel his love, how much he cared.

The letter from David, December 25, 2010 :

'The outpouring of love and support that I've received from all over the world has been nothing short of amazing and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Your kind words meant more to me than you'll ever know. The great Maya Angelou once said "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." I couldn't agree more as I know that I'll never forget how all of you made me feel.
Peace, Love & Happy Trails. 
David.'

  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...

  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...
