'David Cassidy ..Climbing High With New Album'

-

What a shame this pic is so bad, Of course  I know other pics with DC looking down from that building at his fans, but not this particular one. I have been trying to do something with it, brighten it, reduced contrast, but it's not better. 

Today's entry is about the new/old review of 'The Higher They Climb'  I got from my friend B. Let's start with the opening song from that album, David's own, just a fragment of it but so spectacular. From Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode called 'Career Move', first aired on May 22, 1988. David looked sensational in it.

What did David Cassidy think about performing his own song while playing that former rock star Joey Mitchell..That he used to perform for much bigger crowds, even more enthusiastic..It must have been a strange and difficult experience for him. And I've just discovered a new, great copy of Career Move. I'm sooo happy.

David was fantastic. Besides 'When I'm a Rock'n'Roll Star' DC sings in that film also a fragment of a song from his character's new album. It's just amazing. We have a link to it on the Website.

Let's return to the review. Chronicle Herald (obviously from the UK), the date is August 8, 1975. It's a great find because we don't have many serious, detailed reviews of DC's albums. And this review is a very nice read. "The album opens with a Cassidy original, aptly titled 'When I'm a Rock'n'Roll Star' and moves on to an excellent work of Gene Vincent's 'Be-Bop-A-Lula' complete with tasty guitar break from West Coast musician Bill House.'

And one more fragment, "..the album comes across as a successful attempt by Cassidy to prove to the world that he can rock'n'roll with the best of them and he is now a man to be taken seriously.' Oh yes.

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
