You Are The First One / Barney Robertson

-

I still haven't found anything about the author of this song, and even the title is not certain, sometimes it's 'You Are The First One', sometimes it's in the past tense.

Anyway  David Cassidy was singing it so beautifully and dreamy, the video is great, and yes, he was our first one..

Maybe 50 years ago we didn't know how to describe our feelings, and we didn't know what feelings actually he evoked in us, by the songs he was singing and of course the way he looked..And we didn't really know what it was we wanted from him. But yes, I remember so well when I first heard 'How Can I Be Sure', like a completely new, exciting world suddenly materialized..and I wanted more. He showed us that love is the most important thing in life.

Somehow this 6th anniversary is more difficult than it was last year. For me at least. One of the reasons is that tomorrow I'm going away for a while, I'm leaving my home, and my blog, it's just a holiday (very needed one) but the last day before going anywhere is always difficult.

And last year on November 21st I was in London. We were in all those places, so familiar now, I feel  in London like at home, I've been everywhere in David Cassidy's footsteps. Many times people ask me for directions and I always know how to get here or there..Amazing. And all because of David.

Meeting with my fellow fans in London. On my way back home I always feel so sorry, regret not talking with everybody, my written English is much better than my spoken one, so sometimes I simply need more time to get used to a new accent. And there is always not enough time. Sometimes it's just a few words and smiles, so many lost opportunities to really get to know someone and have a proper talk.  And sometimes a miracle happens, a perfect timing like last year's meeting with Sharron and her husband, just three of us outside Dorchester, and the next day a magical hour with Jayne..And this year in September with Yvonne and June, with Pauline and Doreen and many more..All because of David..

We are united today in our grief, we, David Cassidy's fans, those who are on social media, but I'm sure also many others, all around the world, those who don't think or talk about him like we do, or even don't listen to his music anymore, but today they remember him as well.

Words of Love from David. 1973. And a great, outstanding tribute video.

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
