David's Songs That Turn 50 Years Old This Year.

-

There are such lists on social media or YT, called for example, '25 Greatest Songs That Are Turning 50 Years Old This Year', or '50 Songs You Won't Believe Are Turning 50 This Year'. So true, sometimes is so difficult to believe. Half a century.

It's happened a few times this year, when the list has been created in the UK, that 'Daydreamer' was included. 1973 was David's year in the UK. He had  the number one song and the number one album. He played sold out concerts. His one in a kind weekend at Wembley. In 1973 he was the world's biggest pop star.

Amazing. His hair, the way he looked, his professionalism. It was filmed in a great conspiracy, and as we know DC's suit was bought at the very last moment and it was too big for him. Nevertheless his performance on the Heathrow tarmac is unforgettable. 

David's Songs That Turn 50 Years Old This Year. For us they have no age, they are timless. Some magical, like this one, I love listening to it in my car, especially while returning home at night..My funeral song.

The songs from 'Dreams Are Nuthin' More Than Wishes'. I love them all, with maybe one exception, I prefer The Partridge Family's version of 'Summer Days'. I think that for David the most important from this album was the song written especially for him. By Tony Romeo.

22 Partridge Family's songs turn 50 in 2023. 'Crossword Puzzle' and 'Bulletin Board' were recorded and released in 1973. So hard to chose one song. I have a soft spot for this one.

  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...
