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.

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
