"I Hope the World Still Wants Me'

-

First a song. I've just got a wonderful present, some great  vinyl singles, such a joy to have them and listen to. 

The Last Kiss/The Letter, Romance (Let Your Heart Go, the pic is from the other side of that single, and I've had no idea that on the B side is the instrumental version of this song, it was also moving to read Basia's very difficult Polish surname (Trzetrzelewska) and written without any mistakes. If I Didn't Care/Frozen Noses, and The Partridge Family's - Looking Through the Eyes Of Love/Storybook Love and Breaking Up Is Hard To Do/I Think I Love You/I'll Meet You Halfway. I just can't find words to describe my feelings, holding those old records and listening to them. A great joy.

Let's listen and watch DC singing 'Breaking Up Is Hard To Do'. This episode was first aired on this day, 51 years ago..

But I've had today also a disappointment. I'm very involved in helping Jane (our webmaster) find the missing articles about DC. It's a real detective work and takes a lot of time. We have a lot of articles or info about them on the website, but it's scary how much we don't have. Sometimes there is just the year and the title, but not the article itself.. We search  many websites, networks, also Pinterest and eBay. 

And you have no idea how many articles from the late 70s are missing. For example there was a magazine called 'Teen Talk', and we know that 2 articles about DC were published there, one in April 1979 and another one from February 1980. That's all. And today someone put up for sale on eBay, 'Teen Talk' from February 1978. The offer shows three pages of that issue including table of contents, and we can see that on pages 30-34 there is an interview with DC.

Shaun as a new, exciting pin up boy..And David. It looks like a long interview with the title, 'I Hope the World Still Wants Me'. At the time he was working on his comeback, on the set of the Police Story 2 hours special. But on 2 other pages displayed by the owner of the magazine there are only articles about John Travolta and Peter Frampton. 

So it was a disappointment, and even more, because in the same issue there was an article about Barry Manilow, with the title..'He Writes The Songs!'  Poor David. I hope that like me, he didn't read those articles.

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
