"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.

  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...

Love Is All That I Ever Needed. A David Cassidy Biography. Chapter 1

  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...
