When I Fall In Love / Victor Young and Edward Heyman

or David as an angel..

Sometimes there are such entries when I don't know how to start.  So maybe with the song I thought about yesterday when Henry Diltz published an amazing new/old DC's pic from 1971. He didn't give us the date, but I'm sure it was 1971. And there was a caption, 'David Cassidy looks like angel here...and maybe he is now!'

I don't know if he is an angel. Maybe.. The pic was so wonderful and it was so moving to see it, that I just took out my 'Crossword Puzzle' album and started listening to this song.

Henry Diltz is such a wonderful man, he has been active first as a musician, later as photographer since the 1960s. He photographed everybody. All of them. His pics are on the most important album covers in the history of the 20th century music. He was the official photographer at Woodstock and at the Monterey Pop Festival. It was his pic of The Doors, which was used on their album 'Morrison Hotel'. He is a legend. 85 years old. 

It makes me so sad when sometimes I read what some David Cassidy's fans write about him. They treat great Henry Diltz like personal DC's photographer. They simply have no idea about Henry Diltz' legacy. But yes, for him David was a very special friend, and we are so grateful for every single pic he took of David. For those taken on the set of The Partridge Family or for teen mags, and of course for those private ones.

'When I Fall In Love'. Such a classic, first released in 1952. A lot of artists recorded own versions. Nat King Cole, and his daughter Natalie, and Johnny Mathis and also Donny Osmond and Rick Astley. And many more. Because it's very cold and snowing..

And now imagine David Cassidy singing that song..And he did it, in summer of 1973, but only a handful of people could hear him singing..'when I give my heart it will be completely..' There is no audio, just 3 pics. David sang 'When I Fall In Love' on board of The S.S Fairsea ship one night after the day of filming 'The Last of Howard'. Bruce Kimmel played the piano..

The pic - David Cassidy singing 'When I Fall In Love'. 50 years ago.

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
