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.

  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...
