"..And You Stop Me In My Tracks.."

-

Oh yes, I feel like that today, or let me use another fragment from a DC's song, 'You caught me by surprise', so let's start with 'Morning Rider On The Road' written by great Tony Romeo.

David Cassidy interviewed by Michael Aspel in May 1974. Just don't know where to start.

1.In the 70s DC was interviewed by the most famous radio and TV personalities in the UK. Michael Barratt, David Hamilton, Tony Blackburn, Ed Stewart, Jack de Manio, Tony Prince of course, and a few times by Michael Aspel OBE (for services to broadcasting). He interviewed DC for the radio and TV, but we haven't had any of those recordings, this one is the first. 

2. I have known for some time that Jane, our webmaster has some great videos to publish, but this one is a wonderful surprise for me. As if to go back in time, those old/new videos. I know it was half a century ago, and that at the time I was 12 years old schoolgirl, but..this is something surreal watching this old interview for the first time. Like he was still with us. Young and beautiful.

3. It's amazing how smart and well spoken DC was. And so normal, I mean not a jaded, mannered superstar. So interesting to talk to. Thinking about honest, sincere answers. Not pretending.  Not hiding his tiredness. We love his voice..so soft spoken..And the way he looked. I'm so grateful that now we have this interview on the website.

4. I know that for 95% of DC's fans is not important, but not all the fans know English well enough to understand this interview. David always spoke very clearly, but I know that many fans have problems to understand interviews published on the website (without automatically generated subtitles). This one was also not loud enough. I wish we could do something about it. 

Once more David Cassidy, as he was in 1974

  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...
