"..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

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
