Crying In The Rain / Howard Greenfield and Carole King

-

I've thought I'll not write anything today, being rather busy, but I've just realized that tomorrow will be the 50th anniversary of the episode  # 14, from  S4.

'Two For The Show'. With Andy and David Williams. 

In January 1974 DC left Partridge Family behind, (those last episodes were filmed in 1973), and at the time there were a lot of articles about his upcoming World Tour. That David would be the first pop star to play a concert at Eden Park, and also that he would be a guest of honor at the TV Week Logie Awards.

Actually quite a lot was written about the episode with Williams's twins. His uncle Andy Williams said, "The boys did the episode but with the provision that if the show is picked up by the network (in America) they will be on every week. I guess David Cassidy is ducking out and David and Andy, will be, well, the new twin David Cassidys." 

In another article, from January 13, 1974 we can read about the upcoming episode, "It should be a night for every teenager to remember, when those new teen favourites, Andy and David Williams, team up with David Cassidy in 'Two For The Show'. The 14-year-old twin nephews of singer Andy Williams, current toasts of all teen magazines, will make their acting debut when they guest in the series, which shot Cassidy into world-fame as a teenage idol.'

Let's watch David (of course). This song is one of several recorded, but not released by Bell..

We can also learn from the article published on January 12th, 1974, 'Cassidy For Logies!', what DC was doing at the time."The star is presently resting up at his isolated Hawaiian retreat for the long-anticipated Australian tour". Shirley Jones hoped that the show would survive. This is the link to that very interesting article.

And Andy and David? I don't know what they do now, but in 1992 they recorded this truly beautiful song. Also about crying..

  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...
