Take This Heart / David Cassidy, Gerry Beckley

A new video again on The David Cassidy Official Website.

I think it wasn't May 1981. 

Because at the time, in May of 1981 DC started performing in Little Johnny Jones. And at the end of this interview when asked about his plans he said he was going to Nashville to make a new alboum, to record music again. I would say this interview is from 1982. 

But of course I could be wrong, it's so annoying that we don't have many interviews, and so many we have are of bad quality, and on top of that we can't be sure of the dates..

No, it must be 1982. He looked similar to the interview with Bob Chelmick, from June 1982, in Canada.

Really it's a detective work to establish basic facts.

Anyway David looked gorgeous, but that interview has made me sad. How many times he had to explain that he wasn't a child actor, and those questions about money..But first of all I always feel so sorry that he never said anything about his RCA albums. Like they never existed. Of course there were reasons why. Since May 1974 he did everything he could do to write and produce good, high quality music. He learned so much, worked so hard and didn't get new fans. By the end of 1976 he lost the rest of his confidence. Even Sam left him, he couldn't watch how DC was killing himself. 

Sam Hyman, "It was a very painful period for David (..) He was spinning out of control and starting to experiment with drugs, getting high to escape and kill the pain. The unresolved father issue has always been the underlying motivating factor with David. And he reached the apex of his career.(..) I remember going to David and saying,"I can't be around this. It's killing me to watch you kill yourself." And that's when I moved to Colorado, in 1976. I had to get away from it. And that's when his father died." (David Cassidy: Could It Be Forever?, 2007, p.312)

David knew that we, his fans, loved that music, all those wonderful songs from his RCA albums.

  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...

  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...
