David Cassidy On Larry King Live

-

A few days ago Jane published on the David Cassidy Official Website DC's TV guest appearance on Late Show with Conan O'Brien, according to the Website it was aired on June 25, 1994. 

It's nothing new really, I watched it a few years ago on YT, I don't know if it's still on it, anyway it's great we have it now on the Website, because we should have everything. That's my opinion as a fan and a former librarian. Even that some videos, interviews are difficult to watch or I don't like reading or watching some things which has been  published about DC. 

And I'm not a great fan of this particular conversation, interview, I don't know how to call it. But many fans really liked this show, so I've seen it one more time today.

And while watching it I've realized how important for David Cassidy was to be on all those the most popular American talk shows in the mid 90s. He wasn't invited to many when he was a teen idol. He talked about it while on Tonight Show with Jay Leno (the same year, 1994), who was surprised that it was first ever DC's appearance on that very popular program. And David told him how in 1967 he  accompanied his dad and Shirley Jones when they were on Tonight Show. It's at the beginning of this interesting video.

Yes, he was a celebrity again, and for him it was much more important than being just a teen idol in the 70s. A singer for little girls.. In 1994 he had a hit Broadway show, and he published a book everybody talked about and wanted to read. David Cassidy's first autobiography 'C'mon Get Happy, Fear and Loathing on a Partridge Family Bus', written with Chip Deffaa's help. We have a lot of anniversaries in 2024, also this one regarding David's book. It was published 30 years ago. 

And it's really a great read, I read this book in one night, and I'm a former librarian, I've read many biograhies and autobiograhies in my life, but never something so sincere, so brutally frank, written without any consideration what people would think about him. I'm in awe of his courage. David Cassidy, 'When you agree to tell the truth about something you've got to say, 'I'm not going to tell a little lie here." 

His book, published on July 1, 1994 was truly sensational. It became a bestseller and the talk of the town. 

This is my fav David Cassidy's TV appearance from 1994. David Cassidy on Larry King Live. In conversation with Nick Charles. Great interview, wonderful footage and pics, and last but not least phone calls from fans..

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
