River In Time / Andrew Gold and Sue Shifrin

-

Yes, Andrew Gold co-wrote this wonderful song with Sue. 

And David Cassidy performed it on EFX, and recorded it. The album with the music and songs from the show was released by MGM Grand in 1997, and was available only through the EFX gift shop at the hotel.  

I haven't listened to those songs for some time and I feel like I have discovered them today..again. Love is a river in time.

Only 16k views during 15 years, and a few comments with the same statement, 'Never heard this song'. 

But today's post should have been called not 'River In Time', but 'David Cassidy at the Warsaw's shoppoing centre'. It's something what happened to me yesterday, it's really nothing very important. But maybe I'll inspire someone, it's always worth telling people about DC. Let Him Shine.

I had an important family meeting yesterday afternoon, and I had everything ready except flowers, so I went in the morning to our local shopping centre to buy some roses. It's not big, but you can buy  everything there, and I like it because it's very friendly, and very quiet place. No background music, never. And it happened that yesterday at the ground floor of the center was a vinyl market, they organize such from time to time. 

I didn't have time, and David is completely unknown in Poland, but one seller had only pop music and I couldn't resist to just have a look. There were boxes with pop albums from the 90s, 80s and one box with the label, 'Pop 60/70'. The man had some really great vinyls, rather unexpected in my country, David Essex' first album from 1973, Capitan and Tennille's first, 'Love Will Keep Us Together' with.. "I Write the Songs', and there was Sweet's album and Al Stewart's 'Year of the Cat', to name a few. And I thought that maybe I would buy something, but the next album pull out off the box was..Barry Manilow's 'Tryin' to Get the Feeling'. Yes. From 1975, with 'I Write the Songs' again. That was too much for me.

Let's listen to David

I must have grimaced horribly because the salesman (he was in his early 40s) came up and asked if there was anything wrong and what I was looking for, and I just started telling him about The Partridge Family and David, how life was unfair for him. And about 'Cherish' album released 52 years ago. The guy was listening and searching something on his laptop, but I really didn't expect it. And we smiled to each other for the next 2 minutes, and other customers were also smiling looking at us. And listening too. To David Cassidy's 'Cherish' played in the Warsaw's shopping center on Saturday early afternoon.

A very small thing, but I was smiling yesterday all day long.

  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...
