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.

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
