All I Wanna Do Is Touch You / Irwin Levine and L. Russel Brown

I haven't written my blog for a few days but of course DC hasn't disappeared from my life. 

A very dear friend met because of David, has invited me to London and maybe I'll go in summer, and I thought about DC a lot yesterday while watching a film at the cinema. The Holdovers. The action took place in December 1970, and students at the boarding school were listening to music, the hits from that time. But not to 'I Think I Love You'..And in late December 1970 ITILY was still very high on Billboard Hot 100, and Partridge Family Album on Billboard 200 charts. This film has made me miss the 70s and I've been thinking a lot about young David Cassidy, the real world he lived in and the role he played on the show..

And I've been reading fans' memories. A lot of comments appear on social media in this special month in which we celebrate the 50th anniversary of David Cassidy's World Tour in New Zealand and Australia. Some old articles have been posted, the titles speak for themselves. 'Cassidymania', 'Teen Screams For Cassidy'. A lot about DC as health hazard after his Melbourne's concert, and of course about him and Gina. 'Gina Snaps David in the Nude!'

He was working hard, but also had time for some fun and sightseeing. "David is looking around the place and trying to see the unusual things' a spokesman said, 'He wants to see a koala". And he saw some koalas and did many other interesting things, you can read about them in Don Murfet's autobiography.

Fans post their pics ..and we can see on many of them David on stage and fans trying to reach him. To be so loved, and knowing that all those girls loved him truly, really and deeply. Maybe it was his image they loved, but this image had his name, his face, his voice and last but not least his body. 

Those outstretched hands. Erin Sullivan has written, 'I reached for him over and over..' Another fan, 'he was so close, but so far away..'

  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...
