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..'

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
