David Cassidy "Your Magic's Worked Its Trick On Me''

-

 

Or the most beautiful man ever..

The readers of my blog know that I'm a fan of the song called 'David Cassidy' written, recorded and released in February 2009 by three girls and one boy (on drums), from London and Cambridge. The band's name was 'Betty And The Werewolves'. 

Wonderful, happy, full of energy indie pop, always makes me smile (and even dance). Sure those young people must have had some old relations in love with DC, and they must have heard some stories. 5000 photos of David. Great lyrics, really captures that love affair fans had with David. That collective dream. So many hoped in the 70s that somehow they would find the way to Los Angeles, to David..at least in a dream

I've thought about this song recently. Because this magic still works on us, half a century later and without David. A week ago while waiting for a concert to start (and a guy with my ticket!) I was browsing my phone and found an old DC pic. It was old because I'd known it for years, and old because it was probably from 1972. DC in his car, pukka shells, jeans jacket, his eyes were closed, he looked tired and of course very beautiful. And I posted this pic on DC Greatest Fans Group, added a caption, 'The most beautiful man ever', and my date at last arrived and we went to see the concert.

One more song about David. This time very old one.

And after the concert I checked my phone and couldn't believe my eyes. So many 'likes'. And a lot of comments, mostly that yes, he was/is the most beautiful ever..This post has now 342 likes. Why am I writing about it? Because at the same time, last week, I published Lanie's and Erin's stories about seeing David's concert in Australia, in March 1974. And those two wonderful, very moving entries have less views than this single pic..

I know that fans love DC's pics, young and old, me too of course..but I've never been so close to quitting blogging.   

btw. in this very nice video there are some pics new to me.

  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...
