David Cassidy Being Together

Or 96 The Partridge Family episodes' synopses on The David Cassidy Official Website. All episodes' summaries. Every single one now has a synopsis, screenshots, info including cast, and the first airing date. I wish we had filming dates too. I'm sooo happy that after more than 2 years this project is completed now.  The first synopsis was written by Jane herself, (someone had to start it) and she chose S1 E2, because the song from it was one of her favourites. https://youtu.be/Ub5S8g8Hk1U?si=9YpsczvkpuE2KKar It was a brilliant Jane's idea, not just writing those synopses, but first of all giving David's fans an opportunity to contribute to the Website, do something for David Cassidy and his legacy. We were sure everything would be done very quickly. And at first it looked like that because many people volunteered.. Whatever it was it's done now, and I'm so glad. There are TPF episodes' summaries on other sites, but not all of them, and not so good.  In th...

I'm still reading the articles posted on the website on April 12. The first one from the 80s, is actually an article about Shaun and his life after teen idol fame. Shaun Cassidy, at the time in his early 20s, was already a married man with a step daughter. He was working hard for another career.  David was mentioned too by the author of that article. "David - instant idol to instant ex-star all in the span in 5 years.". And that David Cassidy-Man Undercover didn't work out, and "not a great deal has been heard of David since".  Let's listen to one of the songs recorded by DC in the late 70s, this project didn't work out either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWeUJFcoTaw In 1981 DC was written about again, even a lot, because of his role in 'Little Johnny Jones'. He gave many press interviews and always was asked about his teen idol experience. He said, "It's a horrendous existence going from cars to back kitchen elevators, decoys, b...

There are new articles about 'David Cassidy - Man Undercover' recently published on the website, but first something different. Of course nothing about Rock&Roll Hall Of Fame 2024 Nominees, I've promised myself never to write about RRHOF again. It's about something I read 2 days ago, Angie Dickinson's memories about Frank Sinatra. At the end of the story of their dating she said, "You can't talk enough about him and yet you can never define him. That's the elusive magic." And of course I've thought about David. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeKYMuQ5PvE The readers of my blog know that I'm a great fan of 'David Cassidy - Man Undercover', and on DC's birthday, Jane published some previews and reviews of the first show's episode.  Before the series debut (November 2, 1978), there was a lot of anticipation and rather friendly interest. A bit of mischiev too, as we can read in Paul Henniger's preview  published on Octob...

I finally found  time to read some articles published by Jane, our webmaster, on April 12. On the day of DC's birthday. She added to the website 74 items. 16 amazing photos from David's last concert in the 70s, played in Manchester on May 28, 1974, and 58 newspapers and magazines articles. What a labour of love, gathering and getting them ready for publishing. What a great present for all of us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wqxL3euahM So far I've read only those from the 70s, and learned a few new things. It's impossible to write about everything in one entry. For example in German mag, called Muzik Express Magazine, we can read that in 1974 David was busy not only touring the world, but also building futuristic helmet for himself, in Hawaii. Only solar energy and electricity from windmills were planned.  In the same German mag, on July 2, 1974, there is an interview with DC ("I'm Not Little Johnny Osmond!"). The conversation took place on a bus from H...

I'm still under the spell. It's like discovering a new, excitng David Cassidy's recording. And it's new, at least for me, because I've never heard David performing this famous, first blues, later also rock standard. And not only 'Baby, Please Don't Go' is simply sensational, but the rest of that Rock Medley, including 'Rock Me Baby', performed in Japan, on March 28, 1974. I don't know what they had before that concert, DC and his band, but this is just incredible. ROCK! It's the only word to describe that performance. Absolutely amazing, powerful and exciting. I've wanted to scream myself listening to it 50 years later.. And he was called 'a singer for little girls'.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCvKUTQ7puQ I'm not surprised that this outstanding audio recording hasn't interested many fans. Most fans want to see  David's pics or discuss his love life. That's how it used to be and that's how it is now. D...

First the song which has been on my mind today. One of the best TPF's music scenes and outstanding DC's vocal performance. https://youtu.be/mSipwc3kKlE?si=guUUn_VnpuFCIck4 So what David Cassidy taught us?  A lot of things, but actually it's the title of the article I found on Pinterest while waiting for my plane last Wednesday. It was supposed to be written by Suzanne and Brian in the early 70s, published on one of those mags dedicated to the show.  So one day on the set of TPF the whole schedule was delayed because of some difficulties with lighting and sound system, and waiting was especially difficult for the youngest, Suzanne and Brian. Suddenly David came to them, smiling, "He rumpled Brian's hair and sat down next to them with his arm around Suzanne. Brian looked up at David and said, 'Gee, David, you're the only one who's smiling today!". And  DC started explaining them the importance of patience and responsibility. He said, 'Patience is...

Fans have always celebrated David's birthday. In 1971 in every Chuck Laufer's teen mag appeared photos of David, his friends, Sam Hyman and Steve Ross, opening DC's birthday presents and reading greeting cards.  Of course it was just the opportunity to sell more things with DC name or face on it, but DC was really touched by the gifts, mosty handmade, send by his young fans.  In Tiger Beat issue from July 1971 we can read, "David eagerly opened each package and read every card! You can bet David 21st birthday is one he'll never forget!' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEjPtAAN73M The next year there was another DC's birthday celebrated on teen mags, but fans never needed to be remainded about that special day..Even when he retired, and it looked like the world forgot about David, fans always remembered.  A few times he celebrated his birthday in London. When he performed at London Palladium on April 12, 1987, there was a 'Happy Birthday welcome' and...

I would never have believed that one day I would read that column. published on Fabulous 208 in the early 70s.. That magazine, published between 1964 and 1980, was a British pop music mag, aimed at the teenage market. It was first called Fabulous, but after a deal with Radio Luxembourg, the mag was retatiled Fabulous 208, because 208 metres being RL's broadcast wavelength. 2 years ago I brought from England a suitcase full of old articles about DC, among them a collection of  'David Cassidy writes personally to you' laboriously cut off from Fab208 by my friend B. in the 70s. I was a little bit surprised because she told me many times that she didn't believe DC had written them himself. I took everything what was offered to me and when I returned home I put all those 'David's letters' in the box and forgot about them. Until yesterday. David Cassidy singing about the letter.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxhRzr7_O78 Great video and I really like that song, ...

I had a birthday yesterday and I got a lot of really wonderful and touching birthday wishes, a lot because of David Cassidy. From my FB friends and from the members of  The David Cassidy Great Britain Legacy Group. From my fellow fans. Thank you so much. It was very moving, it's made my day.  And with some wishes there were pics of David. One was a screenshot from Ruby and the Rockits, DC with a bunch of flowers. Wonderful pic, but somehow it's made me sad (sorry Mary), because sometimes it still hurts seeing a DC picture. He is not with us..6 years and 4 months, even more, that's a lot of time. For example DC in November 1967 was a teen, at high school, sure he was thinking seriously about acting, but it was still a dream..In April 1974, after 6 years and 4 months he was someone completely different, not just older. A superstar at the crossroads. And because I was spending my birthday on my own, I started watching old videos. First DC on Good Night America. David after his...

Somehow April again. So fast..In Poland early Spring, a special month for us, David's fans. And I also have birthday in April, DC was always 12 years older than me, and with each year this gap is decreasing. It has made me think about David in 2012, when he was 62, like me now. In 2012 David Cassidy very often performed 'In My Life'. From his favourite 'The Beatles' album, 'Rubber Soul', the song credited to Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, but we know that John Lennon was the author of the lyrics. David sang it at casinos in the US and also at his last ever concert in the UK. Echo Arena, Liverpool. November 17, 2012. Singing with the audience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9Au4VYZjcc It was a difficult year for him. He was worried about his mother. Evelyn was born in May 1932 and since 2005 had severe dementia. DC was the only child and was very conscious that there were millions of baby-boomers who had elderly parents in need of help and suppor...
