David Cassidy Being Together

  At last I've had some time to check the recent May's updates on The David Cassidy Official Website. I've started from the end, concert pictures published today.  June 30, 2012, South Point Casino Las Vegas. DC at 62 looked just fabulous, and he was so happy on stage. It was such a blessing for David to meet his musical brother, Craig J. Snider. He helped David not to be just a nostalgic act, to change the music he performed and recorded, and move forward. For David, the members of his band became friends, even more.  David Cassidy had so many serious problems in 2011 and 2012, but on stage he felt safe and happy. In many reviews we can read that in 2012 DC played outstanding concerts because he concentrated more on the music not on chatting with the audience. He returned to his roots, the music he loved listening to and playing in the 60s, and the 70s. Blues and rock.

E.T. Thorngren was a legend for many. Always. Already in the 70s, and even in Poland, because he was Talking Heads' producer. Everything about him was extraordinary, also his name, his hats.. He was always a mysterious figure, we still don't know the cause of his death on May 6. He was very independent and very good at his job. His job was his passion. Eric Thorngren was born in New York, around the same time as David, he started his music career in the late 60s, but very quickly decided that he wanted to be on the other side in the studio, he became an engineer, producer and mixer. He produced punk classics albums and very early hip hop. He produced 'Sid and Nancy' original soundtrack. And Eurythmics, Public Image Ltd, Debbie Harry, Cyndi Lauper, Lou Gramm, Wet Wet Wet, Robert Palmer and David Cassidy.  He worked with David twice. The first time he co-produced (with another legend, Phil Ramone), David's self-titled album, released in October 1990. https://www.youtu

In the first months after David died, The David Cassidy Official Website became a natural place for fans from all over the world  to be together and mourn David.  We were also waiting for tributes to DC, tributes organized by family and David's famous friends. We were discussing what it could be, a concert maybe, or even better an album with covers of David's songs.  I loved the idea of the album, all of them could sing. Katie recorded ITILY when she was a teen, David recorded duets with Sue and didn't care that she was a better sonwriter than a singer.  And there were also David's brothers and Shirley, a lot of talented nephews, and so many friends. Kim and Dave started their career working for David. Alice, Elton, Gerry, Dewey, Richie, Timothy and many more.. Shaun remembers David and sings I'll Meet You Halfway as a tribute to him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8kVBQaUMLk Fans have learnt very quickly that if we want something for David, a memorial plaque, a b

First 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'. The film premiered in the UK 30 years ago, on May 13, 1994.  A low budget film, made in 6 weeks, became unexpected success, all over the world, earned just mountains of money, and made of  Hugh Grant international star. It's also a film with a very strong David Cassidy's connection.  The script was written by Richard Curtis (born in 1956), whose partner (they married after many years in 2023), a popular broadcaster Emma Freud, was (and still is) a DC fan. She gave some interviews about her love for DC and meeting him in person. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ogl0mA_15ys 163 000 views, this one scene. Someone wrote 6 years ago, 'RIP David Cassidy. We know we loved you'. We still do. Two weddings in Las Vegas. Beau Cassidy and his fiance, Stephanie, just got married there. Something different was planned, in Europe, in September. And according to Sue Shifrin, Las Vegas was the last minute decision and that's the reason Dav

or with David Cassidy in Iceland. I've spent the last 2 weeks there.  At first glance no connection with DC, but who knows. Actually between 1941 and 2006 there were American bases on the island, and American music, American pop culture have left their mark, but I have no idea if DC was popular in Iceland in the 70s.  Anyway, like always I've listen to David's music every day, even if only for a couple of minutes before going to sleep.. Sing me..Tony Romeo wrote this song for David in 1973, but after so many years those words have special meaning for us, 'Sing me one of the songs and you've got me..Play me one of the songs and you take me..and life was a joy..' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dktg7IeY_YY Wonderful video and only 424 views after four years. How it's possible. Of course my sister, whom I've been visiting in Iceland, knows quite a lot about David, she even once has watched The Last Session with me, and a few The Partridge Family's episo
