David Cassidy In Conversation With His Fans

-

One more DC's radio interview from Australia 1974 has appeared on the website. David Cassidy was in the studio of Radio 3XY in Melbourne, 2 days before his concert.

'Cherish', 'If I Didn't Care' and 'Breaking Up is Hard To Do' were played, and there were also 6 fans in the studio, girls, who could ask DC questions.

It's amazing how seriously he approached to these questions. Of course DC was aware that seeing him in flesh, an opportunity to ask about something and get an answer was a dream come true for his fans.

From 1970 onwards he was constantly answering some questions, usually the same ones. Fans started sending letters and asking about DC after he guest starred on Marcus Welby. In April 1970, in Tiger Beat fans got first answers from David about what he liked or disliked. In one interview he also said where he lived and where did he shop. That was a huge mistake..I wrote a short story about it a few years ago.

At the height of his popularity DC was getting 25 000 letters a week. Can you imagine those millions of girls (and boys) choosing special stationery just for him, looking for the right words to express their feelings for him, or to ask a question, and then throw their letters into their mailboxes with a beating heart..A lot of them truly believed that David would read their letter and respond in person. Just writing and sending were so important. One fan wrote in a letter published on FaVE, "Dear David, I just know you'll probably never see this letter, but it makes me feel a little better just to write it, even if I am just mailing my words off into the space somewhere. At least, this way, I feel like I'm talking to you.."

Maybe a song, about girls and magic, and this video is different than the usual tribute ones.

Who knows how many young people had full-time jobs writing fan adresses from envelopes, reviewing fan letters and writing replies on David's behalf which were later published on teen mags..

Let's return to DC's conversations with his fans on the radio. 1990 was really special, it was his great comeback, he was invited to many radio stations, live programs, and a lot of people called to tell David how much they still loved him, how they appreciated his music, his work and how they waited for his return.

I've chosen this program, also because of one fan who really wanted to date David..

  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...
