A Promo David Cassidy's Single

-


But first the song which has been a lot with me recently. And to think  there was a time I didn't like it. 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town For Old and Tired' as I call it.

DC recorded his Christmas EP in August 2016, it was released in November. Just 16 minutes of six Christmas classics, five the same he recorded for Partridge Family. In 1971. 

David Cassidy was an extraordinary, one in a kind singer. And all his life he was working with the best musicians, who appreciated his talent. This EP is not an exception, There is such a wonderful, bluesy feeling about this song, dark humor. Yes, we've been very good Santa.

A few days ago I saw that someone is selling a promo DC's single. (it's still on ebay). Actually I felt rather excited about it, and sent the link to The DC Official Website, and some friends, even that it was only a promo recording. Not for selling, just the kind normally sent directly to broadcasters, in the hope of the future commercial release. But no one was excited about it, just me, which I thought a little strange.

There was only one song on it. The title, 'Saying Goodbye Ain't Easy (We'll Have To Go Away)/ Chater-Armand. Strings arranged by Bob Alcivar, Executive Producer - Alan Abrahams, Produced by Gerry Beckley and David Cassidy.

This ballad is so powerful, the music, the lyrics and very mature and emotional David Cassidy's vocal. I also like  Sharon Angulot's tribute video very much.

Of course this song with the title 'I'll Have To Go Away' was released  first in 1976, as a Side B of the single "Gettin' It In The Streets', but couldn't make it to Billboard Hot 100 in the fall of 1976.

But I had no idea, that there was one more try to make a hit out of it, because this promo, with the different title, was released in 1977, and I've had no idea about it. 

One more fav from David Cassidy's Christmas EP. 'Blue Christmas' (For Old And Lonely)

  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...

  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...
