'Let David Cassidy's Life Inspire You'

-

I couldn't have wished myself the better entry at the end of this year. What a great article by Linda Higgins. 

But first a song, there is a connection with today's entry. David Cassidy still making us happy. And I'm always happy while listening to this song. I especially adore DC's voice when he was in his late 20s. More mature, rich and deep, even more (if it's possible) dreamy and soulful. The lyrics is about lost love, but I have an impression he really enjoyed recording it. He sang it so effortlessly, almost like he did it without any rehearsals, but of course David Cassidy had an enormous talent, but talent is nothing without hard work, and we know that he was always a perfectionist.

Btw. how I wish someone made a video with this song, with DC's pics from Man Undercover, Police Story or even Fantasy Island, but not from TPF. David Cassidy recorded it in 1979.

Yesterday while looking for something on the website I read an article that I have known for years and never thought much about it, but yesterday it really made me think, and I also found it very moving and very inspiring. Written by Linda Higgins, called 'Talent Survives', it was published in 2015, and with the article was one of the best Henry Diltz' photographs of David Cassidy (from his tour in Australia, in 1974.)

This is a great video, fragment of the doc we all know so well ('To Australia Wth Love), David explaining why he doesn't like talking with anyone before a concert, we can see him with his band, and the concert itself. We've been celebraiting the 50th anniversary of his World Tour this year.

But let's return to the article. Linda Higgins is one of those many fans who rediscovered David Cassidy again, after many years that they had a crash on him in the early 70s. (In my case it happened after November 2017). I don't want to deprive you of the pleasure of reading this article on your own, so just a few the most important fragments. I 100% agree.

"Even though acting was David's first love, clearly he was meant to make music"

"..he used his talent to become an instrument of happiness for millions of people. This is quite a gift, because when people are happy, they put positive energy out into the world, making it a better place."

"If you are going through your own struggles, let David Cassidy's life inspire you to know that no matter what happens, your talent will survive."

  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...
