Stop Me In My Tracks David's Songs

-

Or the 4th anniversary of my blog, btw it's called 'David Cassidy Being Together', and at first some people thought that the author was not an unknown fan from Poland, but a lucky lady who wanted to share some info on her secret life with David Cassidy. My first entry was extremely popular because of this misunderstanding. 

But of course the title of the blog was from the wonderful Tony Romeo's song, recorded by DC for his first solo album.. The idea from the start was that we fans, would share our love and info about David Cassidy. 'Being together is my kind of fun..we wanted to share for a while a tear or a smile.'

I must say that I'm very proud of myself, and in my wildest dreams I wouldn't have suspected that I would be writing a blog about David Cassidy for so long. And people would keep reading it. Sure there were breaks in my writing, a few times I thought about finishing it for good, and even once nearly delated it, all entries, after some tiring and nasty comments. Marjon Hoogendam-Landmeter saved my blog by telling me what DC told her when she had similar problems while running the Dutch DC fanclub. 'Don't let them hurt you', that was the advice and I always remember it. 

I've been writing about I think everything connected with David Cassidy, but the most important for me always has been his music. And today in the time we all are supposed to be merry, I want to write about my fav David Cassidy's songs. I love all of them, and it's just for fun, and I hope it'll make you smile and think about your favourites, but nevertheless for me some David's songs are more important than others, I call them, 'stop me in my tracks songs' and it happens anytime I listen to them.

It's easy with Partridge Family's songs. No 3. 'I'm On My Way Back Home', No 2 'Twenty-Four Hours A Day' and No 1 is also from 'Sound Magazine'. Written by David (with a little Wes Farrell's help). His masterpiece.

And now mission impossible, one song from each DC solo album. So from 'Cherish'

From 'Rock Me Baby', that was very easy, 'How Can I Be Sure'. From 'Dreams Are Nuthin' More Than Wishes' - ''Bali Ha'i'. From 'Cassidy Live! - 'For What It's Worth'. The Higher They Climb'..

'Home Is Where The Heart Is' - 'Half Past Our Bedtime'. 'Gettin' It In The Streets' another DC's own, great song.

Romance- 'Heart Of Emotion', 'David Cassidy' - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams', 'Didn't You Used To Be' - 'One True Love'. 'Old Trick, New Dog', I know that it's not a popular choice, but I love this one

From 'A Touch Of Blue' - 'Since I Fell For You'. Uff that was hard and enough of this, because there are also amazing unreleased songs, those he performed on stage or TV programs.. what an amazing music legacy David Cassidy's left us. He was a great singer and wonderful songwriter.  And we are so lucky being his fans..

  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...
