I Write The Songs...Again

-

Just a short entry today, I haven't planned anything but I have to write about the video posted yesterday by Tracey from our David Cassidy Great Britain Legacy Group. 

Every day, for I don't know how many years, Tracey posts a fragment of the lyrics from one of David's songs. It's a kind of educational fun, fans do it together, each fan should write only one line, the next fragment of a song. 

It's not easy, sometimes it's difficult to guess the song, and thanks to Tracey, I think now I know all the lyrics by heart, and this way I can appreciate the songs even more. Every evening Tracey post the video with  that day's song. And yesterday the video was the original UK footage of David Cassidy singing 'I Write The Songs' rebroadcast on 192 TV (whatever it is).

Of course I've seen many times this video as it was repeated on the Granada Plus channel, and I don't know why watching this particular one yesterday made such an impression on me. Great sound that's for sure, and also more 'warmer colours' of that video, it's made a difference, more emotional for the viewers, I felt like David Cassidy was singing only for me. Amazing experience.

And of course only a fellow fan can understand my excitement. We would love to have new videos but they are very rare, so we are happy with the old ones slightly different than the ones we know by heart. Or when someone posts the whole program in which David took part as a guest star. Me at least, because it shows his performance in a full context. And 2 months ago someone posted Bob Hope Special with David. The whole program. And the quality of it is just amazing. But unfortunately without the songs DC performed on it.

So let's watch Rock Me Baby from Bob Hope Special

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,...

Robyn Millan

  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...

'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...
