David Cassidy Being Together

Not the best title for today's blog, but, 1. I binge listening to this album this week 2. I feel little blue myself. I should have started my holiday in the UK today, I was looking forward to it, preparing for some time, we had so many plans...  but I had to cancel everything last week. I'm not even sad, but yes, 'A Touch of Blue', it's a perfect description of my mood today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr3fFMZ2GXw&list=RDHr3fFMZ2GXw&start_radio=1 And to think that once I didn't appreciate David's version of this Paul McCartney's masterpiece. Amazing cover. Such a known song, nevertheless he was able to add something own, something personal,  It's made me cry a little bit today. Don't worry I'll be fine.  And one more song from this great album. We still can't get him out of our hearts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsJSAqv8GGE&list=RDfsJSAqv8GGE&start_radio=1 I want to write a little bit about something of course not...

First a song that for some time has not wanted to leave me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yITRKjBn2Jc&list=RDyITRKjBn2Jc&start_radio=1 'I'll Be Your Magician'. Difficult to believe but today I've listened to David Cassidy singing it for the first time in my life. I mean, I read about it, I even watched Danny Bonaduce once 'performing' it on a TV program in 1973. but I never heard David's version.  But that's what friends are for, my fellow fans. Scotti wrote about it, and Linda published the link for me. Actually this video appeared on You Tube 3 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NWSJyZu_J8&list=RD8NWSJyZu_J8&start_radio=1 In the style of the 60s, reminds a bit The Kinks' classic, 'Sunday Afternoon'. I checked it in Johnny Ray Miller's book, and 'I'll Be Your Magician' was a demo for use in Season 2. That version (and some other songs, but not by David) was on a vinyl pressing released by Screen Gem...

Great updates on the Website a few days ago, new items for the cathegory called "In Print. Non-fiction books featuring David Cassidy". There are books written by DC, and by others, about David Cassidy, or those in which he is mentioned. There are the most of the latter, quite a long list and it's always exciting when new items appear. Let's start with a song. This live version of 'Get It Up For Love' from 1985, is simply sensational, David in a great vocal form and great shape, so full of energy and just pure joy that he could make his fans happy again. Give and take. Of course he was still so young.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dc0hqIU-Vs&list=RD-dc0hqIU-Vs&start_radio=1 I want to write about 2 books. The first one  is 'George Michael - The Life 1963 - 2016  : The Man, The Legend, The Music', published in 2017, and written by Emily Herbert. I have no idea how old is she but it looks like she has written a lot of known people's biograp...

It looks like I write an entry about May's anniversaries every year. Of course it's a coincidence that so many important people for David Cassidy's life and  career were born in May. Very important.  Today The Creator, The Producer and The Musical Director. Amazing, very successful and professional men, for a few years so important for David, they were  working with him, teaching him and witnessing how a young unknown actor became a global superstar and  accomplished artist. Let's start with a song, also connected with May, because it was on May 11th, 1970 when David Cassidy was for the very first time at the recording studio. His first song performed on TV..This video has 6 million views, more than 3k comments, some of them written this year. David Cassidy's first and the most important song recorded in May, 56 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r9UtIhOI8M&list=RD2r9UtIhOI8M&start_radio=1 Bernard Slade, the creator of The Partridge Family was born ...
