Together We're Better / Tony Romeo, Ken Jacobson

-

From 'The Partridge Family Notebook' album, released in November 1972, the first by The Partridge Family not to reach the Top 40.

So charming and uplifting, makes me think about sunny, innocent days of my childhood. Fun and joy. Tony Romeo's one more masterpiece.

I've chosen this song for today's blog not because I feel under the weather or sad, but I thought about it yesterday when I read that the event on 9th September was postponed again. That again David Cassidy would not get his so deserved stone. It's not only deserved but also founded by fans. And it was a lot of money. 

Maybe one more song from Notebook

I decided to go to London for 9 September ceremony about a month ago. And believe me it wasn't an easy decision, I have a lot of responsibilities and some health problems. 

From the start I was prepared to cancel everything if something happened. I already had to resign from going to Wales in May, at the very last moment. 

But in no way did I assume that the event would be postponed again. That again people would lose money. After all these assurances how could it be done ??? Yesterday I couldn't believe my eyes when I was reading it.

How are we supposed to believe that David Cassidy will get his stone. And I repeat it again. The stone founded by fans.

I was angry yesterday, so much work wasted again. My friends from David Cassidy Great Britain Legacy Group were working so hard to make it happen. I was involved too, there is a page on my blog called Music Walk of Fame Stone Honour for David Cassidy published in June 2022. The fight for David's stone started 8 years ago. So maybe someone thinks that David's fans are so loyal that they'll wait forever..No way.

I think we are in difficult moment now. This decision to postpone the event again, can have very serious consequences. I know I will not come again even if Lee Bennett send me a personal invitation. I hope we haven't lost credibility. I mean our beloved GB group.

I will be in London on September 9, to meet with friends, David Cassidy's fans. Together We Are Better.

  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.   I was truly sorry and 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, The Monkees. But we for ever 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, she said about David, "He is just marvellous and really knows how to handle his success.(..) We hit it o...

Labor Of Love / David Cassidy, Sue Shifrin and Michael Dan Ehmig

The lyrics of this song are not related to the topic of today's blog, but its title certainly is.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z-aBmyCX10 Less than 10k views after 12 years. It's a difficult truth, but that's the way it is. Fans want to watch  David's pics and first of all listen to his songs (solo and Partridge Family) from the 70s.  I've finished Johnny Ray Miller's book, 'When We're Singin' The Partridge Family & Their Music', it's worth every penny and it was so wonderful I could get my copy directly from the author's hands. In West Orange. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECXIaBy7Bcw What an extraordinary book! It's labor of love, but not just the author's, but of course we own this book to wonderful Johnny Lee Miller. I can only imagine the amount of time and work needed to write and complete such a book, taking into account all aspects of the phenomenon that it was The Partridge Family. 467 pages full of fascinating...

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,...
