David Cassidy first came to London in February 1972 to promote his tv show and his first solo album 'Cherish'. It was expected that maybe 200-300 fans would greet him at Heathrow..thousands screaming and very excited teens appeared. It was madness. His popularity was compared to the second coming of the Beatles.

DC, 'They had me doing press interviews through my whole stay in England, from the moment I'd wake up each day until I went to bed. In a week I became a big national name. It was overwhelming. My album went right to the top spot.'

Not only press interviews. Here is 21 year old David Cassidy and his first visit at the BBC  TV Centre, His first English tv interview. Over the next 40 years he will be there hundreds of times.

It was the beginning of the most amazing story of..love. David Cassidy and his fans. David Cassidy and London. He was loved and cherished here. He was always welcomed as the dearest friend. He worked and lived in that amazing city he called his second home. He was a superstar in London. Always. He was happy here and had many friends.

Music Walk Of Fame in London has a Criteria for those who may be included, Music Icons, Innovators, Inspirational, Visionaries, Unsung Heroes. David Cassidy meets the Criteria on more than one count. He deserves that Stone. 

What more I think we owe it to him. He had a huge impact on lives of millions, and still his music brings love and happiness and it hurts how that wonderful, fabulous singer was pigeonholed, how he was trapped by his image. A teen idol..a singer for little girls. We know how unfair it is. It's enough just to listen..

We are just at the beginning of that long road. But we also have had communication with The Music Walk Of Fame and they are aware of our petition ! We do know that David could eventually be in the running for this accolade.

It's very important to keep the petition going.

Every single signature counts. 

And we are not alone. 



Anthea Turner, Keith Atack, David Hamilton and Tony Prince. And Mike Read. Thank you so much to being with us, David Cassidy's fans. I'm sure that more famous journalists and musicians, famous fans join us.

But you are the most important. David Cassidy's fans from all over the world, those who became fans in the early 70s and those like me who became real fans after he died. 

We listen to his music every day, we talk and read about him. He is still with us.

Kay Lenz, an Actress

Don't get me wrong, I'm not writing today's blog just to gossip about DC's private life, it's because I always admired that amazing woman, Kay Ann Lenz. She had birthday yesterday. 3 years younger than David, a few years older than a typical DC's fan.  In the 70s I heard quite a lot about Kay Lenz . She was very popular in Poland, like the rest of the cast of 'Rich Man, Poor Man'. That tv series was shown in my country I think in 1978, and everybody watched it, also a lot was written about the cast. So one day I read that Kay's husband was a former teen idol, David Cassidy. There was also a pic and I thought that it was just wonderful, I thought they were the most beautiful couple in the world. There was something very moving about Kay. I thought she was different than typical American actress. Such beautiful eyes, but her beauty wasn't an ordinary kind, not for everybody so to speak. When I was a teen I couldn't put in words what I thought a

They Said I Changed A Lot..

Let's first listen to something which was not released, why they didn't want David singing that song is a great mystery for me. Listening to his young, sincere, innocent and magical voice is one in a kind moving experience. You can just imagine David sitting next to you, with his guitar...and.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PbghG6czuw&t=6s Amazing. And of course we believe in David Cassidy and love songs. When I became a real DC's fan in 2018, there was something I used to discuss a lot with my English friend B. How David Cassidy kept changing. A completely different person in each decade. Or even more often. It was something difficult to understand for me. The many faces of David. Each album different from the previous one, different style and even his voice.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4gvxt1WgaA B. thought there was nothing unusual about how David was changing, and I simply didn't follow his career from the beginning, I didn't grow with him, I didn&#

'I Just Hated Being In The Show..'

Last week someone posted a screenshot of the article from May 1974, unfortunately without the date or the name of the paper. Written by a popular journalist Roderick Gilchrist, I think it was Daily Express. We can read that this interview took place at London Weekend Television's Building, on the day before the DC's last concert in Manchester.  And David said, "I feel like the door to the cage has just been opened. And, any minute now I'm going to be able to fly right away from my prison. I can't tell you how happy that makes me feel because I'll be free again.." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG0hjhwKx5s His prison..Of course there have been other teen idols in the history of pop culture, but somehow for those from the 70s it was like someone put a curse on them. Nothing David Cassidy recorded later in life hasn't changed a bit that first opinion some people had of him and his music. My FB friend, Laurie Eby has written, "I researched 'New Y
