David Cassidy Being Together

  A new video has been published on The David Cassidy Official Website, this new year, 2024 is truly extraordinary, nearly every day a new recording, this one is very short, without sound. May 19, 1974. Hamburg, Germany. It doesn't look like a concert for little girls. DC and his backing singers, Gloria and Trish. Probably 'Rock Me Baby' before leaving the stage. And leaving audience so excited and wanting more. https://www.davidcassidy.com/fansite/ConcertPages/1974May19_ShortVideo.html?fbclid= David Cassidy in Europe..He used to come here mainly for work, he played concerts in the 70s, guest starred on many TV programs in the 70s and in the 80s, and in July 1992 he was in Austria with Sue and Beau filming TV show  'Ein Schlo ß am W ö rthersee' (A Castle at Lake Worther). But his first ever visit to Europe was private. He didn't know language and probably not much about Italy when he came there on holiday, at the beginning of 1972. He was so young and wanted to ...

Or a Weatherman, I'm not sure which word is the proper one. Let's start with a song. Really outsdanding performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We_T5LPBuFM I didn't write yesterday about every TV game show DC took part in, I have mixed feelings about them, of course a lot of people enjoy that kind of entertaintment and it was something DC did, that was important part of his job, maybe he enjoyed being on them, I don't know.  In April  2003 he took part in Hollywood Squares, very popular game show, originally debuted in 1965, in 2013  ranked at no. 7, on the list of 60 greatest shows ever.  https://www.davidcassidy.com/fansite/TvFilmPages/HollywoodSquares.html DC also took part in one of the most  popular American reality shows, The Celebrity Apprentice.  It was  season 11, each episode watched by nearly 9 million viewers, the program was hosted by Donald Trump. Difficult to watch for us, and very difficult experience for David. He didn't expect th...

I can't find now, but I remember reading in one interview how DC said that showing up was a big part of this business. Show business. He always knew that, how important it was. Industry events, TV appearances. And in the 60s he could watch quite often his father, Jack, on popular show game, 'Password'. I've watched one episode too, from November 1966.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YB0R3mzgvU&t=3s David Cassidy took part in many shows, game and others, also as a contestant. The first ever video with DC on the website is Dating Game (June 19, 1970). In November 1977 he took part in 'Celebrity Challenge of the Sexes', and as we all know he was beaten by Susan Saint James in a swimming event. He lost, but we have outstanding pics, David comforted by his wife, Kay Lenz. In 1982 there was another challenging show, called 'The Grand Prix All Star Show'. In 1988 DC appeared on extremely popular at the tme, 'Win, Lose or Draw'. Maybe he was invite...

We are very fortunate and lucky, having those wonderful videos from 1976. David Cassidy on European (and one Canadian) TV shows  singing some songs he never performed in later years. As he completely removed them from his memory. They belonged to the past he wanted to forget about.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vsuhi6UnX-k I've written about the year 1976 many times. It was David Cassidy's 'annus horribilis', right from the start. On January 17, 1976, Barry Manilow's cover of  'I Write the Songs' became number 1 hit on Billboard Hot 100, later got Grammy Award for Song Of the Year. Sal Mineo was killed on February 12. That was a huge blow for David. He still was trying, he recorded his last album for RCA, and tried in vain to promote his music, in the USA and in Europe. David, " I blotted out reality by immersing myself deeper in drugs, alcohol and music." He looked gorgeous of course, but sometimes also like someone on the way down. https://www...

On this day, January 27, in 1993, the very special episode of German-Austrian TV series, 'Ein Schlo ß am W ö rthersee' (A Castle at Lake Worther) was first aired. It was special because David Cassidy guest starred on it. It was aired on RTL, and actually I could have watched it if I had known, because at the time we had a satelite TV and there were a lot of German programs available for us, but I only watched sports events on them. On German TV all foreign films were dubbed and without subtitles. The same was at cinemas. Anyway 'Ein Schlo ß am W ö rthersee' was for German speaking countries, it was a very popular series in the early 90s. David guest starring was something special, just a few American stars appeared on it, besides DC (and Sue Shifrin) also Larry Hagman and Linda Gray. We don't have this episode on the website, and there are only fragments on YT, so let's watch David's interview for German TV. He was talking about his career and his role in t...

First the song about love. This is the entry number 746 (lol), but I've never written about  'Come On Love'. Probably I haven't liked it much, but last year while in Cardiff I bought myself 'Crossword Puzzle', and I listen to this album quite often.  I haven't changed my mind about 'Let Your Love Go' (it's awful), but I really enjoy listening to 'Come On Love'. Charming and uplifting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHeOVy8tc7g I've been searching today for some articles about David in Australia and New Zealand in 1974, and while browsing magazines on the website, I've found  an article called 'It's Love That Counts', Record & Radio Mirror, March 23, 1974, btw a copy costed 7p. The scan of this particular article is not very good, but it's worth reading. The result of The David Cassidy Superfan Contest.  It was a series, started with David Cassidy Contest, later was Slade Superfan Contest, next Gary Glitter, D...

  I suscribe Brad Kyle's 'Front Row And Backstage'. Wonderful articles about music, not only from the 70s, about inspirations and connections, those articles are not for everybody, there is very detailed info, for me it's a fascinating read and I learn a lot. And Brad Kyle also writes about David Cassidy. Quite often. He interviewed him being just 20 years old, in 1975.  In the article called Ned Doheny 'Get It Up For Love' + Covers' we can read about DC's version of that song, "Propelled by acoustic guitar and percussion, David uses his distinctive voice to lift his cover above many others". Very nice and so true. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OYoOPW4fn4 Brad Kyle also has written a lot about Clive Davis and how Arista's boss decided that Barry Manilow would be "a new star for America" and how after, "hearing Cassidy's version ('I Write The Songs') had Manilow record it."  Brad Kyle, "It's worth ...
