David Cassidy: What's Not To Love? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

KeithsSweetheart · 06-01-2001, 01:48 AM

Hi, everybody! This is my first time ever posting on this board. I have been a fan of "The Partridge Family" since I was a little girl (during the 1970's). David Cassidy is the main reason I love the show so much. I thought it would be fun to share some things we all love about him. For me it would be his hair, his eyes, his smile, his laugh, and his adorable dimples.

What are some things you all love about him?

I forgot to mention--let's keep it clean, okay?

It was a good show. I remember seeing it when it was originally broadcast but havn't seen it in reruns. I'm not sure if it is presently showing in reruns or not. From what I remember Keith was the straight man and Danny was set up with a lot of the dialog that generated the laughs. I remember the show always ended with a song which was probably why most people liked the show. I thought the storylines were good and I would have watched the show even without the singing at the end.

I like the show, but Cassidy seems really full of himself in real life.

Now, Shirley is the one I have fantasies about.

I always liked David Cassidy's smile. Just like his Dad's. His brothers all have great smiles too.
About him seeming full of himself, I tend to think he was at one time. I started reading his book "C'mon Get Happy" and I never finished it, because it seemed so whiny. Maybe it gets better at the end. Ofcourse, I imagine it would be hard not to be full of yourself if you get to be as famous as he was. He seems to have mellowed with age and seems like a nice guy. I still love his music. My kids like it too.

Did David Cassidy write the songs that they recorded? If he did he was super creative at such a young age. I remember when I was in grade school reading that David 'retired' from the music business. The article said he was 27. If he was able to thing up those songs that he sang then it is too bad he didn't pursue songwriting thruout his life.

MsLulu · 08-23-2001, 04:36 AM

I just looked at 2 of the Partridge Family Albums(we still have some of the records). David Cassidy is listed as a co-writer on one song. Wes Farrell and Tony Romeo wrote alot of them. Bobby Hart wrote a few and there are others mentioned.

What a great question!! David has always been a songwriter. He has written albums and cd's worth of songs. He writes and performs his own music on many of his solo albums/cds. They can be hard to find (on ebay) but are so well worth it! Old Trick New Dog is still out in stores (1998). I know of a fantastic fansite for those of you who may want an update on David's career. It is called http://cassidyland.com and David's official website is www.Davidcassidy.com. Cassidyland will be doing a moderated chat on David's TV appearances on 9/13-check it out!

Hi everyone,
Thanks Smarti35, for mentioning Cassidyland!

It's awe-inspiring how David Cassidy keeps amazing his old fans and attracting new ones with his scope of talent. As Smarti mentioned, he's been writing great songs for 3 decades, as well as acting, producing, recording, touring and giving his time to charitable causes. And he just keeps getting better at all of it! (Don't know if anyone mentioned it yet on this board, but David will be releasing his new CD, Then and Now, this October in the UK, and after that in North America!)

Oh, and of course there's that voice. And those flashing eyes. And that infectious smile. And especially the way he's turning a whole new generation on to Mack the Knife and other classic tunes these days. It's pure magic to watch him onstage during that number, and SO worth the price of a ticket in itself. Go see him if you can!

Hope to see you all at the Cassidyland chat too!

I'll be interested hearing David's version of "Mack the Knife". A great song covered by greats like Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Louie Armstrong, and "Lady Ella too"(Frank's words).

10-21-2001, 06:37 PM

I want to hear "Mack the Knife" also. A great song. Bobby Darin's version is the beat I've heard so far but I have yet to hear David's version.

batfink60 · 05-05-2004, 01:23 AM

I love Keith cuz he was so cute and such a dork.DC looks terrible with his hair so short.He looks like Michael J. Foxs' uptight older brother.I wouldn't expect DC to wear the old shag,but there are plenty of longer styles that would he would look great with.Aside from that,he looks fantastic!

ficlopri 2 · 05-21-2004, 03:51 AM

I find David Cassidy overrated, scrawny, and only so talented musically. I too like comely Shirley Jones a good deal.

Starsky's Chick · 12-21-2004, 11:51 PM

David Cassidy was a very handsome guy but let's not forget that red headed kid brother of his. What a fox! His smart ass comments just made him even sexier to me. David, you had some competition and didn't even know it.

David covered "Mack the Knife"?

I think Rod Stewart did.
