gold cd

Happy New Year, and welcome to The Second Disc's Eighth Annual Gold Bonus Disc Awards!

In Memoriam: David Cassidy (1950-2017)

November 22, 2017 By The Second Disc 9 Comments

DavidCassidy2

Singer, actor and teen idol David Cassidy passed away yesterday at the age of 67. It seems so strange that the eternally youthful presence behind one of the most enduring pop hits of the '70s, The Partridge Family's "I Think I Love You," would not be with us--never mind having recently retired from the road to care for himself following a diagnosis of the dementia that affected his mother and grandfather.
