David Cassidy The Bell Years

When David Cassidy died in November 2017, the world didn't just lose the eternally youthful Keith Partridge. Cassidy was persuasive and versatile vocalist and a fine actor who prospered beyond the shadow of the fictional Partridge Family. Far from being simple fodder for the bubblegum crowd, the records he released as a solo artist were in many ways a continuation of the sophisticated sounds of the 1960s; indeed, enough time has passed that we can now recognize the Partridge Family records as

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. In fact, it was only just over a year ago that Cassidy took the stage at the Count Basie

dion laurie singles

Today, we're taking a look at two recent releases from Real Gone Music! Dion DiMucci greeted the 1960s on his own, just 20 years old but already a chart veteran with soon-to-be-classics like “I Wonder Why” and “A Teenager in Love” under his belt.  Those songs, though, were recorded with his friends The Belmonts.  When Carlo Mastrangelo, Angelo D’Aleo and Fred Milano wanted to emphasize doo-wop harmonies and Dion wanted to rock and roll, Dion and the Belmonts split.  How would the Italian kid

david cassidy home and gettin it

David Cassidy sure is getting a lot of love on both sides of the Atlantic. Almost simultaneously, reissue campaigns for the singer, actor and former teen idol were launched in the U.S. by Real Gone Music and in the U.K. by Cherry Red's 7Ts imprint.  The former label has already reissued 1974's Cassidy Live!, 1976's Gettin' It in the Street, and 1985's Romance.  7Ts began its own campaign with a two-fer of Cherish and Rock Me Baby (both from 1972) and is continuing chronologically with four

david cassidy cherish rock me1

Everyone remembers David Cassidy, the bubblegum pop king and teen idol supreme.  But Cassidy - still an active entertainer, singer, and actor today - was also a persuasive and versatile vocalist who stepped out of, and prospered beyond, the shadow of the fictional Partridge Family. Far from being simple fodder for the teenybopper crowd, the records he released as a solo artist were in many ways a continuation of the sophisticated pop sounds of the 1960.  Cassidy enlisted top-tier songwriters,

Real Gone Music is looking ahead to August, and it's going to be one hot summer!  The label has just announced new titles from all around the pop/rock spectrum: Gary Lewis and the Playboys, David Cassidy, The Grateful Dead and Johnny Mathis! Gary Lewis and the Playboys' Complete Liberty Singles first arrived in 2009 from the late Collectors' Choice Music label, with 45 tracks on 2 CDs.  This anthology definitely proved that there was much more to the group than just "This Diamond Ring,"
