Cassidy has always been one of the great vocal stylists of all time. This beautiful performance shows that. And he has skillfully sung in all popular genres: standards, piano bar music, bubblegum rock, techno rock, hard rock, show tunes, always with a gorgeous voice and his very unique, distinctive phrasing. Some day in the future the world will catch up and recognize this, and he will at last be given the lauds and praise that he has always been due.
His music is like an autobiography. Near the end of his life he described a revelation from God that poured into him and he dropped to his knees. I feel like he made peace with himself that day. Can’t wait to see him again… he’s at the top of my list to lookup on the other side. Still love and adore you beautiful inside and out David Cassidy. ❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️
I remember as a 11 yr old playing this favorite song on my record player from my bedroom. I put the speakers on the window sill and turned up the volume for the whole neighborhood to hear. He was larger than life to this fan. RIP sweet David.
Donna Rega The last couple of weeks, I just couldn't stop watching his videos and I was never a big fan of his in the 70s. Donny Osmond was my idol way back then and he stayed around for years, whereas David just disappeared in his 20s and being from the U K we never heard anymore about him. I didn't even know he had half brothers , didn't even know he had children. Everything about him just wasn't seen on our screens until his dementia was published. I just started looking back on his life and his beautiful music, the voice and just how sweet and quite he seemed. The lovely Partridge family memories and I realized just how talented and beautiful he was. An amazing voice and played guitar and piano. Donny was just a skinny squeaky clean little boy, but David was beautiful in mind and of course body. I just can't listen to his songs as it makes me really sad. Just don't know why its got to me so bad. I think as now I'm in my 50s, he was part of my growing up, my happy wonderful innocent years that have gone in time. I just can't listen the that song " Clown" gives me shivers. 😄😄
OMG he was IT . . . I' wasn't the type of kid that screamed and was a groupie; didn't get into any other of the idols, I mean I liked Donny, and Bobby Sherman . . . you know what I'm doing right now? I'm going year by year starting at 2008 forward to see when he exactly started to show signs of problems, be it alcohol, dementia (which I think was caused by the alcohol). I'm guessing during his Mom's final months and going forward from 2012, is when he really got into problems. I'm watching 2011 right now live performance . . . he is still sounding lush and breathy and is very upbeat . . . I'll keep you posted.
The most stunningly beautiful man to ever walk the planet, and with that blond hair it took him to another level. ❤️. Totally unmistakable voice, never be another like him. 💔
Thanks, enjoy this 80's look! " I LOVE YOU DAVID CASSIDY' " YOU ARE REAL" you're a clown whenever I need a laugh! You say the funniest things coming from a rock star and you are so clever in your acting! GREAT JOB and GOOD LUCK, SUCCESS to you always!
I always thought this song to be very sad. I'm listening to this teary eyed. his last words were so much wasted time. a little bit of heart is gone, does anyone have the lyrics?
I am a Clown, I am a clown Clown, you'll always see me smile, you'll never see me frown; sometimes my scenes are good, sometimes their bad, not funny ha ha, funny sad. I am a Clown, look at the clown Clown always a laughing face, whenever you're around, always the same routine, I never change, not funny ho ho, funny strange. Sometimes I think the world is a circus town Sometimes I feel like a lonely inside show Man on the flying trapeze, he ain't never comin' down He knows what I know if you look inside If I didn't hide, you might decide you don't want me; I am a clown, that's why I'm a clown, clown Just like the fool on the hill beggin' to come down I want to live again, oh, I want to feel Tell me you love me, make me real Tell me you love me, make me real Tell me you love me, make me real See the funny little clown, see the puppet on a string Wind him up, he'll sing, give him candy and he'll dance But be certain not to feel that his funny face is real Step right up and see him folks, couldn't you die at all his jokes Couldn't you cry at all the tricks, he'll come up with in a fix But be certain not to stray 'cause he'll steal your heart away
David Cassidy sings this song with such sadness. It's a sad and very touching song. Isn't it funny how the words kind of match what he went through? The laughing face, the make up, the mask, people loved him and he felt unworthy of it. He felt like they loved Keith, and if we knew him for real we wouldn't. He was real, he was a human being with flaws like everyone else and his fans looked up to him like some kind of God. "Tell me you love me, make me real." And Cassidymania was a bit of a circus too, wasn't it.
Love this song and David. Beautiful Video. Every time I see a video of him signing this song, he does it a little different & this song makes me want to cry. Love the blonde hair, his outfit. Everything about him. Does anybody know what the name of that show was he was on?
I was a teenager in the 80’s when he made a comeback in the uk, he was told to change his image and has he has stated in interviews was going grey at this point so dyed it blonde, it went with the 80’s style. I myself wore some horrendous stuff lol. Loved him whatever his style ❤️

The teen idol image did him no justice and killed his entire career.
I agree. He was true theatre. He didn’t fit in a box.
His music is like an autobiography. Near the end of his life he described a revelation from God that poured into him and he dropped to his knees. I feel like he made peace with himself that day. Can’t wait to see him again… he’s at the top of my list to lookup on the other side. Still love and adore you beautiful inside and out David Cassidy. ❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️

RIP DC. You will be missed. Fly free! Love the lil twinkle in his eye look he gives at the end of the song

Carol Haywood What Year would you say this is?

Boo hoo hoo. Yes, so true
RIP David❤️🙏🏻♥️
Not seen this before and it's lovely

R.I.P David Cassidy ! Thank you for the music and memories !
Thanks, enjoy this 80's look! " I LOVE YOU DAVID CASSIDY' " YOU ARE REAL" you're a clown whenever I need a laugh! You say the funniest things coming from a rock star and you are so clever in your acting! GREAT JOB and GOOD LUCK, SUCCESS to you always!
Still listen to your music every day. What a beautiful man X X
I love this song from his "Cherish" album
I adore this song.
I think it was a hit in the UK in the 70s, not here. I only heard it recently from watching a concert of his on You Tube.
The US wasn’t into his music. Not “cool” enough. Record companies afraid of theatrical types like him??
Yes. I do too.
Who cares what he is wearing?He still looks and sounds amazing!

Sometimes I think the world is a circus town
Sometimes I feel like a lonely inside show
Man on the flying trapeze, he ain't never comin' down
He knows what I know if you look inside
If I didn't hide, you might decide you don't want me; I am a clown, that's why I'm a clown, clown
Just like the fool on the hill beggin' to come down
I want to live again, oh, I want to feel
Tell me you love me, make me real
Tell me you love me, make me real
Tell me you love me, make me real
See the funny little clown, see the puppet on a string
Wind him up, he'll sing, give him candy and he'll dance
But be certain not to feel that his funny face is real
Step right up and see him folks, couldn't you die at all his jokes
Couldn't you cry at all the tricks, he'll come up with in a fix
But be certain not to stray 'cause he'll steal your heart away

get well David love you
just a little too late.
Love it! Thanks/ Everything! Bravo! The Best!
Thank you
This is how will aways remember him the day I went two see him in concert o heaven
He looked like he was trying not to smile at the very beginning of the song! Maybe that piano player gave him a look that made him smile? LOL
none of the radio stations near me never never play anything by David Cassidy, why is that?
Don't know. They're idiots?
They get paid to play crap instead?
That pop icon label I think.
You are right.That is so sad!!!
David never a clown his just missed mush if he only know
He is handsome sexy talented rip darling we will miss u sing free now love u ....any girl would fall in love with him.... God speed .
His music is so delightful... funny haircut though XD
Maybe you were born well after the 1990s never mind the 1970s
I know sent it before he passed RIP
You can't blame the man that was the style back then
He no clown u remember like this his smile and those eyes
I think David looked great. With a face that beautiful, he could get away with any hair style or colour.
His dark hair was the best! He was so sexy with it.I didn't like the blonde hair on him.
Bueno momentos ,que dio David, Q.E.P.D,
too late.... R.I.P
❤️❤️❤️
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
NICE CLOWN SONG
He was pretty for a man when he was young but lovely looking .
the hair and clothes no no no
This was not the 2000s
If you lived it, you would know there were much worse choices. The earring fad disappeared for most guys, thank goodness!
I was a teenager in the 80’s when he made a comeback in the uk, he was told to change his image and has he has stated in interviews was going grey at this point so dyed it blonde, it went with the 80’s style. I myself wore some horrendous stuff lol. Loved him whatever his style ❤️
Weren't those clothes and hairstyles horrible then?!! Seriously now.
You must have been born way after the 1980s
playback
look good, david lipss no sync
i go .....x
I did not like this song sorry David
