What a charming beautuful and humble man David was. A delightful humanbeing. So very sad he ended up so unwell. May he rest in peace. He should be remembered for his talent and his sweetness.
Thank you for this interview! It shows your skill as an interviewer and as always, the wonderfully kind person David was. He just had an air of seductiveness to him, that made me crazy for him!! I still get that funny little feeling in the pit of my stomach when I see him or hear him sing!! Am I crazy ot just crazy for David!!❤
David was a very talented musician and singer, and a very underrated dramatic actor. I love his beautiful voice. Oh, what a great star has left us:'( My Respects! R.I.P. David Cassidy
David was the epitome of a prodigy. He was a phenomenal actor, singer, producer, musician, and performer. Just so great and and excellent that never received the awards and recognition that he deserved. David Cassidy reached the heights of success and worldwide acclaim from his fans and that continues to this day. Celebrate his legacy and we will never, ever forgot how much we loved you and appreciate your contribution to our lives.
Oh sweet David. I think this play fulfilled him more then anything else did. He seemed to be in his element, even though he loved singing too. Acting was his 1st love. He is so beautiful & awesome. We love & miss you SO much David. Thank you for making us HAPPY for in happy for all these years. Mr. Interviewer, you did a GREAT job interviewing David. You were so kind to him. Thank you for that.
I was fortunate enough to see David in Blood Brothers when he did the U S. national tour. I had been a fan of his as a teen and a friend of mine who had seen David and his brother Shawn in it when they were on Broadway said "Oh, this play was so great. If it comes to CT, you have to see it." Well, it did and I secured a ticket and I was mesmerized by this play and by David's performance in it. He was absolutely phenomenal as Mickey. To date, his performance is probably one of my most favorite performances in a play ever. His ability to play a boy of 7 up until a young many in his twenties was so believable and so heartwrenchingly real. I was moved by this play that I left the theater with tears stiil streaming down my face. It takes a special talent to be able to move someone this much and David had that in abundance. It's heartbreaking how David's life ended, but he did matter and he brought joy to many. He truly is missed.
A nice interview. So nice to see him here...thanks for being so courteous to David. He had such a big impact on me and it was frustrating when people didn't treat him with respect or do their research.
David was good in this play. Even my husband, whom I have to drag to anything Cassidy was impressed by the entire production. We saw Blood Brothers at Tampa Bay's Performing Art's Center in 1995. Fully pregnant I fell into his limo while getting his autograph on the Playbill. He noticed and smiled. I said something silly like "I didn't know you could do something that good". His interview was well thought out and sincere. It was like the young David of the 70's.
What a wonderful interview! My first time seeing it. I think it's the most down to earth interview I've ever seen with David talking about what really meant something to him and showing a side of him not many every saw...and he was comfortable talking this way. Now we just need David in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame! Much love from a long-time fan in England. RIP David.
Hall of fame? You can forget that as long as Clive Davis is alive. This man sits on the board and has a problem with David. Otherwise, DC didn't value being there 💕
Thank you. There was something so accessible about David. He wanted to share. I feel so privileged to have spent the time talking to him. He was a truly amazing actor.
It's really evident in this interview that David Cassidy hailed from stage actor parents. He understands that craft totally. Both his parents Jack Cassidy and Evelyn Ward were Broadway stars. I think Jack may not have found his professional home later, in the Hollywood film industry, as he had hoped he would but still a great actor. And of course David's stepmother the amazing Shirley Jones was and still is a gorgeous film icon. Highly talented American showbiz family. Always loved David and his personal shy persona. He was my hearthrob in the 70s. He is such a loss to us all. RIP David. Thanks so much for posting this wonderful interview of a highly intelligent man. Also qudos to the interviewer. Very respectful with no egomania. ☺💖
Wow, Mr. Baker. Kudos to you for a spectacular interview. Very Dick Cavett-esque. I think David Cassidy is one of the most underrated artists/entertainers of all time. A truly wonderful, grounded, caring, talented, intelligent intellectual human being. A great sense of humor too. (I think he got that from his dad... Good thing he didn't inherit the arrogance too.) Talk show interviews have lost their intimacy these days; which robs us from seeing or discovering the true person inside the artist. Your interview was spot on. You captured that. You captured his true essence in your interview, Thank you for helping show more people... David Cassidy.
David was such an mazing talented musician and singer. This is a beautiful interview. He made so many fans happy. Will love and forever miss you. My first Crush, my forever Crush ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for posting this and being so courteous to David, you seem a very nice person and come across as very respectful which is nice to see. David Cassidy has been an icon for many years and was never given the recognition or curtesy he deserved. He will be missed by many people for many years to come
so great to see him finally getting the serious acting chops he longed for for so long! wish he had stayed in new york...the partridge family almost destroyed him!
Beautiful man. The best interview I've ever seen. Not the loud, brash chatshows often seen but here we see the real David, talking so passionately about playing Mickey and truly thankful and humble that he was given the opportunity to be what he loved the most, a serious actor. I could listen to that for hours. If only he could have stopped the clock at that point when he was so content with life.
Thank you for your kind words. Seeing him in this play cemented my impression of him as one of the most gifted versatile actor/singers I have ever seen or interviewed.
David cassidy i have a major crush on you and i think i love you too rest in peace may you fly with all the angels in heaven i wished that you would've been able to still be alive because my heart's yours forever love your #1 fan joyce Cargle
Thank you so very much for sharing. Living in Spain was so hard to see and even know something news about David years back. I am so happy I can see this interview and so many other great videos thanks to internet and people like you who are able to share them now. And thanks as well for treating David as the very talented person he is and not just like a teen idol. Thanks from the heart.
I've seen Mr. Baker interview people before. But never have I seen him so "giddy" and somewhat in awe of a subject. Well few wouldn't be. He shows lots of reserve to allow David to speak his mind. He really gets that David is someone special and shows him the utmost respect. 🌹
Yes, there is such delight in sitting across from someone you admire. I think I get excited when I find a way into someone's personality through their work. Ask a question they have never thought of before, and you can make a friend for life. The catharsis actors get on stage is immeasurable.
Thank you so much for posting this wonderful interview with David! It was so nice to listen to his voice and to hear his messages. He was so well spoken, intelligent and spoke his truth!
He accomplished so much in his life. So hard to fathom what led him to alcoholism on such a level that his whole life unraveled. He successfully transitioned to a legitimate actor and singer internationally from UK, and Australia and the US. What a tragedy he suffered so much those last years. Always so insightful and grounded. Just baffling.
Fantastic interview he was such a humble guy with immense talent and so sad that he couldn't get on top of addictions ...So wish he had found whatever it was he was looking for!!!!❤❤ Stunning to look at n will be missed for everything he was ..His legacy will live on . Will see him in the next life xo
Great interview. I wish I'd met him because we would have a lot to talk about. I enjoy great conversationalist. David and I would have been great friends.
I watched this play on u tube it was a terrific play .David did a great job as Mickey.Anything David does he does a phanaminal job of playing a child .thanks for sharing this interview with me.
A short life mixed with much sadness and ridicule.but also a brief glimpse of happiness.i loved David as in Blood Brothers,a true talent,Gone but never forgotten,it's a shame we never got to see his funeral,❤️🙏🏼R.I.P.David ❤️
This is such a good interview. Finally asking him thoughtful questions about his Broadway work. Nothing about his personal life and problems. This interviewer is great and David answers his questions beautifully. I love it.
What an intelligent interview. As stated here you gave him the respect and time to answer your questions and what you got was an actor at the top of his game explaining his craft, this is what David confirmed he craved all of his life. I wish I had been able to see him in Blood Brothers. Thank you for publishing
HE WAS AMAZING & A GENTLE SOUL! I AM SO HAPPY I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET HIM AND SHARE HIS KINDNESS AT YANKEE STADIUM IN 2009, MY DREAM CAME TRUE. :)
David really valued his work and loved being a working actor....Blood Brothers gave him that. Wish there were so much more that could have been presented to him to try....he was so underrated as an actor. How old was he here? He is still so beautiful.
I feel like David Cassidy wound up in a way a lot like his father Jack Cassidy. Jack was unsatisfied with his success on Broadway in plays. All he wanted was a Hollywood career in the big movies. David Cassidy had enormous unprecedented success as a pop music star with a bigger fan club than Elvis or The Beatles. It turns out he wasn't even satisfied with that. All he wanted to be was a dramatic actor on Broadway. The irony hasn't gotten past me. I wonder if he ever realized that himself. Juxtaposition of life.
It was certainly my pleasure to share a few minutes with an amazing Icon and talent like David.
Lovely respectful interview. Thank you for this.
so sad how his life ended tragic and a loss to everyone rip david
David Cassidy ,Magnifique ,Wow, I loved The real David A Real blessing from God Above,The person I fell for😢

Thank you Starr - David made it so easy for me. We do miss him enormously.
He is so damn good looking, that's it's hard to concentrate on what he's saying. He's mesmerizing to watch

so intelligent, caring, humble, super talented, brilliant singer & actor, gorgeous David had it all...simply PERFECT! Love him always.
Thank you so much for sharing this. It warms my heart to see him so fulfilled and happy.
I was blessed to be able to spend some time with such a humble icon.
He’s so humble, candid, charming. Lovely guy - too sad about his “exit”... 😢
I love this interviewer's words. He described David Cassidy perfectly. Cassidy was a wonderful, passionate actor.
Thank you Laura. David was one of the nicest people I ever met. What a tragic loss. And the voice - truly amazing.
@@MM536798 Love love your message about David!
He truly was. David was an actor who could let the world in. Few if any can do that.
Wow - he was SO GIFTED .
Thank you for posting this interview. Lovely to see the "real" David.
I become so sad thinking about his end years . . . my heart literally hurts.
Thanks LoveinbloomDC. Mr. Cassidy is one class act and a marvelous person to interview. Very accessible and kind.
So glad we got to see the Best of David ,this was a fantastic..interview...Michael Thank you x
Beautiful man beautiful voice ❤️ RIP David 💔 We will never forget someone who gave us so much to remember 👏😢
A nice interview. So nice to see him here...thanks for being so courteous to David. He had such a big impact on me and it was frustrating when people didn't treat him with respect or do their research.
When one thinks of what he was able to accomplish you have to be in awe. I certainly was.
that was really great...thank you...the interviewer is so compassionate with david, very touching!

This was back in 1997. I agree completely.

This was a lovely interview, one of the best I've seen. You were so real with David & it brought out his true self.
Thank you so much for your kind comments.
He could read the phone book if that still existed. I would listen. 😍🥰💕
thank you for this video, regards from Vienna
I knew he was a great actor from his tv show ...David Cassidy undercover. Fabulous actor and singer
Indeed, he was a truly fabulous actor and singer.
This is a beautiful interview.
Thank you so much.
I feel like David Cassidy wound up in a way a lot like his father Jack Cassidy. Jack was unsatisfied with his success on Broadway in plays. All he wanted was a Hollywood career in the big movies. David Cassidy had enormous unprecedented success as a pop music star with a bigger fan club than Elvis or The Beatles. It turns out he wasn't even satisfied with that. All he wanted to be was a dramatic actor on Broadway. The irony hasn't gotten past me. I wonder if he ever realized that himself. Juxtaposition of life.
He has done so much for his fans! He spoke very well! Sure miss him so much!♡♡♡
I wish I could have seen blood brothers
Sorry forgot to ask could you tell us when this when this first aired, thx..x
JaneJan50 1998 aired
