@Amanda Owens David Cassidy was recording the Partridge Family TV show Monday threw Thursday. On Friday and Saturday he performed concerts with songs from the TV show and some of his songs as a solo artist. By 1972 Davis Cassidy because the world's highest paid live entertainer.
This song, The Partridge Family, & Mr David Cassidy take me back to a magical time when the world was full of promise, & anything was possible. I think that's what nostalgia is - a memory of a time in our lives when dreams had every opportunity of coming true, or already HAD. I wish for everyone a little "Partridge Family" in their lives.
@@evanisovich Hi! Not to shy away from the realities of today, but like Mr. Bob Seger said, "Wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then...". Thanks for your comment
Perfectly put. These were times of what seemed like purity to me, very little conflict, just exploring and learning about life and really not having much responsibility (I was 7 at the time). And these cultural touchstones bring that feeling flooding back in wonderful waves. I miss this time and feeling very, very much.
@@Ravenscroft82 Hi! I agree, friend. The world is a very troubling place right now. Wonder what our kids & grandkids will look back on with a yen for "the good ol' days"? Thanks for your comment.
I met David in 1971 the night before a concert he was giving at Monticello Raceway in New York. It was raining and he was the only other person sitting at the concession stand. He was wearing a suede floppy hat and sunglasses apparently an attempt to disguise himself. Me being a young teenage girl, I recognized that look that he was thinking Oh no here we go again. I told him not to worry, I wasn’t going to bother him and that I had problems of my own. (My mom and I had just gotten into a fight). He genuinely seemed to care and we just started chatting. I told him that I was attending his concert the following afternoon and he asked me what I was going to be wearing so he could pick me out of the crowd and dedicate a song to me, which he did. Terribly saddened over his death.
I clicked "PLAY" and all of a sudden I'm back in the old days, I'm a child, and life is simple and beautiful and I can't help but sing along. Love this song!!!
I used to have this small reel-to-reel tape recorder and I would record Patridge family songs onto it. I don't know what happened to the tapes. I was probably made to send them to Vietnam to my dad. I hated making those because it always made me super sad because of how much I missed him 💔😢
The weird thing is that everyone knows how screwed up the world is now but nobody talks about it. It's like dead silence on the other end of the phone.
I'm a singer, 52 years old. I was at a house party for Halloween about a week ago. My friends and I play requests. This song was a request, and while I was never a big fan of the PF, I realized I knew and could sing the whole lead vocal, even though I hadn't heard it in maybe 30 years. The staying power of a good pop song can't be underestimated.
So true. On TH-cam I have stumbled upon opening theme songs for TV series I watched as a child roughly fifty years ago (had since forgotten about), and it's astonishing how immediate the lyrics come back to you, as well as all the vocal inflections.
@@hd-xc2lz I am around the same age and I absolutely agree with you. I sometimes check out 70's commercials and can recognize almost all of them. Right on...
I’m in NewZealand and will be 62 in September. There were only 2 tv channels so every girl “knew” David Cassidy of my generation. He was so handsome and dreamy.
There was a reason we had so much happiness and simplicity during the 70's. - We had sustainably and a real spirituality before... The 70s was full of joy and happiness.
I grew up with the Partridge Family. He was on my plane once and he could not have been more pleasant or accommodating. He was very generous and stayed to take photos with the crew. RIP Keith!
This song is so underrated,calling it doctors office music, or elevator music. But you know what, this great hit is up there with the big boys. Believe me .
I think it was the harpsichord-like solo that did it; there was always stuff like that playing in the background while the drill was going into your teeth in those days. And my dentist hardly used any Novocaine. Ouch!
Way to go, Keith Partridge! You stood up for yourself the way women at this event were motivated to, and you didn't disappoint, with one of your family's greatest songs. Thanks for posting this gem. Rest in peace, David Cassidy.
A very,very talented young man then and later ...I loved the music and songs ...he was unrated and deserves so much more credit and fame then he got . ...There will never be another like him ..people today who didn't grow up in that Era, will never understand how truly Famous he was then around the world...I hated to see him leave us like he did ...but I truly wish him Love,Peace, and Happiness...God's Blessing,Grace,and Mercy ...Be Happy now David !!!!!!!
It’s hard to believe he’s gone. He was very talented and my sister had his poster on her wall for years as a teenager. I always liked his voice. And the show is still very entertaining and funny. It’s held up. RIP David Cassidy
Can anyone believe that David Cassidy had to convince the shows producer that he had real talent? David not only carried the show but became a star at the same time. He was a Superstar!
I remember as a 11 year old, in sitting in my dads '62 model Ford Falcon, driving to and fro moving into our new brick veneer house in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia and listening to this song playing constantly on the radio!Thank you David Cassidy and The Partridge Family for the great music and the great memories!
I fell in love with my husband because he looks like a mix of David Cassidy and Davey Jones...just as nice and down to earth as them too! RIP in peace to both of them.
It still his Birthday, it will always be his Birthday. Just because he’s not alive, doesn’t stop him getting older. I heard last week Charlie Chaplin was 132......
im a 62 born guy and damn do i love this . we didnt have a phone but we had a tv that was big lol. 9 kids and we all loved david cassidy and the partridge family . i also was a thunderbirds boy and a star trek fan . im in memory lane but enjoing it !!!!!!!!
@@andymatthews7617 we are all there anytime we want, thanks to U tube. You can find anything if you try. I’d rather live in the past as well as the present, for what’s necessary.
Yeah, I remember when he died. While I'm young, I admired his talent. This show was one of my mom's favorite and I know it broke her heart when he passed. Alcoholism is terrible.
Yeah, sounds like it. I know kidney and liver failure is terrible, but then again so are all deadly diseases. At least he had I heard on the news, all his family and people he loved around him. So, hopefully it wasn't too bad. Anyway, he was a good person and I hope his soul ends up in a good place!
The Song that OUT SOLD the Beatles!! Media and Pop Culture need to both Acknowledge and Respect that!! Thank you David Cassidy for all the pure and sweet memories of youth innocence (sp)
@@heartstrings7814 you obviously don't know what you are talking about. The Beatles total sales, not to mention their cultural influence, dwarf anything Cassidy ever did.

hollywood1rick Tell that to the 90 year old that can barely walk or movie. Age is not just a number it is a good barometer of the effects of years and what to expect. Just saying....
@das 1988 Indulge my Compulsive need to refine a quote worth pondering with constructive observations. If you can utilize words as you did "Barometer", you shouldn't overlook typo's like "Movie." Also, the proper application of the difference between effect and affect. You chose incorrectly with effect. Just Sayin.... : )
How I love this song and David Cassidy...as tragic as his life became, he was so loved and that voice! Thank you for all the years, singing me through my childhood...You are missed
I learned the words to this song when I was 10 years old. We lived in student housing at an Ivy League college in New England. There was a lovely family up the hill , Lori and Susie Keith. They taught me the song. Life was so fun back then. Those were the days when all the kids in the neighborhood played kickball til dark. They moved away the next year but every time I hear this song I think of them and how only 10 year olds could giggle over David Cassidy. Maybe some day they will see this video and remember too.
I was around 10 years old when the Partridge Family was on TV. I remember having a friend over for a slumber party and when David was on, she kissed the TV screen. lol.
My best friend - Debbie Peach and I loved this song. I know we drove our families crazy listening to the 45!!!!! It is wonderful having dear, dear memories of a friendship and being young. She moved in about 1 year after this - so the song is doubly meaningful. She has 4 brothers and I had a little sister and little brother. We played together a lot - my favorite was Spot Light!
Bless him. I know all the words and I'm having a wee trip down memory lane while my partner watches his golf. I'm now 66 and I feel blessed that I can smile when I watch and remember being in love with David and the partridge family.
I hope when generations look back. At musical history. At our most iconic performers/songwriters. Of the 20 century. David Cassidy will be included. Frankly, because he earned it and deserves it. Just like there will never be another Elvis. There will never be another David Cassidy. He was an original heartthrob, talented singer and songwriter.
Ameaningful, perfect composition, of a pop song a rock song & a balad put together. Hey anyome? Just exactly, that's there, not to care about? I t sings out emotion, = LOVE = & all the performers their tallents!
This video. The first time I saw an electric guitar. (Danny's) and I was smitten. 43 years later, I'm still writing songs, playing guitar. This show shaped my life. Beat the hell out of the Brady Bunch, hands down. I just watched and remember being 7 and asking my mom what an electric guitar was. Wow. Thanks, PF for .. too much to list. 😊
David Cassidy....thanks for all the fond memories of hearing you sing this song.....hundreds of times on Am radio in 1970 [KRFC- San Francisco ] Number 1 hit on Billboard and Part of the soundtrack of my youth. In the world beyond....... Peace to you........RIP David. Thanks for everything.
One thing is certain: apart from his incredible appearance in his heyday, his voice was so unique, soulful and powerful in one. He also wrote good songs, could play the piano and guitar. David Cassidy was not only revered as the best looking guy, but especially because he was a great musician! Thank you for the music. RIP David Cassidy
This song just keeps being good over and over!! What a great song and recording. Well sung by David Cassidy!! Why can't songs be decent and wholesome like they were here.
I used to watch this show religiously. This song still hits my soul. So sad to know the place where this was filmed will be no more. They already got rid of the fountain. So many great movies/shows were filmed there. PF being one of them.
Tony Romeo signature masterpiece. David was amazing , what a handsome man and that voice. Its funny the production company Screen Gems never knew David had such a great voice and agreed to let him sing lead along with his Stepmom Shirley Jones. And as they say the rest is history !
I was 5 as well when David's voice sang this tune!!! Great happy song!!! Rings true through the ages right up to today!!! RIP David. You were a fabulous performer!!!
This brings back nice memories. This song came out in 1970, when they created their first album under David Cassidy himself, and Wes Ferrell. I never get bored of any of these great songs. I enjoy David Cassidy, Shirley Jones, Danny, Susan, David Madden, and the rest. The Partridge Family is my favorite sitcom program. I never get tired of watching my box set of 96 episodes.🎵🎶🎼
David cassidy had an awesome and strong voice. He put three hundred per cent into his performances regardless of what was going on in his personal life. Rip david. Peace for you at last
Today, November 21, 2017, surrounded by family and friends, actor David Cassidy of the Partridge Family passed away at the age of 67. Rest in eternal peace, David
David Cassidy's passing is hard. What a wonderful talent! He will be loved and missed ....ALWAYS!! Bless his family, both families, T.V. and real life, he was loved by them all!! RIP David.
I WORKED ON THIS SHOW I WAS A LITTLE CHILD. I had Puppy Love with David, He was great throwing me in the air catching me. Rest his soul I still and always will love him miss him dearly . Peace "Zeppelin David for life"
The fact that David Cassidy and Shirley Jones were real life musicians and related gave this series a very unique touch of reality, which greatly contributed to its success.
I was in the 7th or 8th grade when this song became popular. I am now 62 and I can sing the entire song by heart. Nothing but good memories here.
I WANT TO GO BACK TO THIS TIME AND STAY THERE FOREVER.
We had so many good shows on TV then. Most everything is such garbage now. Television 📺 will NEVER be as good as it was in the 70's or 80's again!
@@DonnaM-tt5lv Absolutely Donna, miss those days so much, with all the madness that's going on now, I'd go back in an instant.
I'm 65 and I still remember all words. My fond memory singing this song with my best friend Debbie Peach. RIP Debbie.

don’t know about that one .... this was the 70s , no ? the world was well and screwed up .
Grew up in the 70’s watching this show , loved it .

I think it is wild that David Cassidy wanted to be a "hard rock and roller'. He was a great pop star.

hollywood1rick Tell that to the 90 year old that can barely walk or movie. Age is not just a number it is a good barometer of the effects of years and what to expect. Just saying....
@das 1988 Indulge my Compulsive need to refine a quote worth pondering with constructive observations. If you can utilize words as you did "Barometer", you shouldn't overlook typo's like "Movie." Also, the proper application of the difference between effect and affect. You chose incorrectly with effect. Just Sayin.... : )
YOU"RE a picky leadle WORTHSMYTH. I tell ya.......
He really did have a great voice.
Had this single on a 45, and my Mom said I was wearing it out!
The Partridge Family put out some good songs. Over 45 years later, I still remember the words.
It's GREAT! After school come home and watch the Partridge Family including other shows as well for kids.
WE HAD THE BEST OF TIMES, NOW ITS DEPRESSING.
Shirley Jones was always just so damn beautiful. Gorgeous.
Absolutely - she's breathtaking in 'The Music Man'..and yes, she had vocals :)
not wrong there Danny boy....bewdiful...
She was my first love ♥️♥️
Yes I could do her
Yes I could do her
How I love this song and David Cassidy...as tragic as his life became, he was so loved and that voice! Thank you for all the years, singing me through my childhood...You are missed
chelleluvseeyore very much so this type of voice doesn't come along to often if at all 😊
Dident deserve to pass the way he did, a great talent, very sadly missed.
Don't care what people say, this song is BRILLIANT!
People don't say it.
Totally agree, superb.
@@eugenedevere7687 no they don't
I learned the words to this song when I was 10 years old. We lived in student housing at an Ivy League college in New England. There was a lovely family up the hill , Lori and Susie Keith. They taught me the song. Life was so fun back then. Those were the days when all the kids in the neighborhood played kickball til dark. They moved away the next year but every time I hear this song I think of them and how only 10 year olds could giggle over David Cassidy. Maybe some day they will see this video and remember too.
I hope they saw the comment and hou in touch with you, we had the best days EVER.
I was around 10 years old when the Partridge Family was on TV. I remember having a friend over for a slumber party and when David was on, she kissed the TV screen. lol.
My best friend - Debbie Peach and I loved this song. I know we drove our families crazy listening to the 45!!!!! It is wonderful having dear, dear memories of a friendship and being young. She moved in about 1 year after this - so the song is doubly meaningful. She has 4 brothers and I had a little sister and little brother. We played together a lot - my favorite was Spot Light!
Rest In Peace! David Cassidy.
I agree it's sad I remember this song in 70s
Oh ya
Rip ❤️🙏.
moe dog
So sad!
Bless him. I know all the words and I'm having a wee trip down memory lane while my partner watches his golf. I'm now 66 and I feel blessed that I can smile when I watch and remember being in love with David and the partridge family.
JUST BRILLIANT, I WANT TO GO BACK TO THIS TIME AND STAY THERE FOREVER.
I hope when generations look back. At musical history. At our most iconic performers/songwriters. Of the 20 century. David Cassidy will be included. Frankly, because he earned it and deserves it. Just like there will never be another Elvis. There will never be another David Cassidy. He was an original heartthrob, talented singer and songwriter.
I loved he singing. I wore
A record album out when
I was a teenager. I was
In loved with him.
What a crush I had on him.
Ok. One of the best songs ever. It’s perfection for its time. I said it. Don’t care. Truth is truth
Ameaningful, perfect composition, of a pop song a rock song & a balad put together. Hey anyome? Just exactly, that's there, not to care about? I t sings out emotion, = LOVE = & all the performers their tallents!
The 70s was such an optimistic decade. David was an amazing talent. I’m forever sad that he suffered demons and passed away so young
The world went totally off the right track since those days.
This video. The first time I saw an electric guitar. (Danny's) and I was smitten. 43 years later, I'm still writing songs, playing guitar. This show shaped my life. Beat the hell out of the Brady Bunch, hands down. I just watched and remember being 7 and asking my mom what an electric guitar was. Wow. Thanks, PF for .. too much to list. 😊
Major cultural moment right there!
GROW UP WATCHING THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY IT'S BEAUTIFUL TO BE APART OF THIS IN MY LIFE LOVE IT TO THIS DAY. George McCorrister'
David Cassidy....thanks for all the fond memories of hearing you sing this song.....hundreds of times on Am radio in 1970 [KRFC- San Francisco ] Number 1 hit on Billboard and Part of the soundtrack of my youth. In the world beyond....... Peace to you........RIP David. Thanks for everything.
Timothy Hilton Beautifully written tribute.
Thanks dragonfly. "I think I love you" out sold "Let it be" by the Beatles in1970. Imagine that!

Yeah, I grew up with the exact hair what David hair style I'm 61 & still got
We must have a Partridge Family come back! Show this generation what they're missing!
This generation would just turn this into a meme.
Shame that David is no longer with us. Great guy!😀
@@jimduggan457 .. it would have been great if he was alive to reboot the show with him having kids who were now the Patridge family
@@Leadeshipcoach Stranger things have happened Mike, in the crazy TV world! Watch this space👍
I was 15 when I heard this song. I had a paper route and listen to this song on a daily basis.
One thing is certain: apart from his incredible appearance in his heyday, his voice was so unique, soulful and powerful in one. He also wrote good songs, could play the piano and guitar. David Cassidy was not only revered as the best looking guy, but especially because he was a great musician! Thank you for the music. RIP David Cassidy
Awesome music. Cassidy was a great singer and performer! :)
I remember when this hit song was on the radio before the Partridge Family premiered on TV. It was a wonderful introduction to the series to come!
This song just keeps being good over and over!! What a great song and recording. Well sung by David Cassidy!! Why can't songs be decent and wholesome like they were here.
Awesome
MICHAEL DAVIS Truth
R.I.P. DAVID.
my starling he was very talented
my starling 😢
I'm 63 years old and have every single Partridge Family LP on CD 💿 . Keith was my first love ❤ 😍 💖. So long, Sheriff Swell, we hardly knew ye. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I used to watch this show religiously. This song still hits my soul. So sad to know the place where this was filmed will be no more. They already got rid of the fountain. So many great movies/shows were filmed there. PF being one of them.
Typical, the scumbags, want to destroy our history, DISGUSTING.
Tony Romeo signature masterpiece. David was amazing , what a handsome man and that voice. Its funny the production company Screen Gems never knew David had such a great voice and agreed to let him sing lead along with his Stepmom Shirley Jones. And as they say the rest is history !
As young girl watching the Partridge Family everyday never missed an episode the song was great to hear and sing it too
GREAT INNOCENT TIMES, NOW ITS TERRIFYING.
@@andymatthews7617 I know, RIGHT??! But hey, we've still got the music...don't lose the groove, my friend 😎🎸
@@DoJ79 Absolutely, I will always enjoy the great sounds, hope you do to, take care.
@@andymatthews7617 oh yes..and you, sir 👍
@@DoJ79 cheers.
I was 5 as well when David's voice sang this tune!!! Great happy song!!! Rings true through the ages right up to today!!! RIP David. You were a fabulous performer!!!
I never cared about what anyone thought of anything..this is a golden song
Yes. While I was never really a Partridge fan, I always liked this song. It's one of those songs that takes me back instantly.
If you feel the essence of this song, it puts a warm feeling in your heart!
A great song tragic the way david passed
😥😥😥😥⚘⚘⚘
@@meloniewilliams1750 thanks for reply stay safe
man, were those the days! - filled with dreams of love and wonderful memories!
Truth Indeed AMEN 🙏
I will ALWAYS love this song dearly, no matter how old I'll be! When it's good, it's good! Period.
And it's fair to say that John Lennon knew a thing or two about writing great pop songs, right? LOL

That's easy for YOU to say!
David’s a very powerful & emotive singer, he’s fantastic!! 🎶💞
RIP to Dave Madden, aka Reuben. I loved this show when it came out, still do. And this is my favorite Partridge Family song.
Their signature song!!!! always will love this song, it never gets old! terrific song!!!!
This brings back nice memories. This song came out in 1970, when they created their first album under David Cassidy himself, and Wes Ferrell. I never get bored of any of these great songs. I enjoy David Cassidy, Shirley Jones, Danny, Susan, David Madden, and the rest. The Partridge Family is my favorite sitcom program. I never get tired of watching my box set of 96 episodes.🎵🎶🎼
@@ppa1809 I would catch my mom looking at him😉😎
GREAT MEMORIES.
You know what’s crazy? I haven’t heard this song forever but I remembered every word!!!
I first heard this song in 1970 and had a paper route. A great song.
David cassidy had an awesome and strong voice. He put three hundred per cent into his performances regardless of what was going on in his personal life. Rip david. Peace for you at last

@@m.e.d.7997 She was David Cassidy's REAL mom in real life!
@@Beamshipcaptain David's real Mom was Jack Cassidy’s first wife, Evelyn Ward.
I never watched the show, but I always liked this song. Call it "bubblegum" or whatever; it's really good!
@@mattgoldberg4335 NARM certified best selling single of 1970
The fact that David Cassidy and Shirley Jones were real life musicians and related gave this series a very unique touch of reality, which greatly contributed to its success.
I was just a teen at that time. I loved all kinds of music back then.
