    David had talent ,charisma and obvious sex appeal. He was treated badly by alot of people including ones he thought he could trust so that would not help with his predisposition towards alcohol. He deserved so much more and though I never saw him in later years the shows he did cemented his talent ie blood brothers, efx..gone too soon and sad that he mayb never got peace and total happiness .hope he does now ..🌹🌹🌹❤

      I couldn't have said it better. I think that's why I grieve so. I feel we had a part in it as we elevated him to such a beloved level that for years he COULDN'T have a life. His dad (an alcoholic) also created deep seated issues for him which David never reconciled because of his father's tragic death while David was in his 20's. And then there's the alcohol... But even that wasn't understood in terms of addiction and genetics until the last 20 years or so. He never got to enjoy David Cassidy the way we did.

    I had David’s picture all over my room as a kid. What’s really funny is that some of the lyrics to Partridge Family songs, taken out of their bubble-gum context, could be rather suggestive. “I’ll treat you like a woman, love you like a woman...” “One night stand is all I am...” And there I was at 8 and 9 years old singing them at the top of my lungs, LOL.

    In addition to his beauty, David Cassidy was an excellent singer and humorous actor who gave his rather shallow role as Keith Soul. Too bad that he got no real chance with his exit from the hype and the role as a teen idol. Respect for the fact that he then went his musical way apart from the big labels, with his own songs and lyrics. But actually he deserves a lot more honor than he got - even if his fans always stood by him! RIP David Cassidy.

Im saying this I was afraid of fights I was only 5'6" Tall. I surprised myself how much I could drink being that small, also that I had Girlfriends being that small. Lucky me girlfriends liked to party like me. It was cool seeing those 70s girls having the hots for those Long Hair Rock Stars. Did get to see big bands Rolling Stones Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Bob Seger, Doobie Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Greatfull Dead, Neil Young, The Who, The Clash, Country Singer Alan Jackson. I grew up in an IRISH Family 10 kids. Mom & Dad both had IRISH names O'GRADY - KELLY. Parents were crazy raising 10 kids. IRISH Familys are known for having lots of kids.

    I really wish we had shows like this on today family oriented instead of all this reality stuff and crime shows. Today's society needs shows like this. It's a shame his childhood was so sad to bad his father was so jealous. David said in a interview all he wanted was praise from his dad and he didn't get it. David lived a lifestyle like his dad in some way but you know his dad was the only example he could go by. David had to live with the fact the fan was so distraught during one of his shows she passed away. What an awful memory he had to live with. One thing I always wondered was what kind of relationship did Shaun, Patrick and Ryan have with Jack I never found anything to let me know.Does anyone know? So anyway if David had a different childhood I believe he would have been with us longer. I think Shirley was the only adult image he had to look up to. David is sadly missed one thing I wish I could have seen him live.

      It would never be as good as the original. This has been done before. Remember "In Search Of The Partridge Family?" It was a huge flop. Only one episode was shown, and that was it. The original Partridge Family was the best. It just wouldn't be the same without the original actors.

      Once innocence is gone it can never be regained. It was a much more innocent time back then. Unfortunately, the world is a much darker place now. At least we still have the memories.

    Being a teen idol is the kiss of death for any actor. Means you cannot act. See Scott Baio

    David Cassidy was a fool for trying to be a rock star. Who on earth would take him for a rock star. You have to know your strengths and limitations. His father was an alcoholic and David must have known he could be one too. Too many people don’t appreciate their successes and are blind to their limitations. You can’t be something just because you wish for it.

      Seems like a lot of people all over the world took him for a rock star ! I was a teenager in the 1970s and David cassidy was bigger than the Beatles and Elvis combined And no one more popular since !!! ....✌

      Well Gerald his dad had bi-polar disorder yes David drank but he had to take care of his mom by himself. His mom had a lot of problems with her memory the fact you don’t call him a rock stars is kinda stupid because he sold out so many stadiums in hours. I like Elvis but David was one a kind. Tell me something Gerald did you have a dad? David didn’t really because he was so jealous of his son which is very stupid. You think can what you want of him I think he brought a lot to the 70’s the best music was the 70’s best decade for music in my opinion it’s just sad that he drank himself into a early grave. He was lonely so very sad.

      David Cassidy was neither a fool nor did he want to be something he was not. The opposite is true, he wasn't Keith Partrigde! And didn't want to be a teen idol and make money for the music industry. So he got out of this hype and had the right to do so! Then he moved away from the big labels that locked doors for him after he got out. He turned to small labels and created his own songs. He had a fascinating voice, played guitar, piano and drums - he was a real musician! These are the facts.

      Danny Lee, According to the video he wanted more than the bubble gum music he was doing. I think he should have been satisfied with his enormous success at that time.
