lp.constantcontactpages.com/s... David Cassidy Of the Partridge Family Dead at 67
The singer and actor died of multiple organ failure earlier today at a Florida hospital.
From September, 1970, until March, 1974 we knew him as Keith Partridge, the eldest son in the TV show The Partridge Family along with his real-life step-mom Shirley Jones. With the Partridge Family he had hits like “I Think I Love You” which reached #1 on the Billboard Charts in 1970. He also reached the Top 40 with "Doesn't Somebody Want to Be Wanted,""I'll Meet You Halfway,""I Woke Up in Love This Morning,""It's One of Those Nights (Yes Love)" and "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do." all were from the early 70's. As a solo artist he had hits with “Cherish” in 1971, “How Can I be Sure” the following year among others. He peaked in the early 70's where he played to two sellout crowds of 56,000 at the Houston Astrodome in Texas.
Cassidy also appeared on “Ironside, Adam-12, Bonanza, Marcus Welby M.D., The Mod Squad, The F.B.I, Police Story” where he was nominate for an Emmy Award, Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Blossom, Malcolm in the Middle among others
His parents were actors Jack Cassidy who died in 1976 and Evelyn Ward who passed 2012. He was married three times, His first wife was actress Kay Lenz, He was also married to horse breeder Meryl Tanz, and he divorced his third wife just last year Sue Shifrin who wrote songs for Tina Turner, Heart, Al Jarreau and Michael Jackson among others.
Cassidy's life had been on the decline for quite a few years. He filed for bankruptcy and had a few DUI's.
Last February Cassidy told People magazine was battling dementia and couldn't remember his own lyrics. He's also had problems with substance abuse. - by John Beaudin

David Cassidy should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...for his great music and hard work great person who loved to sing and play music.
It's so annoying when people refer to classic t.v. show as 'corny'. One man's trash is another man treasure. These shows have been popular with fans for decades.
The show was not corny it was totally amazing!!! AMAZING!!!!
R.I.P. TY for the many great songs that I grew up listening to some top the charts some didn't but they will forever be in my mind an heart with fond memories of my youth. Prayers out for your family an friends.

So sad, he was a big part of my youth. RIP
He was irresistibly adorable!
RIP David and thanks for the great songs.
I used to love watching David Cassidy in The Partridge Family,a Brilliant Singer,he will be missed.
I am the same age as Danny Bonaduce. My slightly older sister was a rabid David Cassidy fan with posters all over her walls and all his records. We watched all of the Partridge Family episodes. Those were special times. It's hard to believe that he's gone.
RIP Dearest David Cassidy, God Bless you, and thank you for bringing so much, joy, to so many of us, what a truly wonderful life, you had,.. God Bless,..!
I really loved all his songs and he was my favourite singer... I watched The Partridge Family sitcom and bought the album too... He passed away on my birthday 21st November when I just turned 68 years old.... I was so down and sad as we have lost another great singer in the history of music... RIP in the arms of Jesus David.... You will always be remembered and loved by all of us.... Amen...
He just seem like a good guy. I was a big fan back in the early 70's. Rest in peace💔
A lot of women are sad today. He was loved by many.
RIP, beautiful boy, love you xx

ElledieWildAndFree He sure was beautiful and now he's beautiful in Heaven.
David Cassidy had a golden voice which in 2017 is really a rare thing to find. I remember putting posters all over my walls when I was about 8yrs old he was 8yrs older than me and I had my walls covered in posters like I had done with alot of singers posters back then. He definitely was a heart throb and it's wonderful he has as talented children as himself. To David's family I'm glad his suffering is over and that you will keep him close to you in your hearts. He will always watch over you even though he's not of this world anymore. I never ever missed the partridge family show he sang on and acted I never missed the reruns and if I was old enough I probably wouldn't have missed any concerts either when they came to the city I resided in. I always spent my allowance just to get the posters out of the magazines when I was a kid. He had a wonderful smile and eyes that would some how draw you in and a wonderful personality. I send my thankyou to his family's for letting our generation as well as thank David for giving of his time to share the gift of his voice with the world. May he now rest in peace. He will be very much missed.
My first love: Keith Partridge. RIP David Cassidy - I think I love you. As Keith Partridge you set the bar so high that no guy could ever reach it. Hmm. Still looking.
I was only 7 years old when The Partridge Family came to TV. Living in Australia, I was infatuated with David and use to sing the many songs, he sang. I have developed many tears today whilst listening to songs like Cherish & I think I love you. Thank you David for the wonderful memories, I hope the loved ones left behind, are aware of how many fans in Australia David had, I am one of them. Please take solace knowing we are all thinking of you and are in our prayers. May his life be continued through his love for you and the hearing of his wonderful songs and more importantly his voice...so mesmerizing. Lots of love from Jane xxxx
Man was so under rated. He could sing world class. He was kind. Respect. Bless.

It is truly, a great loss. God Bless you David, for making us, all happier, while you were here.

That was a very sweet and spiritual thing to say. I hope you don't mind if I use it one day
The show wasn't corny for the times, a time of relative innocence compared to what we see in Hollywood movies and music today. It was my escape into a wonderful world, and would have loved to have a brother like that. RIP
My first love, RIP David fly high with the angels, you will be sadly missed.

R.I.P David Cassidy ❤ thank you for the music Xx
He had a wonderful life & a painful life. Isn’t that life? He was loved and very talented. I wish he remembered that. Loved his voice and wish he had it easier at the end. God bless him.
take heart that David had a good life and blessed this world in the time that he was here. Remembrance. I heard 'I think I love you' when I was 6 years old and thought myself an adult from the moment that I heard and understood its meaning. This will hit many people hard at this time of year, give thanks for all that he gave, remember, we all feel this together. Love is all there is.
RIP David you'll be selfishly missed...prayers to his family 💖💜
❤️ Rest in peace David Cassidy. 1950 - 2017 ❤️ Thank you for your music Keith Patridge 😔
David Cassidy had a great singing voice. Grew up with the Partridge Family. He was the reason for the shows success. RIP DC.
This saddens me to the core. David was one of my first loves. I was lucky enough to see him live at SUMMERFEST in Milwaukee back in the early 70s. I was also lucky enough to have had him wear a shirt that I made for him on an episode of The Partridge Family. I loved his voice as well as his acting. I pray he finds the peace now that he couldn't find on earth. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. God Speed David. You join the other David's Bowie and Jones. 😭💔🎤🎸🎥💝😖
Had the biggest crush on David, he will be missed . Love and prayers to his family.
I believe he had a solo top 40 hit in the late eighties or early nineties which brought him back into the spotlight for a short period of time
Oh David cassidy this Hurt's my heart truly you we're a real Star I loved you're beautiful David cassidy eye's you'll always be within my heart an soul you're memoirs lives within my loving heart I'll remember you always you truly we're dream a lovely guy in ever way I truly miss you
So sad to hear about the death of David cassidy. I use to watch the partridge family as a kid. My older sister use to have a crush on him. Rip
There are a lot of broken hearts in the world today, including mine. The news of David Cassidy's death is everywhere, and everyone who loves him is mourning the loss of a beautiful human being. I cried more than once when I heard the news last night, and I know I'll cry again. David Cassidy has been one of my favorite people since my childhood in the 70's (I was born in 1968, so I missed out on Cassidymania back in the early 70's. I was simply too young. But I became a fan later in the mid-70's when I began grade school and reruns of The Partridge Family were being shown on weekday afternoons.). I even had a Gray Tabby polydactyl cat named Cassidy, who was named after David. My Mom and I found her in October of 2001 as a stray kitten. Cassidy passed away in May of 2014, and is terribly missed. I have so many fond memories of being a fan of David Cassidy. I always thought he was so cute with his beautiful, sparkling eyes, his glowing smile, and his long, feathery hair. I also love his adorable, infectious laugh and his cheerful, vibrant personality. And his voice! Ooh, that sexy voice! Just seeing David on TV cheers me up whenever I'm having a bad day. When Nick At Night began airing reruns of The Partridge Family in 1993, I fell in love all over again. I listen to more country music than anything, (Hello George Strait, Alan Jackson, Kenny Rogers and Blake Shelton!) but David's music is pretty special to me, too. I saw his EFX show in Las Vegas in 1996, and I've seen him in concert twice. The first time I saw him in concert, he sang "No Bridge I Wouldn't Cross," and he looked right at me and took my hand in his! The moment lasted only a few seconds, but it's a moment I'll treasure forever. The world feels like a sad and empty place without David Cassidy. The past 67 years that he was here with us have made the world a better and brighter place. I just wish I had met David. I know when my time comes to go to Heaven, I'll meet him there. Thank you David Cassidy for bringing so much joy into so many people's lives, including mine. Thank you for being you. My heart goes out to your family and friends during this sad, difficult time. The world won't be the same without you, but I know you're up in Heaven singing with the angels. Rest in peace. You will always be in the hearts of those who love you.

RIP,,MATE ,DAVID ,,From Micheal, ,Sydney Australia
David had an unhappy time in love but he was truly loved by millions of women all over the world.
David Cassidy, who didn't like David and the partridge family? I did,67 far too young! Right he had his problems,don't we all.There ain't no angels here! But there is also a person called Keith Richards who has outlived all his compadres and should be included in the Guinness book of records for longest lived hedonist! Anyway David rest in peace and I for one recommend you for heaven!
Thank you for making this video. I was hoping you would.
R i p thanks for the great music

I'll tell ya right now......we have all made mistakes in our lives.....every one. FYI......you forgot to mention that David Cassidy had the BIGGEST FAN BASE in the world. From now on......only report the good!
