    I always loved his cute laugh. His whole face would light up and he’d look so happy. He was a beautiful man for a long time. It’s sad what he went through and unfortunately self medicated with alcohol to his death. He will always be my first love. I truly hope he made his peace with God and has finally found the peace, love and joy he always dreamed of ❤

    David was so special--much more gifted than he was given credit. He had a unique charisma. He was a bright star from an early age, and even through difficulties like addiction he remained a bright shining star with real talents.

    A gifted singer and writer. WOMEN READ THIS, AS U CAN ALL SEE, 80% OF THE COMMENTS HERE ARE FROM WOMEN. WHAT AM I SAYING? JEALOUSY HELPED DESTROY THIS GUY, EVEN HIS OWN FATHER RESENTED HIM, HIS LOOKS, SUCCESS, TALENT.EVEN HIS HAIR. WAS A BETTER SINGER THAN BON JOVI, JUSTIN BEEB, ETC... AS GOOD AS THE BEST OF THE 70S SINGERS WHICH IS SAYING A LOT. JUST TO NICE A GUY, HONEST AND GENEROUS. TO SENSITIVE A GUY MAN. EVEN THOSE JERKS STEALING FROM HIM PROBABLY DID IT MORE OUT OF ENVY THAN GREED. R.I.P DAVID. THE CHICKS MISS YA BUDDY. AND DUDES LIKE ME, WHO APPRECIATED YOUR OBVIOUS TALENT, BUT NEVER RESENTED IT.

    I am a dude that appreciates his talents as well. Sure, I like hard rock and metal....Van Halen, Boston, Ace Frehley (list goes on)....but have always been able to appreciate the likes of David Cassidy, Davy Jones, Ricky Nelson etc. Took a lot of guff for it in school but never cared. Funny how so many guys are so insecure about their manhood they can't engage in the fandom of a male performer that's charismatic and attractive. So bizarre.... Cassidy was a gifted singer and talented musician. He deserves more props than he ever got. Miss you David, you were a genuine great and a legend!

    @@garyhill2740 THIS!!! I am a single mom of one son, it pains me to see watch him struggle because “it’s not okay for men to express their emotions”. David and my son, as so many others, have a lot in common with the “absence” of their fathers. It deeply affects a child when a parent is absent. He never got over that. Kudos to you for saying this.

    He got, and threw away, millions of dollars. I'm thinking you thought Keith Partridge was a sweet, sensitive, loving, honest person, and somehow think that was David Cassidy. I don't think Susan Dey appreciated David throwing her under the bus in David's tell all book. In fact, she refused to speak to him for the rest of his life because of it.

    I knew David and you are spectacularly wrong. I adored him but he was violently narcissistic and self-absorbed. And he could be horribly abusive when drunk, which was often in later years. Ryan Cassidy (and to a slightly lesser extent, Patrick), are the angelic Cassidy brothers.

    A gentle soul whose longing to be loved and admired for his true talent probably never was realized. He succumbed eventually to the alcoholism that also afflicted his late father whom David really never received the love from that he also longed for. When people don't love themselves, even when the receive the adulation of many, it's often not enough to save them from their demons. David deserved better than what he ended up getting from this world and his death was a tragedy. He was a truly talented man and he is missed.

    It breaks your heart to hear how he was exploited so much...I recall his 1974 tour in Australia, we were all so in love with everything about him. I still cannot believe how the last years of his life, where he should have been sitting pretty and enjoying the fruits of his labour, instead he suffered poor health and bankruptcy. It shouldn't have ended that way to such a beautiful man. Makes me cry to see how he self destructed. Be at peace now David, you sure deserve it xx

    It makes you wonder, why so many in the industry didn't want to give David a completely fair shake, in terms of acknowledging his diverse talents? By the time he starred in Blood Brothers, I think it was all starting to improve; but really, you have to perhaps conclude that with David's extraordinary good looks, they didn't want to acknowledge his full range of gifts (just like many also do, with very stunning women).

I was lucky to see him in concert during his mania years (which I’ll always treasure) and ultimately meet him in Vegas when he was in EFX. My heart breaks on how he lived his last few years of his life. I can hope and pray that my precious David is now ultimately in peace in heaven and singing with Elvis... nice thought, huh?

    Sally Angus I agree Sally. David has never gotten the credit he deserves for his obvious talent. Being a singer & musician myself, it's not too difficult to identify the ones with talent. At least some talent of sorts. In David's case, his talent was wasted on The Partridge Family. Nothing against anybody else on the show, but other than David & Shirley, there was no other talent on the show...Lol. David can obviously sing, and he can play rthymn guitar. He was never really taken seriously because they knew they had the golden goose with his obvious good looks. So they decided to make themselves as much money as they could on his face alone, totally ignoring his musical abilities. And he's the coolest guy too. I have no idea how he ever kept that great attitude towards everyone that was trying to royally screw him. I feel so bad for him. He never, ever deserved to be treated the way he was treated. As far as I'm concerned, he went out with dignity, grace, elegance and class. R.I.P. David...Some of us know the talent you had, my friend!

I've been either playing guitar or singing since I've been a teenager... It certainly can be soothing when I need to relax. Unfortunately I'm not good enough to make a living out of it, so I guess I'll stick to what does make me a living...Lol Actually, you've inspired me to learn a Cassidy song or two!

    Starr Brannon Hi Starr. Thank you for your message. I am glad to be able to see so much of David through videos of him on the internet. I'm saddened that there are so many negative comments about this man, someone who's been described as being a wonderful person (except as a husband - even his brother Patrick said this in an interview). I've seen lots of videos in which David is telling his audience that the world needs more kindness. May I suggest that you do something kind for yourself - ignore the haters. There will always be an abundance of that type of person, and far too few of those whom we need in our life, and in this world. Many blessings to you and I wish health and happiness for you in the new year.

    Beautiful soul, I loved this because he explains that he loaned his money to people he trusted to at least remain loyal friends and they burned him. Now I really get why he was so down and isolated himself ending up on a friend’s sofa with nowhere to live. His confidence and security was broken many times. It affected him on every level. It was hard to watch his health deteriorate over the past 10 years I’ve been following him on his webpage. Heartbreaking. But this is good, it shows his child like hope rekindled. He’s an human being and vulnerable to self judgement like anyone. It’s awe inspiring to watch him stand up and be creative again. I focus on his positive energy. He made 3 major comebacks during his battle with alcohol. His loyal friend Danny Bonaduce said that takes incredible courage to do. He’s to be admired and given credit for this. Thank you for posting this, I’ve not seen David Cassidy so deferring before. He must respect the man interviewing him. I think he’s a great interviewer as well. Bless you David and all your faithful fans.

The truth is he can connect when he wants to and get right in to your soul even on tv and year ago this still affects me deeply, his smile, his striving and self-deprecation and his artistry. God bless David🕯💗🙏🏻

    pleiadian13 I am a new fan, i am 36 years old and i watched PF when i was younger in the 90s. I didnt get that into it, to be honest! I preferred the Brady Bunch LOL! However, when David died and i began reading about his life and how he handled it, i was in awe. I bought his autobiography on Google play and i could not put it down. He was just a regular guy who wanted to act and have a simple life doing what he loved. I too would be terrified to be that famous, especially like in his case, when he wasnt seeking it. Getting to see who he was from his book, youtube videos, and fan stories (you guys are so great btw! So loyal and loving) I am now a big fan. I love his candor, sensitivity, and how relateable he came across in many interviews he gave. Im so sad that i became a fan after his death and will not be able to tell him personally what an admirable, inspirational and down to earth person he was! 💔 r.i.p.

    Vanessa De Leon, yes, David was an incredibly talented and spiritual person. And a joy to follow, simply for those two things. I’m not surprised that you’ve found him. He left a lot for us to process and I thank him for all of it, even the difficult parts. The sound of his voice touches my heart even now. I am sad for what he had to endure and feel the videos here are a tremendous insight to his work and values, the mistakes in judgement. Unashamedly human, that’s what I love too💗 enjoy getting to know what we did as girls. I saw him when I was 11 performing. During the height of his fame I the partridge family. I had and memorised the PF album and Cherish by David Cassidy. I had a huge poster above my bed from the concert that literally made life worth living and at 10 years old we waited for every teeny bopper mag with info about David and the new photos! He was a well faceted personality. So much to love and admire.

    I never understood his relationship with his daughter. The mother raised her, they lived in different states . . . didn't even meet her until she was 13. Don't understand what happened there. But I don't believe David Cassidy was ever jealous of his daughter, unless I'm misreading what you wrote. He always said he was proud of her. Jack Cassidy was jealous of David however, never said he was proud of him, that's very true.
