The Cassidy Collection.

in 1974, david cassidy and i recorded an 'open ended' interview' that ran approx. 20 hours. last year, the a&e channel did a brilliant documentary about david. i was one of people who spoke about him. during the course of the conversation, they broadcast a few minutes from those tapes. since then, i have been besieged by fans of the late pop singer to publish more (or all) of the recordings.
i have considered the various ways of sharing the subjects david wanted people to know about him, but was never afforded the appropriate platform.
at this point in my life, i do not wish to spend a year or two writing a book.
so, i have decided to share some 'excerpts' of our taped conversation on the channel with you
for free.

    These are an absolute treasure into David's insights at a very young age. I really think as he grew older, he finally appreciated his teen idol/Partridge Family experience and realized that without it, he would not have had the opportunities he got to have in his life. David never stopped working, singing, learning and trying new things. A talented, warm hearted, troubled soul that has left us way too soon. I think he always gave everything he had to whatever he was doing--a large audience, a small audience--didn't matter. He was so very loved.

    Elliot thank you for sharing. This interview has brought many emotions and deep sadness at times. My dad died in January 1972. I was devastated. My mom took me to see David in May 1972 in Salt Lake City Utah at the Salt Palace. I was upset at the concert because I was there to listen to David and enjoy his talent but all the screaming and pushing made it hard to truly enjoy. After the concert I was collecting magazines and posters for my room. I bought every album David himself put out. David gave a sad girl my smile back. My heart would break when I saw how hunted he was. He was in some way a prisoner. I am so very happy he had you as a dear friend, a true friend.

His work ethic was unmatched and his connections to those around him were unrivaled. I love hearing about David's grandfather and his deep love for him. David was bright and intuitive I would go so far to say that he was brilliant and insightful. I have loved listening to these tapes, Elliott. Thank you so very much. I loved seeing David's Florida home and the pride that you took there too. You were real and in pain. The world had a prize when you were born. The mold was broken when you passed.

I've read most articles, watched interviews , also The Last Session. .Because of David Cassidy I've understood many things about myself , addictions, dealing with depression, also have met great new friends and last but not least been for the first time in my life in the USA this year..I've been waiting for those tapes ,and I can't express my gratiude for you for posting .It has exceeded my expectations....I'm just speechless...It was just..amazing..Also the way you have conducted those interviews, the questions you asked and also that you let him speak..I felt like I was with you on this beach..I'm very deeply moved.

Stay active in their lives ! I always loved David and his story is very painful ! , his father was everything to him , I wish Jack would have given him that real father-son relationship and was not so stuck on his own self. I do think mental illness got in the way of this and it its such a vicious cycle !

    The part about the drinking & smoking is interesting because I remember I was disappointed when I saw him smoking in Calgary, Canada in '82 (he was doing a play called "Tribute"). But later, he said he quit. He'd also said something about not being able to drink anymore. Then in '83 he was drinking at JoAnna's Restaurant when we (fan club officials) met with him. But not a lot. He certainly didn't get drunk. He took his craft of acting very seriously & never missed a show while doing "Joseph." He quite a few plays (Blood Bros) was the best & had some "come backs" musically too. However, it wasn't until after Vegas that his drinking really got out of hand and started affecting him while he was doing concerts. I'd wondered why he was singing so many oldies instead of some of his new material as he used to say, "I'll never be an oldies act" in every interview up until Vegas. Then he became one & I knew it was he drank. David even said in one of his last interviews that he drank because he was unhappy about what he was doing for a living. He'd had offers after Vegas including "Phantom" in Toronto. But he was whipped out after EFX. It's too bad because he loved the theater. It showed - as he was always the happiest & nicest to his fans when he was doing theater. I always used to think that someday he'd get the right role in a movie that would make people take him more seriously and get great dramatic work. Travolta & even Michael J Fox got rid of their "teen idol" status that way. Sadly, he never really had a great manager & it never happened. However, he was an incredible talent & I feel so fortunate to have seen him when he was at his best, doing what he loved & even talk to him after shows.

    Thanks for this and would love to hear more. I think while David had periods in his life that were difficult for him, I think around the time he and Sue recorded his 1990 Enigma album he had made peace with much of his past and was happy, finally recording and acting in a way that was fulfilling to him. He seemed to be doing great and having success as David Cassidy the artist. Not that character that from that show he tried to distance himself from for so many years. He had a son with Sue and seemed genuinely happy with his life. Somehow, somewhere after the Vegas experience things started to deteriorate for him. Maybe he had done everything and had nothing else to accomplish artistically and had too much time to dwell on things which caused him to go down the path he finally chose, whether intentionally or not. I dont think he had a completely unhappy life, like anyone else it had its ups and downs. In the end he was only human like all of us and made mistakes like we all do. No one gets out alive, eventually we all move on. I've loved David most of my life as many people have, hopefully he realized how many people loved him. .

    I always wondered if a part of his after Vegas downfall was related to his mother's Dementia diagnosis and then death. The timing would have been about right, 2012 when she passed I think (?). He had said it was so difficult to see her that way, that he had to drink to numb the pain before he could even face her for a visit in her Memory Care homestead. Elliot you were a true blessing in David's life. Like so many others, David was purely an inspiration and influential to me. It's evident the hard work that went into bringing all of this to us.

    This is a wonderful example of how a little kindness can be such a blessing - to him, to you, and to all of us here listening more than 40 years later... As I listened to my first favorite artist reveal himself to you Elliot, I fell my heart burst as I wanted to shake you both saying, Don't you get it? Considering his whole trajectory, the fact he was thrust into a live concert performance with virtually NO preparation, rehearsals etc...but that his considerable artistic chops emerged in the throes of being dropped into that situation. It PROVES that he was an artist capable of creating through this medium, even though it was not his preferred flavor or genre. He did create. Despite this, he Did make us believe in Summer Days, Waking up In Love, and more. And for those of us who did not have a family, nor brother like he portrayed, or were denied parental approval, or worse yet felt and endured that jealousy from a parent, we too found a seat in that living room a few hours each month. I dare say though, that it must have been bittersweet, to be cast in the role creating an existence which had to amplify the contrast of his own family situation. Had to feel like a two edged sword at the time. I pray that he understands all this now in eternity. I pray he has a high now, far surpassing those he spoke of here. I pray that now the veil of our limited human perception in this life has been lifted, he can see more clearly. We are all eternal beings living in a temporary situation. This body, this "earth suit" we each have is temporary. Our existence however, goes on. Yet, I am grateful I got to see him in Cleveland twice during the early years. These were the first concerts I had ever been to as a youngster. As an adult woman who'd been through the many valleys that living this life entails, I was looking forward to seeing him in a more intimate setting at our local fine arts venue. A fitting kind of bookend to my interesting little life. Anticipating the day of getting my tickets while mowing the lawn, I heard the radio announcement - he was cancelling his tour due to dementia. I was crestfallen in that moment but quickly reminded we all experience change with the passage of time; And just how precious every moment is and not to take any of it for granted.

    He was extraordinarily beautiful, especially in his prime. Later I didn't like his appearance style so much anymore and still even later, marked by his addiction, it could no longer be compared with his former appearance. However, it wasn't just his appearance that was fascinating then, but also his extraordinary voice. And so these both sides together made his great success possible. Said in few words: No matter what ultimately led to David Cassidy succumbing to his addiction later, he was then the biggest teen idol and after still for many years a great talented singer, with a unique voice, but songwriter too and thoroughbred musician and so I will keep him in good memory !! RIP

    I am watching and listening with a heavy heart; seeing David Cassidy was my first concert at the Rhode Island Auditorium on April 5, 1972. I remember when I first heard "I think I love You" on the radio, my eyes flew open with excitement . .. then to see this great looking, seemingly fun loving teenage character he portrayed quite nicely . . . I was hooked. Thank you for sharing these tapes. One thing that struck me when you were talking about the screaming fans . . . I never understood that. . . . I attended his concert with my parents . . . who were subjected to the hundred's of shrieking young girls my age . . . although I was 15 and perhaps a year or two older than most . . . but MY GOD, I hated the screaming . . . it made no sense to me. How could this be, he was singing his heart out, he was barely heard - - it made me crazy, and my parent too . . . and you are correct, my Mom adored him too. Let's face it, he was beautiful . . . hair, smile, character . . . I loved Keith but always knew it was a character he was playing. I am in awe that you lived next door to him and befriended him . . . still.

He had a depth of character we were never allowed to see, despite the fact that we would probably have adored him more for his sensitivity. We miss him more with each passing year as we carry on growing old with only our memories of him to comfort us.

    Good interview. Wish David had provided more specific details from Meredith's perspective: what she talked about, what she felt, and what she experienced. With respect to David and in fairness to Meredith, no one wants to be a lover's psychotherapist. Just my opinion, but I believe David was deeply attached to unrequited love perhaps because of his father's rejection of him. May he has found the peace that eluded him in life.

I loved David in the show but never knew he sold out on top . I never liked his songs I only liked the music he liked him self. But living and watching his life and listening to the tapes is just how I imagine has story went. But hearing him tell of the first concert was what I new happened, but hearing David tell the story is over the top and gave me a good laugh. David Your the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you for being such a good friend of his and letting me here the tape from 1974 best thing all year like finding gold to me. I was living in Cincinnati Oh then and I am still here now biengood as I can be. God bless you sur. And thank you for your good work.

    Wow, how interesting to hear David's words about events in his life. I was one of those young girl's that had David Cassidy posters all over her wall during the Partridge Family years. David's acting, touring and promotion schedules were grueling, no one could keep up with that and remain healthy, alcohol or no alcohol. The lack of security for him and his team and not allowing him sufficient time to prepare for his first performance, negligence is the only word that comes to mind. Who could blame him for saying enough is enough? I think that probably angered some of the wrong people and that hurt his future. I remember that white fringe jumpsuit from one of his concerts and I thought it was kind of "Elvis". As young as we were back then ,marketing really messed up because his audience was a growing up and they should have marketed him to high school/college age audience. His struggle kind of reminds me of Gregg Allman. I grew up in the town where the Allman Brothers made their music. I have been lucky enough to be on the side of the stage listening to Gregory play. Seeing Gregg cry during his interview with Dan Rather talking about substance abuse and going to rehab 14 times was heartbreaking. I read David's book and saw his interview on Piers Morgan . David seemed to have so many things to deal with in his life that would be difficult for the best of us. It is just heartbreaking that he was not able to remain sober and find peace and happiness in his life.

Notice who soft spoken, and patient he is! He also KNOWS his subject. That is rare these days! These kids on tv know nothing about their subject except maybe a paragraph or two off of Wikipedia! The above explains your all enjoying these interviews to the point where you: do not wish to shut them off and want a lot more! Think about that! I know of which I speak.

    Something I notice in this interview is that he will consistently admit to doing this or that and then quickly say, "well no I didn't really, or well yes I did but only a little" which is foretelling of his alcoholism and death by it. He finally admitted in the end that he's been lying about his alcoholism and on Dr. Phil. I believe his wounds which he was not able to heal were largely due to his difficult relationship with Jack Cassidy and Jack Cassidy was one of the powerful role models of his life, so his impact on David's alcoholism was ENORMOUS. I'll always love you, David Bruce Cassidy.

    Thank you, Elliot! These interviews are a rare gem! David is so open and unscripted with you, which is such a departure from most of the interviews I’ve listened to online in which he basically sticks to a limited set of stories and talking points. When I was a little 5 year old kid totally infatuated with David Cassidy, he was so inaccessible, so not-of-this-world in my eyes, that it was hard to think of him as actually real. After he dropped out of sight in the mid 70s, I lost touch with him and his career entirely. Except for two instances when David's and my paths somewhat crossed (one in 1987, and one in 1993), I had no idea what he was doing, or if he was even still performing. It took his death (sadly) for me to catch up on the 45 years of his life that I missed. Elliot, your commentary is excellent. Very thoughtful and incisive. Your interview style is also very good - the way you keep David from veering off into tangents, and ask him to go deeper into descriptions of events and feelings. Your style reminds me a little bit of the late Brian Linehan of Toronto. He was a master. Thank you for posting this. Please consider releasing all the audio over time! Such fascinating material!

I do remember my mother telling me that he looked 'tired'. She could see his burden etched on his beautiful features. I understood many years later. How I wish I could tell him I am sorry for the times it got too much for him, how it impacted his life in some way or degree every decade thereafter. He had a beautiful, unique speaking voice.

    Thanks for sharing these precious tapes, Elliot. I've watched most of DC's interviews over the years and I have boiled it all down to this.......... The young David had a future image of himself from a young age. Part Rock God like his heroes Clapton, Hendrix etc. Part respected actor playing roles of gravitas and import. He also had a self-destructive, burning desire for his father's full attention and respect. Jack Cassidy was a full-blown narcissist who not only DIDN'T show his son any respect at all but actively worked to put David's achievements down because of his own jealousy that his son had far eclipsed him. A terrible father who , in my opinion, was the biggest cause of most of David's issues. Then, of course, Jack kills himself with a dropped cigarette on yet another drunken self-pitying binge , thus leaving DC NEVER being able to resolve his relationship with his 'father'. Sadly nothing - even his later successes on Broadway and in Vegas - were enough to convince David that he had fulfilled his potential. Ultimately, he looked at his career as a failure. And here I have to be honest and probably very unpopular.......... I don't believe that David had the level of talent needed to achieve his dreams. I personally believe that he was a great singer - instantly recognisable and unique. His acting and song writing skills were , I'm sorry to say - average. Charming but not outstanding. I guess he spent his life tilting at windmills while simultaneously being overshadowed by his dead, undeserving father.

We have much to be grateful for and it is oh so sad that he was not able to overcome his demons and sadly disappeared into the bottom of a bottle. However, these wonderful, entertaining and lucid recounts of his perspective and experiences are surely important as a historical record. Somewhere amongst them there is a great but ultimately sad film s just dying to get out. Let's just hope that any such project serves it purpose well - send the tapes to Dexter Fletcher!

This is by far the best interview I've ever heard, and I could also listen to YOU for hours. Thank you again and again, have a wonderfull 2020 and PLEASE publish more of these tapes.

With all of your knowledge and respect for David Cassidy and any one else who crossed your path it is so refreshing to see someone such as yourself not looking for a quick buck and I feel when and if you write your book,you would write with honor and respect.

    Thank you so much Mr.Elliot Mintz! I came across this material and your youtube channel by chance and spent today listening to the priceless tapes you have so kindly and generously posted! I, as so many true fans, have loved David since he became known to us all in the 70s. I saw him in concert in Toronto with my mother and the next year we moved to The Azores Portugal thus losing any form of information on David since 1973 until the internet came about. I´ve always wondered what he was really like and these conversations with you show us the real person, a side that only those closest to him knew. I am very interested in your other material published here on your channel as well as your official site. Very captivating and cultural education in so many aspects. Thank you again.

    Dear Elliot . Thankyou so very much for sharing your incredible memories and times spent with David.As a kid growing up in Australia and being obsessed with the US and the Partridge Family David was my idol and all l wanted to be ,although It wasn’t particularly cool to be a devoted fan being male ! After losing my older brother in a tragic car accident David helped fill a massive void in my life and brought happiness to an otherwise very dark and very difficult time in my life . I never stopped being a fan but like most people never realised how much pain and sorrow David endured whilst bringing so much happiness to this broken world . What he had to cope with took a very unique and special soul to be able to endure . David was not only incredibly talented but l also feel he was extremely wise and highly evolved for his years ..God bless and look forward to seeing more of your work.
