David is such an advanced soul, feeling so much sadness for his situation as I had a father that was quite difficult too.... these questions his dad asked and the way David answered them show what a gentle and forgiving soul he is. I wish you could know what a great impact you had on me back in the early 70s, I was 13 at the perfect time when you were at the height of your powers - and I was lucky enough to see you at Wembley. So much love 💖💖💖

I love the way he sang Danny Boy! His voice is so melodious!

Awkward, honest, open hearted, talented David. He did well in this with some really direct questions being thrown at him. I hope he found the love and light he constantly gave out ❤

Thank you so much for sharing this audio and the beautiful fotographs❤

Greetings. As a musician I appreciate the kind words for Mr. Cassidy (David, that is). And “Danny Boy” was a beautiful and marvelous choice. I do question the use of the word sarcasm for Mr. Jack Cassidy, as I thought sarcasm concerns word choice, facial expressions (not seen), as well as tone of voice. But there is a studied quality to his accent, something like British nobility. However, sarcasm as such I do not hear. I would be interested in what someone else thinks. Thanks for posting this recording.

As a young child I was planning on going to the show David is talking about at the Garden State Art Center in Homedale, New Jersey but it never worked out and now I stumble upon this audio interview from the Merv Griffin show which I watched as a kid growing up in the Philadelphia area. Can you say small world?, and I am now 61 years old.

How painful it must have been to discuss such private issues on tv with the source of your pain. And to hear a public profession of love you had longed for so long to hear in private, just the two of you, authentically.

Very frustrating that the interviewer kept interrupting! Very disrespectful to not let David gather his thoughts and answer the damn question. *Whoops!!*. Just realized the “interviewer” was Jack himself!!😊 I guess he STILL shouldn’t have interrupted David as much as he did… but I guess that was Jack.

Oooook! I don’t like Jack Cassidy asking his son about divorce affecting him

Dear Lord, I so hope his father meant his words. I'm kinda thinking ,up until his ( Jack) 2nd failed marriage, subsequent personal problems, and David's popularity, he always loved his son, quite possibly, didn't articulate the words. R.I.P.

David i is one of a kind you will never find anybody like david again so beautiful so sweet

Beautiful sweet heart david is everyday forever love the song beautiful david could sing anything everyday forever always beautiful angel love hearing david beautiful voice everyday forever always love miss David so very much everyday forever always wish david was still here everyday forever always david did a beautiful job

Must have been so hard for David. Not getting his father's approval. You are the best. Love allways. X X

Jack treated David so awful. He was also so jealous of his own Son. David handled the questions so honestly aednd well. Jack never ever hugged him at all. He hated how well David was getting on so well. Told him I love you but he had say it in front of an audience. But never hugged him at all. No wonder David felt so insecure. I don't like Jack at all and what he did to David. Love and miss you David . My first Crush my forever Crush. Xx❤️❤️❤️

Thank you SO much for posting this excerpt from Beggarsgame's video!!!!!! I so appreciate it! I'll listen to it over and over again. :)

Why can't anyone find this interview and post it? It would be wonderful to have more than the audio.

Beautiful but painful when you've heard the story about them. 💔

Voice like buttah.❤

Well that was heartbreaking. I truly hope David didn't have to agree to this uncomfortable interview just to have his father's brief attention or to hear him say "I love you".

En español porfavor

Missing him madly. 🥀 Thanks for posting 🙏💕

David Cassidy Aries♈ / Tiger 🐯, Jack Cassidy Piscean ♓ / Rabbit 🐰.

It's manipulative what Jack Cassidy does here. Beginning to end. Shame on him.

This is his father interviewing him folks

In alllll of his interviews, David was very very honest. Crushed it in his prime. Actually outsold the Beatles❣❣❣😇 RIP bro

When Jack told David that he loved him there was laughter . It wasn't funny. I would have liked to have seen the show. A comment like that wasn't usual for Jack cassidy.i can only imagine the level of blush on his son's face. Something he only dreamed of.

David Cassidy's voice sounds similiar to Tom Cruise's voice in this interview.

Beautiful song made for David Cassidy 💜😂❤️🤣😂😘😂😍🤩💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 and Jack Cassidy them make a good team when singing .l love this song.

Beautiful pictures of David and interview of this intelligent an articulate beauty, his voice is georgous a lovely ❤️acsent .I think David was in a hurry all the time he reached the top too soon ..l believe he should have carried on singing that is what he was born to do .💕💗💗💗💗💗💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

That was rather lovely.

Maybe this wasn’t the best demonstration of Jack’s singing ability but I think David’s voice far outshines Jack’s. Then again maybe it’s a matter of preference?

Wow, Jack Cassidy could really sing.

Lovely photos what a hunk.❣️💓🍎🍎💞🎸💗💗💕💕

💋

David's father was very cruel to him. My father was very cruel to me so I can understand.

Dave did good fathering on the othe suc

I pretty much tuned out his death and wouldn't let my mind think about his passing for any length of time nor would I search the details on social media, it's 2022 and I'm realizing what I've actually had done blocking out the reality of David Cassidy's death. There, I said it #wastedsomuchtime RIP David ❤️till we meet again xo

Wow, such a rare occasion, so interesting to listen to this! Thank you for uploading.

Facing Danny Boys so beautiful it's my favorite Danny Boy and thank you for posting

:16. Stone fox

The shit distant parents do to their kids. Jack coukd have been jealous. Cant imagine parental jealousy

Wow, this is great. I hadn't heard this interview before. David's rendition of Danny Boy is beautiful. David is remarkably honest in his answers to his father's questions.

Wow. That must of hit him in the gut. How sad that Jack Cassidy didn't sing with David more and had he lived longer, he could of sang with his other Sons. It's sad that David didn't do something like Lisa-Marie did. Get a pre recorded record / song that Jack sang and then added David's. Shirley stated that Jack had a great voice. And that infact Jack taught her somethings She could do with her voice. That is one thing about David, he always tried to be respectful. And he usually would tell the truth, as long as it didn't hurt anyone. He never said a bad thing about his Wives. And he still loved both his Parents, even though, he went to live with his Maternal Grandparents. While his Parents were out doing the Careers. He didn't even know his Parents were divorced for close to 4 years. Until one his friends told him. He had a lot of love and respect for his Grandparents too. He stated in several interviews that his Grandfather would do things with him. But it was difficult because of him being older. And his Grandparents were very faithful with going to Church every Sunday and to Bible Study every Wednesday. It's a shame the video isn't available.
