Wow, he really had a lot of foresight for a young man. Today's teenyboppers are nothing compared to David Cassidy. Really just a cool and very good-looking man.

[@annsosa6433]

He was Always so Nice & Polite to Everyone!!! That’s a very special quality in a person Especially a Famous Person!!! ❤️

[@Prtyh]

He was so sweet to these girls.

[@Dwightinho56]

He had a realistic outlook on life for being 23. Best thing is he actually always lived by it.

[@tameramares5785]

Some of the luckiest 4 young women ever. It was so sweet of him to do that ..😊❤😊

[@flashcraft]

A great guy. Not at all like some of the stuck up wannabes today. A real gentleman. Cool flashback, thanks.

David Cassidy seems like such a nice guy.

[@carmeng.s.3739]

And he probably was. David looks alike a boy I fell for when I was young. RIP DAVID. You'll never be forgotten.

[@airviper3457]

The pace this man kept was insane! I never realized how much he gave to his fans then. I sincerely wish him well now.

[@spratscat]

Airviper 34 100% agreement. ✅

[@spratscat]

Airviper 34 He really gave his fans a lot, abd5he never complained about it, up until the day he died. I believe he loved his fans, yet at the same time, he felt overwhelmed in the sense that he wasn't able to escape from the typecast he found hinself in.

This is fantastic.. iv got so many of hes interviews hes so humble xx

Difficult to acknowledge that he's gone now. But safely in the loving arms of his parents.

[@blackmore4]

Um... aside from the supernatural problems with that, his relationship with his father wasn't too good.

[@1972Cathy]

Always enjoy this clip. Look at 3:19, such young love in this girls face. The girl in the yellow saying she would get all news clothes if she were to meet David is just how were felt. David might take notice of us. I still remember the pink shorts with butterflies I wore to see him in 71'. I took weeks to decide what I would wear in 71' when he came to Tampa. I do enjoy 3:33 showing David's typical left leg over the right, arm embracing his slim sexy body. That's David Cassidy.

[@KILKennyLaDa9898-js2nr]

Yes, you could tell she was away with the fairies! They must have been having heart palpitations....unable to take it all in. Imagine looking back on yourself from FIFTY years ago!

[@leavingitblank9363]

OMG best celebrity prank ever!! That was perfect! Little Tina (yellow dress) is adorable. Really, she's so practical about it all.

[@theotherme4120]

that girl with the bobby pin is adorable. she is like a charles dickens character

[@deborabump1618]

wow. to be one of those girls....someone needs to hunt them down and interview them about this....what a LOVELY MEMORY!!

[@TweetyL44]

I feel sad that he was such a lonely man. In this interview, he said" I won't be 22 years old for the rest of my life, and if his fans go one way an he goes another that's okay". I guess it wasn't okay, because that's what failed him. We grew up, and he didn't have the same fan base to support his career.

[@LuvTadnDixie]

Yes, and he continued singing the Partridge Family songs too. His frustration was . . . okay, I did the Partridge Family, but I can do other things. But even with that frustration, he chose to be positive, and there was a lot to be positive about. People were constantly coming up to him saying how much they loved him and what a huge impact he had on their lives. He touched a lot of young people that grew up in the 70s, and he knew it and it made him feel really good. He's a 70s icon and that's not such a bad thing to be, is it? I think he later realized, if I can't beat em, join em . . . and he embraced it and he felt very blessed because people still loved him because of that show. And he was able to do a lot of things behind the scenes, like producing and writing for other artists, so he did okay for himself for the most part. And of course, he still loved to play music and he has often said, "he never felt like he had a job because he loved what he did for a living." It's just a shame that the booze hurt him so badly. That's what ruined him.

[@flufwix]

6 concerts in 48 hours! No wonder he became burnt out. Always a lovely man and fabulous performer ❤

[@pleiadian13]

David Cassidy was the best IMO right until the last interview. Even in his debilitation he was giving all he had. Money meant nothing to him, being manipulated was unbearable however. You can see he was shy and very loving to these starry eyed youngsters. I couldn’t be more proud of my childhood fave. I got to see him perform when I was 11. Full of verve and enthusiasm but quite taken aback by all the over the top reactions. Proud, humble, strong, vulnerable. The real deal in a compact power package. I absolutely adored his voice, his emotional and spirited energies. Plus there were those sparkly eyes and his one of a kind smile. He’s proven his talent snd genius over and over again, throughout his too short and troubled life. Alcohol addiction destroyed his confidence and his looks. But we know now it was not a flaw but science has proven alcohol addiction is a digestive dysfunction, that creates a toxin which is sent to the brain. The byproduct of this process is a near identical substance to heroin, made in the brain. It’s called THIQ or Tetrahydroisoquinoline. It’s twice as addictive as morphine. Over time it builds up in the brain and no one yet know when or why it flips a switch and a normal drinker becomes addicted. THIQ never goes away either. One drink and it returns with a vengeance. Without familial support and medical treatment most likely outcome is passing away from the disease. David Cassidy was not his disease. He was NOT Keith Partridge. He was a gifted musician and actor. So good an actor in fact even he got confused about is identity. I feel for those closest to him who could nit help him and had to turn away. It’s be unbearably painful to go through things with him when he was unwell. Knowing what I know now about alcohol addiction Maybe something more could have been done. If he were mine, I’d hold his hand and be there by his side no matter what. He DID NOT deserve this terrible affliction that ruined his life. REST IN PEACE BROTHER.

[@judydenver5362]

how awful, also, that alcohol also destroyed his precious beautiful voice. It destroys the vocal chords of anyone. There is alot of research on singers, out there, in particular. I NEVER would have left him, like SS did! For better or worse. He was abandoned at the worst time. Hurts my heart....I will always love you, dear David...

[@michellewhittaker2135]

I could cry wish I could have helped but having lost a husband and tried everything It took me years to recover mentally I hate alcohol it's distroyimg my parents now I could screem, rip David Cassidy your truly missed and God bless all others suffering from this desease and their families

That was amazing, haha, wow! I honestly thought David Cassidy was a teen himself whenever I've seen him in old magazine articles or covers. He was in his early 20s?!?

[@danf4447]

he seems like a kind and gentle guy who got a raw deal

[@bluewave7120]

Best shocker of an interview ever!

[@dianeleone1634]

Odd, we paid $4.50 at the most in 1972 for David Cassidy concert. Of course our hourly wage was $1.95. Ahhhh those were the days💙

[@sebastian0107]

That explains why he never got rich!

[@RosePetal17]

Old at 23 years??!! Yet, when David walked in, his fans were in awe of him! It is so strange to listen to him here. He was so mature, and had such. insight. It is when he became older, somehow seemed more insecure. I think, after his crazy fame faded, he didn't know who he was anymore. He could have done so much more with his talent, but he seemed to focus so much on regret. :(

[@laetitialogan2131]

Old at 23...lol

[@sarahsallet6725]

Laetitia Logan I know 😂 That was so weird to me 😂

[@xreddragonx]

It's definitely not uncommon for 'teen' idols to be in their 20s. And he even looked younger, frankly.

When 22, going on 23, is “old”. Kill me.......kill me now 😀😀😀

[@zzz11666]

He ruined his looks with his drinking. He would have been a gorgeous older man. Too thin when he was young though.

[@LuvTadnDixie]

I loved his lean body. I loved everything about him. But he did age very fast in the last years of his life. He's somebody I could never picture as an old man, and then I saw him on Dr. Phil and he looked so old and so sick. May he rest in peace.

[@sarahalvarezinspirationalc1130]

You're so right. He was still good looking when he was older it's just the drinking that made him look bad. He still looked good even if he was drinking but can you imagine how he would have looked if he wasn't.

[@lalomontoyajr.9282]

Almost 23 years-old, and that's "getting on", too old? Yeesh! Anyway, so cool what he did here. Those girls had a memory to last their whole lives!

[@franklinhernandez683]

I grew up kind like David was it was maybe a little bit older than me but I lived here in his music to those years by the girls in my class the difference is people became worse technology increase since that time people have become worse did not connect it really no more and he expected probably that's there'll be something nicer in life when he passed away he realized that that's what he said he said it was all for nothing and that's a fact for many people human beings of the and people around you they will disappoint the hell out of you they'll make you and your life it almost did mine until I learned from another human being will take time to actually tell you who he is but you learn from people who really care that you see

[@spottss]

He should’ve given each one a t shirt and lunch box as a parting Gift

[@js-nr4wc]

Not at all arrogant he seems a really nice guy but unfortunatley fame ruined a lot of his life ,,and what he got was loneliness ,unhappiness and withdrawal from people...wish he could have found all he wanted ..hope he has found peace ,love n happiness now xo aee ya in next life

[@dominewimbury2039]

This is funny

[@franklinhernandez683]

He was 100% right do you know when he passed away his last words they said was it was all for nothing you see that's why he was such a good person many times because he realized something good has to come out personal life how old was disappointed by the people around him from the publicity people to his lawyers no one really gave a damn day they took him for a ride and his wife took him for half of the ride he was heartbroken when he passed away but he did love his mom

[@rockbay79]

As a guy, I'm old enough to remember David Cassidy at the peak of his fame, such as this documantary. However, today looking back, I sort of feel bad for David. Later in life, David like so many others in the entertainment business became a victim to drugs and alcohol. He died a broken, angry alcoholic. Like Elvis, MJ, Prince and many others, they all died way too soon. I assume the life on the road and in bright lights is not all it's cracked up to be.
