The Partridge Family - I'm On My Way Back Home

[@melissahowe9689]

Loved watching the show. Was in my early teens. I'll be 62 next month. Still like listening to this music. So Many memories

[@erinb58]

And I’m here in 2024 ( I’m 66) and reminiscing. I believe every young girl was “in love “ with him. Just sad he suffered so much but he’s free now

[@HopliteWarlord]

The producers of the Partidge Family struck gold when they cast David Cassidy by accident, they had no idea what a phenomenon they unleashed. They had now idea he could sing or play, they absolutely struck gold!!

[@cocoaorange1]

Too bad, his parents did not have his back, and demand he get a better contract, and honest financial people.

[@karendecter6867]

It is shocking how the corporates treated him as merchandise rather than a 20 year old human. And then they didn't even support his career after he made them so successful.

[@bridiesmith5110]

It is still happening today.

[@bridiesmith5110]

@@cocoaorange1 they did have his back. The merchandising was off the scale for the partridge family. Where he struck lucky was he signed his own contract. Had his parents signed it, there would have been no renegotiations.

[@RosePetal17]

Whether these songs are part of a TV show or not, they are brilliantly crafted Pop Songs....I am in awe of the songwriters!!

[@reginaldcraig8979]

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!!

[@HopliteWarlord]

Hundred Percent agree! Great songs!

[@cocoaorange1]

I was a kiddie then, but liked the reruns. I bet the now surviving, elderly songwriters never thought people would be enjoying them over 50 years later.

[@susanb2015]

Most of the songs were written by two gay men.

[@susanb2015]

That is why so many of the songs were about longing.

[@didiwongo]

What a totally unique voice David has. Never get tired of listening to him sing ....Rest in Peace dear David.

[@RosePetal17]

...and never get tired of looking at him either ;D

[@maureendeighan8883]

I played all my David Cassidy and Partridge Family records all through my dating from age 14 when u fell in love every week, I still play him and I'm 64 brings u back. ❤️

[@cindihawes6735]

Even at almost 63 years old I hear him, these songs and my mind is 12 again,, I feel my inner child dancing and singing and pretending I'm Laurie playing the piano ,,we had so much happiness back then but on Friday nights my world could fall apart around me,, as long as I was watching The Partridge family and David Cassidy I wouldn't have noticed,,❤

[@georgepatton6195]

I don't why I even start checking out Partridge Family songs, I grew up watching them when I was just a child. Something just clicked and I have been through the catalog of songs for the last hour. When I start listening to this song I recalled memories I haven't thought about in decades. I know living in this world for 57 years isn't really long but thinking about those memories seems like a thousand years ago.

[@passion4luci]

Even after all these years I still love this music it brings back so many great childhood memories! I grew up listening to The Partridge Family! David was an amazing artist and I miss him soo much!

[@basegalval]

I watched every Friday night and bought every album

[@jamescoleman4022]

Me, too.

[@odettewiddicombe6673]

He's flying up to heaven we all miss you so mush David

[@28daisies]

He took my breath away back then and looking at this 47 years later he can still take my breath away. Undoubtedly the most beautiful man ever. That voice, those eyes, that smile. Wow. He will leave a whole in this world that will never be filled again. Rest sweet man.

[@keithforsay4204]

Not Only Was David A Talented Musican/Singer He Had Great Comedic-Skills As This Episode H-E-L-L-L-L-P Proves. His Interaction With Danny And Rubuen Is Nothing Short Of Comedy Gold! RIP.

Tony Romeo wrote a lot of the songs.

[@dawnamorning7353]

The songs were written by Wes Farrel and Tony Romeo. They both were in the audience at David's 1991 appearances in NY and Chicago.

We're always back home when we reconnect with our unstoppable family band. Stay safe everyone!

[@djdon60]

Man-they did have some great songs! R.I.P., David Cassidy. Oh-and, one thing, more. I can remember lead-ins, to some faves. F'rinstance, in the garage, Danny tells Keith, "...and, besides, it was, all, Laurie's idea!" Keith yanks down the zipper, of the front of Danny's shirt, which times, perfectly, with the piano decrescendo that begins "Summer Days." Liked, also, "Point Me, In The Direction Of Albuquerque" & "It's One Of Those Nights(Yes, Love.)

[@haileyh500]

Cutest boy, ever and a very underrated singer. I think k David had a great voice.

[@jamesogrady6612]

Oh yeah so gorgeous, and some of the best memories ever.miss those days. They were great.

[@annamorrison6090]

I remember as a 6 year old looking at that supper club audience and thinking how grown-up that was and that I would look forward to going to one where an awesome band like The Partridge Family would play for me while I sipped cocktails :/

RIP David. This song always gets excellent response when I do Partridge Family acoustic sets. He was an amazing talent, will be incredibly missed.

[@WinslowLeach1974]

You bet....I am glad to say that the stuff goes over well, especially the Sound Magazine material....I will always say that that album is one of the greatest pop music albums ever made.

Yeah I really love this show back then- bubble gum sappy & so catchy tunes from it still get me singing em today- nostalgia cool

[@ilahildasissac1943]

I thought all the songs were bubble gum, u til I heard I Can FeelYour Heartbeat, on DVD. I was like whoa, they allowed an edgy song like that on PF. Although it would be considered fluff now. Then again, it might still raise eyebrows with it's innuendo.

[@ronniesapp4469]

David had Gods Talent . Nothing he couldn’t do. Every genre he had mega talent. Just couldn’t beat his demons. RIP my friend. See you again soon. We miss you ❤️❤️

One of my favorite songs. Great voice and talented man. Still bringing joy in a ugly world. RIP Dear David 💞💙

[@ilahildasissac1943]

Some songs were cheesy, some I really enjoyed. Grew up with the show in syndication, born in the late 60's.

[@catheriner1516]

His voice, his looks are so incredibly gorgeous. An angel.

[@karendecter6867]

I love the way he clearly pronounced all of the words when he sang. I have always thought he had a bit of a southern twang. I hope by the end of his life he recognized the priceless songbook he gave the world during TPF days. They were great songs, but his personal interpretation of them have given both he and them a permanent place in history. ❤❤❤

[@lindaboucher6047]

He was one of the best singers . Will always cherish my childhood memories of watching The Partridge Family on Friday 🌃 ghts

[@jinnybergan8978]

I have loved him for like 50 years. He was truly a great talent,loved by so many. But like so many young musicians early game can destroy you, alot of the reason he may have become an alcoholic,which led to altztimers, and ultimately his untimely death...rest in peace David, and thanks for the music.......

[@cocoaorange1]

Sadly, he never had Alzheimer's, he just drank himself to death.

For some reason this song was running through my head, so I am here! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

[@marlonhinton2371]

Love this song. I totally forgot all about it till I watched an old episode of The Partridge Family. My gosh I had such a crush on Shirley Jones. Forgot all about that too till I saw that beautiful face again. . I was just a kid but she melted my heart every week. I loved those innocent days. Thanks for the memories.

[@maryannemelenka9250]

Can’t say enough about backup singers. Good improv by the actors too. Public knew this was manufactured band, no different from a musical, with real voices of Shirley and David. Good music and writers. They probably never expected how popular it would be!

[@brightangel133]

The Wrecking Crew (who ostensibly sang the Danny, Laurie and Chris and Tracy parts) was very famous and sang with many very big and successful bands.

[@cocoaorange1]

It was only in recent times, I found out most of the cast were not singing. But the second Chris, Brian Foster did take drum lessons on the set.

Jefgg, little known fact: By the second season of the series, Bonaduce was already three inches taller than Cassidy and it was only camera tricks like the oversized bass (eight feet long!) and forced perspective (he's actually twenty feet behind Susan Dey at 1:47) that concealed the fact that Danny was virtually a titan. "...and That's Hollywood!"
