  • its sad that you dont hear any of these somgs on the radio they really were very well written and no worst that the junk you hear nowadays.

  • @robertrobin10 I agree with you! It really is sad that you don't hear these songs on the radio anymore & very well written!! This song takes me back when I had a Schwinn Sting Ray!! Those were the days!

  • @robertrobin10 yep I had a sting ray too I wanted a lemon peeler but they were too expensive!!

  • My favorite song by the Partridge Family.

  • I LOVE the early 1970s and I'm in my early teen years. This show is my Favorite TV Show and David Cassidy is my teen idol.

  • SHIRLEY PARTRIDGE = MILF =P

  • I love this songs

  • i agree with all of you guys this video is my favorit they are awesome

  • One of the first rock 'n' roll albums I ever heard was Up To Date by The Partridge Family. 'You Are Always On My Mind' is (arguably) their greatest number. Susan Dey should go down in history as 'the prettiest rock star who never really wasn't'.

  • @jannyrcobs Up to Date was the first album I ever owned (in 1972!) This song and "I'm On My Way Back home" were my favorites - then and now. Also love "Bandala" from 1970

  • I used to listen to the 8 track with this song (Partridge Family - Up To Date) while sitting in the back of my dad's VW Bug! thanks for bringing back a fond memory!

  • Shirley Jones looks like she`s just plain enjoyin doing this song. She looks so dynamic in the shots of her singing. I simply love her.

  • I love this damn song sooooooooo much. one of my all time fav. partridge family songs

  • Shirley Jones, the consummate pro. She does a great job of selling these songs. The 3 younger kids, not so much.

  • I think I was about eleven years old when this aired in 1971. I had a big crush on Susan Dey. Now forty years later at age fifty ...I look Shirley Jones and say, what a beautiful woman! (Susan Dey looks like a little girl) Funny what age does to a person.

  • You Are Always On My Mind David :O)

  • I'm so glad that the Partridge Family is being shown on TV again. The songs are great. I even bought two of their albums: one 7" and one 12".

  • Question about this video: how were you able to get a full video clip? Most of the performances shown during each episode were edited down to a couple of minutes at best. This looks like a true concert performance. Amazing.

  • Anyone think SumerPis38 will post Cassidy's DUI video?

  • Oh the memories watching these videos. :) Brings me way back. 

  • The joy with which Shirley Jones performs this song brings me back fairly often. It's just so good to see talented people enjoy their craft like that. I share their joy.

  • @Tre404 I agree. The originality just can't be copied, which is why I really like most Partridge family songs!

  • 6 people go through this old life, day after day, thinking they're fine, with you there on their mind. ;-)

  • That's a great camera angle with Susan Dey in the foreground and David Cassidy/Shirley Jones in the background. Those are 3 really attractive people. Fine song as well.

  • Great audio quality, thanks for posting!

  • Donetyathink...music actually had...dare I say it...MEANING?!?!? OMG...people actually, like...LOVED EACH OTHER !! They actually knew who their baby's Dad was!! Hell..my parents never had to do a DNA !!! Love this old stuff!!

  • Shirley was good enough to impress Rogers and Hammerstein for Oklahoma.

  • She is still so lovely.

  • Great song!

  • i love song so so much i am 15 and i got the show on VHS when i was 6 or 7 and fell in love with then the music of my age is so stupid this is pure heven

  • @kittybug123 Good for you! It's music that actually just makes you feel good. It's melodic and emotional, and the lyrics are great. The songwriters were just very talented. You restore my faith in the coming generations that all is not lost. There are still those who are sharp and think for themselves and recognize something good, rather than only going with what is current. Thanks kittybug.

  • I had the biggest cruch on Shirley Jones. What a beautiful woman.

  • love them alll - You are always on my mind forever!!!!!!!!!!

  • I don't think they were the first .. what about THE MONKEYS? The Beatle's had one cartoon, but their voices which was a sit com/music. I'm sure there would be more if I thought about it. The Partridge Family were really good, though, I used to enjoy the show. And yes, I think Shirley Jones is beautiful too. She was a quite a few things when she was younger. Look for the musical CARESELL,, I'm not sure how to spell that.

  • Monkeys, Partridge family, DeFranco's, Osmonds all had QUALITY music on and off TV

  • David Cassidy was my first celebrity crush and "Up to Date" was my first real record album that wasn't Disney or Mother Goose.

    I even joined the fan club and had the Calendar poster on my wall.

  • First sitcom with good music? Try "The Monkees"

  • Got this song. I remember going up to Springfield Mo. when I was a kid and buying those 45's. Mostly @ The long gone KMART on West Sunshine near KY3 TV in 1970 and 1971 with my parents in our 67 Mercury Montclair

  • David Cassidy, One of the Greatest EVER! wow what a great Tune.

  • Side one of "Up to Date" is not only the best of all the Partridge Family Albums, but one of the greatest in pop music!

  • David was a way better singer than that other guy. I don't know why they didn't let him sing from the beginning.

  • Tony Romeo wrote some excellent songs, and theres even some songs on my records written by David, I Cherish them all.

  • Oh no no no! Did he get busted for drunk driving! And here I was thinking he was doing okay. It's ridiculous that I should care so much, but it really upsets me hearing of this. I've loved David Cassidy since I was 10 or eleven (I'm 49 now). I clearly remember the first picture I ever saw of him. I'm from Denmark where PF was never aired, so I saw it for the first time on DVD about a year ago. DC was really special and very talented.

  • Even has a kid I had the hots for the mom .lol Shirley Jones is so hot .

  • David Cassidy-if there was a picture dictionary beside the words "Teen Idol", David Cassidy's picture would be next to it. I hated it when he got busted for drunken driving in Florida recently.

  • Tony Romeo deserves more credit.A truly great pop songwriter.In some ways better than Sedaka!

  • @RobertJohnM I wore out the grooves on this song when I was 8. Much darker than Sedaka. Maybe his homosexuality fueled it. Even this song, which sounds chipper enough- seems to have a reference to threatening suicide. If anything else, it's a song about obsession- which isn't healthy.

  • OMG!  Love this man too!! He was on every wall of mine!! Get yourself together David!

  • OMG I loved this man so much back in the days. I wanted to marry him and I would count how many more years before I would be legal enough to marry him.

  • VERY much like "comfort food"!! Brings back a sweetness to my mind. Thanks for posting this!!

  • David was like the Jonas brothers at this time,,teen idol maximus

  • This was such a major part of my adolescence. A wonderful part. The music ...the show........and now all these years later still love it.....maybe more.

  • summerkis can kis my balls

  • Why did this show get cancelled? It was before MTV, before regularly aired videos, and before the internet as we know it. Today, GLEE is to us what The Partridge Family was to the early 1970s.

  • Regina you are always on my mind.

  • Thanks for posting this classic. Nothing like Partridge Family music before or since!

  • My mom was obsessed with David Cassidy and The Partridge Family! I used to play all of her records and this one was always my favorite! Love it!!!

  • Great song. Anyone know which episode this is? What season?

  • @55westend It's from the first season, episode 21 "A Partridge up a Pear Tree". The one where Annette O'Toole plays Keith's girlfriend. I love the song - and the episode.

  • @BRAISIMOR Cool! Thanks! :)

  • You don't have to be "old" to enjoy this, elainacamille! I'm 30 and I'm crazy about this music. This particular song is possibly my favorite Partridge song, but I love so many of them! David Cassidy was a truly talented singer.

  • Love this song! David was an awesome talent. Brings me back to my preteen days.

    I was such a big fan, never missed the show in the 1st few seasons.

  • Not sure about the background vocals... guess they are trying to sound like kids... but this is a great song. Maybe I'll grow out my hair like that, I hate getting haircuts!!

  • Damn......Im old

  • @elainacamille LOL!

  • Good Lord! Shirley's having an orgasm on a family TV show! LOL

  • @Drillin4Oil

    oh my God,  I have for years try to come up with an explanation whenever I saw this as to Shirley's behavior and THATS IT!! Climaxing on National TV!! I knew the music as good but HOLY CRAP!!! Then she walked off stage, lite a Camel and had a glass of zinfandel. ROFL

  • La mamá le pone un gran estilo. ¡Lástima que no cantaban en realidad!

  • @GardeacriticaA1

    Es mas que estilo. De veras ella esta cantando. (pardoname, no estoy cierto con las palabras!)

  • @drpreposterous1 No sabía eso. Gracias. Tu español se entiende.

  • I can remember watching re-runs of the Partridge Family. When I had volleyball games that were home games I would go home, b4 the game and watch the Partridge Family, I even done it b4 I left 2 go on road games. I'm 23 now and I still love the Partridge Family.

  • my fave Partridge Family song

  • this song reminds me of a girl i knew in school named Lisa because she looked Shirley, but as a young girl. i really liked her

  • Arguably the best Partridge family song of all time. Every romantic loss in my life conjures this song in my head since 1971

  • @mikeawesome44 I think it's tied with "I'll meet you half way", but that's just my opinion.

  • @GJNCA I'm always in favor of a major/minor workout with a middle eight! This song is easily the chipperest song in the obsession fueled/threatening suicide/love ya forever mode.

  • I don't care what anybody says, Shirley Jones, is, well.....was anyway....frigg'n BEAUTIFUL. She was hot in Elmer Gantry when she was even younger, but in the Partridge Family, she was just so classy looking & gorgeous. It also goes without saying that Susan Dey was a hotty. As a kid I had a major crush on them both! Along with oddly enough, Mrs Carol Brady, & of course, Princess Leia. Also Joey from Facts of Life, Malory of Family Ties & both sisters from Little house on the Prairie.

  • @gjc82071 - agreed until the Princess Leia part....

  • @gjc82071 I totally agree with you! I was 11 years old and I was in love with Shirley Jones! She was awesome. She was beautiful! I sure miss those days.

  • @alexdelrio45 Me too. I used to watch the Partridge Family every day after school on a UHF channel (if you know what that was) I miss/love the era from like 1976-7 to 1984-5. Because of that, I do almost everything I can to kinda live in/lose myself in that era. I watch a Magnavox 25in console T.V., use a rotary dial teleph☎ne, wear 70's style clothing etc, ☞JOKE☜. But I do keep it alive by watching/listening to ♪♫music♬ & movies of the era, & playing classic video games (Atari,C64, etc). ☺

  • @gjc82071 Don't foget Kristy McNichol!!!

  • @virnman Actually I did forget. Now that you mention it, I did have a childhood crush on her. Also, Linda Carter/Wonder Woman, & of course, Charlie's Angles (the original), Krissy & Janet from 3's company, Ginger & Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island.............man, I was 1 horny little kid! I seemed to show an interest in women & a particularly young age. :-)

  • @virnman She looked like a boy most of the time.I wonder what she looks like now?

  • @gjc82071

    They were all so beautiful. Even Danny Bonaducci was a cutie... grew up to be a mess then he cleaned up... YOU GO DANNY!

    I must say, Im a bit privy to the girl... loved her in LA LAW!

  • @gjc82071 ..... "Jo" from "Facts of Life." Not "Joey." "JOEY" was on "Gimme a Break," and was a lil white boy! hmmm, gjc....

  • @Tre404 I never mentioned Gimme a Break, but in any event, regardless of whether "Jo's" name was written in full, you obviously knew exactly who I meant.

  • Hey all Partridge Family Lovers...Hallmark channel has the show on now! Saturday & Sunday Mornings at 6-8 am! I'm lovin' it! You can Tivo it!

  • Shirley's really belting it out. I might be her groupie. ;)

  • beautiful song on the way back

  • I just have to say this one corny-ass thing: Seeing Shirley Jones' heartfelt, ebullient and joyful performance here really takes me back to when I was 3 years old, and my mother would play these records and sing along with them (and with me - I knew all the lyrics at that age!), with the same joy... brings a tear. In particular, I can recall her singing (to me) "I've Got Your Love All Over Me." Such a long time ago... haven't seen her in over 20 years, in fact. But that's the way it goes.

  • R.I.P., Tony Romeo....

  • this is my fave Partridge Family song. i use to love Shirley SO MUCH... i think i'll resume my crush on her, she's so hot

  • Wow,I loved David Cassidy while I was growing up!

    I do believe I single-handedly kept Tiger Beat in business buying all the mags with David on the cover lol. I never missed one of his shows and am so thankful to find him here on youtube for my viewing pleasure and also to introduce him to my 14 y.o. daughter.David's still looking good after all these years too and his music still rings true to every teen who had a crush on someone.

  • I never heard "I:m much better now" sound so sinister,

  • shirley jones was ultra delicious esp with that mod hairdo;)

  • This may very well be my favorite Partridge Family song, and I love so many of them. I grew up on the PF Gang, and this brings back such great memories. Beautiful pop / rock, and the harmonies, well, what can you say?

  • Just love all their songs, especially this one (and especially David!)

  • Shit this was my favorite song by them when I was a kid. What great memories playing with my GI Joes and this song jaming on my record player. love it to death.

  • i am only 15 years old and this music is amazing!! My dad got me into music of this generation and it is a shame to me that the music of my generation is so horrible.. his music is just amazing he starting a timeline of great music to follow. They r just one of those artists where every single song is amazing! Like REO Speedwagon's Hi Infidelity.

  • @adamjoey44 Wow, an REO Speedwagon reference...early MTV days. If you like this you should check out the Jackson Five Ultimate Collection.

  • ya just cant discount these guys

  • One of the greatest pop songs written. It has a light bouncy side and a dark deeper side.

  • I just remember when I was a little boy wishing that I looked like David. Well you know... all he girls just loved him. Man that was a long time ago. I'm 42 now. But I'll always owe it to David for such great memories.

  • Love this song, thanks for posting!

  • actually the monkees was one of the first to combine music and situation comedy...but I liked this one too :)

  • Like the song 5*

    Thanks for sharing

  • are all of their songs original? i never understood if they were....

  • There is at least one that David did solo xalled "Cherish." David was NOT the original of that, the band named "The Association" were the originals.

  • You...u are always on my mind . . how can I ever forget The Partridge Family. . especially David Cassidy. . . I live and breathe The Partridge Family during my teenage growing years...still do and I'm 51 !!

  • Don't make 'em like this anymore.

  • When I was much younger, Susan Dey was the hottie. Now that I'm older, Shirley Jones is equally hot.

  • how do u know?....lol

  • haha its this scene too lolol

  • i'm 20 grew up listening to the partridge family because of my mom and aunts. i love them=) currently watching the 1st season lol

    davids drop dead gorgeous. dayyum.

  • when I was growing up I thought Susan Dey was it ,,but now watching this I agree Shirley was one beautiful lady wow

  • I was 12 yrs old and IN LOVE With Shirley Partridge.

  • Shirley not only looks like she's having fun singing this, she looks like she's in love! Thanks for posting this - I love it! <3

  • Shirley Jones is even moe gorgeous than normal in this clip...there is just something about the way she performs in it..

  • Like the Monkees, the PF had the best studio musicians playing on their records.

    Tony Romeo, this song's writer, was hot at the time writing hits for the Cowsills, Lou Christie and others and of course he also wrote, "I think I Love You."

  • The Monkees played their own music, they just didnt write it

  • @arlo1967 no they didnt. i was just reading about the guitarist who played and made up the opening riff for last train to clarksville.. his name is louis shelton.

  • yes they did, they were a really band, and even had concerts

  • The Monkees wrote some of their own music. I think one whole album they released was mostly their work.

  • There's no doubt in my mind

  • heres the thing people...forget for a min that it is the partridge family....and just listen to the songs...it is pretty good music!!

  • Love the way the mum (is it Shirley Jones?) realy belts this one out. I'd say she was enjoying herself.

  • I also got this album when I was 10. I was really inspired to be a musician and performer from watching David Cassidy. I finally got this album on disc some years ago and still play in my car. Interesting that the studio players (especially Hal Blaine on drums) were players for the Carpenters. Karn did not play her own drum parts in the studio. Such honest, refreshing tunes with nice melodies.

  • I was ten and I got this album for Christmas (Up to Date). The album had all their birthdays on the cover . Those were the days

  • Shirly Jones is a rock goddss!

  • Groovy! I bought this record (Up To Date) in '72. One of my favorites.

  • For a corny show on Tv from my youth,,the Music that came from it is pretty damn good!!!! Cassidy had the talent for sure!!

  • What GREAT lyrics!

  • 1972 i was 9. I broke my leg and everyone was buying me gifts. So i asked my mom to buy me the Up to Date album. This was probably my first "rock" album. I liked this song best along with Ill meet you halfway.

  • Great song. David had a distinctive, and great voice. They used the very best studio musicians, and background singers in the business. Listen to each instrument, and harmony. Superb. Only Shirley's award winning voice was used besides David's.

  • @p38p40p51 No doubt the harmony was great. Those 4-5 part harmonies really stick out, & are really tight. Except for country music, sadly, you don't really really hear much vocal harmony in music anymore. Remember the vocal harmonies of bands like....Chicago, The Beatles, Foreigner, America, Boston, Asia, etc? Actually I find that more & more, "singers" are doing less "singing", & instead relying on pitch correction, & auto harmonization electronics/software. Instant talentless "vocalist".

  • @p38p40p51 don't forget the finest writers,"Tony Romeo" and a producer that made this a music hit reality " Wes Farrell".

  • these songs just reminds me of a time in my life when there were no worries...no issues...and hopes of a lifetime! BOY HOW THOSE CHANGED Still love the heck out of em...like comfort food...lol

  • @regwhiteboy100 Amen  & amen!!

  • LOL. She just really enjoyed working on the show..and it shows. :)

  • Agreed, Shirley reminds me of "Aunt Peg".

  • I had an * track of this song

  • great song

  • Comment removed

  • You all know that David never liked being a pop star. He was into Hendrix, Clapton, and so on. He went on to be the number one star for three straight years. From '71 to '74 he was bigger than anyone. And then along came Shaun.

  • And then along came Shaun. Slow walkin' Shaun, Slow talkin' Shaun. Along came came long legged lanky Shaun!

  • I remember being in the Partridge Family fan club when I was ten. Wow I loved this show and the music, and had all the albums.  Wish I still did, but mom sold them all at a garage sale..ratsssss

  • WoW! Thanks for this...

    In memory of my little furry friend Sprout!

    You are always on my mind...and the times I'd be holding you and swinging around to this song...love you forever pal.

  • Very groovy stuff!!

    I had this album (Up To Date - Bell records) when it was released in '72. Every song on it was great. I think you can still find it on CD.

  • I have this record as well,and I still love it.

  • Thanks so much for posting this stuff.. just awesome.

  • One of my all-time favorite Partridge Family tunes.

    David Cassidy was an amazing singer and the song writers like Romero certainly gave him great songs to show off his great voice with.

  • One of my favorites too... It took me until I was well into adulthood to realize what it was I liked so much about PF music - and that's it, it was MUSIC. You actually had to be able to carry a tune and negotiate key changes to sing along. I don't think it's a stretch for me to say that in some regards PF taught me to sing.

    Thanks for posting, and thanks to all the writers and of course, the artists, David (yeah, I had the crush going to) and Shirley for giving us such fun music! :)

  • I still have all mine, but now you can get them on CD and they are a much higher quality. I still live and breathe David Cassidy. And I'm a lesbian!!!

  • that's awesome ponfarr69 - i sure wish i had kept all my 45s and albums - i would have A LOT of them! i had a few 78s too.

    i miss those some of those things from back then, that's for sure.

  • Way cool seeing these songs being played again after all these years.......

    Susan Dey and Shirley Jones are so hot in that opening shot of this video..:)

  • I don't understand you at all, but I don't care.

  • I have "Up To Date" on vynal!  This is the best!

  • my brother can sing just like him

  • prove it!!!

  • if Ggiggles brother could sing like David,he would be very famous!I sure this is another example of a family member filling her bros head with false hope!!1lol

  • 3 days ago some faggot posted a retarded comment while sucking an old mans penis!

  • Peace and love

  • i love this song! where can i get it? :)

  • To get it on CD first you need to click on the button which pops up next to the Video that says "Download This Video" (If you have RealPlayer) then once you downloaded it go to RealPlayer and then go to Libriary and the song should be on there. Then right click on the song, copy it do Burn CD, then put a blank disc in and burn it. :)

  • It's on the Partridge Family "Up to Date" album now available on CD.

  • These Partridge Family videos are amazing. I'm going through all of them and sitting here feeling like a little kid again. :)

  • Danny is a sweetheart. :)

  • ponfarr69.... NO it's not a Monkees' song!

  • Comment removed

  • I see what your saying. He does sound a little like he is taking helium. But I don't know whose fault it is.

  • This guy's been going around making negative comments on anything that includes the Partridges. Pretty pathetic. Using the same line shows you are not too bright pal.

  • Comment removed

  • Susan Dey is HOT!!
