Partridge Family mini concert 2 enjoy!

[MikeStivic]

Funny how in the show, the PF always played in small clubs to only a few but at the same time in real life David played to huge crowds of screaming teenage girls.

[kenetaylor59]

Shirley Jones... yum. I think I was the only 12 year old who was fantasizing about her rather than Susan Dey. Dear Lord, she was so gorgeous....

[1010CS]

David Cassidy is HOT! He is my idea of gorgeous! Love the long hair, too!

[haileyh500]

David Cassidy was so cute.

[nancymcelvoy]

will always feel like im back in the 70s great job with the songs

[Dolphindream15]

[maryluzduran]

Gracias por compartirnos este precioso video y recordar momentos inolvidables. Era mi serie preferida en aquellos años, donde la unión familiar reinaba, los valores familiares eran la base de la sociedad, situación que actualmente se está perdiendo.

Una vez más gracias por recordármelos.

[catwymnn]

You notice now how there were always girlies screaming after Keith, but in the audience it was always the night club crowd? LOL....

[rebeccarosie1]

Agree wholeheartedly...star618 please give us some more mini concerts. These are awesome! DC and that feathered hair...be still me heart!! :)

[Scott6263]

One of the best shows ever! I have loved this show since it first aired back in 1970. I have all of the CD's, all 4 seasons on DVD and sing "I Think I Love You" with in my band. Just for the record: Both David AND Shirley sang the vocals with the studio musicians. They were the only 2 actors on the show that actually sang the songs. The albums contained the songs featured in actual episodes of the show; therefore, Shirley sang on the albums as well.

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

@Scott6263 I knew that David sang, and I know that Shirley sings (ie. "Oklahoma" and "The Music Man" just to name a couple of movies of hers), but I didn't think she sang with the Partridge Family only because I thought that another group was actually singing (ie. The Cowsills). I was just wondering. Thanks

[Scott6263]

@Beautifulmusiclistnr Hi there! Shirley did sing on the show. She sang background vocals with studio musicians. Once in a while, she was given a solo song or part of a song to sing alone. However, the majority of music was sung by David as lead with Shirley and studio musicians providing backup. Also, The Cowsills were a real-life performing family who had a number of hit songs in the 1960's. "The Partridge Family" is loosely based on them. Hope this helps!

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

@Scott6263 Thanks for the info. I remember seeing Shirley sing a solo, but I always thought that she did the "Milli-Vanilli" lip-sync routine when it came to the group singing! lol I guess I'm in error on that. Yes, I'm familiar with The Cowsills.  They have quite a few videos on YT, and my favorite song of theirs is, of course, "Love American Style" The show gave David (son of Jack Cassidy), and his then step-mother, Shirley, a chance to get to know each other and get close.

[Scott6263]

@Beautifulmusiclistnr LOL! She really did sing on the songs. No "Milli-Vanilli" for her (just the kids except David). I love The Cowsills. They recorded "LAS" and their version was to be used on the actual show. It was....for the first season. From the second season on, their version was replaced by another groups' - The Charles Fox Singers. Yes, Shirley and David got extremely close during "TPF". Their relationship had been somewhat strained and this show helped alot.

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

@Scott6263 It's funny, but when we watched this as kids, we thought these people had all this musical talent, and David and Shirley did, but the others didn't. It looked so natural watching Laurie play the keyboard. lol One time, David saw Danny pick up an electric guitar, and David got Very upset. He said something like "You don't strum an electric guitar. You pluck it"! LOL Danny, not being the musician that David was didn't know. It's such a great show. I wish they had more shows like this!

[Scott6263]

@Beautifulmusiclistnr I couldn't agree more. I knew about that David/Danny story. Very funny! It's a wonderful show. It also makes me nostalgic for a simpler, sweeter time in life. Today, it's all about technology and being the quickest and not stopping to smell the roses. No sense of innocence anymore. What a shame.

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

@Scott6263 I agree Friend. The time has gone so fast. Technology has its place, and it's good, but we don't have time to smell the roses, and we no longer have a sense of innocence like you said. We have to settle for reality TV instead of quality TV shows. I miss simple days. What happened to the days when there were only 3 networks and everything on there was great? It saddens me at times, and I long for that simpler less complicated life. I know I miss the absence of my youth.

[Scott6263]

@Beautifulmusiclistnr Beautifully said! And right on the mark! 

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

@Scott6263 Thanks buddy.  I appreciate it! Regards!

[Scott6263]

@Beautifulmusiclistnr Anytime, my friend!  :-)

[gertie1999]

@Beautifulmusiclistnr I'm with you! I'm in my early teen years and I LOVE early 1970s pop culture. I wish that I grew up in the 1960s and 1970s. Other then todays Technoology I hate everything moderen.

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

@gertie1999 Well, I wish you would have grown up to the kind of AMAZING music that I heard growing up. You'd have been beside yourself with just fantastic music! Take a look at my channel, and you'll hear a lot of older songs. There's stuff from The Partridge Family to Doris Day to Steve Lawrence and his wife, the incomparable Eydie Gorme, to The Carpenters. If you get a chance, listen to a song called "Jean" by an artist called "Oliver". Check out anything by a group called The Sandpipers!

[SpazzyLazzy]

WOW- this really makes me feel good. I remember sending fan mail to Shirley Partridge in 71' I was sooooo in love with her, even more han than Laurie. And I COULDNT BELIEVE SHE WAS WRITING BACK TO ME!!!! It turned out to be my older sister intercepting my mail, and spraying the response letters with her Sweet Honesty perfume from AVON which my mom used to sell. I was SO STUPID. now I see the reason, other than the great POP MUSIC that we loved, was that I REALLY HAD A MAD SEX CRUSH ON KEITH.

[jdmans]

Susan Dey forever

[anakina1]

I am an avid rock and roller, but I have to admit again, David has an awesome voice.

[roguehawkfan]

Shirley Jones was a trained singer..Idiots

[Karenfan09]

I didn't realize that David Cassidy and Karen Carpenter were about the same age....Both singers made beautiful music in the 70's.

[Scott6263]

@Karenfan09 I loved Karen's voice, too. Purely angelic!

[555846]

70s happy days so many good times if onyly we could live them again, wayne in sheffield ,fantastic show

[regal64]

I was watching an interview with David Cassidy filmed in 1977 and he stated Shirley Jones did not sing on the albums - she was just credited on the albums and was paid for that. ;-)

[mriguy35]

@regal64

She did sing background but was mixed so far in the background that it was impossible to really hear her voice.

[luvsthickwhitechicks]

@mriguy35 Actually, the backing vocals were performed by LA session vocalists Jackie Ward, Ron Hicklin, and the Bahler Brothers (Tom and John). Shorty Rogers and Sally Stevens also sang on the sessions for the pilot episode, but the music producer, Wes Farrell decided on Ward, Hicklin, and the Bahlers for the subsequent recordings for the TV series.

[luvsthickwhitechicks]

Yes, David Cassidy handled lead vocals. --I know you were all waiting to pounce -- LOL

[gabbydeb]

Shirley and David both sang on these shows.

[CadillacL]

except the first episode.

[redlabs]

great song.

[xanadu500]

As far as I know David was the only one who sang. Background vocals and music was by studiomusicians and David himself.

[cassidy322]

seem to be a variance of opinions if Shirley Jones actually sang.

She had a great operetta voice so seems a waste if she did not

[cassidy322]

Good selection................surpr­ised nobody has caught on and covered them.............maybe a new Partridge Family 2009?????

Mind you...........niceness...gentl­eness...setimental lyrics....and romantic songs are out of vogue......kids just seem to like all the trashy tack thats around nowadays.....sad.

[iHeartRobbieDJ]

They did something like that on Vh1 I think. But nothing really happened with the people who won O_O

[XMLarry]

David did his own vocals through most of the show's run. Everythng else was a backup band.

[Treaty4]

Kensho3, I love the Partridge Family, but your comment was funny. Thanks for the laugh.

[sobuliak]

love the non exsitent horn section and the awful fake bass playing by Danny.Susan dey was a hottie i remember having the hots for her-like everyone else

[LittleDragon2000]

I loved Laurie Partridge -- Now I love Shirley, too!

[robertfd34]

my god does this take me back, but darn now i feel so old, lol , good vid thanks

[andyandymax]

How can the audience just sit there, immobile?

[MB412]

Dont you love these great lip sync shows?

[bluu999]

Excieting. David Cassidy always steals the show.

[LittleDragon2000]

David doesn't steal the show -- it was given to him

The whole show was a vehicle for David

[soundzok]

The nostalgia needle had gone into the red! Thank you so much :)

[kensho3]

Lets go a little larger on David's collar. Not quite large enough.

[traceyd7]

Gotta love the 70's for collar action....

[mikeawesome44]

Thank you!! 4 great songs, particularly 24 Hours A Day which brings back childhood in the Seventies and the pain of lost love. Music that will last FOREVER:)

[diamondgirl102359]

i wish i could look in david cassidy's eyes and feel his lips and see his smile! he's so dreamy!

[trawkin]

Outstanding! I really enjoyed this! I hope they release the other two seasons on DVD very soon!
