David Cassidy - I Write The Songs

The Patridge Family frontman performs what became Manilow's biggest hit while wearing a Travolta style Saturday Night Fever suit. Terrible Joe Cocker-esque dance moves to boot.

I like Manilow a lot but whatever anyone says Cassidy...and sorry ....he was far better looking.... did release this first and I think it is the better version...........albeit it is not associated with him as much.....it should be. (This is off Top Of the Pops)
Love Manilows 'The one that got away' ...and 'Mandy' etc etc

David was the first to record the song written by The Beach Boys Bruce Johnson in 1975, this was followed in the same year by Captain and Tennille and then Barry Manilow. I still love David's version the best.

I am Dutch, so my English is not so well. This video is my favoriet... I am fan from you sinds I was 13 years old, 37 jrs ago. Untill now I watch every song on youtube daily, specially the old ones. Your warm voice, awesome looks and sexy performance I haven't seen since 1973 by someone else. You're still the best, most sexy singer and great performer of all time!!!
