Cherish

David Cassidy was one of the biggest superstars in the 1970s. Selling millions of records and playing to record sell-out crowds around the world, he was more than just an idol for teenagers; he was for many their saviour. The first star to be mass-merchandised, he became a magnificent obsession in the 1970s for millions whose loyalty and devotion to him remains to this day. He represents a time in their lives when he and his music made them completely happy: this offers them the chance to say: “Thank you David for the memories”. This book presents a collection of heartfelt stories contributed by his colleagues, friends and fans in a deeply moving and inspiring compilation of memories.

They share examples of his unfailing generosity, unexpected acts of kindness and how he made them feel important. Friends write with love and respect about David’s immense talent as a musician and actor and why he is considered one of the greatest singers of all time.
