The David Cassidy Connections
The David Cassidy Connections offers a mix of interviews with fans, friends and colleagues as they reflect on his music and how he influenced their own career path.
Journalist Louise Poynton has been a fan since 1971 and her book Cherish David Cassidy A Legacy of Love is an award-winning finalist in the American Book Fest Best Book awards.
Louise, who for more than 20 years was a Sports Editor on regional newspapers in the UK, invited fans to share their memories of falling in love with him; they explain in raw honesty why he has been so important in their lives.
The podcast, launched in August 2020, takes listeners on a colourful and emotional journey.
Cherish is a project she started working on a couple of years before David died. She was overwhelmed with heartfelt stories from around the world, which not only celebrate his life but paint a picture of the personal journey fans have been through.
Now in a celebration of his life, fans, friends and his peers including Neil Sedaka, explain in their own words how David impacted on them, his influence and friendship; the lasting legacy of love and music he left behind.
These memories, which echo across time, have been written by his fans in their own words, and now they talk in this series about him. Cherish also includes a collection of beautiful poems composed over the past 50 years, many previously unpublished stunning images from professional photographers and portraits drawn by fans.
Every story in Cherish is a singular experience, a thematic journey but when brought together they provide stops on the adventure with David at the heart of everything his fans have ever done.
