David Cassidy will always be a part of my youth. My sister loved him more than any other pop star of the time. I personally loved their clean pop music. The band, The Partridge Family was based on the real life band The Cowsills.
Here is my favorite Partridge Family song and my favorite Cowsills song. Rest in peace David. I will remember you the way you were in this video and dream back to when I was just a kid.
