Let's Talk Music.....David Cassidy "The Higher They Climb, The Harder They Fall"

     Welcome, welcome everyone to another addition to the blog page.  I will be doing a series on David Cassidy's solo albums, today we start off with "The Higher They Climb, The Harder They Fall.  This album first charted in 1975, spending 5 weeks on the charts.  Higher was #4 on the Top 40 chart, #5 on the top 75 chart and #5 on the top 100 chart.  RCA-Victor was the record label and was produced by David Cassidy and Bruce Johnston. Higher also had a Japanese release in December 2003.  David had many albums...mostly under the Bell umbrella which was when he was doing The Partridge Family Series.  David did several years of touring and continued to work on the show as well.  The Partridge Family Albums are great works but they were never what David wanted to do for himself as a musician.  1974 was the end of the Partridge Family series and David was finishing up his touring, he was ready for a much needed break.  David wanted to be accepted by his fellow musicians, but he just never quite seemed to get the adoration he so much deserved and craved. The media that was out at the time of Davids fame was the Teen Magazines and they did not really give an accurate picture of him.  David always said he did not want to be remembered as a teen Idol but it is hard not thinking of him as one, he was amazing and he brought the world a new light.  David took some time off after finishing up his tours, but not for very long 1975 would be the start of Davids solo career.  One album in 1975 and two in 1976, Higher They Climb, The Harder They Fall would be the first in The RCA series, Home is Where the Heart is, and Gettin' it in the Street would be the last one on the RCA label.  Check out Davids albums on streaming apps....Spotify, Youtube...etc. I have Davids albums playable on my Youtube Channel also.....
