Description
Rock Me Baby is the second solo album release from David Cassidy. It was produced by Wes Farrell for Bell Records, and released in 1972. The album introduced some rock, soul and R&B flavors in a calculated move by Cassidy to expand beyond his teen idol image. AllMusic's Al Campbell wrote that the blue-eyed soul album was officially produced by Farrell, but the song selections and styles showed that Cassidy was also making decisions. Cassidy's cover of the Young Rascals song "How Can I Be Sure" was included in the album, having peaked at number 3 on the US Adult Contemporary chart in June 1972 and #25 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The album contains one song written by Cassidy called "Two Time Loser", and a song he co-wrote with Kim Carnes titled "Song for a Rainy Day". The song "Rock Me Baby" was recorded around the same time by UK group Brotherhood of Man, but they shelved their release when Cassidy had a hit with it
Dreams are Nuthin' More than Wishes was David Cassidy's third solo album release. It was released in 1973 and produced by Rick Jarrard on Bell Records. It contains some cover versions, including John Sebastian's "Daydream", Peggy Lee's "Fever" and Nilsson's "Puppy Song"—whose lyrics make up the album title. David Cassidy also did his version of the Partridge Family song, "Summer Days". Unique to this album is the fold out cover and the hand-written cover notes by Cassidy commenting on why he chose each song. The album made #1 on the UK album charts in 1973 and the top 20 in Australia in 1974 during Cassidy's hectic concert tour of the continent.
Romance is David Cassidy's seventh studio album as a solo artist and his first released by Arista Records. Released in 1985, Romance was the only studio album Cassidy released during the 1980s. Since growing out of his teen idol fame from The Partridge Family, Cassidy continued to try to re-invent his music career; however, in the United States, his latter albums from the 1970s did not chart. Therefore, for the album Romance, Arista excluded a U.S. release and released the album only in Europe, Israel, Japan, South Africa and Australia. Romance peaked at no. 20 on the UK Albums Chart in June 1985. George Michael sang on the song, "The Last Kiss" (originally recorded with different lyrics by Cliff Richard in 1981 as "Young Love"). It peaked at no. 6 in the UK Singles Chart, and charted all over Europe and in Australia. Subsequent singles from the album - "Romance (Let Your Heart Go)", "Someone" and "She Knows All About Boys" - were minor hits in comparison. The album written prior to, and after the marriage of Cassidy to Meryl Tanz, was written about their marriage and Cassidy gave both Meryl and her daughter Caroline thanks for the two years it took to bring it to fruition.
