David Cassidy returned to series television in 2009
for a season of “Ruby & the Rockits” (ABC Family),
in which brother Patrick co-stars along with Alexa
Vega (“Spy
Kids”). “This was the first time that all three of my
brothers and I ever worked together. It has been
our dream and desire to do this for many years and it couldn’t
have been more fun,” said
David. “I wouldn’t trade that experience for the world.” It
was almost four decades ago that David rose to
stardom in another family show, “The Partridge Family,” and
became the biggest TV and performing phenomenon in history.
From
television to recording and record-breaking concert
tours, from Broadway and London’s
West End to Las Vegas production shows, David Cassidy
has made his mark and been lauded with nominations
and awards in each arena. David has certainly proven
that it is talent, creativity and tenacity that
keep people coming to shows, turning on the television,
and buying his recordings.
Hailing from a family of actors, mother Evelyn Ward and father Jack Cassidy, his fate as a performer was essentially seeded at a young age.
It was by coincidence that he wound up starring with stepmother Shirley Jones in “The Partridge Family.” When ABC cast DAVID CASSIDY
as its juvenile star in what became an astonishingly successful series, one of the most spectacular careers in the entertainment industry was
launched. Before the end of 1970, the year that “The Partridge Family” premiered, David had the #1 selling single of the year and record of the year,
and garnered multiple Grammy nominations and won a Golden Apple Award. Over the next five years, membership in his official fan club exceeded that of
Elvis Presley and the Beatles.
