I feel he never truly believed people loved him for who he actually was, but rather a charicature created by 'Keith Partridge' that he could never shake off. Some of the memories are incredibly moving, all are touching - I find myself smiling a lot when reading some tributes, but underneath the joy of being able to share in such glorious memories, I feel a great sadness, for David, that despite the abundance of love out there for him, he always seemed to be searching for acceptance and love. The book itself is a large hardback, attractively cloth bound with a pink ribbon bookmark, and the pages are printed on high quality paper - it is a stunning book for anyone to own, fan or otherwise.

and then, along came Louise Poynton! Being a lifelong fan of David Cassidy, Louise understands entirely what every fan desires, and as a result has collated a stunning, colourful, collection of memories, tributes and photos (many never seen before). There was talk of the famous photographer Henry Diltz putting one together but it never came to anything.

In the last ten years or so of David's life, I (and many fans) were hankering for a 'coffee table style' book crammed full of pictures of David. Profound, poignant, and deeply moving, Cherish is a celebration of the life of David Cassidy and the legacy of love he left behind. This stimulating and evocative keepsake volume also features 250 color and black-and-white images, including many previously unseen photographs. Spanning his early career as a TV star on The Partridge Family to his legacy as a pop icon, friends write with love and respect about his immense talent and share examples of his unfailing generosity and unexpected acts of kindness. Fans recall concert experiences, recount chance meetings, and reflect on the ways in which Cassidy made the world a brighter place. Contributors-including Neil Sedaka, Richie Furay, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, Alan Merrill, David Hamilton, Bruce Kimmel, Mat Gurman, and more-explain in their own words the deep impact he had on their lives. This book is a collection of heartfelt stories from Cassidy’s colleagues, friends, and fans from around the world. Though he passed away in 2017, his fans’ loyalty and devotion to him live on.

Selling millions of records and playing to sold-out crowds, he was more than just a teen idol-for many fans, he was a savior. In the 1970s, David Cassidy was one of the biggest superstars in the world. Cherish is an award-winning finalist in the American Book Fest Best Book Awards 2020.
