David Cassidy is probably best known for his role as Shirley Jones's oldest son, Keith Partridge, in the highly popular tv series The Partridge Family (1970 to 1974).
To date, his records have sold over 35 million copies worldwide and have been recognized with eighteen gold and platinum recordings including four consecutive multi-platinum LP's.
He earned an Emmy nomination as Best Dramatic Actor for the telefilm "A Chance to Live," the highest rated "Police Story" in its seven year history.
Broadway opened a whole new world for him. He starred in the original production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" to rave reviews and successful box office response. On London's prestigious West End, he starred in "Time" with Sir Laurence Olivier, and in 1994 he once again broke box office records in the stunning production of "Blood Brothers," which sold out throughout the United States and Canada.
He and his wife, songwriter Sue Shifrin-Cassidy, were instrumental in the 1994 Rebuild LA campaign, composing the effort's anthem, "Stand and Be Proud." Their song "Message to the World" was donated to help the children in Kosovo, and led to Sue's formation of KidsCharities.org, in which David played a very active role.
After thirty-five years of making hit records, television shows, Broadway musicals, performing in and producing sold-out Las Vegas extravaganza productions, and breaking box office records around the world, David Cassidy has re-recorded some of his most recognizable and popular songs with dance remixes by Craig J (Madonna, Cher, Kelly Clarkson). David Cassidy Part II: The Remix is part of 180 Music's Spotlight Features Series to be distributed exclusively in all Target stores throughout America and at www.target.com.
David's new autobiography, "Could It Be Forever" is now on sale in the USA and the UK, and will be released in Australia and New Zealand on May 1st.
