Mick Ronson played with a lot of major names, and influenced many others. This celebration of his life and work comes from those who knew him best.
The following is a very small section of this comprehensive article which mentions David Cassidy.
Looking back on his two RCA albums, Ronson felt that his management had tried to turn him into to a David Cassidy-type figure. Cassidy he was not, but he was happy to work with the pop idol, playing sparkling guitar on Cassidy’s hit single Gettin’ It In The Street.
David Cassidy: “Mick Ronson was a far greater musician and a far greater person than anyone was allowed to know. I loved him and admired his uniqueness, and was privileged to have worked with him.”
Based in Woodstock, Ronno formed The Mick Ronson Band and cut several tracks before live work interrupted mixing, and a possible album was shelved. The recordings eventually found commercial release in 1999: Just Like This contained some of Mick’s finest work, with heart-wrenching guitar on songs such as Crazy Love and I’d Give Anything To See You.
