ChrisHOST
Now, of course, he was a teen idol, and like a lot of teen idols in the '70s, they made a lot of their bones doing cover songs.
ChrisHOST
David Cassidy did that, Leif Garrett did that, Donny Osmond did that.
ChrisHOST
Well, Shaun Cassidy had a couple of them, like The Lovin' Spoonful's Do You Believe in Magic? Two of them that made this chart, a number three hit that we already heard, that's Rock and Roll, originally recorded by Raspberries' Eric Carmen.
ChrisHOST
That was song number 1591.
Shannon GillGUEST
Opposite ends of the spectrum, I think.
Shannon GillGUEST
So the first two US pop stars to play at the MCG were David Cassidy and then Linda Ronstadt, but the first absolute mega star was Madonna.
Shannon GillGUEST
It was in 1993.
Shannon GillGUEST
It was Madonna's first ever performance tour at, in Australia.
Lisa KudrowGUEST
Well, I don't think I was one of the most popular.
Lisa KudrowGUEST

David SpadeHOST
Yeah.
Lisa KudrowGUEST
"You're ones invited." And the moms would come.
Lisa KudrowGUEST
Oh.
Dana CarveyHOST
And it came on once a year, and she commandeered the television.

Lisa KudrowGUEST
Uh, [laughs]
David HamiltonGUEST
I mean, uh, Roger Moore, uh, who was James Bond, of course, uh, he was one of the first guests on my Radio 1 show.
David HamiltonGUEST
And, um, you know, we would have David Cassidy.
David HamiltonGUEST
I compered his tour, his UK tour.
David HamiltonGUEST
He was a very nice guy, David Cassidy.
David HamiltonGUEST
Um, but the pop star I was most excited to meet was Roy Orbison, and, uh, I think the reason was one of the first records that I bought was Only the Lonely.
Hannah MurrayHOST
[laughs]
Janice BrooksGUEST
I love America, all things American.
Janice BrooksGUEST
My first love was David Cassidy.
Janice BrooksGUEST
Which I think aids me terribly.
Janice BrooksGUEST
But yeah, so I've been going to New York for years and years before I actually moved there.
Keke PalmerHOST
Mm-hmm.
Tommy DavidsonGUEST
Right? And, you know, my sister look- when I was little, she looked like Cindy Brady, and my brother looked like David Cassidy.
Keke PalmerHOST
[laughs]
Tommy DavidsonGUEST
He was from The Partridge Family, and she was from The Brady Bunch.
Diane Brandon MoodyHOST
I mean, from the time we were pre-teens, we had Tiger Beat magazine.
Diane Brandon MoodyHOST
I had a giant thing for David Cassidy.
Diane Brandon MoodyHOST
From the time I was 10, like, why was I even thinking about a young man at the age of 10? It completely baffles me these days.
Diane Brandon MoodyHOST
I will tell you the story much later, about 20 years later, when I was doing PR for the Hard Rock Cafe in Dallas, I actually had the chance to have him as a special guest for a party.
IstvanHOST
Who's on board?
MichelleHOST
First up, one of my all-time favorites since I was little, David Cassidy as Ted Harms.

Wearing his father's weird mustache.
MichelleHOST
He definitely was wearing his dad's mustache.

He was outperforming in that The Beatles and Elvis when he was at his height of his career.
IstvanHOST
You know what? Deservedly so.
IstvanHOST
David Cassidy rules.
IstvanHOST
I love David Cassidy so much.
Rolo GuitarHOST
Musicians like Dylan, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Stones, Cream, Hendrix and the band had elevated popular music from its silly bass instincts in the late 50s and early 60s, giving rise to the first generation of rock critics to whom pop music and therefore their own work were a serious endeavour.
Rolo GuitarHOST
By the early 70s, the pendulum swung back in response to a new generation's taste, with the charts populated with lighter fare, like the Ostmans, David Cassidy and Gary Glitter.
Rolo GuitarHOST
The triumph of quality over gloss had only been temporary.
Rolo GuitarHOST
The battle would have to be fought again in the mid-late 70s with the rise of punk.
Mike Fenton StevensHOST
And there are other songs like that, which at the time were huge and a huge part of your life.
Mike Fenton StevensHOST
For me, there's a song that I've always thought would make a fantastic cover, which is David Cassidy's Daydreamer.
Mari WilsonGUEST
Oh, yeah, a lot of his songs were fantastic.
Mari WilsonGUEST
Yeah, that's a lovely song, Daydreamer.
