I met David in 1971 the night before a concert he was giving at Monticello Raceway in New York. It was raining and he was the only other person sitting at the concession stand. He was wearing a suede floppy hat and sunglasses apparently an attempt to disguise himself. Me being a young teenage girl, I recognized that look that he was thinking Oh no here we go again. I told him not to worry, I wasn’t going to bother him and that I had problems of my own. (My mom and I had just gotten into a fight). He genuinely seemed to care and we just started chatting. I told him that I was attending his concert the following afternoon and he asked me what I was going to be wearing so he could pick me out of the crowd and dedicate a song to me, which he did. Terribly saddened over his death.

That's it! I'm going back to the sixties and early seventies! Anyone coming? 👍

Does anybody realize that David Cassidy had a great voice and was an incredible talent? What a great person.

I was in the 7th or 8th grade when this song became popular. I am now 62 and I can sing the entire song by heart. Nothing but good memories here.

I don't care what anyone says this is a great song.

Why am I crying... I'm 10 years old again that's why!! 🥹

This song, The Partridge Family, & Mr David Cassidy take me back to a magical time when the world was full of promise, & anything was possible. I think that's what nostalgia is - a memory of a time in our lives when dreams had every opportunity of coming true, or already HAD. I wish for everyone a little "Partridge Family" in their lives.

The partridge family. It wasn't only David, RIP. Bless the rest of the cast too.

I clicked "PLAY" and all of a sudden I'm back in the old days, I'm a child, and life is simple and beautiful and I can't help but sing along. Love this song!!!

I don't care what anyone says. This is a great song..

I am 72, and I hear DC singing and I an 22 again!!

As a boy born in 63, I was in love with his sister (TV wise), but Davids's voice was pure and not rehearsed, love it now 2023

Shirley Jones was stunning.. Period 💓

It's neat seeing Shirley Jones and David Cassidy singing together! Brings me back to a time when things were good and not so screwed up!

So happy I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s. Watched every episode of this show growing up.

David Cassidy was so underrated as a singer.

Grew up in the 70’s watching this show , loved it .

I’m proud say that I can sing this word for word, such a great song 😄

Love this song and so did my mate Lynny who would have been 62 today. Ist one without her. Happy birthday xxx

The wrecking crew played the music on this song and this song knocked the Beatles Let It Be off the number 1 position in 1970. It’s amazing how many songs they played on back then. Tony Romeo wrote the lyrics.

I'm a singer, 52 years old. I was at a house party for Halloween about a week ago. My friends and I play requests. This song was a request, and while I was never a big fan of the PF, I realized I knew and could sing the whole lead vocal, even though I hadn't heard it in maybe 30 years. The staying power of a good pop song can't be underestimated.

Shirley Jones was always just so damn beautiful. Gorgeous.

The Song that OUT SOLD the Beatles!! Media and Pop Culture need to both Acknowledge and Respect that!! Thank you David Cassidy for all the pure and sweet memories of youth innocence (sp)

I hope when generations look back. At musical history. At our most iconic performers/songwriters. Of the 20 century. David Cassidy will be included. Frankly, because he earned it and deserves it. Just like there will never be another Elvis. There will never be another David Cassidy. He was an original heartthrob, talented singer and songwriter.

How does this man after 46 years still give me butterflies when I hear him sing.. RIP Mr. Cassidy. You will be missed

I will ALWAYS love this song dearly, no matter how old I'll be! When it's good, it's good! Period.

I fell in love with my husband because he looks like a mix of David Cassidy and Davey Jones...just as nice and down to earth as them too! RIP in peace to both of them.

I used to watch this show religiously. This song still hits my soul. So sad to know the place where this was filmed will be no more. They already got rid of the fountain. So many great movies/shows were filmed there. PF being one of them.

Warm memories of an innocent time.

This song is so underrated,calling it doctors office music, or elevator music. But you know what, this great hit is up there with the big boys. Believe me .

He really did have a great voice. Had this single on a 45, and my Mom said I was wearing it out!

I grew up with the Partridge Family. He was on my plane once and he could not have been more pleasant or accommodating. He was very generous and stayed to take photos with the crew. RIP Keith!

Cassidy had it all , looks, talent, intelligence and seemed a nice guy too. Shame the way it ended. R I P bro.

One of the all time best Pop songs.

As a teen I loved them! This is one of my all time favorite songs!

DAVID CASSIDY I THINK I LOVED YOU IN 1970S AND STILL DO YOU MADE SOME GREAT SONGS WITH PF BUT YOU WERE TOTALLY UNDERESTIMATED FOR YOUR TALENT. RIP ❤🧡💛💛💙💜🤎

RIP to Dave Madden, aka Reuben. I loved this show when it came out, still do. And this is my favorite Partridge Family song.

I don’t care what people think, this song rocks. Such memories come back.ty

April 12 ,2021 Would have been David's birthday Never forgotten. Your voice & smile touched our hearts. Love 2 U We miss U David RIP

A very,very talented young man then and later ...I loved the music and songs ...he was unrated and deserves so much more credit and fame then he got . ...There will never be another like him ..people today who didn't grow up in that Era, will never understand how truly Famous he was then around the world...I hated to see him leave us like he did ...but I truly wish him Love,Peace, and Happiness...God's Blessing,Grace,and Mercy ...Be Happy now David !!!!!!!

When I play my albums and here on KZfaq I’m a kid again with no cares in the world. I am 59 and thank you for the memories. ❤️

I never watched the show, but I always liked this song. Call it "bubblegum" or whatever; it's really good!

It's GREAT! After school come home and watch the Partridge Family including other shows as well for kids.

It’s hard to believe he’s gone. He was very talented and my sister had his poster on her wall for years as a teenager. I always liked his voice. And the show is still very entertaining and funny. It’s held up. RIP David Cassidy

The 70s was such an optimistic decade. David was an amazing talent. I’m forever sad that he suffered demons and passed away so young

Just came here to escape to a happier time.

We must have a Partridge Family come back! Show this generation what they're missing!

I still love it after all these years

Way to go, Keith Partridge! You stood up for yourself the way women at this event were motivated to, and you didn't disappoint, with one of your family's greatest songs. Thanks for posting this gem. Rest in peace, David Cassidy.

I remember as a 11 year old, in sitting in my dads '62 model Ford Falcon, driving to and fro moving into our new brick veneer house in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia and listening to this song playing constantly on the radio!Thank you David Cassidy and The Partridge Family for the great music and the great memories!

“ I think I Love You “ this is etched in memories of an innocent and memorable time

In my opinion David Cassidy's Best Song! A Claassic!!!

Ok. One of the best songs ever. It’s perfection for its time. I said it. Don’t care. Truth is truth

I learned the words to this song when I was 10 years old. We lived in student housing at an Ivy League college in New England. There was a lovely family up the hill , Lori and Susie Keith. They taught me the song. Life was so fun back then. Those were the days when all the kids in the neighborhood played kickball til dark. They moved away the next year but every time I hear this song I think of them and how only 10 year olds could giggle over David Cassidy. Maybe some day they will see this video and remember too.

This tells you that the good times are behind us, I'm glad I lived them !

Who else is listening in 2024. Because I think I love you.

So many memories from my younger days traveling with my family. Had this song copied on a cassette with Knock Three Times and Sugar Sugar. Plus others. I had only 1 tape which was played on my tape recorder, over and over. In a small car with my parents and sister from Virginia to Tennessee and down west coast Florida and up east coast, during Christmas break. Im pretty sure after two weeks, my dad confiscated the tape once home.

Can anyone believe that David Cassidy had to convince the shows producer that he had real talent? David not only carried the show but became a star at the same time. He was a Superstar!

It's years since i've heard this, absolutely love it 🥰🎤🎶💃🎶

Don't care what people say, this song is BRILLIANT!

Rest In Peace! David Cassidy.

I never cared about what anyone thought of anything..this is a golden song

I'm 63 years old and have every single Partridge Family LP on CD 💿 . Keith was my first love ❤ 😍 💖. So long, Sheriff Swell, we hardly knew ye. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

RIP ! Enjoyed times at Belmont Race Track and watching the horses run. He loved horses. It's not always roses but it was a place to escape to and leave the problems behind. ❤ 🎶 🐎 Nice person !

R.I.P. DAVID.

My wife raises her eyebrows when I play this full volume, she never understands the seventies, she was too young 😂

There was a reason we had so much happiness and simplicity during the 70's. - We had sustainably and a real spirituality before... The 70s was full of joy and happiness.

This song brings back a lot of memories!! David Cassidy never got the respect he deserved. Thank you David & the Part ridge family for the memories!!

The Partridge Family put out some good songs. Over 45 years later, I still remember the words.

Tony Romeo signature masterpiece. David was amazing , what a handsome man and that voice. Its funny the production company Screen Gems never knew David had such a great voice and agreed to let him sing lead along with his Stepmom Shirley Jones. And as they say the rest is history !

Bless him. I know all the words and I'm having a wee trip down memory lane while my partner watches his golf. I'm now 66 and I feel blessed that I can smile when I watch and remember being in love with David and the partridge family.

Who remembers rushing to the nearest record store to buy this single, only to be told it was not in stock yet?When this song aired on PF, a David Cassidy frenzy was born

One thing is certain: apart from his incredible appearance in his heyday, his voice was so unique, soulful and powerful in one. He also wrote good songs, could play the piano and guitar. David Cassidy was not only revered as the best looking guy, but especially because he was a great musician! Thank you for the music. RIP David Cassidy

My heart bleeds. I still cant wrap my head around the fact that we are old and that David has died. It really does hurt.

This brings back nice memories. This song came out in 1970, when they created their first album under David Cassidy himself, and Wes Ferrell. I never get bored of any of these great songs. I enjoy David Cassidy, Shirley Jones, Danny, Susan, David Madden, and the rest. The Partridge Family is my favorite sitcom program. I never get tired of watching my box set of 96 episodes.🎵🎶🎼

im a 62 born guy and damn do i love this . we didnt have a phone but we had a tv that was big lol. 9 kids and we all loved david cassidy and the partridge family . i also was a thunderbirds boy and a star trek fan . im in memory lane but enjoing it !!!!!!!!

I maybe be a black geek , but , I love this song!! unaplogetically

I think I love the partridge family.

You know what’s crazy? I haven’t heard this song forever but I remembered every word!!!

I remember when this hit song was on the radio before the Partridge Family premiered on TV. It was a wonderful introduction to the series to come!

man, were those the days! - filled with dreams of love and wonderful memories!

Today, November 21, 2017, surrounded by family and friends, actor David Cassidy of the Partridge Family passed away at the age of 67. Rest in eternal peace, David

I beg my mom to get this album when I was 9 , my friends and I sang this for a talent show when I was 9 , I was a back up singer to it. even had David all over my bedroom wall. you are sadly missed but your music goes on. 💖💖💙💚

I WORKED ON THIS SHOW I WAS A LITTLE CHILD. I had Puppy Love with David, He was great throwing me in the air catching me. Rest his soul I still and always will love him miss him dearly . Peace "Zeppelin David for life"

Part of my Youth is gone now. I feel so Damn Old....What a great talent when singers COULD ACTUALLY sing.. Thank you Mr. Cassidy for bringing a little joy to this Tumultuous World. My Respects. RH DSD

I think I love KZfaq..KZfaq allows me to travel to far away places, and listen to songs that I grew up listening to!

As a kid I thought Shirley Jones was an old lady. Now She was an absolute pleasure to look at. 💯💯babe.

I wouldn't give anything for my 45 of the song I think David is a legend and always will be.

We saw david cassady in Greensboro, NC April 29, 1972. It was awesome!

I love the patridge family show

As young girl watching the Partridge Family everyday never missed an episode the song was great to hear and sing it too

Always been a big fan of The Partridge Family rest in peace David Cassidy 2021 baby

Yes one of my favorite songs😍

I like this song better now than I did then. Whose still listening in 2019?

One of the best shows of its time and one of the best songs.

This video. The first time I saw an electric guitar. (Danny's) and I was smitten. 43 years later, I'm still writing songs, playing guitar. This show shaped my life. Beat the hell out of the Brady Bunch, hands down. I just watched and remember being 7 and asking my mom what an electric guitar was. Wow. Thanks, PF for .. too much to list. 😊

Great song that somehow never makes the Power Pop lists. Criminally overlooked.

Omg. Love this song. Flashing back to the past for sure ❤️❤️❤️❤️

They don't make them like they used to. How many shows nowadays have a Format like the Patridge Family and the Monkees for example which the cast does a show and tune at the end.....Unique. Those days are missed but thanks to the Internet can be re-lived. Love their songs also!

No doubt that the 70s was the era of the greatest popular songs ever.
