In this week’s episode fans explain why and how David mattered. This month – September 2020 – it is 50 years since The Partridge Family first aired on ABC in the United States; the night he entered our hearts and minds. It is, as he once sang, a love there is no cure for.
It’s wrong to say we don’t think of David – he has been such an important part of our lives for 50 years – and because we have always loved him for what he represented to us, the way he made us feel and how he unknowingly played an important role in our growth, we will always remember him.
You will hear how he influenced fans including Leigh Ashton who was born in Manchester, England, moving to South Africa when he was three. He launched his career as a singer-songwriter when he was 19, releasing his first single in 1975. Two years later he had a hit with his self-penned song, Tanya, in a career inspired by David’s vocals.
Visit the Leigh Ashton Home Recordings channel on You Tube to hear more of his work.
