It started in March of 1971 when David Cassidy performed his first concert in Seattle, Washington. By spring of 1972, he was posing nude for Rolling Stone in an attempt to break his squeaky clean image. He became the highest paid performer on the planet and he toured the world through spring of 1974. In his final concert tour, a young fan tragically died at his White City Stadium concert in the U.K. which took its toll on David.

When We’re Singin’ recounts the unimaginable rise of a superstar, his staying power, and the effect it had during The Partridge Family years. There has never been a roller coaster ride quite like it.
When We're Singin' explores the effort behind matching the image of the Television show to the sound of the music.
While the producers and creators of the TV show were crafting the look and feel of the show, the music was being done at Western Recorders, Studio 2, and Wes Farrell was in charge. Farrell was highly driven, and it was his responsibility to come up with credible pop music, but it had to match the desired image of the show.
He pulled the best musicians, singers and songwriters of the day into the project, and as a result the music was truly rooted in an adult contemporary, or easy listening sound. With the music as believable as the strength of its image created through the magic of television, (thanks to some really terrific actors and directors) the marketing of this product took off on an international roller coaster ride that proved to be bigger than any TV/Music marketing package ever created up to that point.
