Brian Wilson, of the Beach Boys, called Cassidy a ”very talented and nice person”.
”There were times in the mid-1970s when he would come over to my house and we even started writing a song together, ” he said.
Singer and talk show host Harry Connick Jr said Cassidy’s death was ”so sad”.
The 1970s was an era for singing families – the Osmonds, the Jacksons. ”The Partridge Family” never cracked the top 10 in TV ratings, but the recordings under their name, mostly featuring Cassidy, Jones and session players, produced real-life musical hits and made Cassidy a real-life musical superstar.
The Partridges’ best known song, ”I Think I Love You,” spent three weeks on top of the Billboard chart at a time when other hit singles included James Taylor’s ”Fire and Rain” and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles’ ”The Tears of a Clown.” The group also reached the top 10 with ”I’ll Meet You Halfway” and ”Doesn’t Somebody Want to be Wanted” and Cassidy had a solo hit with ”Cherish.”
