The Partridge Family Download Album the Partridge Family Album the partridge family download album The Partridge Family Album. This platter is the first of seven non-seasonal offerings from the pre-fabricated-for-television entity known as the Partridge Family. The idea took root in both the overtly marketing-oriented Monkees' multimedia project and combined it with the infinite storyline possibilities inherent in the honest to goodness pop/rock relations, the Cowsills. The Partridge Family ran on ABC-TV from September 25, 1970, through August 31, 1974. Just as the Monkees had been created to do, a few of the primary cast members -- in this case, Shirley Jones (vocals) and David Cassidy (vocals) -- were also the Partridge Family's lead vocalists. The campaign ultimately yielded a consistently high-rated television program and The Partridge Family Album (1970) -- which was issued only a few weeks after the show's debut -- became the first of seven Top 40 LPs that yielded a pair of Top Ten hits on a double-sided 45 containing both "I Think I Love You" and "Somebody Wants to Love You." Accompanying Cassidy and Jones are session gurus Hal Blaine (drums), Larry Carlton (guitar), Joe Osborne (bass), and Larry Knechtel (keyboards). Providing the sucrose-laden backing vocals is the Love Generation, who ultimately participated on all of the Partridge Family's LPs. Along with a cast of co-collaborators, it was Wes Farrell who created the sound that would become most synonymous with the "Family." One of the only non-Farrell cuts is the Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil side "I Really Want to Know You." This is of particular note as it was also recorded by the Cowsills on one of their concurrent efforts. Along with "I'm on the Road'" -- the album's other Mann/Weil composition -- these also represent two tracks without a Cassidy or Jones lead vocal. Rather, the Love Generation provided a dated-sounding ersatz ensemble vocal. All 11 of the songs on The Partridge Family Album were incorporated into the TV show and several, such as "I Can Feel Your Heartbeat" and "Point Me in the Direction of Albuquerque," have become favorites even though they were not singles. In 2000, Buddha Records began restoring the Partridge Family catalog and reissued this title on CD for the first time. IsraBox - Music is Life!

Up to Date (1971) quickly followed on the heels of the enormous success of both The Partridge Family weekly television program -- which debuted on ABC-TV on September 25, 1970 -- as well as their eponymous self-titled long-player. In fact, some of the tracks used on this, the second album issued under the Partridge moniker, were actually left over from the prolific sessions that produced the first full-length platter. The wholly manufactured musical group was inspired (at least financially) by the overwhelmingly positive profits that the Monkees had made for Screen Gems television in the mid-'60s. Coupled with an equally brilliant storyline about a family who performed together -- which was inspired by the real-life pop/rock family the Cowsills -- the Partridge Family became a cultural icon. In a further nod to the prefabricated foursome's phenomenon, primary cast members -- in this case, Shirley Jones (vocals) and David Cassidy (vocals) -- also served double duty as Partridge Family lead vocalists. On Up to Date, Cassidy and Jones are again backed up by an army of recording session stalwarts, including Hal Blaine (drums), Larry Carlton (guitar), Joe Osborne (bass), and Larry Knechtel (keyboards). Providing the saccharine-sweet, make-your-teeth-hurt backing vocals are the six-member Love Generation. The formula continued to work and the hits just kept on coming, with both "I'll Meet You Halfway" and "Doesn't Somebody Want to Be Wanted" shooting into the Top Ten on the singles chart. Interestingly, the latter title was initially balked at by Cassidy and subsequently instigated the first of many heated "discussions" between the star and Partridge musical guru Wes Farrell. There are other standouts on Up to Date, including the moody ballad "I'm Here You're Here." Although slightly dated, "Umbrella Man" contains a noir sensibility and swing that also bear repeated listening. Cassidy 's songwriting prowess blooms for his first Partridge contribution on the track "Lay It on the Line." The emotive "She'd Rather Have the Rain" is also a keeper with its haunting yet lyrical chord progressions and solid vocals. The Partridge Family Sound Magazine. The Partridge Family Sound Magazine, the third long-player from the pre-fab and made-for-TV combo, was also the last to make it into the Top Ten. Taking a page right out of the overwhelming phenomenon that was Monkee mania, The Partridge Family ran on ABC-TV from September 25, 1970, through August 31, 1974. Although the tunes were more or less a byproduct of the show's success, producer Wes Farrell actually incorporated the same methodology that Bert Schneider and Bob Rafelson had used on The Monkees. This involved primary cast members Shirley Jones and David Cassidy on lead vocals for all Partridge Family projects in addition to their chores as actors. The campaign yielded not only consistently favorable ratings on TV, but no less than nine Top 40 LPs and 11 Top 40 singles. Providing instrumental support for Cassidy and Jones were some of the most prolific pop and rock studio musicians of the era -- many of whom had likewise worked on Monkees platters. Heavyweights such as Hal Blaine (drums), Larry Carlton (guitar), Joe Osborne (bass), and Larry Knechtel (keyboards) gave the vocalists a nonconfrontational and genteel sound to match their squeaky-clean persona. Also joining the proceedings were the cavity-invoking backing harmonies of the Love Generation, who had participated to some degree on every Partridge Family release. The single "I Woke Up in Love This Morning" reached the Top 20 survey, making it the highest-profile side on the album. Other notable fan favorites included are "Echo Valley 2- 6809," "Summer Days," and "Love Is All That I Ever Needed," the Cassidy co-composition concluding this effort. Tony Romeo, Songwriter, 56. Tony Romeo, a musician who wrote the Partridge Family's 1970 hit song "I Think I Love You," died on Friday at his home here. He was 56. He died of a heart attack, according to the Parker Brothers Memorial Funeral Home. The song, sung by David Cassidy, who played Keith Partridge on the popular television show, hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts. He wrote several other songs for the fictional singing family, which was known known for their garish 1970's outfits and bubble-gum songs..

  • December 2017
    Memory Magazine December 2017 The World Health Organization (WHO) have launched a Global Dementia Observatory to track worldwide impact and responses to dementia. The commencement of the Observatory follows the adoption of a Global plan on dementia by 194 governments of the WHO in May and will greatly enhance the ability of stakeholders everywhere to support advances in awareness and research. Dementia affects 50 million people and will cost the global economy over a trillion US dollars in 2018. By 2050, the number of people living with dementia is expected to triple with the majority of individuals affected in low and middle income counties. Alzheimer’s Disease International has been actively involved in the development of the Global Observatory by the WHO, that will compile and monitor significant data on the disease, diagnosis, access to resources, policy and care and support for those affected. 21 countries have so far provided data for the Observatory and this is expected to increase to over 50 countries in 2018. Only 3 countries are able to indicate the number of people who have received a diagnosis, highlighting a critical need for greater awareness, infrastructure and support. ADI’s World Alzheimer Report 2016 suggests as few as 10% of those in low and middle income countries receive a diagnosis. Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of WHO, said, “We must pay greater attention to this growing challenge and ensure that all people living with dementia, wherever they live, get the care that they need." The Observatory will provide a vital knowledge database where medical professionals, researchers, civil society and others will be able to access the largest collection of up to date information on dementia, listed by country and region.
