Jack Cassidy (David's father), as opposed to Jack Casaday.
Jack Cassidy met his maker after falling asleep in bed with a lit cigarette. He had to be identified by his dental records.

That is brilliant. And you, Sir, have a demented twisted mind!

I remembered that Jack Cassidy died young and unexpectedly, not sure that I ever read about the fire.

Offspring can be disappointing sometimes and the Patridge Family wasn't everybody's cup of tea, but IMHO self-burning is carrying things a bit too far.

From what I've heard, Jack was envious of David's fame - Dad was a "real" actor and felt that he deserved better.

Worse things have and do happen on TV.

Shirley Jones was on the Today show a few weeks ago, she was starting a singing tour and was still in good voice. I just looked up her age, she's 77 today.

My youngest sister had David Cassidy posters on her wall until he posed nude somewhere (Rolling Stone?), then they all came down at once. It was too much for a 12 year old.

Kinda creepy - as is this recent pic of Davy Jones

Yikes!

Davy Jones with moobs! Where's the eyewash!

Geez, at least David Cassidy was young when he, errm, shed his bubblegum image.

These days he's a credible Vegas style middle of the road/blue-eyed soul singer me thinks. Nice voice.

Sure appears gay as a goose though, should have taken him for that Liberace movie!

He certainly had talent. Talk about (over-)embellished piano playing!
