Biography

Edit

The Partridge Family's musical output grew from the American television series which ran from 1970 to 1974. The show was loosely based on the real life exploits of The Cowills. The albums were released to compliment the show but not all of the cast actually contributed to the records, with only David Cassidy and (real-life stepmother) Shirley Jones actually singing. The majority of the input was from The Ron Hicklin Singers and The Wrecking Crew. The albums were extremely successful and sold in great quantities - and so did the merchandising machine which ran alongside it.

In reality The Partridge Family did not actually tour, but David Cassidy did, performing a mixture of his own songs and Partridge Family songs. His involvement in the show was his passport to adulation but it also proved to be his nemesis, blighting his private life and his career long after the series ended.
