David Cassidy

One of pop culture's most celebrated teen idols!  This instantly-recognizable superstar of stage, screen and the Las Vegas Strip, is more than just a trailblazing singer, actor, songwriter and guitarist: he's also a cultural symbol for an entire generation of music-lovers.  Throughout the 70s, Cassidy sold over 25 million records, garnered multiple Grammy nominations, won a Golden Globe Award, registered 18 Gold and Platinum recordings - including four consecutive Multiplatinum releases - sold-out concert venues around the world and became the world's highest-paid solo live performer by the age of 21. In 1972, Cassidy sold-out the Houston Astrodome in back-to-back nights, thrilling 112 thousand adoring fans. In 1973 Cassidy filled Wembley Stadium in London six times in three days, a record that not even the Rolling Stones have been able to emulate.
