5.0 out of 5 stars A nice blast from the past!!!!, August 18, 1999

This review is from: Shaun Cassidy Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

If you remember lava lamps,disco bars,bellbottoms, or even the hottest movies like "Star Wars" playing in theatres, then you must remember Shaun Cassidy! One of the hottest and busiest superstars of that seventies decade! I've got all of his records. The first track on this CD is a cover of the Crystals golden oldie "Da Doo Ron Ron", a song which he originally sang on an episode of his T.V. series "The Hardy Boys Mysteries", playing Joe Hardy with his rock n' roll band at the local disco. It became a real hit for him and reached to number 1! Other songs I like on here are "Break For the Street","Hard Love",and a Beach Boys flavoured tune "Teen Dream", all of which he originally wrote. His cover songs I like are "Hey Deanie" and "That's Rock N' Roll", both cover songs by Eric Carmen. I also like "Cool Fire" and "Once Bitten Twice Shy", both of those songs were from his last solo release in which he tried to change his image into a harder kind of rocker and he also hired Todd Rundren to produce and play on his album along with his other band "Utopia", but his pop moment already passed. He mostly pursued an acting career and appeared in T.V. shows and on and off Broadway theatre productions. His T.V. work include starring in the short lived "Breaking Away"(1980-81) and a stint on the soap "General Hospital"(1987). His T.V. movies include "Like Normal People"(1979),"Once Upon A Texas Train"(1987),and "Roots: The Gift"(1988). His guest starring roles include "Matlock"(2-parts),"Murder She Wrote" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." His on and off numerous Broadway shows include "Mass Appeal","Pass/Fail","Diary of a Hunger Strike","Bus Stop"(with model/actress Jerry Hall), etc. Even though he no longer records solo albums he did star with Petula Clark and his older half brother David in the Broadway tour of "Blood Brothers", in which a soundtrack album was released as well. He then went on to producing and creating T.V. shows such as "American Gothic" and "Roar." Listen to the CD, and remember his years of fame and fortune of his music that was around the same era of other teen rock idols like John Travolta, Andy Gibb, Leif Garrett, Bay City Rollers, and Rex Smith.

Although I've just ordered this CD, I've can't wait to hear the songs I loved as a teen!I'm know that I will enjoy this as I have always been a big fan of Shaun Cassidy.I still remember the thrill of seeing him in concert when I was 13! Wouldn't it be great if they would re-release ALL of his first albums on CDs?I'd love to be able to replace the old LPs that I had as a teenager!
