David Cassidy is best known for his role as Keith Partridge on “The Partridge Family.” But girls really went crazy when he began recording songs for the show. It made him a teen pop star, and by age 21 he was the highest-paid solo live performer. And talk about crazy fans. During Cassidy’s last public performance in 1974, thousands of teenage girls trampled each other to get closer to the stage. Sheesh.

An obsessed fan shares: “I would look forward to spending every Friday night with ‘The Partridge Family.’ David Cassidy’s puppy dog eyes and shaggy hair completely won me over. I spent all my pocket money collecting his albums.” — Shelley H.
