The Partridge Family's "I Think I Love You" is a terrible song. It's a monotone monologue. There's almost no melody. That it became a worldwide sensation is a testimony to the incredible singing of David Cassidy. This was our first exposure to him and we all went crazy for it, despite the song.
David had a smooth voice that was loaded with personality. It had the quality of making you feel that he was in the room with you. And he could sing powerfully and do it on the dime. It was like a car going 0 to 60 in 4 seconds. His timing was impeccable. Being a musician and gifted comedic actor played a role there. Each one of his artistic gifts aided the other. He was one of a kind, one of the best pop singers ever.
