David shares amusing anecdotes of meeting Connie Francis and Cliff Richard.</p> <p>He joined Radio One, the leading pop station in the UK, where he first met David Cassidy when he was a guest on his show in 1972. The following year he was invited to compere David’s UK tour when he sold out a record-breaking six concerts in three days at Wembley’s Empire Pool, a record previously held by the Rolling Stones, and Cassidymania erupted.</p> <p>David reflects on working with the 1970s superstar and the impact of fandom on international stars.
