I had that album.

“Doesn’t Somebody Want To Be Wanted”

That was the song that was playing during the infamous WOWO EBS False Alarm (February 20, 1971)

I had the lunchbox.

They had some surprisingly good songs for a weekly television show.

Susan Dey...SCHWING!

Well if the world was ending in a nuclear holocaust, you could do worse than go out with the Partridge Family.

I believe one of their many hits was “How Can I Be Sure?”
It was more a solo for David than a group effort, sort of the way the song “Michelle” was totally performed by Paul McCartney, at least vocally it was.

*”How Can I Be Sure” was written by Eddie Brigati and Felix Cavaliere of The Rascals.

Especially Laurie.

Hell, Shirley Jones was hot too.

“Laurie Partridge...not really playing the keyboards” - The Richmeister (SNL)

[SamAdams76]

But playing our heartstrings...

I remember that song.
I was one bad-ass hippie.../dry>

I used to get Susan Dey and Peggy Lipton mixed up.
Later on, I could see they are not alike at all if you really look. Susan’s eyes are more distinct, and she tended to smile a lot.
Peggy had smooth, almost a nordic look to her, and kept a more placid expression in public. A young Greta Garbo.

Pretty much The Wrecking Crew played on their albums.

Point Me In The Direction Of Albuquerque is much underrated.

I don't know why, but when I think of the Partridge Family I immediately go to The Cowsills.

Here they are from 2017, and when they perform Hair, it is very solid.

I may still have a Partridge Family album or two, but the lunchbox is long gone. Too bad my pack rat mother didn’t save that one and the Laugh-In one - highly collectible!
