David Cassidy posed naked ( for photographer Annie Leibovitz) and revealed his drug use in the May 11th, 1972 issue of Rolling Stone. 'The Business of David Cassidy' --which at that point included a Top Ten version of 'Cherish' and a hit TV show called 'The Partridge Family '-- would never be the same.
It pissed off everybody that was really profiting from the business of David Cassidy. I had fan letters that came to me--and there were hundreds of thousands of them, literally-- in defense of me by fans of mine, that said, 'Oh David, I know that you couldn't possibly have done this because I know that you would never have posed nude for photographs', And the fact was, I had, willingly done so, had thought about it. I scratched my head and thought, you know, this David Cassidy business has really gotten outta hand. ~ David Cassidy
