Shaun Cassidy Musical Showcase

Shaun Cassidy is an American actor, singer, writer, and producer who became a teen idol superstar during the 1970s.

He is actress Shirley Jones' oldest son, and the second son of actor Jack Cassidy (who is also the father of Shaun's half-brother David Cassidy of The Partridge Family fame).

While still in school (Beverly Hills High), Shaun landed a recording contract with Warner Brothers. A series of singles were released in Europe, followed by his self-titled American debut album in 1977, which at the time became the biggest selling solo debut in history.

The album earned Cassidy a Grammy nomination and a number one single, "Da Doo Ron Ron". Two follow-up singles, "That's Rock n' Roll" (number three) and "Hey Deanie" (number seven), both written by Eric Carmen, were also top ten hits.

Around the same time, Cassidy landed a starring role on "The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries" which ran for three seasons on ABC television. Several successful albums and concert tours followed, culminating with a final album, "Wasp" (produced by Todd Rundgren) and several sold out shows at the biggest US venues, including New York's Madison Square Garden and Los Angeles' Forum. His final concert was at the Houston Astrodome in 1980.

Throughout the Seventies, Shaun appeared on dozens of magazine covers and hundreds of articles including pin-up features in publications such as Teen Beat and Tiger Star.

This page is dedicated to his musical work, and showcases several fan-created photo montage videos set to his chart-topping songs.
