Danny Partridge’s solo album

Danny Bonaduce, the child star of the Partridge Family, now an LA radio show dj and reality show oddball. Here’s his own lp circa 1970 at the height of the show’s popularity. Just because David Cassidy could have hit records didn’t mean Danny could, but MGM couldn’t resist that face I guess.

The Partridge Family were on Bell records (which later morphed into Arista). The reason Bonaduce faced no legal problems putting out material on MGM probably had something to do with the fact that he never sang a note on any Partridge Family material, although his face was usually featured somewhere on the covers of their albums. This was by no means unprecedented. Peter Tork’s face is featured quite prominently on the cover of the Monkees’ first album, and it’s questionable whether he sang a single note on the entire LP (he might possibly have contributed some backing vocals to “Saturday’s Child” but even that’s ambiguous).
