It doesn't happen all the time, but occasionally kitsch burrows itself into the popular consciousness and stays put because it's timelessly, compellingly good. Such is the case with The Very Best of the Partridge Family, which at long last allows pop aficionados who have closeted their dirty-little-secret obsession with the fictitious TV group to come clean. Never mind the ruffles and dove-wing lapels—heartthrob hang-ups aside, David Cassidy can sing (skip "I Think I Love You" and check his soul chops on the raging "Roller Coaster" or his Elvis-like vocal nuances on "Point Me in the Direction of Albuquerque" instead.) And it doesn't hurt that the material he crooned was penned by some of the era's top songwriters. Barry Mann and Cynthia Weill, for example, lent their graceful imagery to "Looking Through the Eyes of Love," and Gerry Goffin was behind "I'll Meet You Halfway." Add to that the band's layered-harmony-nailing background singers and a stash of sensational session players, and it can't be helped: You get happy. -Tammy La Gorce

I grew up on the Partridge Family (way better than the Brady Bunch) and while I loved the show, it was the music that made the Partridge Family such a hit. Obviously, the Partridge Family is David Cassidy since none of the other case members (except for Shirley Jones on the show) actually sang.

But nonetheless, this is a great ... Read More

Come On Get Happy! The Very Best of the Partridge Family is a pretty good CD of some of their greatest hits. Sure, some may argue that a song or two was left out but overall this is a strong single CD compilation. The quality of the sound is very good and the artwork is really nicely done.
The CD starts with the title track, "Come On Get Happy." They sing this very well and their harmonizing is excellent. This sure brings back many memories from my childhood days! This song makes me remember ... Read More

Any Partridge Family or David Cassidy fans who want to fill in the missing songs from their collection must buy this as it has 4 previously unreleased songs on it. It also has 'Roller Coaster' from the hard to find 'Bulletin board' album and 'Come on get happy'.

There is no question that this album is unique because a trickle of songs that were never released made it to the cut. These include two from the pilot (Together having a ball, Let the Good Times In), Baby I love you -- from episode 3 and Stephanie. Also included is 'Roller Coaster' from Bulletin Board which makes a clear statement that Bulletin Board won't be out any time soon.
However, outside of that we get yet another greatest hits album. How many more greatest hits albums can I endure? ... Read More

This is a fun album and listening to it brings a lot of memories-the songs are versatile and upbeat and some of the best the Family ever did!
