Celebrity Rock: The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)(1973)

You might recall that on The Partridge Family, only Keith (David Cassidy) did any actual singing. The rest of the family band, including Shirley (Shirley Jones), had their singing voices dubbed over by studio musicians, this despite the fact that Shirley was a trained vocalist herself.

Before the series was over, Danny Bonaduce had released a solo album, and, to support it, appeared on a American Bandstand primetime special, Rockin' The Palace, in June 1973, hosted by the comedy team of Skiles & Henderson.

Here's Danny performing a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)".



Well, at least now we know why Danny had to have someone sing for him on Partridge.
