Ok, the song Blue Monday by Foreigner.....I must know and I can't find anything
was it covered by David Cassidy? Was it originally written by David Cassidy? The debate rages on at Casa De Nickster....

1. I'm not sure how/why I remember this...
but it's "Blue Morning", not "Blue Monday" (which was done by New Order.) :hi:

4. YES, YES. Blue Morning...Blue Day......But was it ever done by David Cassidy? I know it's on the
Foreigner Greatest Hits album, but for some reason, I thought it was somehow done by David Cassidy, unless it's just my freaky mind playing tricks on me.

2. No, IIRC Blue Monday was definitely either Don Ho or Rolf Harris.
:thumbsup:

7. Well...
According to this site the song "Blue Morning, Blue Day" was written by Lou Gramm and Mick Jones.coroborative link

According to Google's list of music for David Cassidy, there are only two songs that he performed that have the word "Morning" in them:

Album: Cherish
Title: Where is the morning

Album: Then and Now
Title: I woke up in love this morning.

Based on this information, and my inability to find anything online linking the name "David Cassidy" and "blue morning", I'd have to say that I'm pretty sure that he didn't write the song. All of the albums and singles I've been able to find also lead me to believe that he never covered the song, unless he's done so recently enough that no one has posted anything about it yet.

Q3JR4.
Could be wrong, but without more information he doesn't think so.

8. Now if "blue morning" isn't
the name of the song you're looking for, my previous posting could change....

Q3JR4.
