I’ve spoken many times in this blog about the talented Wrecking Crew, L.A.’s top-flight studio musicians of the 60’s and 70’s. They could sound like anybody, even a fake Cowsills-type family act. The WC made the music throughout the Partridge Family TV show’s run. David Cassidy and Shirley Jones were the only cast members that actually sang on the records; the Ron Hicklin Singers handled the other vocals. I think the great Larry Knechtel played the harpsichord here. The Partridges joined the Chipmunks and the Archies as the only fictional groups to this point that had a #1 hit. (The Monkees eventually played their own instruments.)
