It is no surprise that Shaun Cassidy rose to fame so quickly. His boyish good looks and incredible musical talent meant that he was destined to become a heartthrob.

Cassidy was only 18 when he recorded this famous rendition of the classic rock song, "Da Doo Ron Ron." This was way back in 1977 and the song is still loved by so many.

The song became an instant hit and rose to the top spot in the charts. Shaun was not the first or only artist to record this hit. It was first made famous by a girl group The Crystals, so when Shaun took the song on, they had to change the lyrics from singing about "Bill" to "Jill." Shaun said he was thrilled to do a reboot of the hit since it was the first record he ever bought, as reported here by Songfacts.com.

The teen singer is the brother of the famous David Cassidy, an actor, and singer that was star of the hit show, "The Partridge Family."

Although deemed something of a one-hit-wonder at the time where other artists such as Freddie Mercury were dominating the charts, Shaun succeeded in bringing this memorable hit to a new generation of fans. 

It is rare to hear "Da Doo Run Run" now on radio stations. Even though it was considered rock'n'roll at the time of its release in the 1970s, you are now more likely to hear it when scrolling through the oldies stations. Regardless of its status, the song is a true classic that has stood the test of time.

You can re-live the musical magic of "Da Doo Ron Ron" by watching Cassidy perform it in this video clip. Everyone will delight in taking this trip down memory lane so be sure to spread the video to all of your friends and family.
