Singing Career

Shaun Cassidy was very passionate about singing from his high school days and he signed a contract with Mike Curb's division of Warner Bros. Records and started his recording journey. His debut album ‘Shaun Cassidy’ (1976) was first released in Europe and Australia where it became a major hit. Later on, it was released in the US as well. The album became an instant hit in the US and the single ‘Da Doo Ron Ron’ from the album topped the Billboard Charts and Cassidy was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best New Artist.

His next Album ‘Born Late’, written by Eric Carmen, was also a big hit as it peaked at No. 6 on the US Top 200 Albums chart. The album had several hit singles including ‘Hey Deanie’ which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard. After delivering two hot albums, Cassidy somewhat lost his appeal as his third album ‘Under Wraps’ failed to live up to its expectations. It peaked at No. 33 on the US Top 40 and no single from the album other than ‘Our Night’ could break into the US Top 100. The next album ‘Room Service’ fared even worse as it could not even get into the Top 200.

Television Career

In the late 1970s, Shaun Cassidy decided to get into the show business and he appeared in ‘The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries’, a television mystery series based on the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew novel series.

In 1988, he acted in two television movies, ‘Once Upon a Texas Train’ and ‘Roots: The Gift’, as well as in one episode of ‘Matlock’. He retired from acting that year.

In the ensuing years, he focused only on scriptwriting and producing television shows. He wrote the scripts of several shows which he produced as well, including ‘American Gothic’ (1995), ‘Roar’ (1997), ‘Cover Me: Based on the True Life of an FBI Family’ (2000-01), ‘The Agency’ (2001), ‘’ The Mountain’ (2004-05), ‘Invasion’ (2005-06), ‘Ruby & the Rockits’ (2009), ‘Hysteria’ (2014), and ‘Emerald City’ (2016).
