C’mon get happy! In the 1970s TV series The Partridge Family, a group of musical siblings shoot to fame thanks to a catchy single and head out on the road with their mom. The show, which aired from 1970–74, was a pop culture phenomenon and made stars out of its young cast, including David Cassidy and Susan Dey.

Others dropped out of the spotlight altogether. Here’s a look at The Partridge Family cast and which stars are still alive.

Debuting in 1970, The Partridge Family ran for four seasons and 96 episodes. The series follows single mom Shirley Partridge (Shirley Jones) and her five children Keith (David Cassidy), Lori (Susan Dey), Danny (Danny Bonaduce), Chris (Jeremy Gelbwaks, later Brian Forster), and Tracy (Suzanne Crough) who form a rock band to support themselves. The band is booked by flustered manager Reuben Kincaid (Dave Madden).
Several songs from the show became big hits with "I Think I Love You" reaching the top spot on the Billboard charts. Cassidy and Jones were the only two members on the cast to actually perform the songs.

Are you ready to "get happy" once again? The Partridge Family is coming back to television. Interestingly, this isn't the first attempt at reviving the Partridge clan.
The Partridge Family debuted on September 25, 1970 on ABC. The light-hearted family sitcom tells the story of widowed mother Shirley Partridge (Shirley Jones) and her five children (Keith, Laurie, Danny, Chris, and Tracey) as they embark on a career in pop music. The kids were played by David Cassidy, Susan Dey, Danny Bonaduce, Jeremy Gelbwaks (later Brian Forster), and Suzanne Crough, respectively. Dave Madden played the family's long-suffering manager, Reuben Kincaid. Cassidy, Jones' real-life step-son, became a very popular teen idol during the show's run. The series ran for four seasons and spawned actual hit songs (most notably, " I Think I Love You ") and a few spin-offs.
