Born on September 27, 1958, he comes from a lineage deeply rooted in the entertainment industry; he is the son of Academy Award-winning actress Shirley Jones and actor Jack Cassidy. Shaun's early music career was marked by a wave of teen idol fame, propelled by his good looks, well-crafted pop songs, and a voice that resonated with audiences worldwide. His self-titled debut album, "Shaun Cassidy," released in 1976, featured the hit single "Da Doo Ron Ron," which rocketed to the top of the charts, setting the stage for a series of successful albums including "Born Late" and the notably adventurous "Wasp."
