Not many groups around that captured an era the way the Cowsills did.....Their special sound and harmonies bring back the late 60's in full bloom! I never realized Susan had such a great voice...God bless them all!
Great job. I've watched and listen to more Cowsill songs in the last 3 months ......than in my whole life and I'm 61 yrs old. Takes me back to the mid to late 60s.
I had always wished things could have been different for them at the time this was made. I'm hoping and praying they can continue their success as I speak now in Jan. 2024. Because they deserve the very best in life!!
Very difficult time I suppose having just lost Barry , and Billy , sad for that. Special song and its specifically touching. Adorable hug for Joan Rivers . Very nice song. Very importive.
F*** I sure in the hell can't multitask.lmao😂 that message above, was for my brother. but I was listening to this great song by The cowsills. Damn , I've always loved this ,band. Louise Planker, did an incredible documentary on this family. Catch it on TH-cam.
Apparently this clip is from 1990, so Susan would have been about 31 years old. If you watch the "interview" clip with Joan Rivers (also uploaded to TH-cam), you'll hear that Barbara, the mother, had already passed on.
Damn...I like all genres of music but I wish I had known about them I would have stayed in touch. I'm younger than them just shy of 10 years but in 1990 I just didn't remember 'The rain, the park and other thing...' and although I do remember watching the Joan Rivers show, it's possible I might have missed this showing.
Right ... Bill was probably with his Blue Shadows group in Canada at the time (and he stopped touring with the family quite early) ... and Barry, didn't play with them often (doing his own thing?). John (drummer) has been with the Beach Boys for several years, so this is one of the rare recent youtube videos with 3 of the boys. Bob, Paul and Susan often still play now. Thanks Shamsky!
@xxxMrSuspendedxxx Don't know if it's Barry, since they mentioned having another bass player during the previous interview on the same show. But I do know he didn't end up a street person. Married, 4 kids, etc. But yeah, ended up drowned by Katrina, since they lived just outside the French Quarter.
Bud and Barbara obviously weren't big on orthodontia -- but the song is great. I went and bought the "Global" album on iTunes after watching this clip.
I'm pretty sure that's Bob on guitar. Not sure who the bass player is though. Barry used to be the primary bass player, but that bloke looks way too young and he isn't singing.
Real real real Beautiful TEETH I didn't realize how t store getting to be in 2012 there are little plastic premanufactured chIcLETTES :D love there beautiful good natural wholesome looks I'm crying
John is fun to watch drumming. I have been seeing videos of John playing with the Beach Boys, and I find myself focusing on John over the actual Beach Boys. Besides being an incredible drummer, he has great energy, he's almost like dancing with those drums because he is so animated, not to mention he can sing and play the drums at the same time! It has been fun rediscovering the Cowsills after 55 years or so!
Susan is great. So are her brothers. She makes one want to gag gag after hearing Lady Gaga. A lot of the so called singers of today are not real singers with talent. The producers of the tripe of today synthesize the vocals and even the lead vocals. They are no talent bums compared to Susan here.
What is with the youngest brother who faked the Brititsh accent?? that was bizarre...I will say that their harmonies were still good--even in the 90's....Sitting there, they all seemed like they wanted attention....and Joan didn't do a very good interview...but their attitudes didn't help.....anyway... it's fun to see them 20yrs after their fame....RIP Barry and Billy...
You can tell Susan is faking playing the guitar. Even she said she only learned not very long ago. She still only plays rythm. Anyone can learn ryrhm. Bob John and Paul play for real.
Not many groups around that captured an era the way the Cowsills did.....Their special sound and harmonies bring back the late 60's in full bloom! I never realized Susan had such a great voice...God bless them all!
EXTREMELY underrated! It's sad we didn't enjoy them more.
Great job. I've watched and listen to more Cowsill songs in the last 3 months ......than in my whole life and I'm 61 yrs old. Takes me back to the mid to late 60s.
Love this. Good song! And Susan sounds *great*!
I had always wished things could have been different for them at the time this was made. I'm hoping and praying they can continue their success as I speak now in Jan. 2024. Because they deserve the very best in life!!
Susan still rocks! They ALL do! And they just keep getting better and better. Thanks for posting this one, James!
~Barb
Two badass guitars
Awesome!!!! Love the many songs and lyrics the Cowsills have given us all of the years. Great harmonies, too.
I have been a fan my entire life. This track is awesome.
God Bless the Cowsills!
Very difficult time I suppose having just lost Barry , and Billy , sad for that. Special song and its specifically touching. Adorable hug for Joan Rivers . Very nice song. Very importive.
Thanks so much for sharing this!
Glad I ran across this. I loved their stuff back when
F*** I sure in the hell can't multitask.lmao😂 that message above, was for my brother. but I was listening to this great song by The cowsills. Damn , I've always loved this ,band. Louise Planker, did an incredible documentary on this family. Catch it on TH-cam.
Nothing but good stuff...
Wish they did Is It Any Wonder - killer tune from the same CD. Amazing you located this video - very cool
Great song!!
lovely Cowills still giving generously,thank you Ms River.
Listen to this song on their 'Global' album.......it is fantastic.

I didn't expect this song to sound so good. Very nice. I like their personalities in the interview segment too.
The Cowsills are so amazing ❤back than and even more so now
I think every red-blooded American boy in the 60's had a crush on Susan...the way she used to dance-wow!
Ralph Artabazon She still dances like that
unbridled joy.
Best dancer of the ‘60s.
Their story is so tragic
A really good example of how a man can totally destroy his own family
Yep, Bud was toxic, no doubt.
Wow this sounds really good...
Damn...I like all genres of music but I wish I had known about them I would have stayed in touch. I'm younger than them just shy of 10 years but in 1990 I just didn't remember 'The rain, the park and other thing...' and although I do remember watching the Joan Rivers show, it's possible I might have missed this showing.
FANtastic!
The youngest brother who faked the British accent was John Cowsill, the drummer. He was just joking around. Paul and Barry liked to joke it up too.
Barry died in Katrina. Bill on the day of Barry's funeral. This video features Bob on lead guitar, Sue on rhythm, John on drums, and Paul on keys.
Who is the other guitarist with the gray shirt on ?
Kickass! Thanks
This is so awsome
They played their instruments. The Partridge Family was the Wrecking Crew.
James, you Cowsill God, you!
I've been dying to get my hands on this one...
AWESOME! Thanks, Kate
Right ... Bill was probably with his Blue Shadows group in Canada at the time (and he stopped touring with the family quite early) ... and Barry, didn't play with them often (doing his own thing?).

John also played with Jan and dean for a lot of years as well
John also played with The Beach Boys including the 2012 reunion tour.
This is cool song. Is there a ballad, acoustic version of it?
It is different seeing Susan take lead, it was always her brothers. time changes so quickly.
Wow nice song!
Muito bom suzan canta muito
@xxxMrSuspendedxxx Don't know if it's Barry, since they mentioned having another bass player during the previous interview on the same show. But I do know he didn't end up a street person. Married, 4 kids, etc. But yeah, ended up drowned by Katrina, since they lived just outside the French Quarter.
Go Cows 🐮
Who was playing bass on this video? Great tune..always was a great group.
I wondered that too.
Sensational song! The way they harmonize reminds me of the sounds of the band Abba.
Bud and Barbara obviously weren't big on orthodontia -- but the song is great. I went and bought the "Global" album on iTunes after watching this clip.
And Barry rocking the guitar-sweet!!
I'm pretty sure that's Bob on guitar. Not sure who the bass player is though. Barry used to be the primary bass player, but that bloke looks way too young and he isn't singing.
This could have been a huge hit, if it would have been promoted better.
I had the sreaming hots for her in my preteen yesrs.But idk.
Real real real
Beautiful TEETH
I didn't realize how t store getting to be in 2012 there are little plastic premanufactured chIcLETTES
:D
love there beautiful good natural wholesome looks
I'm crying
deadmanswife2 Your grammar is horrendous.
If you told him that, he'd crack right up
The cowsills had plenty of talent. the others had money. I wish they had gotten more notice.
Bill Cowsill the missing band member put them over the top, that being said though with Bill not being there the Cowsills are on the top ....
Susan is still hot.,can anyone tell me if this song done well in the ratings?
Was this the week or do later after Zanzibar?
Where was Barry and Bill?
Where was the mom by this time in their careers? Anyone know what year this video is from?
Mom died in 1985
Video around 1990. Their mom passed away in 1985 I believe
it always cracks me up when drummers who are playing mellow, simplistic music act like they are wailing on the drums really hard ala keith moon..
John is fun to watch drumming. I have been seeing videos of John playing with the Beach Boys, and I find myself focusing on John over the actual Beach Boys. Besides being an incredible drummer, he has great energy, he's almost like dancing with those drums because he is so animated, not to mention he can sing and play the drums at the same time!

Susan
Barry
John
Paul
Where's Bill?!?
In Canada
Wish the sound was better it's muffled and can't hardly hear the drums ( sorry John)
Underrated shamefully badly managed great talented
A golf course and they couldnt get Susan Braces ?
Susan is great. So are her brothers. She makes one want to gag gag after hearing Lady Gaga. A lot of the so called singers of today are not real singers with talent. The producers of the tripe of today synthesize the vocals and even the lead vocals. They are no talent bums compared to Susan here.

Youngest brother is John. And he has a sense of humor!
You can tell Susan is faking playing the guitar. Even she said she only learned not very long ago. She still only plays rythm. Anyone can learn ryrhm. Bob John and Paul play for real.
It would have been much better without that horrible cheap sounding synth part.
They were such a great group but that song was terrible
Nice< Wish it was better rez though. : )
