    I love Lulu's version of "To Sir With Love" but wow! Susan's vocal here is heartbreakingly beautiful, capturing the sadness and earnestness intended in the lyrics. All the Cowsill's singing voices are beautiful, but they also had that way of communicating real raw emotion, sad or ebullent.

    I'm a very recent addition to the Cowsill appreciation club.
    Saw Bob, Susan, and Paul on one of those late night, 60s compilation CD infomercials. I was immediately struck by their infectious personalities, especially Sue.
    Then I remembered that they did that cool ass song "Hair".
    I looked it up on You Tube, saw that video from the '69 Carl Reiner show and that was it!
    In 3 months, I've watched every piece of video that they have, the documentaries, the TV appearances, as well as read up on them.
    What great talent and how interesting is their story.
    They may not have had a #1 since Hair, but I enjoy everything they've put out.
    Corny variety show Pop, 60s retro, or Billy's country stuff......All freakin amazing!
    Hope they have one last little tour in them, and get near Philly. I would be honored to meet them!
    Thanx Cowsill's!

      It was definitely not a lack of applause, even though it might sound that way. Folks here were LOVING the Cowsills trio.

    The sound on this is not great, but I realize the facilities and setup were limited. Still, always wonderful to hear the Cowsills, whether its the trio or the whole band. It was cool hearing the snippet of "River Blue", a song I never heard them do live. But loved all the songs. To this day, when I hear "Puff...", I cry. Don't care much for the acting out of the song, though. However, it sounds wonderful here anyway. Also loved the banter between the songs. And although I couldn't hear the questions from the audience the Q & A segment was particularly enjoyable. BTW, the CD they mentioned they were recording should be released on or around the 1st of April in 2019.
