I've been crushing on Susan Cowsill since the ol' "The Rain, the Park and Other Things" Days. Not for nothing... This version of "To Sir With Love" gives me goosebumps! I didn't think anyone could top Lulu, but, well, there it is!
YES THEY SHOULD I LIVE IN EUCLID I PROBABLY SHOULD ASK ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME IM 😅🤔😄🤣GOING TO TRY LOCATE THE COWSILLS THEY GREW UP IN MASSILLON OHIO JUST LIKE 👍ME THANK FOR YOUR INPUTE
@@paul1242 the r/r hall is a joke. The Monkees and the Cowsills should both be there. Both bands were the counterculture to the counterculture. When was the last time a New York Dolls song was played on the radio?
Yes! Lulu did the ultimate fantastic version of this song thats been the gold standard for 50 plus years. Now Susan is belting it out of the park, so clear, so melodic, so inspiring! Those Cowsill kids are such a big part of American Music. wonder who is managing them?
Such an innocent time. When I was 10 living in Queens I met her oldest brother at our Appartment laundry and Bill sang Indian Lake and HAIR for me and my little brother! What a treat! Would love to met Susan. That was 1970ish
Susan sings with such emotion. Her voice is absolutely beautiful. You know how good it is when it grabs you down deep inside and you have to hear it over and over. Lovely and SO talented.
If anybody still looks at this, Susan Cowsill is an angel...We saw all of them ( except the man I named my son after) in a dive in the San Fernando Valley and my wife,who has problems, was having an episode...Susan talked her down....And, yes..Billy taught you well...Easily the best vocals I have heard in years....God bless you Susan
Before this I saw them do a contemporary, live rendition of "Hair" in which they included an extra verse. They don't just parrot 45-rpm singles, they must study the songs they perform and give their fans the rewards of their research.
Susan you sure do perform with heart. Wonderful voice, wonderful soul to keep your talent out here for folks to enjoy. God bless you for continuing to bring your family members back together in the present and honoring the memories of those that have gone too soon. The music was and still is outstanding. The Cowsills deserve a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony right now, and should have been there decades ago.
Art imitating life- Susan goes from bubbly kid singer to regal woman putting heart and soul into this music- written for her and all ducking girls growing up to be graceful swans.
I've never heard the Cowsill´s treatment of this song before. They do an excellent job. Excellent musicianship and of course Susanś singing is impeccable as always. She still has that little girl's energy and innocent demeanor. What a sweetie.
I have been a fan of this lady all my life, she has still got what it takes, a lot of younger people laugh at boomers but her talent puts them all to shame!
Let 'em laugh....we have The Beatles...Stones...Dylan...Hendrix...and yes...the Cowsills! They have Cardi B... L'il Wayne... and Drake....we're the ones who should be laughing!!! I know I am!
I'm listening to this in tears. I've followed the Cowsills, and have been a Cowsill loyalist since 1967, when I was 12 years old. They've just gotten better and better and better, and bigger in my heart over the years. I like this much better than the original by Lulu. Susan is just phenomenal as a person and a musician. And if you've never heard it-- listen to The Cowsills CD called "Global" from 1998! It's outstanding, stupendous, incredible and phenomenal--and reveals the talent of the Cowsills like you've never heard them!
I just watched the video of The Cowsills on Mike Douglas in 1970, Little Susan singing when I'm 64, And now watching this... Totally choked me up and have tears in my eyes. She is so good so beautiful and just so amazing! They all are, what a family!
I saw and spoke with Susan for a few moments March 19th in Austin, Texas at a SXSW music event. And she always will be a very special young lady to me. She is filled with goodness in her heart. You would see this I believe if you ever talked to her. When I see her, the best way to describe her is love, love, love. Just like her brothers. I miss her. I do so very much. Life is too short for me not to say that.
I have to come here sometimes to hear her sing this. I can't come very often because it is so emotional for me, this song, and her. It's because she is a very special person. I see a person with a heart of gold and when she sings, all the goodness you could ever imagine a person having shows from her.
A great sounding voice, and she sings the melody. So many women these days sing around the melody. Bending the note every which way. My two favorite female singers right now are Susan Cowsill, and Johnette Napolitano, from Concrete Blonde. Both incredible voices, and they sing the melody. Melody is important. It's what makes a song memorable.
Girl _ she knows she's specially touched. Must be a favorite song ? ...some of us are graduating elementary later with the teachers . Beautiful + endless . The gift of life

Susan is a very underrated singer..what a treasure she is
That for sure
You aren't KIDDING!!!!!!!! On BOTH points.
VERY underrated.
Susan not only sounds great she's freaking hot!
I've been crushing on Susan Cowsill since the ol' "The Rain, the Park and Other Things" Days. Not for nothing... This version of "To Sir With Love" gives me goosebumps! I didn't think anyone could top Lulu, but, well, there it is!
Get in line!
the way she sings that song brings a rush of more innocent times.
Susan Cowsill Can Sing!!!!! This is in the original key!! Wow!!!!
The Cowsills are the real deal. They've been doing this since they were kids! They should be in the R&R Hall Of Fame.....NOW!!!!!!!
I have seen alot of young ladies sing this song here. But, to me, this is by far, the best version sung by a very special young lady.
Yeppers!
I 100% AGREE!
Is it just me, or did it look like she was tearing up near the end? I don't know how people can sing such touching songs without doing it.
She obviously loved Lulu's original. Very faithful to the original vocal emphases. Excellent and very enjoyable rendition.
Absolutely!! VERY good
Such an underrated group... they should be in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame.
If Johnny Cash said they were the most talented family group you know that they must have (and are) the best.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame isn't worthy enough for talent like this.
YES THEY SHOULD I LIVE IN EUCLID I PROBABLY SHOULD ASK ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME IM 😅🤔😄🤣GOING TO TRY LOCATE THE COWSILLS THEY GREW UP IN MASSILLON OHIO JUST LIKE 👍ME THANK FOR YOUR INPUTE

A MILLION likes, that's how!
Thoroughly enjoyed this performance. Excellent!
72 year old hippy here.bmmthis set always brings me to tears. Peace
She killed it......great voice, great control and range..
Lulu did such a great job on this I didn't think I was going to really like this. Susan is truly great.
^^Exactly what I was thinking.^^
I agree lol
Very beautiful spiritual musician
Yes! Lulu did the ultimate fantastic version of this song thats been the gold standard for 50 plus years. Now Susan is belting it out of the park, so clear, so melodic, so inspiring! Those Cowsill kids are such a big part of American Music. wonder who is managing them?
i was just going to say the same thing but she really did do a good job
I loved her as a kid in the 60's...today I'm 64... and still love her! Such an amazing talent and she's only gotten more beautiful with age!
Yup !
❤
Such a great voice.. She hasn't lost a thing over the years!... She hit this one right on the head!
Wow great cover by a great band....many of them gone too soon. Love their sound......
She always had a great singing voice.
I've always loved this song, Susan really does it justice - great job!
One of the greatest songs in history and she delivered extraordinary well.
Susan is a great singer and cute to go with it love her.
Such an innocent time. When I was 10 living in Queens I met her oldest brother at our Appartment laundry and Bill sang Indian Lake and HAIR for me and my little brother! What a treat! Would love to met Susan. That was 1970ish
Wow, Susan really belted it out. Really enjoyed it! Well done! 👏👏👏👏
Susan sings with such emotion. Her voice is absolutely beautiful. You know how good it is when it grabs you down deep inside and you have to hear it over and over. Lovely and SO talented.
What a rare treat, this cover by Susan is excellent. Lulu would be proud. Love you Cowsills!
Thank you Susan for the great music and keeping the Cowsills alive for us fans!!!! You still sound fantastic!!!!
Susan Cowsill has really surprised me. I had no idea she had such a strong and beautiful voice!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
First time hearing her do this. LOVE IT! GO SUSAN! Love the Cowsills at 64!!
What a voice. Susan...still as cute as she was when she was younger.
you got that right!
Susan. So sublime!
Susan, you are just great!
An excellent cover of a great song. Susan nailed it and you can see the emotion in her face and hear it in her voice.
The Cowsill's deserve a lot more credit than is given by the critics.
When I saw this video, I saw the sweetest, most precious young lady I had ever seen or talked to in my life.
BRAVO BRAVO Susan 👏 🙌
Beautiful girl with a beautiful voice.
If anybody still looks at this, Susan Cowsill is an angel...We saw all of them ( except the man I named my son after) in a dive in the San Fernando Valley and my wife,who has problems, was having an episode...Susan talked her down....And, yes..Billy taught you well...Easily the best vocals I have heard in years....God bless you Susan
Susan, that performance was breathtaking.
Love that she added the rarely done extra verse. Great job! She still sounds "fab".
Before this I saw them do a contemporary, live rendition of "Hair" in which they included an extra verse. They don't just parrot 45-rpm singles, they must study the songs they perform and give their fans the rewards of their research.
Wow....Susan....just wow...
Susan you sure do perform with heart. Wonderful voice, wonderful soul to keep your talent out here for folks to enjoy.

she's 60 here..........pretty damn amazing!!!!!!

Wow, the emotion in which Susan sang this song give me goose bumps. Susan should have been a superstar!
Susan Cowsills is so amazing
Just a beautiful cover sung by a beautiful woman. They haven’t lost a smudge of their talent.
Great. Love how she stays true to the original melody.
Susan has always been an excellent singer. Really special lady.
This version is Very good special well done Susan 👍👏
Excellent cover. Well done.
This was special. So true to the original, yet Susan adds such an emotional layer to a classic. Can't say enough. Amazing.
The brothers are looking down from heaven so proud of Paul, Bob and Susan. I love The Cowsills 💜. Thank you for posting FabBeatGirl 🌻
Love this, love Susan!
Susan sounds and looks like she was really connected with the words and emotion of that song, not just "covering" it. She is so great.
I have been a fan of this lady all my life, she has still got what it takes, a lot of younger people laugh at boomers but her talent puts them all to shame!
Let 'em laugh....we have The Beatles...Stones...Dylan...Hendrix...and yes...the Cowsills! They have Cardi B... L'il Wayne... and Drake....we're the ones who should be laughing!!! I know I am!
Do they really laugh? Why? Boomers have the coolest music ever.
Great tune for her
Well said TBird!
@@annabellem.4014 You got it
Way to go Susan! You got this, great job! 💜
Wow.. what a great version! Thanks.
I dont think we give her the credit she deserves. She can really sing well on her own. Closest to Lulu I've heard.
So beautiful ❤
I am blown away. I knew she could sing but damn.
Great performance.
I love Susan Cowsill❤️she probably has one of the best voices in the whole wide world!
Didn’t think anyone could touch this song but Lulu! Wow!
Wow, Very good
I'm listening to this in tears. I've followed the Cowsills, and have been a Cowsill loyalist since 1967, when I was 12 years old.

I loved the Cowsills - she sure has a good strong voice - love to hear more.
I just watched the video of The Cowsills on Mike Douglas in 1970, Little Susan singing when I'm 64, And now watching this... Totally choked me up and have tears in my eyes. She is so good so beautiful and just so amazing! They all are, what a family!
Beautiful! Susan and her brothers are American treasures 💕
Wow!
Susan…. You crushed that song.
I saw and spoke with Susan for a few moments March 19th in Austin, Texas at a SXSW music event. And she always will be a very special young lady to me. She is filled with goodness in her heart. You would see this I believe if you ever talked to her. When I see her, the best way to describe her is love, love, love. Just like her brothers. I miss her. I do so very much.

She brought me to tears.
Amazing, amazing vocals from Susan. She totally nailed it !!!
Stunning, Susan!
You can still see that little girl in her. Great voice and that's not an easy song to sing.
Wow Susan that was fabulous!! Always enjoy your guys' videos❤️
I have to come here sometimes to hear her sing this. I can't come very often because it is so emotional for me, this song, and her. It's because she is a very special person. I see a person with a heart of gold and when she sings, all the goodness you could ever imagine a person having shows from her.
Wow - Susan nailed this song! ❤
The real deal. Raw and imperfect. That’s what makes it awesome No AI no autotune…. Man those were good days
Talented Family ❤❤
Outstanding! She has to have the best voice I have heard in a long time!!
A great sounding voice, and she sings the melody. So many women these days sing around the melody. Bending the note every which way.

Melody is important. It's what makes a song memorable.
@@onusgumboot5565 You nailed it. There's been no melody in music for over 25 years.
Wow! She can really sing!!!!
Such a talented band. Beautiful version as all of their songs are.
I have always loved this song. Your band does this song justice. wonderfully done.
No lip syncing here! Loved this performance!
I adore her version... so lovely.
God I love the Cowsills 🙌💚💜💙
Never gets old. Susan has a great voice.
Perfect song for them. Beautifully done. One of my all time favorites. Thanks Cowsills.
Girl _ she knows she's specially touched. Must be a favorite song ? ...some of us are graduating elementary later with the teachers . Beautiful + endless . The gift of life
This is just great. Susan, you did a great job!
Bang! Home run. Knocked it out of the park. The singing, the instruments, everything. Awesome!
🙋♀️❤ Really does it justice. Lovely Susan!
Awesome -Susan. You have a beautiful voice!
Beautiful...Brings tears to my eyes! I watched her left hand the whole time!
I’ve never thought anyone could do justice to this beautiful song as well as Lulu but Susan does an amazing job.
Sing it again, Susan... so beautiful...
Absolutely beautiful!
Best live version! Love you Susan.
very much underrated, a definite yes for the RnR HoF
Susan is such a natural. Amazing.
She still has a great voice.
And perfectly sung. I’m just astounded watching and hearing this.
