As a child I loved HR PuffNStuff. I had a freddie the flute I got from Kellogs from sending in box tops from Rice Krispies. I also had a Cowsills album where I fell in love with Susan. This video brought back sooooo many memories of childhood.
@@dreams2xs I did catch that in your original post. What's not fair is my mom didn't buy Rice Krispies. She bought Corn Flakes. I guess I can consider it my mom's fault I got shortchanged on Freddy. Can't feel too bad about it in retrospect, though. I did have a Pixanne wand!Edit: Completely forgot. I also had Happy the Clown marching sticks.
Seeing Jack and hearing him sing always brings a smile to my face even after all these years. Susan has an amazing voice herself!! Very impressive! Thank for the feel good video!!!
Sorry, just couldn't get into the Sid and Marty Kroft stuff, be it Pufinstuff, Lidsville, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, Bugaloos, whatever. But young Jack here really did shine in "Oliver!" My favorite tune from that film was "Consider Yourself."
@@chainamarie03 Not all of his life was tragic. He touched many, many people through his talent who remember him fondly and say he made them happy and when you measure life with a spiritual perspective of how many people we touch (instead how much money we make or how much property we have), then Jack Wild surely lived a successful one.
So sad how relatively young Jack Wild was when he died at age 53. I was shocked when I came across the news. He died as a result of oral cancer shortly before midnight on 1 March 2006 after suffering from it a long time. He had been unable to speak for two years prior to his death following surgery in which his vocal cords and part of his tongue were removed.
I recently watched the 1968 film "Oliver!" again and I'm always much taken with Jack Wild's wonderful (Oscar nominated) performance as the "Artful Dodger." It's even more amazing when you consider that young Jack Wild had no acting experience in his background when he was "discovered" - playing a game of soccer ("football") with a group of friends. R.I.P. Mr. Wild - thanks for all you gave.
He was a very natural talent but he was discovered years before Oliver!... He’d already done numerous gigs, the Oliver! stage musical, and was at “stage school” in London when he was cast in the film. From what I’ve gathered - from reading his memoir and from hearing/reading interviews with the cast - he was very naturally gifted and required very little coaching, directing, etc., and learned everything quickly. If you keep your eyes on him throughout the film you’ll notice he’s always, always in character, even when he’s lounging in the background of a scene. Obviously his struggles with alcohol were what destroyed his career (and life), but I also wonder if he’d’ve had more success if he’d worked with a proper coach to do different accents... He mentions in the memoir that he tried to learn to speak “middle-class,” but that all his personality went out the window without the his distinctive accent. He was only a kid at the time but I wonder if his agent/manager might’ve pushed him harder to do different regional accents - even an American accent, since he briefly moved to Hollywood for Pufnstuf - if he’d’ve had more post-Oliver! success in Britain, as the BBC uses a small pool of actors who’re expected to simulate many accents... Most significantly, an upper-class one. He was in a Beeb production in the ‘70s in which he played the son of a Lord and he toned down the Cockney but it was still quite noticeable (even to these American ears), and it detracted from the rest of his otherwise-excellent comedic performance. Apart from that series - “Keep It Up Downstairs” - he was only cast as Cockneys; I’m guessing more would’ve been available if he’d been able to get away from it. Though I suppose the alcohol would’ve got him anyway...
@@JackAShepherd I would have liked to have seen him become more Americanized and stared in teenage young adult films and TV shows through the 1970's and early 80's. is it possible that Jack might have had a condition that hindered his adolescents from child to adult? (Perhaps Kalman's Syndrome) He was so much older for the roles he played in. Also, he was short with soft skin.
@@davidbaldwin8390 I don't think so 'cause he wasn't abnormally small -- I think he was something like 5'7"? -- and never mentioned any abnormalities in his memoir... I think he was a late-bloomer. I remember in his memoir he spoke about not being remotely interested in girls till well after he was famous -- i.e., Age 16 -- and only started paying attention to his admirers once he was a bit older.
@@davidbaldwin8390 I didn't know Kallman's syndrome affected height, but you may be onto something, especially since he never became a father, despite being married twice. Then again Kallaman's syndrome has complete puberty arrest and his voice did 'break' eventually. It's possible the cigarette chain smoking was responsible too.
This is gold! More archival Jack Wild on TH-cam. Hope we get more as the years go on. He was on lots of variety shows in the 60’s and 70’s strutting his stuff.
OMG Susan and Jackie .............Wild! (Pardon the pun) . LOVE LOVE LOVE her........for decades now! So talented and to this day and her credit......she came through a SHIT STORM and does not get the respect and remembrance she so rightly deserves!
@Susana Sanchez I have seen your comments in other places. You really are a true fan. I am just like you. I have loved Jack Wild all my life. I sort of 'forgot' about it while in the throws of growing up but as of late, I have found myself returning to my love for this wonderful person. People like us should have some kind of a support group where we can discuss him and give each other support and even pray for Jack. He will love our prayers, I think.
Just great met Jack Wild many years ago and what a great talent and sad to end the way he did. Thankful for uploading it was great if you find the whole show can you upload.
@spectrumlocakb191 Thank You for sharing. Would love to hear more about your meeting with Jack Wild i.e what year it was and where and how you met him, and if at all you spoke to him. Would love to hear. Thank You
I adore adore this performance! I wish someone had the entire show Did someone else see a great potential in Barry's performance, like.. he always was a great performer and dancer, maybe Barry would've killed it in musical theatre!!!
Incredible!! A video of Susan Cowsill (and later those "pocket-picking" Cowsill guys) with the great Jack Wild. Wow! Susan, I am so impressed, you should be so proud. Susan you and Jack look alike if you don't mind me saying it, you two looked adorable. I love Bill's facial expression in the second song when Jack moves toward you (big brothers protecting you from Jack giving you that "kiss"). This is so super cool. I am a huge H.R. Pufnstuf fan (as well as a big Cowsill fan) and have all of the Pufnstuf DVDs, plus the movie which is a must-have with Mama Cass Elliott, Billy Barty, Martha Raye, and of course Jack and Bille Hayes. Earlier I bought all of the H.R.Pufnstuf episodes on VHS. At the time that was the only VHS of Pufnstuf at the video store, and while I was leaving the store a lady offered me twice what I paid for the Pufnstul VHS's if I would sell them to her. Back then, not a chance.
Wonderful observation. Neither Hollywood, nor the U.K saw him for who he really was. Unfortunately nepotism was big in those days, and many great opportunities, (such as the one you describe) were missed.
Jack Wild, sadly, was an alcoholic by age 18. He died a horrible death from mouth cancer, at age 53, which he fought for 6 years. Had both vocal cords removed , and part of his tongue. Tragic life ---Let's not even talk about what he probably suffered as a child star in the UK.
I remember seeing this when it aired originally. Thought they made a great pair. Have a bunch of Cowsill magazine clippings somewhere that includes Jack visiting the Cowsills at their home in California.
JEFFIE 2001 Susan actually did quite a few solos, leads and duets like this, aside from one on each album. Check out her appearance on the Dean Martin Show where she did a duet with Dean. She did one with her mother on Hugh Hefner's Playboy After Dark that was quite lovely. They sang Where is Love?, also from Oliver. There was the number she did with Buddy Ebsen on their special A Family Thing and on Mike Douglas took the solo lead on When I'm 64. Even short turns at Please Mr. Postman and All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth in medleys on Ed Sullivan. These are all available on TH-cam. I've been searching them out as they come up in my memory.
I am moved to tears when I think of him even now, but I know he feels my love, and similarly the love of all those who remember him. I'm sure it surprises him, and gives him joy.
@dianequelch3771 That's so nice to hear, especially the fact that Jack Wild was attending parties. What years were these? And were these the parties of mutual friends? Would be wonderful if you could share some memories.
If this part of of the show exists... where is the part with Barb singing Silver Bells and the boys singing the other Christmas tune (the title escapes me for the moment)?
According to his memoir he was not that into girls - he was clearly a late bloomer... I mean, he’s 17 here - and was really intimidated by the obscene attention and occasional stalking he received as a result of his “teen-idol” fame. His first real girlfriend was a former classmate, Gaynor Jones, whom he married super young, and by the time they divorced he was so in the throws of alcoholism he never cashed in on the fame, woman-wise. His memoirs mention one other on-and-off girlfriend prior to meeting his second wife, Claire, to whom he was married when he died. He’s so cute and so confident that I expected he’d’ve had lots of women in his life, but apparently not, and when you consider he seems to’ve had delayed puberty, I suppose it makes sense.
spectrumlocalb191 No drugs... Just obscene amounts of alcohol. He kicked it in 1989 but he was already whisper of his former self and looked about 9463839 years old, despite still being a young man.

Jack stayed sober the rest of his life but was diagnosed with oral cancer in 2000, had his tongue and larynx removed, swelled up from what I assume were steroids, and looked positively freakish before he died in 2006, at Age 53. Very sad, though he was happily married to his second wife, Claire, so he had companionship, if not his health.

@@JackAShepherd I could easily see stoners getting into Pufinstuff, it always struck me as a bizarre show. Makes you wonder what stuff Sid and Marty Kroft were puffing!😂😂😂
Actually never a pot head. Just smoked cigarettes and drank alcohol. Pufnstuf was a wonderful show and the wonder of Jack Wild sent Sid and Marty Kroft into orbit from where they were able to create lots of other shows.
Yup. Horrifying. He got sober in 1989 and was diagnosed in 2000 - died in 2006 at Age 53, looking like he was 153. Very, very sad, though at least he had a partner there with him (Claire, his second wife).
I wonder if the Cowsills ever thought about suing the Partridge Family tv show for it’s blatant rip-off of the family singing-right down to having Mom in the band!
Well how could they sue the partridge family? They were offered to do the tv show but Bud Cowsill turned the offer down when the producers said no to the cowsills matriarch playing the part and that they wanted Shirley Jones to play the mother . No one to blame but the monster that was their father .

You gotta love that he loved to sing, act and perform, and lived to do it. Love you forever, Jack Wild
I sure do miss entertainment like this. I realize the world changes, but this is certainly nice to come back to now and again.
I agree. It makes me feel like a kid just hearing Jack Wild and the Cowsills. At least it's only a click away today.

Love the English accent Susan used in the duo with Jack Wild. Very skillfully executed!
