This family is the show “The Partridge Family “is based on.
in fact, The Cowsills were supposed to be the stars of the show, but they wanted to cast someone else as their mom, so they turned it down.
Well, it's a shame that they missed that opportunity, but on the other hand that led to my childhood celebrity crush on Susan Dey.
The Cowsils are cool.
@@kylewoolsey6635 Join the club:)
Loosely based as there are a number of differences.
Thank you to the Cowsills for coming on your show and thank you guys for having them! Paul was right about all of us boomers out there that found them from day one and never let them go and will walk the miles to participate in their shows and music even today. Check out more of their music like, We Can Fly, Indian Lake, Poor Baby, well anything on any album is great! Thanks again you guys!
I’ve been suggesting this for two years because of Amber’s love of hippie music. It’s right up her alley.
This song was the best song of 1967 .. especially the summer of love ..
They are a terrific live band. The new album is FANTASTIC!
Paul, Bob and Susan are so authentic and personable. They are still performing because they obviously love one another. ❤❤❤ They lost their siblings way too early.😢
AWRIGHT!!! :) SO HAPPY to see THE COWSILLS!!! WOW!! I remember when HAIR came out: I was SO impressed with myself for knowing ALL THE WORDS!! THIS IS UNREAL!!! I thank them for being on here!! Amber was SO RIGHT!!! This song just sounds like SUNSHINE & HAPPINESS!!! THANKS to them being here, and Thanks to Jay and Amber for MAKIN' MY DAY (and, a LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE, TOO, I'm SURE!!!) HUGS!!
Jay & Amber, you’ll love their "Indian Lake"!!!
Oh yes! My favorite Cowsill song, they will love it indeed!👍✌️
Great song and an even better NY community. Have visited there for many years.
If you haven't seen it check them out doing it live in '68 in front of Vietnam troops. It's on TH-cam and it's awesome@@kennyhuskisson2684
I'm 71 and this song still makes me happy when I hear it!
Me too! 71 next month.. & the song still puts a smile 😊 on my face also!
I'm 67, I agree
The live version of their hit "Indian Lake" in front of a military audience features their beloved mom, Barbara, welcoming home their son/brother Dick.
Yes that was a great video. I really enjoyed it. One of their best videos.
RIP Barry, Billy & Barbara.
And don't forget Richard
@carolcantoni6694 as well as forgotten brother Richard.
OMG! My first concert was The Cowsills! I wore their records out! I never thought I would see them again! What a delight!!!
Love the Cowsills!! This song NEVER gets old
I ❤ this song & The Cowsills!!
This was incredible. I was 11 yo. I had a GE phonograph that played 16/33/45 rpm with a plastic tone arm. A Single One 1/2" speaker. I had this 45, "The Rain, The Park, and Other Things". I played it hundreds of times, such innocence, loveliness. This brought a tear to me, on my 68th birthday month.
Happy Birthday 🎂
Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉
16? That's interesting, I've never seen a record player from back then with that speed... The ones I played my records on were all 33, 45 and 78.
@@oldiesgeek454 16 rpm was mainly used for voice recordings. Kind of like books-on-tape. I only used them in school.
@@bbollig9288 16 was also the cardboard records with the vinyl grooves
The Happy Together tour has the best songs and performers of the 60's and 70's. The Rain the Park is still one of my favorite songs. Love the harmonies! Love Susan. :)
I love the Cowsills. How cool having the Cowsills on. Hair is my favorite. Best era of music.
Drummer John Cowsill was 11 in that video. He now plays drums for The Beach Boys.
He was fired some time ago.
My absolute favorite song when i was a little girl...I always made my uncle play this when we were out on the boat❤
It's funny the rain the park and other things they showed the guy on the left Paul is missing off that live performance for some reason.
@@duckbrew - Paul joined the band after that performance.
I've never heard this live version. I love it. Also big props to RSR for getting the Cowsills for a You Tube interview. What a great get!
How can you not Love this group. Great job guys I Luv these.....There so laid back. Thanks
I just love this song! Takes me back to youth & freedom. Oh the days gone by!
The best Sunshine Pop song ever recorded. It just Feels So Good. Great drumming.
Did you know... the Partridge Family ( Musical group with a Mother and her kids ) were created after the Cowsills? ...Partridge Family mimics the Cowsill family but as a TV show!
The show does not mimic the Cowsills. It is loosely based. A number of differences: # of kids, the genders, the manager was Reuben instead of the Cowsill's father (the father had passed away in the TV show), etc
Also the TV people wanted to REPLACE THEIR MOTHER for the show
I cannot express my excitement to see Susan, Bob, and Paul as your guests. They are big part of my childhood, including as a young boy crushing on Susan. Also, as a kid, I watched the Partridge Family that was based on the Cowsills as a family band. When hearing of Barry's death during hurricane Katrina was so heartbreaking. Next time they are in NOLA, I'm going to do my best to see them. Now, I'm going to have this stuck in my head for the rest of the day. LOL
It's called the Happy Together Tour because it is named after a huge hit by The Turtles who are the headliners on the tour which has happened every year for the last 14 years. The Cowsills have been the opening act for many years now.. Fun Fact: The drummer in the video is their brother, John Cowsill, who until recently was a member of The Beach Boys for over 20 years eventually becoming their drummer. He is married to Vicki Peterson from The Bangles who you have reacted to multiple times.
Saw them 07/12/2024 in Paso Robles. It was a great show.
The Cowsills are so right. Back then it was huge to play The Ed Sullivan Show. You know you have really made a mark by performing there and even better if you were asked back. The Cowsills are one of my favorite groups from that time growing up in the 60s/70s, and with some of the most beautiful harmonies to ever hit the airwaves.
They have always been under rated. They are so talented. I like watching performances by them on YT as they got older. Sound the same as when they were younger.
I loved listening to the Cowsill’s songs playing on the radio as a kid, I wish that I could have seen them in concert
here we are in 2024 and I am still crushing on Susan Cowsill :)
Me too!
Absolutely love the Cowsills. So glad you finally are giving them a listen and getting their backstory.
The harmony is SO good - I grew up listening to these guys!
They also sang the theme song for a hit tv show back in the day, “ Love, American Style”👏🏻👍🏻
I love love love the Cowsills I've seen them many times and their harmonies always send chills up my spine they are so fun and gracious always giving of time to talk and take pictures and just make fans feel loved back!!
They are one class and talented group. They have maintained the high level of talent and through the pain of a dysfunctional family continued. with so much loss.
One day while we were walking back to my late friend's house, I started singing this, high notes and all. He told me this was one of his all-time favorite songs. Mine too! So, every time I hear this song, I think of him. So cool that you were able to get an interview with some of the original performers. They look great!
Wow!!! A live performance. Pretty good live band.
It should be noted that Artie Kornfeld was one of the four co-organizers of The Woodstock Festival.
Best reaction video EVER! Thank you Amber and Jay So happy for you guys that Susan, Bob and Paul know who you are and are as thrilled with you guys as we are!
The Cowsills family seems like the coolest people on earth. So kind and humble.
I remember all their songs, they were so good…loved the Cowsills! 👍👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Jay and Amber I loved this I love The Cowsills. They have many great songs I love the harmonizing. I have their albums. I hope you do more with them. I'm a big fan.
Thank you, Cowsills, for coming on to the show! What wonderful and fun memories for we baby boomers! As always, Amber and Jay, thank you, too, for inviting them. They are wonderful to see and hear!! Would love to go to their concert!
Absolutely outstanding! Loved Indian Lake! Really feel good music!
I had a crush on Susan when I was like 7yrs. old. I think she's about 2 yrs older than me. She was the older woman I could never have, LOL. She is still beautiful.
So cool, you're interacting with the Artists. Love this song. Great singing family.
Love the Cowsills!!! An awesome live performance, but you HAVE to check out the studio version. It is a masterpiece of studio magic.
I've watched quite a few of the videos of the young Cowsills live and they were always amazing. John was/is such a talented drummer!
I've seen him with the Mike Love Beach Boys and his vocals were great also.
Nice. I've always had a soft spot for The Cowsills. Reminds me of summertime in the late 60's
I loved this song so much as a young child. And now I love it even more to learn the naming backstory!
The Cowsills were awesome
I love the joy and happiness of this performance. The Cowsills seem like great people. Thank you for having them on, and thank you for your reaction.
They were nice people! I met them when I was a kid and Bill Cowsill actually took the time to write me a letter. He told me I was very mature for 13 1/2 which is hysterical to think about now 😂
@@pttp5509 What a great story. Thank you for sharing.
The music hid darkness, the father was abusive. I do agree that Billy Cowsill was a great guy, but he did have demons. He had the voice of an angel, I was privileged to hear him sing many times live here in Calgary. Check out "the Blue Shadows" that was his band then.
Can't get enough of the Cowsills. I was 15, and listened to hippie counter culture music all the time. My parents hated most of the music I played but we could all agree that The Cowsills were a fun band that we could all listen to together. As good now as it ever was.
Thank you for having the Cowsills on and especially this song. I love this group! (Go Red Sox!)
Thanks Jay and Amber! This is a special song I share with my eldest grandchild, who has a flower girl if her own now. It was so cool to meet the Cowsills! You are all such beautiful people and it was nice to see them perform back when. Please check out the studio cut when you get a chance, you’ll be glad you did. God bless.
I saw the Happy Together show a few years ago It was a night of great music and great memories. The Cowsills were awesome ! If you like the music from the 60's and early 70's, it's a must see
One time? We've been waiting for you to return.
I’ve loved Susan since the moment I saw her when I was a little boy
incredible how the Cowsills are still performing so many concert dates and venues
The Happy Together tour is so much fun! Thank you to the Cowsills for letting all us boomers continue to celebrate what were some of the best times of our lives. We love you!
I want to give this a thousand "likes"! What an awesome interview, they're still fantastic after all these years!
Ah, The Summer of Love! I was a young teen when The Cowsills did this song on the Ed Sullivan Show. It's great to see and hear them. Thanks J and Amber.
I live in Calgary Canada. We were blessed to have Billy Cowsill living here during his final days. He had a great band called The Co-Dependants. They were awesome. Even though Billy's health problems were starting to affect him they still sounded amazing. There are a few TH-cam vids of them out there. RIP Billy Cowsill
Every kid in my generation knew this song! Love the Cowsills. Real pop.
Wow. That was live on Ed Sullivan?!
@@muggchumthey were very talented as kids.
This was the best interview ever for me... The Cowsills were my musical heroes of the 1960s and my favorite group... The partridge family TV show was based on this family band... I wish they would have told you that story... It's a great story... I'm glad you got to hear that song and to talk to the actual cowsills themselves... I am a happy old dude right now... If they come anywhere near where you live you should go see them... They put on a great show and it's well worth the trip... Great show, guys...Keep Being Awesome !!!...
Awesome! Love The Cowsills!
I saw The Cowsills in Clearwater, Fl a few year ago! They sound as good as when I was a kid! Susan was a definite crush! People forget they also sang the theme to Love American Style. Check out Indian Lake when you get a chance
Love the Cowsills always and forever! 🥰John, the drummer was only 11 when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan show in 1967!
My favorite family band. I always wanted to be a Cowsill. They are so awesome.
The Cowsills is a cool band this and Hair song are my favorites that I can think off the top of my head. They are family it's crazy to have the whole family in the band
I've always loved the Cowsills, and I'm now 70 years old. I had their albums and wore them out. They absolutely did put a smile on my face!
The 60's was one of the best decades for music there was just so much talent back then and so many hits you can't even compare today's music to back then. I have all the Billboards 100 hits and I have every year and there is just so many greats that came out in the 1960's.
When my sister was in college the Cowsills were playing at the college. There was a basketball before the show and my sister was at the game. She said to her friend " do you think they'll sing moo . Someone tapped her on the shoulder and said "Thanks Alot ". The whole Cowsill was sitting right behind them ! They all had a great time at the game & concert !
Love it! I remember when Susan was a little girl and the group would be on tv specials. She was an awesome dancer as a young girl! 😁
I always loved this song and the Cowsills. Don't forget their hit, INDIAN LAKE
So great to see the Cowsills!
You're going to love going to the Happy Together tour. A few different performers from that era still touring. I had the pleasure of listening to them at a venue called Penns Peak in PA.
One of my favorite Cowsills songs is Love American Style
You should also listen to the studio version. The orchestrations are incredible on that. I was 10 when this was released. I thought it was amazing that their mother & Susan were singing with them. A real family band.
I've loved them since 1967. Had posters on my wall. I missed them when they kind of went off the radar in the early 70s. During Covid I was googling them to see what happened and oh boy, there they were! So much music I had missed and now I have the documentary, their new album, and cds that Bill did in his Canada years. The one good thing that happened during Covid ! Love them so much ... those harmonies are heavenly.
I saw them with the Happy Together Tour a few yeas ago an they were so good. 🎶🙂🎶
That was awesome!! 🥰
Thank you so much for bringing back happy memories! The Cowsills were my first concert at 11 years old! I loved them and John was my favorite. Thanks again. Now I'm feeling happy 😊
Susan Cowsill rocks.
As a kid who grew up with watching 'The Patridge Family', it was great to see the real family music group they were based on! Thanks for this interview!
No way! One of my favorite songs of that day. Can't believe you've got them here!
What a wonderful thing, being able to talk to The Cowsills...it really is such a dream for so many fans of their music:)
Look how cute the sister is with her tamborine!! Yall still sound great too !!🎉🎉🎉❤
There is no more nostalgic song than this every time I here it I feel like I am 12 again, It's too bad they all cant all be with us but Susan Paul and Bob look great!
Thanks 4 the memories 😊❤✌️
Since I was one of the many people to suggest this song both before you listened to "Hair", as well as in the comments after you did react to that great song, I am taking all of the credit for the two of you being introduced to The Cowsills! This reaction, with your awesome guests is absolutely one of my favourite music video reactions of all time from any reactors!! Thank you so much, everyone!!!!!!!!!!! Love you guys, love this song, love the band!!
So if you were one of many people, why are you taking all of the credit?
The Cowsills rocked my world. I was tuned into their music as a 7-year old (1967) and haven’t left. The 60s was an era like no other and much of the music spawned within is timeless. ‘The Rain, the Park and Other Things’ is one of those. Imaginary or real, its story immediately creates a visual, and one that i continue to see today. The harmonies are also incomparable. It’s a song that immediately brings back memories of my youth. Finally got to meet Bob, Paul and Susan at their show in Vegas in 2023 and it definitely completed a circle for me. They are part of my life’s DNA.
The Cowsills are crazy talented.
I saw the Cowsills at a show in my home town. Once a year a radio station put on a show with a lot of the oldies as this. The Cowsill's vocals were unreal. They are right about music to put a smile on your face.
For a rock fan like myself, this was a guilty pleasure when it came out. Loved the song. Great story & awesome to see the band. ✌️❤️🎶
I remember as a kid seeing them in person at the Heart of Illinois Fair. I still remember Barry doing his rendition of Mick Jagger singing Honkey Tonk Women. It was great!
I'm Susan's age, i grew up listening to them, and i've loved this song my whole life, then a couple of years ago we got tickets to the Happy Together Tour in Waukegan,IL, we got 3rd row and i smiled through the whole show, i saw Bob walking around the audience before the show and i was star struck LOL, love this you both having them on 😊💜
Love that you had the Cowsills on. Being a boomer, I grew up listening to them and even saw that Ed Sullivan performance at the time on our 13 inch black and white TV. I’m glad they are still performing and unlike some other acts, they still sound great. Have to catch a concert soon.
The Cowsills are the greatest! I'm addition to their excellent work in the family band, Susan, Barry and Billy also did some fine solo albums. Susan is a member of a wonderful band called the Continental Drifters which still performs periodically. Check out the excellent documentary about the Cowsills. Their manager father was abusive and basically destroyed the band, but they overcame it all through their love for each other and their love of music. Incredible people!
I fell in love with the studio version of this song when it came out, and have replayed it over the decades, and it is pure sunshine. But after I saw the band as older people playing the hell out of it...that became my go-to version...which I have suggested to other reviewers, like Mr. Shawn, who loved both versions, as well as the Polyphonic Spree. I hope they come to Charlotte, where the song was voted #1, beating even hometown James Taylor's Fire and Rain. Flower girl...meet Flower girl. Beautiful garden.
Jay and Amber, I urge you to listen to the recording of this song. This live version is very nice, but unbalanced. When they fall into their harmonies, it's magic. You'll notice, siblings tend to sound incredible when they harmonize.
I couldn’t agree with you more. This live version doesn’t do the song justice. I’ve suggested this song for some time and to my surprise the Cowsills actually came on the show as well. 😊
This version doesn't match the gorgeous original.
Yes, agreed!!!
I've been waiting forever for you to do this one, Amber the flower 🌼 girl will love it ❤️ Peace and love❤ Gary the 70 year old forever hippie😊
Been hoping for a Cowsills reaction for a long time. Back then all of the many popular bands and hits were all unique
and the Cowsills were unique, They had their own sweet sound like nobody else, Having the Cowsills on your show is really, really awesome! I really dig their newer song called 'Nuclear Winter'' check it out. that song has a 1970.s flavor all over again.
