Susan Cowsill has real charisma, a natural she is. and a survivor.
Why she's a survivor? I'm learning about the cowsills I recently met about the band
@@aperezto their father was abusive.
Sie hat mehr Charisma als Pieter Holsapple, das stimmt!
@@aperezto You're recently attempting to learn English too?
@@helmutsecke3529 why? 😄
I remember seeing the Cowsills back in December of 1967 at the Bushnell Theater
in Hartford, Connecticut, along with a local group called the Wild Weeds. I was
12 years old and I think Susan was all of 8 years old. She was as cute as a button.
The whole audience admired Susan. They were a talented family. I loved that
concert! It made so happy, happy, happy! 🙂
Wonderful!
The Cowsills are one of the greatest groups ever.
Truth.
??
@@louisepalanker Louise, i would have never guessed I would call the "Cowsills" a mega group when this all started for me , but thanks (to you largely), i love enough of there songs now I can give them that distinction..
@@brian4605 Wow. High praise!
didn't realize the NOLA connection - I will never forget that little girl playing that tambourine on Ed Sullivan - enjoyed this very much!
A true talent.
So many musicians are faking it. She’s the real thing who obviously shares the music gene with her brothers. A candle in a bleak and dark world.
Yes, she is.
I absolutely love this family… resilience and honesty combined with their passion for music and each other. Decency matters 🤗
It's good to have Susan cowsill in the World !
It sure is!
Yes it is
Would suck not to have her.
Yes, it's a very good thing. ☺️
Cowsills were in charts when Beatles ruled the charts,that something all in itself!
Yes!
I'm sitting here crying like a baby because I know she and Barry truly wrote this together. Souls never stop existing, man. They just exist in different ways.
I absolutely agree.
I got really close to my brother as an adult who was also in the music industry, he passed during hurricane katrina as well. So even as I grew up with this girl and now I also have this in common with her.
if he was dead they did not contribute together G
So true, all my deceased relatives meet me in my dreams..they are always with you💓💞💕
I love that song.
I hope that someday I get to hear Susan Cowsill in person. Her voice just soars and her love of playing music makes everyone happy, happy, happy!
A beautiful voice she has and a real talent, thanks for posting.
This woman doesn’t get enough credit for her talent. It’s too bad some seem to hold it against her that she was part of a family band 48 years ago. And others in that group also had some real talent too.
Absolutely.
Why would anyone hold it against her for being in a band?
@@chainamarie03 Because they were bubblegum, a "kid band", etc. You know, the Cooler-Than-Thou" crowd.
@@secondcomingofbast9908 That's like holding it against Michael Jackson or many others for singing with a family band when starting out. But I do understand that 'cooler than tho' mindset.
Look at wonderful songs Billy recorded....of course he had to go to Canada.
@@secondcomingofbast9908 I have always enjoyed the happiness of "bubblegum" music...catchy, fun, always made me feel good to hear it. Not looking for anything profound. That has it's place, too.
Just good time music. "The Rain, the Park, and Other Things", "Indian Lake", etc. I loved them all. Always ready to hear them again. Thank you, Susan...and your family.
I've been watching this band since the '60s until they broke.up. if you got more publicity this song ,around the bend ,would be a monstrous. Hit.The courage it took to talk about her brother and then to sing the song. Susan Castle is unlimited in her talent. I've seen her interact with Dean Martin when she was a child and did it better than any actress ever could. Check out her and two of her brothers singing Indian lake on the Mike huckleby show, sounds like a studio recording, where is your publicist get this song on the air.
True story: couple years ago I got my brother to go with to see the Happy Together Tour at Grand Casino Mille Lacs in Minnesota. It was great fun seeing and listening to all the entertainers. Afterwards we were going to go up to the room and relax before going back down to the machines. As we got on the elevator, a young couple got on and the doors started to close. I saw someone coming so as usual I stuck my hand back out of the doors to get them to open again. It was a gal with a baseball cap on. She got on and the doors closed. A few seconds went by when like a little 12 year old boy with a crush, I heard my brother say, "It's Susie Cowsill!". She didn't acknowledge, but he was thrilled..(he was about 60 then).. Yeah, he still gets kidded about that....oh and thank you Susie for making his day!
Haha! Great story!
R I P Barry ! Susan you are a good loyal sister to your brother !
Susan has been my friend since school in the early to mid 70's. I wish I knew how to be as positive and happy. She truly is a beautiful person.
Too bad her father was a creep and took her innocense.
@@betsybean4054 ❗😮❓
James California You don’t know the story ?
Thanks so much for your kind words about Susan, I feel very much the same about her..!!
Dear Susan, thank you for this song. It is good medicine for the soul.
Susan is such a beautiful musician and I know Barry is with her even doing this with her.
Susan, you and Colin Hay would reach the mountain top if the two of you went into the studio with this beautiful song.
A proper musician. Nice guitar too 😎 🎸 🎵
For sure.
Death ! I used to be afraid of it until one day I mentioned my fear to my father .After I told him my thoughts he explained to me how Death probably isn't any worse than anything else we go through . He said when we are born and are being delivered we cry and scream because we can't believe any place could be better than were we are at that moment . Then as we go through life we get to thinking this is great ,can't be any place better than this . So.....it only strands to reason that death will more than likely be the same way . After we get there we will wonder what all the worrying and crying was all about ,because this place is GREAT ! ! ! !
I love that, David. Tell your Dad I said thank you for the wisdom!
@@louisepalanker Thank you ma'am , my father will appreciate your kind words .
@@louisepalanker Just thought I would let you know ,its been 3 months since I told how my father calmed my fears and sadly today we found out that his days are very short on this earth . When I went in to see him he spent the time comforting and reassuring me . Take care and God Bless ,David M.
@@davidmartin1949 Well, that sounds just like him, doesn't it? God Bless both of you.
@@louisepalanker please turn to the Lord Jesus, he s what you need to enter the next world of eternity.believe on him and that he was crucified died was raised again on the third day and is coming soon
Susan has a fantastic voice which I just happened to discover a few years ago. I just love to listen to her sing. The lyrics and the melody combined with her voice are magic.
Absolutely!
I love the flower girl...
And she loves you...
A month ago, I went to the Happy Together tour by myself, asking “who to hell are the Cowsills?” I’ve learned a ton since then and have become a new fan of the group, and of Sue. This is a great story and song!
Wonderful Susan ! Thank You . Your brothers and mother are so proud of you. Until you join them , please stick around and keep us entertained. Thank you again.
Bereavement is so difficult, but if it's any consolation I think your brother (R.I.P.) was there with you...at exactly 1:30 when you started talking about him, I heard the wind come up and tickle the wind chimes, as if him saying thanks for remembering me sis, great tune! My condolences for your loss, my Mom passed away the same year as Barry, she sent me a dream to let me know she was okay a year later. I had a lot of guilt because I was living 3000 miles away in California and could not make it back in time. She was greatly weakened by lung and bone cancer and fell down and could not get up. She called for my Dad to help her but he did not come right away. In the dream I could read her thoughts and she was thinking along the lines of am I going to die now?, woe is me and so on. Then her thoughts changed and she was thinking something like well...I've lived a full life, if this is the end so be it...really brave. She then reached out to God thru prayer and he came to her and she rose up.
I wanted to see exactly what happened next, maybe get a glimpse of the pearly gates but there was this annoying music box
getting louder and louder. The tune was "Somewhere My Love", Laura's theme from Doctor Zhivago which she liked to sing to me when I was a baby...Marky's song she always called it. It woke me up, but it turns out it was also part of the dream...the lyrics it was playing as it woke me were "Someday we'll meet again my love, someday whenever the spring breaks through"
It was her way of saying she was okay just as "Round The Bend" was for you from your brother. I am sending you a tune called
"Peaceful Mind" from Borrtex to make you feel better. It's coincidentally 1:30 in length also so hope you enjoy it!
If you want to talk some more about this subject please don't hesitate to reach out. First check out the tune Truly, Truly by Grant Lee Buffalo. My thoughts are on the second verse... "It's just been too long since we set aside some time alone, I sure could use your point of view! And it's been awhile since we dropped our guard and cracked a smile, don't you think it's overdue? Well how about you?" Best wishes, Mark
Oh, so beautiful. I love it and thank you for sharing, Mark!
Love, love, love Susan Cowsill.
You are an Empath !!! Thank you so much !!
Talent subsides within, we might try to suppress along our way or share our soul with many . Great to hear Susan singing and performing still..
I cannot even put into words how deeply I felt this song. I know it's a message from an adored brother to his sweet little sister, but it is so fitting for those of us who have lost somebody much too soon.
Susan, thank you for listening with your heart instead of your ears on this one.
💜
Awe!
I love the song. She's got a great voice!
We all love Susan
i lost my brother because of Katrina, too. Sorry for your loss. i see him in my dreams, too.
Oh, I am very sorry to hear that.
Nice song, interesting story, inspiration came from beyond, that is wonderful. God Bless
God bless you!
Beautiful song
Heaven sent beautiful channeled song.You can see how much susan looked up to Barry. Susan seems to be the nurturing mom figure for her brothers. Cowsills keep on making music we love it

Susan Cowsills is so gifted and Russ is an amazing drummer
Absolutely.
She s going to be at Calvin Theatre again this summer ..yay ! I love this musician
Great song . Great voice. ❤👍
I remember watching the Cowsills on TV in 1967, I was 8 years old. My big sister said, look that little girl is your age. From that moment on I had a crush on Susan... 😊
A great story and song! Thanks for sharing, Louise!
Happy to!
This is the song I was looking for! So so beautiful. They must have been really tight. God, why isn't this lady more popular?
+cynthia pumphrey I've been saying that for years. She is so deserving of bigger success. We love her!
I absolutely LOVE this song. Thank You Susan for telling the story how the song came to be. I totally Get It..as I get visits from my Loved ones on the other side only in my dreams! You have a treasure here and now I have it. And thank you Louise for posting!
My first concert that I ever attended was the Cowsills.I went with my little brother who has also passed away.I heard the song We can fly the other day by the Cowsills and was thinking of him
Oh, that is very touching.
Oh my gosh! This brought a tear to my eye. She loved her brother so. 😭❤️
This song brought me to a realization... Once we're on the other side, we won't have one single solitary regret for anything . How about that.. Thanks Susan and Barry Cowsill ;-)
I love it!
BEAUTIFUL
My brother and only sibling died three years ago from gastric cancer at age 42. He visits me in dreams, too.
I am so sorry for your loss. But I believe you.
I'm speechless. And crying. I hope Susan has found someone to lift her up as much as she has lifted me.
MrSteve280 Awe.
Susan is just too cool!
She is.
Since 1967 I have loved watching and listening to Susan perform. I got to see her live in 1968, with her family. She has such a sweet voice and personality. Talked to her and Barry at Disneyland in 1968. So cool. Would ofbeen a great little sister. I was 15 at the time. Thanks Louise for bringing the Cowsill videos to us. I did catch a performance of their 2017 tour. Really cool for us Cowsills fans. Youmust be a true fan as well.
Yes. I made a film about them. See the info above for the link.
Why did they not get to be The Partridge Family- when it was actually The Cowsill's?
The Partridge Family was based on the Cowsills
@@louisepalanker I watched it last night Louise, very good.
@@waynegreene6405 Oh, thank you.
Beautiful song and introspective lyrics... put tears in my eyes. If you've lost anyone, this song will resonate with you. The sprightly music makes it ALL about continuing...
Susan has always been my idol.❤❤❤❤
Very Barry indeed. NIce to hear this, thanks for posting it. I miss happy music!
Lovely voice, pretty song, and Susan is always so pretty. Always loved that group.
Wow,.. Beautiful song Susan.. Made me cry.
I'm tearing up, God bless this family!!
A beautiful and charismatic woman, as well as talented.
You're the real deal Susan. You and your siblings compensated more than you should have had to. I'm sorry for that. Why do bad things happen to good people? I don't know either but look for the good that sprouts from it, otherwise the suffering is for nothing. Keep sprite, you're the light for those around you. Love watching you sing in the youtube videos when you were little. God bless you.
Sincerely
Love this . Thank you , Susan .
Truly an American Icon, she is so awesome and admired by millions !
Yes!
Love this
I never tire of this awes musician !
Lovely & Amazing
Wow.........a big part of American culture and musical history......thank you cowsills .......so much....so much.......jimmy.
This is the first time hearing her since she was a kid. It's funny hearing the little girl from so long ago curse lol.
Love the story and the song.
No Susan. You are not batshit.
What a beautiful song. The entire family is/was so talented, from Billy right on down the line to Susan. If you close your eyes you can imagine Barry with her as the song was written. ❤️❤️
Yes, you can.
The Cowsills were the second live concert I went to, it was 1968. I lived in Warwick RI and saw them at Rocky Point Amusement Park. It was a show that really was well done.
Wow… this song is so good… really enjoyed… this is natural talent, her voice with just a guitar & drums…. Whaaat?!?? Terrific lyrics, saved to playlist so I can come back and listen to it again and again 😊
love it - thanks - I've known about Susan all of my life because I grew up in Middletown. Today is actually the first time I can say that I LIKE like her. I always liked her and there was the teenage crush deal but now I really like her if that makes crazy sense.
I totally get it. You go through that whole "was it a crush or is she actually really good?!"
A very talented and beautiful young woman........I'm glad I stopped in!
Just found this, what an amazing song. Just beautiful
i totally believe that! most folks dont get it! very spiritual.
Agreed!
I love this song. And, I totally believe your experience happened. Glad to have stumbled across this.
RIP Barry ! Susan s tribute to Barry her brother is so sweet! She really loved her brother ! She has such a pretty sweet voice and is a kind caring loving woman !
Absolutely.
What a wonderful personality!
and voice!
Absolutely!
This song always brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful, Susan.
My grandfather, and one other dear departed friend pay me visits from time to time as I sleep. I always wake up feeling so good. Great song, Susan. Very nice.
You made me cry.
Great voice, great story. R.I.P. Barry.
When that gust of wind came and all the papers went everywhere that was Barry thats how she was able to write the rest of that song. He aloud her that and thats beautiful !! Susan is so talented. Shes very folksy.
That sure was special, thank you!
How very sweet and beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing this.....
You are very welcome.
I can not say how much I love this.
Oh, that is awesome.
the girl of my dreams when i was 9 years old in 1973. she lived in my bedroom on the walls, every single picture from ll the teen magazines and news paper clippings until the farrah fawcett poster came out. of course i still have the greatest hits of the cowsills on cd and mp3
This is one of the best songs I have ever heard!! Why isn't it in a single??? It moved me, made me tap my feet, listen to the melody, listen to the voice, it bounces, it bounces from there to all the way there! thank you Susan. You are so beautiful! a twinkling star. Awesome!
I believe that Susan has just recorded the song so it should be out soon!
That's a very cool song. I believe her.
Same!
I love this story and song. Met Susan and Barry in Topsfield, Ma in 1971, she was only 12. I know it was written for Barry (my crush, along with a million others) but l think of my middle son who l lost 3 years ago. Thank you Susan, wish l still had the pic l took with you. Coincidentally, my brother, who is a drummer met Barry several times at different venues, l think during the 80's. Hoping to see you all this summer when you play my hometown, Lynn, Ma. Love ya!
Very touching, Kathy.
Just saw Susan and the family in Vegas last weekend and THAT completed a life circle for me. Have loved the Cowsills since the late 60s and I fell hard for you all. This is the first I have heard THIS song; it is wonderful and the lyrics are beautiful. Thank you Susan, Russ (and Barry!) for continuing to spread Cowsills joy.
Wonderful!
She is one of the few people her age who can say "cool" in a cool way!
+babalooey100 absolutely
I didn't discover the cowsills til a month ago. They weren't heard if in the UK in the 60s, when I was right into my music. It's never too late though. I like the band and I love how Susan has " survived" and her voice is so lovely..
Awesome talent, still making a difference in people's lives. Wish I could meet Susan in person.
go to new orleANS sometime---she has a band and that is where she is based
Susan Cowsill and I are the same age and I remember having a little kid crush on her because she was so unusually cute and beautiful to me as a child. I do not remember what telly show that The Cowsills were performing on but I always fancied myself belonging to her family where everyone was happy and there were no drugs, alcohol or smoker people which is what I called people who smoke cigarettes or cigars or pipes. Always hated people who smoked. Oh well. We all like to place our heroes and stars on a pedestal so we can believe that we can achieve their level of stability and happiness.
That is the beautiful irony of envy, isn't it? We don't really know if what we seek is actually better than what we have. The Cowsills looked and sounded spectacular but they struggled like every family.
@@louisepalanker This is so true.
Love you Susan, I was always attracted to your group with your Mom, brothers, and you ofcourse. You all were born to be musical, unbelievable ears and vocals. Hoping to see you one day..Love, Ronnie.
i have always loved her since i was a kid shes only 2 yrs younger than me but i have followed her forever and never met her
I love her voice...so sweet....
Want to listen over and over. This is such a great song!
It really is! I think she is recording it for her next album.
Sure hope so. I'm rediscovering the Cowsills from my childhood. Had no idea Susan was such a great musician all these years later. The music is real. Her cover of "Don't Worry Baby" is amazing. Never thought anyone could do it better than the Beach Boys but she has given them a run for the top tier.
Oh, her version is absolutely thrilling.
Wow..that is a great song!! Susan and Barry make a fine writing team!
