These Three Cowsills are the best family Harmony band bar none. What a blessing to be able to enjoy this remarkable talent. Bob, Paul and Susan can sure lift one’s Spirits. Susan makes my heart beat faster.
The tunes of my childhood 🎶💜🌞 I love the Cowsills ! I’ve got the privilege of seeing them perform twice with the “The Happy Together” tour at The Indiana State Fair ! 🎡🎠
Throughout all their years together & family experiences, The Cowsills have to be recognized, admired & completely appreciated for still doing what they're doing. I've been a fan since the 60's & was fortunate to see them 2 years ago in Tarrytown NY. Watching them like this warms my heart so much. Something tells me they're loving their togetherness more now than ever before. Long live The Cowsills !
The Cowsills. Is there anyyyyyone enjoying what they are doing more than them ??? They are having a great REBIRTH and ENJOYING IT FULLY. LOVE THE OLDIES ☺👍
you prolly dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the new movies on Instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my gf these days =)
I've been in the music industry for almost 30 years and the Cowsills are one of the few on my bucket list. (I've been to or worked about 10.000 concerts) Being a body guard I've had the chance to work almost every indoor and outdoor venue in New England. In June I will finally get to cross the Cowsills off my list. I had the chance to talk to John when he was with the Beach Boys and realized how awesome this family was. Not to mention I am a Rhode Islander as well.
If you follow their story, you see phenomenal success and the depths of despair all played out. With all they have endured, the remaining four members -- Bob, Paul, John and Susan -- present positive family relationships. It's a true testament to surviving life's adversity and embracing what truly matters. I can't get enough of watching these videos. And I have downloaded many of their songs in my phone to listen to for a quick pick-me-up. Love these people!
I have always loved this band, they still sound & look great, all very talented. They appear to be eternally happy on stage, what an amazing family band. Long may they rock on.
Still so impressed with their energy and talent! Had completely lost them all these decades ..the remaining members really hung together and including other songs they were influenced by, a true musical family that survived better than most.
Here commenting JULY 14,2019. I always loved the cowsills since 1960's. I am 64 yrs young lol. Hope to see them in person someday. Christine from El Paso Texas.
Lucky for me as a German teenager who spent his holidays in Noord-Holland in the 60s and soaked up the American Top 100 on the beach, broadcast by the pirates Radio Caroline, London, Veronica etc... a ride on the clouds in the sky! Actually, to this day, "The rain, the park and other things" is one of my top summer songs! Unknown in Germany then until today, strange!
This was so joyous and such a great evening - beautiful voices and harmonies. I was in HEAVEN at the front - below Susan- the tall blonde bouncing and dancing away with lots of arm lifting- with my water bottle!! Seeing it again reminds me of how much joy they brought to the entire cruise.
Saw them in Boston In 2018,with The Turtles, The Association, & more. Cowsils were so genuine & stay after the show & talk to us & pictures with us. A true class act!!
Love the oldies and The Cowsills .They do it with style . Hope no one starts insutling me about my love for them .People should not tear another person down think its a very rude thing to do and I refuse to let that person get to me as I know I think they are awesome and that s all that counts .
Patty, I find it amazing, with the horrible things they went through, they get up on stage stage and continue to amaze audiences. I have Great respect for Cowsills.
I will NEVER get tired of hearing and seeing The 🐄 🐮 Cowgirls! They are a breath of fresh air from my youth! They have been through so much together! They are now getting the respect they deserve 👏. Bless them and keep them young Lord!
I’m glad I can connect these great harmonies to the group that made them , enjoying music with the very young musicians that sang they’re hearts out those many years before . Booming out the love of the 60s music !
They make you happy!! Bring back memories. And besides their. Music they can sing anyones and sound damn good. Loved this band since I was young in the 60s. Still have the records. They are amazing. Too bad the brothers aren't here to enjoy these later years. Thanks Cowsills for the great music and memories!!☮️📻👍✌️🎹💖🎶🎸🫡
My son and I saw The Cowsills just this past Monday, 8/30/21 as part of The Happy Together Tour at the Nebraska State Fair. I've LOVED The Cowsills from the time I saw them on The Ed Sullivan show in 67. I was 6 and still remember it. I instantly had a "kid crush" on Susan.
I was just a teenager when I saw The Cowsills in concert in Akron, Ohio in 1969, and again in their "hometown" concert in Canton, Ohio, in 1970. God, Susan was just a child! I have always had a special affection for the family; Paul was in my third grade class at St. Joseph parochial school in Canton when they lived there in the 50s and early 60s. My family and theirs attended the same Catholic church, and had a mutual acquaintance. To the best of my recollection, Bud and Barbara may have participated in bridge parties hosted by my parents in the family living room. Barbara volunteered in the cafeteria at St. Joseph's, and when I met her at the 1970 Canton concert she immediately recognized me; "My God! You're Bernie Toohey's boy,!" and we reminisced about serving glazed donuts and chocolate milk in the cafeteria. The Cowsills were the best live band I have ever seen; and their Beatles covers were impeccable. I will never forget Bill performing "Michelle" solo on the Gretsch Country Gentleman in Canton. Unfortunately, very little footage of the original 60s Cowsills exists. But they are etched indelibly in my memory and in my record collection. Safe passage Bill, Barry, Mini-mom Barbara, and Bud.
Mark Toohey Richard has departed this realm also. Thankfully, he was able to join the band in the latter years, and in their 'Billy Cowsill Tribute Concert' which was beyond fantastic. Richard's participation was long overdue. The Cowsill Family sets musical standards that few can equal, much less exceed! "I pray that the departed are all together on Heaven's Golden Shore, where every day is glorious and there is only peace and joy forevermore." Thanks for sharing your great memories of the Cowsill Family Mark!
@@kathykay2010 Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, I am aware that Richard has also departed the band. I have recently viewed the documentary "Family Band: The Cowsills" by Louise Palanker (available on Amazon); it is a "must see" for any Cowsill fan. Filmed in 2004 when Barry and Richard were still with us. The documentary strikingly reveals the horrendous physical abuse the family (especially Richard) endured at the hand of their out-of-control, crazed, drunken father, Bud. It is hard to believe that those kids survived the beatings, the bruises and the welts that remained hidden beneath their finely tailored suits as they took the stage to sing their "happy, happy, HAPPY" music! Richard reveals that he was the most frequently beaten and bloodied by a father that totally rejected him from the band and the family. Bud ordered him to join the military; and you did not question Bud. You did as you were told. Richard did three tours in Vietnam and came home a heroin addict. He also had ADHD, which made him the more frequent target of Bud's drunken wrath. The Cowsills are a story of success and tragedy. Thankfully, Bud is dead, and the remaining siblings have retained their sanity, and live to carry on the musical legacy of the original American Family Band.
They may not have made millions of dollars from their recording career , as they state in their documentary , but gosh the many millions of people who just love their music...
Loved their rendition of “This Boy” and “Bus Stop” . Have always loved “The Rain, the Park..” and “Hair”. The 1969 video of “Hair” is great. I loved how they added that guitar phrase that opens “Bus Stop” again at the end. I have always thought that the Hollies should’ve recorded it that way.
I was a kid when the cows I believe me and Susan are the same age I would love to see them play so they're going to be around the San Francisco area I would appreciate the knowledge of the other one of my favorite groups back in the day but like everything else we all got the old rockers never died we just Rock harder God bless each and every one of them
Their lives reflect the cautionary tale of what happens when overbearing fathers try to crush the teen spirit. I only wonder what could have been for these guys with good management and encouragement.
I so wish they would have done their song "Gray Sunny Day." It's so good. I believe it was written by Tony Romeo, the man behind a lot of the Partridge Family songs. Maybe not so ironically, "Gray Sunny Day" is the most "Patridge-like" song the Cowsills ever did.
Love hearing them sing . First time hearing them do The Boxer .. I love their version of You’ve Got Your Troubles originally by the Fortunes . There isn’t much they can’t sing and sing very well !
Thank you so much Cindy! I can't say how happy I am that not only were these guys playing (and sounding AMAZING) 3 days before my 59th birthday, but that their harmonies are as beautiful as they've always been. There's another video of them singing Rain, Park, etc at the Billy Cowsill Benefit Concert that I shared on my FB page because I was incredulous at how good they still sounded, but to know that just a few months ago they were still touring and still sounding this good fills me with joy. I hope they're still touring and having as much fun as they're having here. I know a lot of people say their songs are lightweight, etc, but NO ONE gets between me and my music! I like what I like and love what I love. My tastes are all over the place and this family and their music bring me joy, so God bless them all and may they continue to spread the love. Woah woah woah - The Boxer? I can't even... Just beyond Has Paul heard this? I think it would sit him right down and drop his jaw.
Peter Asher of "Peter and Gordon" introducing them. Peter's sister Jane dated Paul McCartney. Peter goes out now with others and tells great stories about those days ! See him if possible.
My wife and I have sat through Peter Asher's entire show at least 5 times on the 2017 and 2018 FPC and never tire of hearing him talk about the early days. Could not make this years FPC due to the later sailing date but hope to go again in 2020.
Dick (the one who wasn't allowed in the band per Bud) died too. Their backstory is incredibly sad but their ability to keep it together while being funny and witty is wonderful.
Susan can sing anything she's amazing
These Three Cowsills are the best family Harmony band bar none.
What a blessing to be able to enjoy this remarkable talent.
Bob, Paul and Susan can sure lift one’s Spirits.
Susan makes my heart beat faster.
They were popular in what was going to be the last year of innocence ..thier contribution to music is far underrated ..i love every song they sing.
The tunes of my childhood 🎶💜🌞 I love the Cowsills !
I’ve got the privilege of seeing them perform twice with the “The Happy Together” tour at The Indiana State Fair ! 🎡🎠

I’m honored to share Birthday’s with Susan.
The Cowsills. Is there anyyyyyone enjoying what they are doing more than them ??? They are having a great REBIRTH and ENJOYING IT FULLY. LOVE THE OLDIES ☺👍
Bob, Susan, and Paul tour periodically and John is the touring drummer for The Beach Boys.
I was enjoying it as much as them. I was the tall Blonde in second then front row between Susan and Paul!
you prolly dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all of the new movies on Instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my gf these days =)
@Steven Roger definitely, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself =)
Beautiful feel the love !!!
Wow! Just fantastic! One of the few bands from the 60's who can still bring it! Susan did an incredible job on To Sir, With Love.
Susan looks and sounds great!
There is nothing the Cowsills can't do! They are incredible
and second to NONE! May God bless & keep them always.

God I love that song. Brings tears to my eyes, ya.. I'm 60.
now ya 62 same as me!
My favorite song of 1967 .. the Rain, the Park, and other things ..
Still so impressed with their energy and talent! Had completely lost them all these decades ..the remaining members really hung together and including other songs they were influenced by, a true musical family that survived better than most.
Such a great band. Their music brings tears to my eyes.
They never got the recognition they deserved.
"This Boy" gives me tears, like I'm a 13 year old girl again. Hey wait... ;)
The Cowsills just loves to entertain us with there magical gifted harmonies they are spectacular.
They sound just as good now as they did in the 60s. Love We 5. They do a great rendition of there song.
You Were on My Mind! Originally by Ian & Sylvia (written by Sylvia). Ian just passed away a few days ago. A true Canadian music treasure!
I was 18 when this song came out! Went and bought it as fast as I could get to it! :) Hope the Cowsills come back big in 2020!
Here commenting JULY 14,2019. I always loved the cowsills since 1960's. I am 64 yrs young lol. Hope to see them in person someday. Christine from El Paso Texas.
Love, love this song The Cowsills are fantastic.
I was raised up on their music. Love listening to them again. Good memories!
Susan is great and sings great

Actually, to this day, "The rain, the park and other things" is one of my top summer songs! Unknown in Germany then until today, strange!
summer of love it truly was..the music like this one was in the air, and lovers were all holding hands.
They did a great job on many songs. They should have many many more views. Music like this deserves to be heard over and over,
Still wonderful harmonies. Sound as good as ever.
This was so joyous and such a great evening - beautiful voices and harmonies. I was in HEAVEN at the front - below Susan- the tall blonde bouncing and dancing away with lots of arm lifting- with my water bottle!! Seeing it again reminds me of how much joy they brought to the entire cruise.
What cruise line was this?
you lucky girl
@@bigshowradio_550 Flower Power Cruise. 2018 - they were also on 2019 and will be on 2021 - best music cruise.
Saw them in Boston In 2018,with The Turtles, The Association, & more.
Cowsils were so genuine & stay after the show & talk to us & pictures with us. A true class act!!

Thanks so much for this. I loved their music since I bought their 1st 45. As a kid of 11 always loved the way Susan dances.
i live in rhode island, born in 1965 and have loved this band and their catalog of music. class act.

I love love love the Cowsills. I was young when they started out. They are the best!!
Great show both musically and entertainingly! TY!
Amazing doing " When I Woke Up This Morning " ! Perfect !!!!!
“ You Were on my Mind” by The We Five written by Sylvia Fricker Tyson of Ian & Sylvia.

I just came across the original singer, singing this her song but she good but, Suan is just so amazingly spectacular.
Lulu’s version cannot be bested. Better give it a second listen.
Absolutely Awesome Guys
If only you could turn back time...Love the Cowsills
Loved them then...…..and still dig 'em today
They never disappoint!
Unjustly under-rated as bubble gum pop.
Good band .. I knew you back then 2 🙏☮️🎸👀
Good Job Cindy !!! Thanks Again !!!!!
You are GREAT THEY ARE ALL YOUR SONGS💞
They were great. Saw both of their shows on the FPC. Happy to see them on the cruise this year!

My Young Age Favorite Family Group
oh how i love this before my days are over and done
Still love them:) my first crush was on John.😍😍
I feel in love with zsusan the first time i seen them on TV
peter asher does a great show on Sirius. he knows so much great trivia.
Susan is remarkable
I so wish they would have done their song "Gray Sunny Day." It's so good. I believe it was written by Tony Romeo, the man behind a lot of the Partridge Family songs. Maybe not so ironically, "Gray Sunny Day" is the most "Patridge-like" song the Cowsills ever did.
Bob and Susan are so great!
When they play This Boy ... on the high part does Bob ever sound like John Lennon ... great stuff .
Love them, but really miss drummer dude John, he was my first boy crush. I.J.S.
Awesome talent!!
Love hearing them sing . First time hearing them do The Boxer .. I love their version of You’ve Got Your Troubles originally by the Fortunes . There isn’t much they can’t sing and sing very well !
That 3 part harmony is great
The Cowsills are incredible
Love the Cowsills. I’d like to forget Peter No one. Peter No one, very fitting.
WOW JUST WOW
I love the Cowsill group! Three are still alive, they can still sing and jive...!
Four are alive. John is the current drummer for the Beach Boys since about 2003.
even though there are 3 and 2 are gone also mom the saying goes THE SHOW MUST GO ON
Three are gone Richard (Bob’s twin) , Billy,and Barry. Living are Bob, Paul, Susan and John. John is the drummer for the Beach Boys.
With all apologies to Walt Disney...the Cowsills are The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band!
