LOS ANGELES - Cowsills Productions is expanding into management with the signing of Clem Curtis, former lead singer of the Foundations, and Twice Nicely, a rock group.
The Company, the production arm of the Cowsills, MGM Recording group, eventually will sign more groups to management contracts, said David Ray, Cowsills general manager.
Twice Nicely, a New York act, will record for Atlantic Records, while Curtis has signed with Liberty, where his initial singles is "Maria Take a Chance." Several members of the group and Curtis will write for the recently formed Cowsills Music (BMI).
Initial booking for Curtis is "Happening '69" with the Cowsills April 23. Ray is planning a series of TV dates and a U.S. concert tour for Curtis, who will use a six-piece band in support.
Meantime, Bill Cowsill, lead singer, writer and producer of the Cowsills, MGM recording group, has left the act. The group will continue to record but with Bob Cowsill as lead singer.
Initial product without Bill Cowsill is a single, "Dobin." The next Cowilss album, "The Cowsills Live in Concert, Vol. 1," was recorded several months ago at the University of Illinois with the orginal group.
