Cowsill's two oldest sons, Bill, 21, and Bob, 19, are expanding their activities in the writing and a&r areas while still going to school. The two, who have written "80 per cent" of all the songs in the group's MGM albums, will be available to produce sessions; for any new acts signed by their father.
The two sons arranged and produced the title song from the upcoming MGM film, "Impossible Years" which the family sings in the film. The son is the backside of their new Christmas single, "Candy Kid" The assignment marks the family's first venture into film work.
The family's first special was shown las Saturday (23) over NBC. The half-hour family situation comedy is a pilot for a projected series in which the family will act and sing.
Concurrent with the family's move here, their manager, Leonard Stogel, also moved his office here from New York.
