Cowsills - MGM
The Cowsills' nucleus consists of Bill, Bob,
Barry, and Jahn Cawsill. Their mother Barbara
Cowsill lends her voice to the boy's harmony
whenever it is needed. The road managers, Dick
and Paul Cowsill, who chose not to enter the
performing end of the business, keep equipment
straight and in order throughout their Journeys.
The Cowsills live in a 22-room mansion atop
one of the few Newport, Rhode Island hills.
Bill, born January 9, 1948, coordinates. He is
the oldest member of his family. He attends
Rhode Island College where his forte is English.
He writes his own lyrics. Bob, born August
26, 1949, is all A's and B's in school. Barry,
born September 14, 1954, plays bass guitar
and sings. John, the little drummer, was born on
March 2, 1956. The Cowsills' MGM single, "The
Rain, The Park, And Other Things," established this group nationally.

ORACLE (Verve Forecast 5075)
The Night We Fell In Love (1:53)
[Moo-Moo. BMI-Green] Cowsill-y teen
ballad with some fine production work
to give a big orchestral boost to the
smooth sound of this breakout group.
Hearty welcome is likely to turn up
for this item. Flip: “Don’t Say No”
(3:05) [Sins, BMI-Friedman]
