THECOWSILLS(MGM 14106)
II X II (3:17) (Justin-Thyme, ASCAP - Ray)
Turning into a totally new direction, the Cowsills surge in with their best
single since “Hair.” Moderately paced, the side features some explosive instrumental
work and a finely wrought vocal performance to re-establish the act
on top forty fronts. Also the family’s best shot yet for FM acceptance. Flip:
"Start to Love” (2:38) (Akbestal/Cowsill, BMI — B & B Cowsill, Pulver)

Bios Of Leading Artists Of 1969
Established with the release of their first
MGM single, "The Rain, the Park & Other Thing,"
the Cowsills have stayed in the sales forefront as
an image of the clean-cut American family. The
team consists of nine Cowsills, originally from
Newport, R. I., who handle the on-stage and behind
the scenes chores as road managers,
equipment handlers, writers and producers in
addition to being performers.
The team's nucleus is made up of brothers
Bill, Bob, Barry and John who are joined frequently
by mother Barbara and other members
of the family.
Hit singles have included "Indian Lake,"
"Poor Baby," "The Candy Kid," and the gold
version of the song "Hair."
