The Cowsills, MGM's family group, made their debut here Thursday (20) night at the Flamingo Hotel.
And though the performance was no slick, super-polished spectacle, it was highly enjoyable and relaxing.
The Cowsills are appearing with comedian Dick Shawn.
The seven-member group, which includes the mother of the family, does not stick to only its hit records. "Indian Lake," which ranked high on the top 40 last fall, is used as a closer.
The folk song "Cruel War," sung by Mrs. Cowsill, and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," show good taste and harmony.
The scene-stealer is precocious pre-teen Susan. Her rendition of "Hello, Hello," the Claudine Longer song, was delightful.
There's something for all; no one leaves dissatisfied,
