The Cowsills In Magazines

MEET THE
COWSILLS -

IN A "Munster-like mansion" in Newport, R.I., lives a super-talented family of nine and a ghost! Only one of the family - Susan - can see the ghost, but you can meet the family. They are the Cowsills, and their first MGM release The Rain, The Park, And Other Things was a smash.

THEN TAKE A LOOK AT ALL THEY WANT TO GIVE YOU ABSOLUTELY FREE!

Hi, I'm John. My full name is John Patrick Cowsill and I was born on March 2, 1956. I play the drums and sing lead and harmony with the group. I've five feet two inches tall and I weigh 100 pounds. I've got dark brown hair, very dark eyes, freckles and I smile a lot.

Greetings - I'm Barry. I used to play the drums with the group until brother John took over. I now play the bass guitar and sing background harmony. I was born on September 14, 1954, and I'm five feet and one inch tall. I've got brown hair and hazel eyes. Yes, I've got freckles too.

I'm Bob, I play the organ and lead guitar, and sing lead and harmony with the group. I was born on August 26, 1949. I'm five feet eleven inches tall and weight 155 pounds. I've got brown eyes and black hair. My twin brother, Dick, is the road manager for the group.

Hi, I'm Bill. Lots of people call me "Shadow," cos I'm so skinny that I don't case one! I play lead guitar, rhythm guitar and sometimes the drums - when I can get them away from John. I'm six feet and one inch tall and I weigh 155 pounds. I've got brown hair and green eyes.

Hello - I'm Susan. I used to be the mascot of the group, but lately I've been playing tambourine and singing a few of the songs. I was born on May 20, 1959, and I spend my spare time talking to the ghost that lives on the third floor of our hugh old haunted house in Newport.

I'm Barbara. My nickname is "mini-mon," cos I'm the skinny little mother of seven big children! I sing harmony with the group on several numbers.

Hi - I'm Dick. I'm the road manager of the group. I take care of the sound, lighting, staging and I drive the rest of the Cowsills to and from our concert appearances.

I'm Paul, I'm a road manager, too. I help out with the driving - and any other ways I can. My main ambition is to be a professional basketball player.

Hell, 16-ers. I'm William Cowsill. I'm the father and co-ordinater of the Cowsills. I'm real proud of them. Hope you love 'em like I do!
