March 2, 1968
Record World Magazine

The Cowsills, MGM's hit recording family, have announced the addition of another member of the performing group.

Sixteen-year-old Paul Cowsill, who previously worked as equipment manager for the act, will now appear on stage, singing and playing trumpet. Paul made his performing debut when the Cowsills recently toured Italy. Bill Cowsill, lead singer and guitarist, had to return to New York and his college classes before the end of the European visit, so Paul was drafted to fill for him. Now, there is a total of seven members of the Cowsill family who appear on stage.

The Cowsills were scheduled to start and finish with NBC television programming on Monday, Feb. 26. In the morning they were honored with a special one -hour segment on "The Today Show" with Hugh Downs. Then they closed the NBC day with an appearance on Monday's "Tonight" as well!

During those programs, Paul did not appear as part of the group. His network television debut will be April 21, when the Cowsills are scheduled for their third appearance on "the Ed Sullivan Show."
