The Cowsills consist of Bud and Barbara Cowsill and their children: Bill, 19, who does most of the songwriting and arranging; Bob and Dick, 18; Paul, 15; Barry, 13; John, 11; and Susan, 8, the only girl in the family. They live in a 23-room mansion in Newport, R.I. that is described as being "straight out of Charles Adams." They've always been a musical family, but they didn't really catch on professionally until last summer.
