The highly popular family rock-group, The Cowsills, will appear in concert on the South Plains College Campus on Saturday, Oct. 17. The South Plains College Student Senate and the Student Activity Office will sponsor the event.
The Cowsills are a family group consisting of the mother, Barbara Cowsill, four sons and one daughter. They have been singing as a group for three years, and have had six million selling single records and four albums that have received the coveted gold record for selling a million copies.
Their first big hit was “The Rain, Park and Everything” followed by their very popular “Indian lake.” However, their biggest hit came in 1969 with their recording of “Hair” which was the number two song for the entire year, and is among the top 50 selling songs for all time.
Recently the Cowsills confined their time to concert appearances and television work. They have been seen recently on the Ed Sullivan Show, Merv Griffin, Johnny Carson Show, the Glenn Campbell Goodtime Hour, Dean Martin Show and the Tom Jones Show. This summer the group has been accompanying Johnny Cash on concert appearances and making separate appearances of their own at fairs, rodeos and rock concerts.
The Cowsills’ concert is two hours of solid entertainment that is enjoyed by people of all ages. Their music is popular, yet not too heavy for adults to enjoy. They are one of the few groups on the recording scene today that have managed to appeal to youngsters, teenagers, college-aged youth and adults. Also, their music is of a wide variety with occasional ballads, some country songs and of course the current popular hits on their own and other groups and artists.
Further details will be released by the SPC student Senate in the next few days concerning the acquiring of tickets, prices and other pertinent information. The concert is planned for a Saturday night to allow families, school children and all working people to attend.
