PROVIDENCE, R.I. (UPI) - As their popularity faded, William J. Cowsill said he knew trying to pay off his singing family's mountain of debts was futile.
Cowsill, former business manager of the musical group consisting of his wife, daughter and five sons, was in U. S. Bankruptcy Court Wednesday. He said the act grossed over $500,000 in 1969, but said he had about $50 in pocket money when he filed for bankruptcy June 24.
Papers showed Cowsill owed $445,339.01 to hotels, ecording studios and other firms.
The group folded in 1970, after climbing the pop music charts with its song "Indian Lake" and "The Rain, The Park and Other Things."
