The dress ranged from blue jeans to floor-length mod dresses, from heels to no shoes, from suits to grubs. The ages were 8 to 8 0. All had one thing in common-they'd come to hear the Cowsills in concert.
The Cowsills proved themselves to be not only a singing group, but real entertainers. Their music ranged from folk to hard rock.
EACH member of the grqup seemed to have his own special talent. Eleven-year-old Susie belted out her songs with real force. All agreed she was a real performer.
Barry's imitation of Mick Jagger had the younger of the audience in the aisles but left the older generation a bit baffled.
For the older audience, John did an impersonation of Johnny Cash. This was someone they could identify with.
DURING THE first half, the group worked as a family, but after the intermission Mom stepped off and let the kids "do their thing."
Listeners ranged from teeny-boppers hoping for autographs, to parents who had expected a nice, clean-cut family and got in on some long hair.
The Cowsills were a group who had appeal for the entire audience, not just one section of it.
One fourteen-year-old girl divulged that this was her 17th Cowsills concert. She and her family are more or less a traveling club.
Her mother said that they liked the Cowsills so much because they were just like "real people."
Real people and real performers is the only way to describe the Cowsills. They had something to offer everyone.
