William J. Cowsill, manager for his wife, daughter and five sons, the singing Cowsills, has filed for bankruptcy, it was learned Friday.
The father of the group who took the family name to the top of the pop music charts in the late 1960s filed papers in federal court recently stating that he is $455,399.01 in debt.
Most of the debts were incurred in the course of managing the singing group, and are owed to dozens of hotels, recording studios, credit card companies, insurance companies, lawyers, agents, airlines and banks around the country.
The financial status of the other family members was not known, and Cowsill's lawyer, Paul Borges, said he had no idea where any of the young Cowsills were.
