Music lovers stream into Morristown, NJ's MPAC on this first day of summer - Saturday, June 21, 2025 - for a sold-out concert of music from the '60s presented by the stars of the 2025 Happy Together Tour: The Turtles, Jay and the Americans, Little Anthony, Gary Puckett, The Vogues, and The Cowsills.
Inside the MPAC auditorium, the members of the Happy Together Band - bassist Greg Smith, drummer Chris Camilleri, keyboardist Manny Focarazzo, and musical director/guitarist Godfrey Townsend - take the stage for tonight's performance.
The pre-recorded voice of DJ Shadow Stevens introduces The Cowsills and siblings Susan, Paul, and Bob Cowsill take the stage and open tonight's show with a bouncy rendition of their catchy '67 hit, "The Rain, The Park, and Other Things" (aka "The Flower Girl").
Rich vocal harmonies fill the air as the siblings perform with energy to avid cheers and applause.
Paul exclaims, "This goes out to everybody in the balcony!" as the trio soars into their 1967 hit, "We Can Fly." Music lovers clap along to Bob's lead vocal which is supported by Susan and Paul's high-flying choreography.
Bob recalls, "We needed a hit record in 1968 . . . we hope you remember it!" as the trio segues into a lively version of "Indian Lake." Then, colored shapes morph on screen as The Cowsills sing and play the TV theme song they recorded in 1969 — the theme from Love, American Style.
Concertgoers cheer and Paul says "We're going to do our biggest hit" as The Cowsills end their set with a high-energy rendition of their 1969 smash, "Hair," which has music lovers happily standing and applauding.
