Still, Jones readily acknowledges the staying power of "The Partridge Family," which aired in the early 1970s. The Cowsills, a pop group from Newport, R.I., inspired the series.
The Cowsills featured six children and their mother and the group scored a handful of hits in the late 1960s, including the title song from the rock musical "Hair."
Jones was cast in the television series after The Cowsills showed little interest in doing the show. "The Partridge Family" also featured David Cassidy, who is Jones' stepson, Danny Bonaduce, and Susan Dey.
