Charlie Callas was a regular on the Andy Williams television show and has been appearing on the Dez O'Connor Show. He has a fresh, brash style of comedy
The Cowsills were started by Bob and Bill as a guitar-singing duo to amuse their own family, occasionally performing at hometown functions in Newport, R.I. Barry joined them on drums, later switching to bass guitar when John became drummer. The quartet graduated to high school and college functions. In 1967 they persuaded their mother, Barbara, to join them, and later so did a sister, Susan, now 11. Bill left the group but Dick took his place, so now there are six.
They got into recording five years ago and made two singles selling over 1,000,000 platters each. They made four best-selling albums and a sing of "Hair," which sold 2,000,000. They have made many appearances on a score of television shows and played the Flamingo in Las Vegas.
