The highly popular family rock group, The Cowsills, will appear in concert on the South Plains College campus on Saturday, October 17. The South Plains Student Senate and the Student Activity Office will sponsor the event.
The Cowsills are a family group consisting of the mother, Barbara Cowsill, four sons and one daughter. They have been singing as a group for three years and have had six million selling single records and four albums that have received the coveted gold record for selling a million copies. Their first big hit was THE RAIN, PARK AND EVERYTHING followed by their very popular INDIAN LAKE. However, their biggest hit came in 1969 with their recording of HAIR which was the number two song for the entire year, and is among the top fifty selling songs for all-time.
Recently the Cowsills have confined their time to concert appearances and television work. They have been seen recently on the Ed Sullivan Show, Merv Griffith, Johnny Carson Show, the Glenn Campbell Goodtime Hour, Dean Martin Show and the Tom Jones Show. This summer the group has been accompanying Johnny Cash on concert appearances and making separate appearances of their own at fairs, rodeos, and rock concerts.
The Cowsills concert is two hours of solid entertainment that is enjoyed by people of all ages. Their music is popular, yet not too heavy for adults to enjoy. They are one of the few groups on the recording scene today that have managed to appeal to yougsters, teenagers, college-aged youth, and adults. Also, their music is of a wide variety with occasional ballads, some country songs, and of course the current popular hits of their own and other groups and artists.
