RE: First single
Later, after recruiting brothers John and Barry on drums and bass in the wake of the British invasion, they recorded a single All I Ever Wanta Be Is Me for Johnny Nash’s Joda Records before Bill was even out of high school.
Where was that first Cowsill - MGM audition held? In the executive movie screening room of the Prevue Theater at 1540 Broadway in New York City. They played the top hits of all the MGM artists. They did "Summer In The City", "House Of The Rising Sun", "Soul & Inspiration", and they even did "Buddy Can You Spare A Dime."
According to the Discomuseum.com
site, The Cowsills toured with fellow JODA signees Gloria Gaynor, Johnny Nash, Johnny Day, Sam and Bill Johnson during the JODA time.

Topic: Bob. Quoting Kathy 12/12/98: “...I was reading an insert that came with one of your cassettes, and it mentioned that Artie Kornfeld was responsible for your mother signing on for ‘The Rain, The Park.’ Do you think that’s correct?”
RE: Mom joining the band
Topic: Re: Bob. Quoting Bob 12/12/98: “I’m not familiar with the Artie Kornfeld story of asking Mom to sing on ‘The Rain, the Park’ but I suppose it could be possible...but we had been performing before that time I believe.”

It wasn't until July 1967 that he
saw them again. ... that afternoon I found myself in a big, old studio
at 54th Street and Eighth Avenue. I found out later that it cost two
dollars an hour to rent that studio, and that the Cowsills had pooled
their last remaining resources to do an audition for me.
When
the Cowsill got up to perform, you could have knocked me over with a
feather! Not only was Barbara singing a couple of numbers with them now,
but so was the little "peanut" Susie! I was amazed at how professional
they were - and it wasn't until much later that I learned that the
audition was the very first time Barbara and Susie had performed for
anyone!
The group was unbelievable! They flipped me out. They
performed for me for over an hour, doing tunes like Reach Out, Monday
Monday, and Knock On Wood. When they finished, I grabbed Bud and said,
"Get your family and come with me." And we all went to my office, which
was right around the corner.
I went on to explain to the
Cowsills that I thought MGM would be the best label for them. Though
they were attentive, they seemed somehow distressed. However, I picked
up the phone and made an appointment with Mort Nasatir, President of MGM
Records, for the following Monday. We all shook hands and the Cowsills
left to spend the weekend in Newport. They said they would see me at my
office Monday morning.
"Lenny, I hate to burden you with this,"
he said, "but I found out this weekend that the bank is going to take
our house away from us. You see, we have not been able to keep up the
mortgage payments, and now they say that if we don't come up with
$5,000, we're just going to lose everything."

department, their engineers, staff producers and promotions department,
as well as much of the publicity, accounting and distribution staff. The
conservative Curb made headlines in 1970 by announcing that he was
evicting any artists who used drugs from the MGM roster."
The
Tennesseean In 1969 at 25, Curb merged his record label with a
struggling MGM Records. He created a stir in the industry at the time by
announcing that the label was dropping artists who advocated or
exploited drugs, which earned him a Page 1 Billboard headline and
criticism from the industry. CHECK BILLBOARD

RE: Evolution of the band in the
late ’70s
...Bob did not give up his ambition. Quoting Bob: “I
kept writing. Then, in 1976, we ran into a guy named Chuck Plotkin (who
would subsequently find fame and fortune as Bruce Springstein’s
producer). He liked us a lot and wanted to produce us. That started a
three-year apprenticeship for me on how to write a song, how to record a
song, with Chuck being my teacher. We cut and mastered 15 tracks, some
at Chuck’s studio and some at Emmit Rhodes’ studio. At this time the
band consisted of Paul, John, Susan, and myself (an incarnation that
continued into the ’90s.)...Bob thinks these sessions were the “best
stuff we’ve ever done. I listen to these tapes to this day, and the
people in my world who hear them agree with me...Our stuff was ill timed
anyway. There was too much disco happening back then, and we didn’t do
disco.”

RE: Evolution of
the band continues into the ’80s and ’90s
Bob and the band took
a break in the early ’80s, and Bob took to doing cover material at pubs,
which he does to this day. However, in the mid-’80s the third phase of
the Cowsills took shape. Quoting Bob: “In ’85-’86 I started writing
again, songs that I thought were real good.”
The band went out
and did some small tours and benefit shows around the country, but their
song lineup emphasized the old material. Quoting Bob, “We’d open with
The Rain, the Park and Other Things and close with Hair. But around
’91-’92 we decided that we were ready to play the club scene in L.A. and
those songs became encore songs. We wrote a whole bunch of new songs and
they became the main part of our show. We did it this way because only
one-third of the people who came to the clubs knew who we were, and
two-thirds didn’t.”
The public who did remember them were very
surprised at the change in approach and style of the new material, and
most of the response was quite positive. Quoting Bob: “The press in L.A.
was awesome. They allowed us to play original music in clubs.” Original
it was, imbuing the band’s own sound with that of Fleetwood Mac-meets
Tom Petty-meets the Byrds. It was extremely vital to the band that the
public not view them as a band resting on past laurels...Quoting Bob:
“The club scene was important to us because we wanted to say to the
audience, ‘We’re on your terms. We’re just like any other band.’”
