Hair by The Cowsills

Gaga at the gogo??? Do I hear a brand new verse added in?

[@Citizen1910]

Incredible how similar Bob and Billy’s voices resemble each other.

[@itsspideyman]

Susan was, is, and always will be a babe!! Love that "aannd spagheetiii!!" Awesome voice!

[@intex-lv6od]

God bless this gifted and this talented band. My mother and father loved them. I do, too. Whenever I need a lift, I listen too them on you tube. Even better, I spin them on the turn table.

[@paulsmith8212]

When Susan does the “ and Spaghetti “ , I get a little watery eyed . Those were some fantastic years growing up . ( 1969)

[@larrybelitsky1444]

One of the most underrated talents of all time. Loved them then, loved them still and I'm old enough to have seen Elvis, The Who, Led Zepplin, Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Roy Orbison, 3 Dog Night, Deep Purple, et al. All of the GREATEST TALENTS of music that ever lived. Can't believe they've still got it !

I'll always love the Cowsills and this song.

Now that was a real treat from an ole Cowsills fan from way back when. Even without Bill and Barry and mom, these guys bang this classic out better than the original...still just as talented and entertaining as 1969 !

[@rossscarcelli5852]

The most talented band I've ever known, they have not lost one beat since they were kids.

Hair is one of those songs that never grows old. the Cowsills will live forever with their music

[@limabeat]

Wow this song is still a classic! What an awesome performance!

[@doowopdan1879]

I've been an oldies fan for 35 years, and only recently discovered how talented and versatile this group is/was. Unfortunately, only Bob, Paul, and Susan are still performing regularly as the Cowsills (John's the Beach Boys' drummer), and Bill and Barry are gone. But they are really something. Also, I love how they added a verse from the broadway show in this rendition which they did not use on the hit record.

Been listening them since the 60s. What a fantastic family! Got to meet Bob, Susan and Paul in 2019 at a "meet and greet". Super talented family. Super nice people. True American icons.

[@alicegarcia7903]

This song is bittersweet for me. I was about 10 years old when this song came out. The hippie look was all the rage. Psychedellic colors, fringed vests and purses. It was a fun time. Hippie Power was what America needed in the late Sixties. Young people wanted to unite and be heard. A lot of great songs that will always touch my heart. Ahhhh....to be young.

I was seventeen or eighteen when Hair hit the airwaves. I look at little Susie differently now. She's very pretty. Don't know when they did this but they still have talent. Real talent. Most old groups embarrass themselves on stage. They took me back and the Cowsills did themselves proud.

[@frhythms]

Love it!!! I was about 5 or 6 years old when I would hear this song on the radio ... and I always loved, loved it!!!! Still do !!!

[@mixisixi2367]

So happy to still listen to such a talented family. Hats off to you!

[@PTDoug011]

Bob has such a great voice, and really pulls this off nicely. The harmonies are amazing. The only negative thing that I could possibly say is that I would have loved to have heard Bill sing this complete version of Hair. But what a great performance!

[@jackt5617]

Still just as good as the first time I heard it on TV, when I was 14. They really were a very talented family.

[@Bajemea]

I saw this when it was on PBS and it's GREAT! It's great to hear them sing it live and I love it just as much as when I first heard it 1969! The Cowsills rock!

[@jaelge]

How could they possibly still be that awesome?

[@twinstu50]

Because they are. It's their message, their words, their (my) time. Having said that, 'my time' is just that, my time. What I mean is, here, when it first happened, it was our time', it was the first time it happened. NOW, people, it's "Your Time". Not mine, that happened way back when, YOU, are now YOU, not US, we did our bit, we tried, did our best. Now it's your turn, do not let us down?, - NO!,- DON'T LET YOURSELVES DOWN!.

Gaga at the Gogo..that's my favorite line of the song...saw hair on stage and man what a trip...those days will never come back...the 60's were insanely eventful and changed so many people's lives ...for the better and some for the worse....

[@AmbivalCelestus]

Still a heart-stoppingly awesome song and performance. Even better than before.

[@MaybeLater500]

This is the version I used to listen to on the radio back in the day, before I saw the play -- 6 times...! I still love it, as I used to love it decades ago.

[@xXXgoob123]

They sound as good as they did back in the 1960's!!!!! Oh and "...GaGa at the GoGo" is from the original Broadway song. What a gift to see them again after all these years!

Wow ! l have at the age of 52 in the UK have just discovered the sound of The Cowsills, really its true. I always heard The Flowergirl on the radio throughout my life and now thanks to youtube I have found out about the other songs and the fact of the family?, something fresh and new( for me) about the 60's, great harmonies.

[@fantots]

Great vid. I'm Susan's age and have had a thing for her since elementary school. Was fortunate enough to meet her about 10 years ago and be her guest at a Continental Drifters concert. She spent a lot of time she didn't have to talking to me before and after the show. What a fun babe! More a fan now than ever. All the best to her and hers.

[@Helivz]

I remember this tune, in the early spring of 1970. I was a lad of nine, in the third grade, and my father always gave me "crew cuts." I envied those who were allowed to wear their hair long. Well, I got my wish. Twenty years ago, my hair was so long, I could reach behind my back and touch it. It is still long, but not that long. Those were the days!

[@hayalllivn]

Ah, the full version. I wish the Cowsills had originally recorded it that way.Regardless.. quite amazing that here they were 30+ years later and sounding unbelievably good.

[@rudeger66]

Really love this song and the complexity of the harmonies, and the lyrics as well. VERY impressive.

[@Pudentame]

The "Gaga at the go-go" verse was part of the original Broadway show. When the Cowsills recorded the song in 1969 they repeated the first verse in its place.

[@ghs4t3]

That is absolutely correct . I think it was too controversial for air play It would have caused too much for the parents of the kids like me to handle with their long hair.

[@jeffreyneedle2001]

Gaga was a name used to describe extremely hip people. Lady Gaga would use the word in later years.

[@joelanderos23]

maybe because of the religious content in that verse.

[@joelanderos23]

@@jeffreyneedle2001 lady gaga got it from the queen song ''radio gaga''

[@kenevans4749]

Also, the lines " Jesus wore it Hallelujah, I adore it Mary loved him Why dont my mother love me..." These lines were taken out of orig tv performance of hair as they were too religious and powers that be didnt want to offend "christians". More power to The Cowsills!

[@davidfeather3880]

[@mcrider1960]

MP, my wife had the same experience as you due to chemo. At first she was alarmed, but after awhile she got used to it. Months later she said that after her hair started to come back in she would still shave it bald as it was a lot less trouble that way. Well, it's been three years since chemo, and she did let her hair grow back. Maybe this song is what inspired her to keep it, lol.

[@BuddyClontz]

I saw(and met) the Cowsills last night in NC at a concert they were performing and they were brilliant! They still harmonize as well as anyone on the planet. A great performance by real musicians. Go see them and take a friend with you. You'll be glad you did.

Fantastic just like ever! Amazing musical talent to be able to sing and learn other harmonies as members active status changed. Thank you for doing what you love! Kudos to Bob, Paul, Susan and other family members who obviously are pretty terrific, too!! We fans miss Billy, Barry and Dickie. As fans, we feel like family but on the opposite side.

I want to thank them for performing at the Happy Together tour.!!! You lifted my spirit!!!! Thanks again!!!!

[@maureenmcgovern9872]

Nesta Abbott Hi! It was Susan, Paul, and Bob at the WI state fair. Bob was on lead on the right end, Paul was in the middle, and Susan on the left. Thanks for your comment. I am still reeling from meeting them as I am loving watching all their performances and interviews on YT. Susan didn't say anything, Paul did all the talking...and don't ask me what he said...I was kind of freaking! I am so impressed with their talents, spirit, and professionalism. I was born in '63, so I wasn't too aware of much when they were popular, although my siblings are all 10-15 years older than me. My oldest brother has been a singer in bands as long as I can remember. I remember seeing him open up for Bobby Sherman in 1970 at Summerfest. And another brother and sister are singer songwriter performers. Plus they were all "hippies" at UW Madison when I was little. So I'm definitely feeling a bit of a kinship with the family. Susan is only 4 years older than me...and she blows me away too with her dancing, singing, and stage presence. And you being the youngest with 5 older brothers kind of know what I mean too. Two of the 6 in the band have passed...Billy, the oldest died of cancer (I believe) and Barry was lost in Hurricane Katrina. Very sad! Richard, who was never in the band, also died from cancer (I believe). So these three still perform as The Cowsills, and little adorable brother John, who is a super talented drummer and singer, has been performing with the Beach Boys for something like 10 years. I was also lucky to see him at a couple state fairs. Anyway, get on YT and have a blast reliving their past. I love the TV special they did. I think I might have watched it when I was little...I hope so! I hope your hips feel better. Maureen
