Hello, Hello-The Cowsills (New Upload)

[@BanksyGirl]

Broke my heart when I heard how her father treated her, and the boys too. She seemed so sweet and adorable. Loved the Cowsills.

[@gabez8]

imho i believe that monsters like Bud Cowsill, Joe Jackson, Murry Wilson, etc pimp their kids out to the exploitative music industry in order to hide the fact they abuse their kids.

[@maureenmcgovern6119]

I agree. He was a terrible father.

Susan Cowsill was a living doll... And to think I just discovered her in 2016, on the "Happy Together Tour." Now I am watching all of her old videos from the 60"s and 70"s. Luv her!

Yes she could then and now.

[@mapleva]

I saw Susan backstage at the Happy Together concert at Snoqualmie Casino near Seattle. The Cowsills were one of the acts performing, along with other groups from the 60s. Of course the Turtles were the headliner. We went to see Howard of the Turtles, who lived in Seattle at the time. Susan was walking around back stage, but I was too starstruck to say "hi".

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

@@bluebirds4me I grew up a Led Zeppelin fan. I never listened to the Cowsills, my sister was crazy about them. I did not realize how talented they were. Now I love watching their videos, I guess it reminds me of the mid to late 60s. The only thing I have in common the Cowsills...Barry was born in 1954, myself 1955 and John 1956. John also was so talented on the drums at a young age and he's sounding good now.

You couldn't help but notice all those teeth, but that's what made them real. The were like the family with lots of kids up the street in the split level or triple decker. I was into blues and rock at the time, but always loved the Cowsills, and so did just about everyone else.

Beatles girl: i see you have posted comments on a whole lot of the videos I watch. It is now 1968 and these Cowsill videos are a treasure. Susan had Such a precocious voice back in the day, but I never saw the group live, or on tape, until this past week. Susan was precocious in just about everything, but when I heard her sing on my vinyl albums I had no idea how young she was. I didn't know she could dance and I certainly never imagined her as an insanely cute young girl who danced as well as she sang. Thanks little kitty and all the others who uploaded videos of this group!

Susan Cowsill was, hands down, the girl my elementary school buddies and I adored the most in 1970. I don't recall who was #2, Jan Brady maybe? A couple years later when we were tweens it was the blind girl on The Little House on the Prairie.

[@Taryngracia]

And she as an adult was talking about how he wanted her to sing about her tangerine - cringe

[@evanwatkins5929]

I wonder if Susan would still sing this song, by request, at one of her shows? I know she would never treat me mean, but this song might not be on her current play list. At least I can get my daily fix, by watching this video right here. This is a great song by the Cowsills.

[@bluebirds4me]

Watch the documentary. She doesn't think kindly of the song and it's inappropriateness for a young girl..or the cutsie pie dress with matching panties she wore dancing with Buddy Epstein..or the banter with Dean Martin..

me too man, and it was mostly this song. From they're WAY out of print, 1969 live album, The Cowsills in Concert. I was 14 in 69. and by the way Catholic Republican Crusader, when a 13 year old, offers a 14 year old a bite of her tangerine, they're talking about CITRUS FRUIT. So YOU might wanna get YOUR head out the gutter, and rephrase.

Susan Cowsills cuteness was the selling point then,I think. Shame more hasn't been more of it.

LOVE MUSIC

[@garfle1959]

Once she got older, she was embarrassed about the tangerine bit.

[@bobmalack481]

Susan had that distintive high piercing voice that was quite interesting but not screetchy or irritating. The younger she was, the better it sounded, as in 68's 'The rain, the park, and other things', or more commonly known as 'The flower girl'. The last 'happy' of the 3 happy's..'happy, happy, happy!' Is Susan's, and it really stands out not in volume, but in her 'sound'. I personally think her niche and best singing is in harmonizing parts. An outstanding counterpoint is her as a 17 year old harmonizing with Dwight Twilley in 1974's 'I'm on fire'. Even then you can here that Susan 'sound'. It also shows here that Susan can 'rock out' some and is not restricted to 'easy listening'/variety show faire.

[@bluebirds4me]

Last happy was young Barry

[@danwilliams1920]

The backing vocals are so, so key in their songs, no question.

[@injungene]

sweetheart then still americas sweetheart.

[@ShakepearesDaughter]

In reply to Frizzeltrap: I was a kid of the same age as Susan back in 1969. Working-class people didn't spend that kind of money on their kids' teeth, especially if they had a lot of kids. "Perfect teeth" was an aspirational idea, like wanting to climb the social ladder and have an office job rather than a blue-collar one. It was simply out of financial reach for most. This family made a lot of money back then but the dad spent it all on nobody-knows-what, so he apparently didn't care about the gappy teeth.

[@warrenjackson7661]

+ShakepearesDaughter - absolutely, and this generation doesn't understand that "bleaching" is a pretty new thing - and I think most Americans are still working class, but we have so much stuff now.

[@GypsyFairy85]

Wait a minute I knew plenty of little 4th graders that had braces in 68/69 and mom and dad were plain working folks.

Is it weird to like their teeth? Their teeth are them, they are distinctive and I don't think they look bad.

Their career was financed via credit cards and other loans. When the group disbanded, there was no money left and there were bills to be paid. It's covered pretty extensively in the documentary Family Band. Look for it on Showtime or Netflix...very in depth.

She's a cutie pie. Of course, you can understand what she meant much later when, recalling this song, she said, "There was something questionable about having an 11-year-old girl sing 'Would you like some of my tangerine?'"

[@chrisranz2714]

That my good friend dancing with Susan had been Buddy ebsen

[@mcnaughtonmcbarkerandco]

Can't help thinking that the lyrics could have just as easily have referred to Susan's tambourine (and not any tangerine she might have had) 😁

[@richardmcginnis5344]

[@donaldchaperlo6095]

Actually it should have been 1969, age 10. She was doing "Ask The Children" from the 'Captain Sad" album in '68.

[@markadams515]

The Partridge family was excellent with one major star; the Osman family was excellent with two major stars. The Cowsills achieved pop genius with Hair and greatness with Park, Rain, and Other Things, having a lot of common sense to play other very strong pop tunes. The entire Cowsill family was charismatic and unbelievably talented, especially voice harmonies. Though the television industry have achieved many great creations, the television industry made a big mistake by not paying the Cowsills what they deserve instead of the Partridge family. I hope in the future great pop bands will not be suppressed. The disbanding of the Cowsills was sadly tragic. That is what happens when people in power are jealous or don't recognize genius entertainment value.

[@dsbruce6532]

I do agree with your sentiment but if you ever can watch the Cowsill documentary Family Band, you would find out it was their father that controlled their fate more than the other execs. When he got into a big fight with Bill the oldest and kicked him out of the family as well as the band, that was the beginning of the end. Their father was mostly responsible for their successes but ultimately failures also such as losing an unprecedented multi appearance contract with Ed Sullivan and as already stated, eventually their demise. He did bring Waddy Wachtel out of New York/Rhode Island life to California which eventually led to a huge amount of collaboration with many of my favorite artists. So the asshole alcoholic somehow got a few good things done but mostly screwed everything up and made all those around him unhappy.

[@Royalchess1]

This video could really use to sync the video and audio. I was listening to the original tract by THE SOPWITH CAMEL a few years before this. There is now a reprise of their song. . very nice but it's a bit too long.

[@bobmalack481]

...oh, to a previous comment. One, and only ONE female may look cuter in a 'bob' than Susan, it would be Corrine Drewery of Swing out Sister, 1980's vintage of course, she was a professional model before her hit 'Break out' so the hairstyle is tailor made for her looks. You've heard the tune, unless your an 'out of the loop' miliniel.

[@Royalchess1]

Bob Malek, I just happened to read your comment about my 'original' comment. I and YT'd Corrine in a few vids. Her bob, although it was nice, never saw it cut the same twice. I'm a Hair Designer and have no problem telling these things. Corrine had fine hair and it had to be cut almost without any graduation. Another favorite "bob' cut of just late is the QUORRA bob from TRON LEGACY, that IS a cool bob...alot of different design lines going on!
