	Ink 19 :: The Cowsills (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		One of the true pioneers of the where-are-they-now phenomenon, The Cowsills were a Rhode Island family comprised of a mom, five brothers and a sister, who in the late '60s predated The Osmonds and The Jackson Five as America's premier musical family.
		It's no secret that The Partridge Family was created to approximate the look and the sound of The Cowsills, a fact that firmly entrenches them in pop cultural history.
		While the bubblegum factor is writ large, and many of their songs do sound like cartoon pop from some Saturday morning animated rock band, it is useless to try and resist their power: You will want to sing along, and you will like it.

		This is the earliest nationally recognized version of the group (although the foursome Cowsills had released a short series of unsuccessful singles on a local record label way back when).
		The Cowsills had a string of hits, and made the scene, bursting across the splashy pages of teen magazines (Barry and John most of the time-- hence my nick BarrysChic) and appearing coast to coast on such notable showcase TV shows as "It's Happening" and "Operation Entertainment" and "Kraft Music Hall".
		The Cowsills have grown up and gone their seperate ways, but the 'core four' (Bob, Paul, susan and John) reunited for a time in the early nineties to do some reminiscing.

		Since you put out a lengthy study of the Cowsills, perhaps you might be interested to hear from an ex-band member.
		That's right---though I'm not a family member, I was indeed a full-fledged member of the Cowsills at one time (and to my knowledge, I was the ONLY non-Cowsill-family-member to enjoy that privilege.)
		In 1978, independent record producer Chuck Plotkin (who had earlier enjoyed some success producing the group Orleans) contacted me saying that he had a group of musicians, all members of a single family, who were preparing to record an album.

		Beneath the wholesome family image, the Cowsills were a real band.
		It would have been very interesting to get the Cowsills and their songs into a studio with a producer like Gary Usher, Curt Boettcher, or even Brian Wilson to see what kind of magic might have occurred.
		Still, the Cowsills were so much more than just a kiddie band or the model for the Partridge Family.
