- The Cowsills were the primary inspiration for the The Partridge Family TV show - a real family band which included their Mom. Unlike the show, which featured actors lip-synching to professional musicians, the Cowsills could really play and sing. As Shirley Jones once put it "They were the real deal".
Those were the days. Gone. Missed. But not forgotten.
I had no idea they did a cover of this Iconic musical number. WOW they knocked it out of the park. This family was incredible then , and still today.
They had a big hit with this song.
Awesome song I was 11 years old when I first heard this in late 69
I just discovered the Cowsills yesterday, wow They were awesome, and now I feel nostalgic for this era I didn't live.
I was 7 years old when this song was a hit. Music was so good when I was a child and an adolescent.
Welcome aboard to the best years of music! From a girl born in '59!
They were great times!
I was 9. And I agree with you, Debbie. @@debbiebrown4420
My favorite Cowsill song!! Still viable sounding today. Play it for the kids and the love it!❤
This video was life-changing for me when it was first broadcast on tv in the late sixties. I instantly fell in love with it. And today i could watch it over and over. Love those Cowsills!
This shit is way too good to be listening today's music
Just learned the Cowsills played this hit.
Six decades and I learn today.

My life is complete ☺

The Cowsills also sang the theme song for the hit TV show, "Love American Style".
I always loved this song, first heard it when I was a kid. When my son and daughter were little, I put long towels on their heads and pretended it was long hair and I was playing this song and had them shaking their heads and flipping their "hair" around and made a video, now just recently my daughter did the same thing with my granddaughter, except my granddaughter has long hair for real, way past her shoulders, she had my granddaughter slinging her hair around and made a video with this song. 😂
This tune brings back memories... At the time this song came out I was letting my hair grow until it "stops by itself!"
😂 🤣 Good old hippy days!
Great memories!❤️
Remembering Bill Cowsill born on January 9, 1948. He was an American singer, musician, songwriter, and record producer. He was the lead singer and guitarist of The Cowsills, who had three top-10 singles in the late 1960's. From the mid-1970's until his death, he was a successful alt-country artist and producer in Canada. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Cowsill
I love them!!!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Iconic song, thank you Cowsills! 🧡This song and Ride A White Swan and Come Together have great lines on long hair.
Oh my gosh, this was hysterical!!!😂 I always loved this song!!❤❤❤❤
I think Bill and Bob Cowsill did the arrangements which are as good as anything the Beach Boys ever did. Just amazing!
Love it. Cowsills are very talented
Takes me back to my early college years ('76-'79). My first haircut in college was toward the end of my junior year.
what a great tune, just love it.
Happy Birthday John Cowsill born on March 2, 1956. He is an American musician, best known for his work as a singer and drummer with his siblings' band The Cowsills. He is currently a drummer and vocalist for The Beach Boys touring band, which features original Beach Boy Mike Love and long time member Bruce Johnston. Cowsill has also played keyboards for the "Beach Boys Band", and according to the band's website, he does Al Jardine's and the late Carl Wilson's vocal parts. He also has performed and recorded with Jan and Dean. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cowsill
@ElvisRocket88 LOL!
Wow, back from my time and I had no idea it was The Cowsills that performed it 😀
It was originally performed in the Broadway musical "Hair".
@@partridgefamilybus2021 Yup, I remember the musical but never had the chance to see it. Being a young(ish) 67, I am going back to the music that I nearly forgot about and learning a lot in the process.
@@marknesselhaus4376 You can always watch the movie.
I was just a kid when this type music was popular now I find myself at 58 listening to this genre
The inspiration for the partridge family came from this group
The original idea was to use the Cowsills themselves in the TV show but the producers insisted that their mom be played by an actress and the kids said no, so the Partridge family was invented. It would have been a much better show if they had used the Cowsills but thats Hollywood for you.
I remember this song taking over the airwaves in the late 60s. It was derived from the hit musical play "Hair" and it probably did more to drive ticket sales than anything. Even though I heard this version first, I still think the Broadway recording was better. The Cowsills embellished a couple of parts (eg. nighty-night-night) and after hearing the original they didn't seem to make sense. All I can say is that the Cowsills made it their own.
Awesome 😎
Beautiful!
Loooove this.
Wow! Just turned back the clock, THANKS!!! Can’t wait for the resurrection, so you can teach me how to part my hair(:-)
Brilliant!!!

I have seen videos and read about the Cowsills, but still can't identify the males on this video. Can someone tell me lead singer, guy with long brunette hair, guy with green neck scarf, guy with yellow headband, and final guy? Thanks for info. I wish the group was in the Rock and Roll HoF.
Billy was the lead singer here. If you want to learn more about the Cowsills watch "Family Band The Cowsills Story" by Louise Palanker. Its quite a film.
I'm letting my hair grow too. It started a RUclips channel.

@@IndependentThnkr-v7c I believe that 1969 through 1973 were the best years in the history of popular music. I even made those five playlists from RUclips videos. But you need to be careful with that independent thinking. Independent thinking usually takes us places that most never go.
Independent thinkers are looking to escape the lies that so easily entangle. Or as Solomon said, “In much Wisdom there is grief and he who increases knowledge increases sorrows.” (Ecclesiastes 1.18) True wisdom lifts the veil of youthful expectations and exposes our difficult reality.

She asked him, “Why?” Why I'm a hairy guy.
I'm hairy noon and nighty-night-night.
My hair is a fright.
I'm hairy high and low, but don't ask me why.
'Cause he don't know.
It's not for lack of bread,
Like the Grateful Dead, Darlin’.
Gimme a head with hair ─ long, beautiful hair.
Shinin’, gleamin’, streamin’, flaxen, waxen.
Give me down-to-there . . . Hair!
Shoulder-length or longer . . . Hair!
Here, Baby. There, Mama.
Everywhere, Daddy, Daddy.
Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair!
Oh! Grow it. Ah! Show it.
Ooh! Long as I can grow with my hair.
I let it fly in the breeze,
And get caught in the trees.
There’s a home for the fleas in my hair.
A home for the fleas. A hive for the buzzin' bees.
A nest for birds. There ain't no words,
For the beauty, and the splendor,
And the wonder of my . . .
Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair!
Oh! Grow it. Ah! Show it.
Ooh! Long as I can grow with my hair.
I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy.
Snaggy, shaggy, ratsy, matsy.
Oily, greasy, fleecy, shinin’.
Steamin’, gleamin’, flaxen, waxen.
Knotted, polka-dotted. Twisted, beaded, braided.
Powdered, flowered, and confettied.
Mangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied.
Oh, say! Can you see . . . my eyes?
If you can, then my hair's too short.
Down to here. Down to there. Down to there.
Down to where it stops by itself.
You'll never have to cut it,
'Cause it stopped by itself.
Oh, give me a head with hair ─ long, beautiful hair.
Shinin’, gleamin’, streamin’, flaxen, waxen.
Ah, won't you gimme down-to-there . . . Hair!
Shoulder-length or longer . . . Hair!
Here, Baby. There, Mama.
Everywhere, Daddy, Daddy.
Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair!
Oh! Grow it. Ah! Show it.
Ooh! Long as I can grow with my hair.
Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair!
Oh, grow it. Ah! Show it.
Ooh! Long as I can grow with my hair.
Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair!
Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair!
Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair! Hair!
Im six years old again
