Oh wow! I was there at this concert that night! Great concert there and l got to see them in concert and meet them a few years after that after a "Happy Together" concert in Effingham, Illinois. Great folks everyone of them! So patient and giving of their time, autographs, and photographs. Great memories!
Absolute pros. They've been performing together for 55 years?? And still sound so great. AND having FUN doing it even after singing this song a million times onstage. Impressive.
Too bad their Dad ruined everything for them!! I can relate and when I watched the documentary about their life’s stories, I was moved to tears for them and myself. The loss of the childhood dream. 😭😭😭
Growing up in this time period, it amazes me how much attention was paid to the length of ones hair. You could be an outcast or a hero just based on the length of your hair.
What's MORE amazing is how it's not such a big deal anymore. Or some other things that used to be upsetting - like tattoos or piercing; even WEIRD piercings. It's even become REALLY bad manners to mention them, even really bad tattoos(or piercings).
I was elementary age when this song came out. My older brothers both had long hair, and my conservative parents did not like it. But they let them keep it long. I think this song was the beginning of my obsession with men with long hair. I ended up marrying a guy with beautiful, curly shoulder-length hair, but once he got a "real job" in corporate America, he had to cut it. Devastated me. (Thankfully he's good-looking even with short hair.) I will always love 1985-7 Bono for his hair (and his voice and songs, and -- well, I just love Bono), and the Christian artist Phil Joel who has the most gorgeous long blonde hair I've ever seen on a dude.
Man when I was a kid and this song played I just listened! It would keep me still and think time has gone so fast it seems like I’m going backwards now!
You are absolutely correct about that. I played bass and sang for 2 sisters and 2 sets of brothers, who were nearly indistinguishable as to what parts they were singing. The timber is identical.
They recorded a great version of this song and still do it very well. Got to sing this in a stage presentation of Hair at our junior college theater. Our arrangement was a bit different than this one but still sounded great. Had to learn parts to 26 songs in a few weeks. Lots of work but a great show to do. Great musical.
I have to make just one more comment their vocals are just second to none I just love their Harmony they're harmonizing so it gets to me it's awesome especially after I heard that song when I believe just recently cuz I have never used the smartphone before I just blew my mind I knew I knew it had to come from the Lord love you love you love you!!
I'm Susan's age. I remember this song back in the day. I wanted to grow my hair long after hearing it, but my dad said NO. I finally got my long hair when I was in high school. Now, I wish I had that hair. 🤣
It does justice to their original version. I played the hell out of that thing when I was growing up. I had shoulder-length hair. My sister still considers herself 100% 'Hippy'.
Não consigo ver THE COWSILLS sem chorar ! 😢😢💔 ! Desde jovem, nos anos 60, fui e sou apaixonada pelo sucesso THE RAIN, THE PARK AND OTHER THINGS! Um Grupo tão jovem e harmoniosissimo! Mais tarde, outra grande surpresa: HAIR! Eu lamento o que aconteceu com os irmãos maravilhosos e NUNCA vou esquecer deles enquanto eu viver! Gratidão infinita por tão belos momentos de uma ARTE DE ALTÍSSIMO NÍVEL! 🎼🙆🎶🙌🎶🙇🎶🙏🎼🙌🎼🙌🎼🙏💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 😢❤! Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil! 💚💛💙💚💛💙💚
Oh thanks, great to be reminded of this great musica "Hair" l. Changed lives that one did. Mine anyway :). Going to listen to the original broadway cast right now. Frank Mills .. such a pretty song
Interesting story about this group. Being a Australian did know much about them, Americans watched them grow up on variety TV shows and basically is what the partridge family TV show was based on. The oldest boy wanted his own rock band. But the record company stuck in his mum, which he hated, bad family management etc . Watching some video on them the now. I never knew they had this hit and the the park song. Interesting
They were the perfect group for that amazing era known as the 1960s.

I was thinking the same thing. I love their new music too !!
Susan looks fantastic and the band sounds AWESOME!!
Could this be because she is from the great state of O H I O ?
@@jeffreymcfadden9403They are from Rhode Island.
Yes she does.
@@jeffreymcfadden9403 No.
Susan was actually born in Canton, Ohio, and then they moved to Newport, RI.
Those were the days. I'm glad we can revive them occasionally. Thank Cowsill family.
Omgosh does this bring back so many wonderful memories. It’s a shame what their dad did to them.
It truly is. A sad story. Such talent in this family.
When they sing in chorus it sounds like 100 people. Always had to me. What an amazing group of musicians.
One of the greatest singles ever recorded.
“ This family was born with perfect pitch.”
Too bad their Dad ruined everything for them!! I can relate and when I watched the documentary about their life’s stories, I was moved to tears for them and myself. The loss of the childhood dream. 😭😭😭
It was very sad to see what happened to them. Incredibly talented.
1971 Met Bill C in our Queens Apartments Laundromat he played Indian Lake and HAIR foe me and my little Brother! So nice of him! RIP!

They still sound so good
Beautiful harmony!!!!
People from the same family tend to create the best harmony.
Love the Cowsills. Always appreciate their beautiful harmonies. 😊
Loved watching them here in Branson MO. last year! Such a blast!
This performance was amazing. Absolute perfection in the harmonies, timing and energy. I love it.
I loved their music then - still do today. Thank you Cowsills
Wowie! I was “Tex” back in 1967. The Haight Ashbury was my home!!

@@josephhewes3923 why?
Oh, how I love listening to this family. I'm old enough to remember when they were still a new band being played on the radio.
LUV IT ❣❣ BRING IT ON ❣❣ I'M 62 FROM ARIZONA/USA. LIVED IT & STILL LUV IT ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🤍❣ GOD BLESS ❣
Loved this group . Thank you Cowsills beautiful voices
Stunning harmony!😱
Only siblings can have this kind of harmonies. Incredible!
You are absolutely correct about that. I played bass and sang for 2 sisters and 2 sets of brothers, who were nearly indistinguishable as to what parts they were singing. The timber is identical.
@@susanwelsh9068, and the lumber is too!
At 67 I still live by this song! Yeah, some songs will change your life and the ponytail to the middle of my back shows it:)
I remember this when I was 16 years old. It’s a shame Barry died in the New Orleans hurricane/floods.🙏🏼
The cowsills were the first group I saw in my youth about 1966.
A blast from the past!
They seem genuinely happy performing. What an infectious positive energy bet they are fun to watch live.
I ENJOYED THIS GROUP...THE MEMORIES...HAIR AND THE RAIN THE PARK AND OTHER THINGS...JUST TUCKED AWAY IN MY HEART...
Great! And Susan still has those same cool moves!
Love the energy!!!
Great music
Mind-blowingly great! I love their harmony and free spirits!
I LOVED that! All the energy is still there!
I been digging these guys since the 60s.
Great to see them again! ❤

The Cowsills are fabulous! So much sound comes out of the three Cowsills. Amazing.

I was 15 that year and I loved this song! 1969
love love love you cowsills

Love Susan. She was cute as a little girl, and pretty nice as a woman. Love you Susan.
She looks great for about 60 year old woman.
Wow! Great performance!
The harmonies are fantastic!
this is my favorite Cowsills song!!
Love these guys!
Their performance just makes me smile! Love those days!
Damn they are good!
How lovely! This is kind of song that never dies! Classic!
One of my all time favorite songs!!
0:24 Yes, Susan, that's literally what he just said.
Check out Susan's duet with Dean Martin when she was 10. Wow what a life!!!
Yes. Was real cute!
They sound amazing!
Oh thanks, great to be reminded of this great musica "Hair" l. Changed lives that one did. Mine anyway :). Going to listen to the original broadway cast right now. Frank Mills .. such a pretty song
They sound GREAT!! ❤️
Susan’s outfit is adorable
Susan has always been adorable…check out her in 1967….then search for her duet on the Dean Martin show. Talk about precious.
Love this song and The Cowsills
They are still great!
love the fun love the sound ❤ the 😍

They have some interesting lyrics, too. Captain Sad & his Ship of Fools for example.
Absolutely great.
Cowsills are Entertainingly Marvelous!! specially Susan!
Omg. I had a crush on Susan when I was a teenager.
I love the Cowsills.❤
That was bomb azz!
To think that at one time ('m the same age as Susan) my two favorite songs were this and Barry Saddler's "The Green Beret"!
Underrated.
Fantástico, continuam com a mesma força...
OMG I'm in love with Susan
Fantastic!!
Excellent!!!!
If only I had some!
Harmony that only blood family can produce!
I miss songs with actual story lyrics. Most songs these days are the same few words over and over.
Love ❤
I own this song on a vinyl '45 record.
Cool!
Brilliant
oh my God that's stuffs too good
Live sounds good so hard to do this group sb in rr h f such talent
THIS sure beats the Rap Crap we hear today.... Music at it's best.
Let's see.....NBC? FOX ? CNN? F//uk that --- THIS is what I love, need, crave.
Most people watching FOX can dig this
susan finally blossomed praise the Lord funky lady for sure/
Oh my, a Peavey amp on stage!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍😃
My wife's maiden name was Flowers, so I sing it: "I love the Flowers girl"
