The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

Absolutely amazing live performance. No recorded track or lip syncing here. Just pure talent. Listen to the audience reaction as the song ends. Gives me chills.
Do you know anybody knows where I can find the sheet music for the rain to park and other things please let me know. I wanna play this song and can help me out of anybody. Speak soon please let them know.
Are you sure about that? If they were lip synching they did a good job but it's clear that the young man on bass is not playing.
On Sullivan's show most acts mimed to a recorded backing track, but the vocals, at least the lead vocals, would be live. You can tell the kids playing bass and drums aren't really playing.
This is one of the best feel good songs ever. You can’t help but smile when you hear this song. The 60s truly was the best era of music.
Yup, I'll drink to that.
100%
Even being a Millennial, I couldn’t agree more. Beautiful music behind great talents!
There's some kind of magic in this song.. makes me feel young again 😊
I can't get enough of Bill's voice.
Yes, what a smooth sound
either me
well... it wasnt live so
19 years old and I have a thing for old bands. I came across this song late 2022. This band was and still is one of the most talented bands I've ever come across. It saddens me that this father ruined so much for these great funny and talented artists. Even though 1-3 members passed I still hope they get the recognition they deserve. May god bring them lots of success for the time they are here.
So glad to see someone your age who appreciates these old bands. I am a college professor, and I get thrilled at how many of my students love 70s music.
That’s about the time I found this song. The day I first heard it I went to the record store and found the 45
5 year old Susan Cowsill playing off-beats on tambourine is still better than most musicians these days. Love the whole band. Poor mom didn't even want to be there.
But bless her heart. Her voice was so beautiful ❤️
She was actually 8 and a half.
But she adapted and overcame.
@@multisplace3783 Still, keeping time on the tambourine while dancing and singing is quite a feat for that age!
@@Mr.56Goldtop Agreed.
The inspiration for The Partridge Family.
thats right
The talent of this group was undeniably off the charts I would've liked to see how far they could've gone if not for their sadistic psycho father...
As a member of the group " Continental Drifters" in the 90's Susan wrote a song called "Spring Day In Ohio" dealing with her childhood and her father.
Right
Oh yes indeed! I love them still. This song especially defined the 1970s. Susan's dancing was fantastic for such a small child.
I've got this video up several times. I love thier sound. It's horribly sad they weren't able to keep making music. I could just imagine how far they would have went..
I know that those were different times, and I suspect that the family was Irish Catholic, but why didn't the mother just leave him and take her kids with her? She certainly had the money to do so at that point, that is, unless everything was in the father's name.
One of the quintessential sunshine pop songs of the era. An absolute classic!
Go look up them doing "Hair!"
I won't lie...I used to sing along with this song in 67' when I was still in elementary school.
I was in Kindergarden.
@@forsakenjones4695 Me too, and I loved all the flower girls in my class.
I got this album for Christmas in 1969 when I was 9 and yes I also loved to sing to this and I still listen to it to it from time to time !
0:16 There's something about this part right here that I really like. I don't know why.
Billy Cowsill R.I.P. Thanks for the beautiful memories of a better happier time... You were such a great talent, so humble, very down to earth kinda guy... Still lovin' your voice all these years!!! Your spirit is very much alive man, Billy Cowsill, may you rest in eternal peace, you are not forgotten, you were the heart and soul of The Cowsills back then...
Very good!
So glad we have these to listen to over n over 🎶
Perfectly said😊so true..
first class drummer
John Cowsill, played drums for the touring Beach Boys for many years ! Sings GREAT too !
@@leannmeixner8073 but didn't play on this actual record. None of them did, they just sang.
@@tcanders123 That was most of the groups in the 60's. Beach Boys, Monkees, The Byrds. They play live here and they are just kids.
Such a talented family!
It’s crazy how just ONE person could ruin so much for them..
Their dad did not deserve this family.
masterpiece and very underrated! i am 26 as of now but i prefer the old music!
There's more to like, more variety.
The novelty that they were a real family obscured the fact that they were a talented band with some very good songs.
lol..it was the novelty that obscured the fact that they could not sing
@@jadezee6316 More Bieber fans?
@@jadezee6316are you slow
Such a very talented and underrated group. Writing their own songs, playing their own instruments. They DEFINITELY belong in the Hall of Fame. Who decides on some of the shit they let in and not the ones who deserve it.
Sorry, they didn't write this or play on it. They did the vocals ... which are great!
Little Susan, so precious ❤️
This group was one of the best in harmony and live performances. Mom had a lovely voice and the youngest boy John really showed his chops on that drum kit!
plays with the beach boys now
Drums for the beach boys now
Mom being there ruined the act
Não entendi
He may have later, but none of them played on the record, & he sure wasn't playing the drums live here!
This song makes me feel young again..
I met several members of the band, all of them are terrific especially the daughter. She is so friendly with the fans
Yes, she does go out of her way to talk to the fans
sign of class - nods to their stellar Mother 🌼
I think that's because she never let their stardom go to her head, like a lot of them do. very humble.. now with that said let's go back to 1967..

👁💖Susan Cowsill
The drummer (John Cowsill?) is rock solid and drives the band. I forgot how good he was.
Exactly!! He now is a fixture with one of the bands that tours as The Beach Boys!
YES He Was A GREAT Drummer. All Of Them Were Skilled.
He still is. He drums for the Beach Boys.
The Cowsills are a great example of the power of music.
It is hard to believe that behind these wonderful, joyful vocals and harmonies, this wonderful family was abused by a tyrannical father!
William "Bud" Cowsill managed the family and treated them with contempt and eventually squandered their earnings through bad investments.
RIP WILLIAM "BILLY" COWSILL JR.
Not to mention that he molested Susan. He was just a miserable human being.
It's an absolutely fab arrangement. The vocals were always so good with this group.
One of the most perfect pop songs of all time
The harmonies on there, I dare say are even more solid than the actual recording. The amount of groove going on is just off the chart. Ahead of its time, even today.
Amazed at how great they sounded .. Not an easy song to reproduce Live because of its brilliant studio production !!
the live version was the best anyway
It was over produced in the studio, like they were singing from a well, oh well, sold a lot of records
I've been searching for my Flower Girl for 10 years!
Your a bit late they were in San Fransisco with the Hippies and at Woodstock in 1969
One of the absolute favorite songs from my childhood, and I still love it at age 67...
Absolutely nailed it! Most underrated band ever! Not an easy arrangement to play live!
This wasn't live except for some of the vocals.
I don't know what it is about this song but I can't stop listening to it. Great tune
This is one of my favorite songs of the late '60's, and it's a shame that most of the song footage turned out to be unusable because of the problem with the mics. I do agree with another comment in that you should post the rehearsal footage, because I too have heard that there were no problems with the audio in that one.
Sadly typical of the Sullivan crew. Butchered a lot of music.
Thanks for the explanation, I was wondering why only half the song is here.
@@d.a.elliottjr.367 You're welcome!
It’s hard to beat family harmony.
Jesus H, they sound great and can play, and live too! more than I can say for today's stuff.
Great song, but they didn't write it, they didn't play on it, and they weren't live on this show. (Very few acts ever were.)
one of the ultimate flower power generation songs. I met the 80s equivalent to a flower girl and we had a great summer 1985
Of all songs that exist, the above one lives forever in my heart. Fresh. Optimistic. Joyful.
You wonder why Susan is the musician she is today? Indeed she has a better intrinsic beat there than many musicians today.
Over five decades later I still have a crush on John.
Yes, The Cowsills was the concept for TV's "The Partridge Family"(1970-'74), Little Tracy Partridge playing the tambourine just like little Susan Cowsill..😊
love Love LOVE The Cowsills ~ so happy to have them back out there!
The drummer and Bass player are so handsome!
Oy. I can't listen to this enough ~ even if itz only the end of the song =:)))
Just enjoying watching Sue on the tambourine, missing the rest on the 2nd chorus but not on the 1st 3rd or last💪
What a song!
Simpler times. I find myself going to tnis song a lot lately. Amazingly talented band👍❤
❤👍진짜 명곡임
I love the flower girl too.🙂
I remember this song brings back old memories.
Beautiful song. Beautiful harmonies! They were so talented!! 🥰🥰🥰
Billy Cowsill was the coolest!
What a Voice! What Charisma!
Rest In Eternal Peace ~
Billy Cowsill.
Barry, rest well in a better Dimension.
You were a sweetheart .
Barry Cowsill 9/1954 ~ 9/2005
I wish o could post a picture of shoes i tie dyed for my niece and put
I love the flower girl/ sweet and kind/ flowers in her hair / flowers everywhere awith flowers and hearts on em. They’re beautiful. Just a small tribute to a beautiful melldy❤❤❤
Good recovery with the tambourine, Susan. Never beat on 1 and 3!!
Good catch! I saw that too.
Such a Warm-Hearted Song & a very Groovy Family Band😄🥇🇺🇸‼️
THE WHOLE VIDEO PLEASE, PLEASE!!!
Forget the flower 🌼 girl 👧
I 💖SUSAN😍😍😍😍
Good vibes, very happy sunshine pop song
Leader, Lead Vocalist and Guitarist Bill Cowsill was so talented and very charismatic!
He was obviously a good and decent man.
I wish he laid off the junk
What an amazing quality song can't stop playing it
What a beautiful song this is! God’s beautiful creation…mesmerizing.
Amazing band!
Such great talented people
John on drums was incredible
All were great
Adorable , beautiful memory
Bring tears to my eyes
They were the inspiration for the partridge family.
Great moment of music. Love it!
Captures the flower power ethos of 1967 that was happening on the West Coast. Meanwhile, cities in America were burning with Newark and Detroit having gone up in flames that July. This was also recorded a few months before the very nationally tragic year of 1968. John Cowsill totally kills it on drums. Good job, man.
They were/are a great band. Vocals are amazing and they played ,wrote. And they can make other bands music and sound so good. They did go through hell. But on the positive side they were a gift to all of us. Still performing, amazing. And they have their kids perform as well. What great youthful memories their music gives me. Lost a few of my siblings as well..including a special sister who really exposed me to the cowsills. Thanks for the music and memories all cowsills. You werr a part of my youth, very special part. Bless you all!!! Rock on kids✌️👍🌹☮️
I was 11...in 67
I have always marveled at this song....it’s a complex work...mom and son and kids
Mom was attractive fit woman...man America used to have beautiful people
America had self respect back then. Now everyone is fat ugly and tattooed to the max
The Original Partridge Family...Love it!
Little sister is my favorite here!
Pretty phenomenal when you think about it. They were the inspiration to make the show The Partridge Family.
yes....we know!
They are a great family and should be in the Rock and Roll of Fame ! Susan has a very pretty voice ! Thank you very much for all the lovely awesome videos of my favorite singers groups and skits !
Uno de mis grupos favoritos. Qué hermosa canción para escuchar uba y mil veces.
They were good but not anywhere close to the hall of fame
no. Steppenwolf deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Deep Purple deserves to be. The Guess Who deserves to be. There are lots that have been left off that deserve to be.
Look up the song "Now and Then" by the Smithereens...backing vocals by the Cowsills. Unmistakably awesome.
I love this song!!!
That's live baby🎶 Sounds pretty good to me🎶
post the whole clip! that was the beauty of a live show no need to hide it
EXACTLY! Why do the people who run these channels think they need to rewrite or fix history. Allow us to relive the 60s just as it was.
Agreed. Enough is enough.
Problems with copyright with Sullivan?
@@huskyjerk - A muted microphone is not copyrighted. LOL
@@shyman99 But you may not be allowed to play the whole bit due to copyright with Sullivan.
Melody, lyrics, a great musical chord progression and vocal arrangement. A true classic of the era, gone but not forgotten...God Bless America.
This was a MASSIVE song/performance in '67 - it permeated everywhere.
OMG. I grew up listening to this at the radio.
Very good live performance. The boy on drums is excellent.
I have always absolutely loved this song and the Cowsills. Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
If you listen to the studio version there's a lot of Beach Boys Pet Sounds era influence on that song.
Composers Artie Kornfeld and Steve Duboff originally called the song "The Flower Girl". The record producer thought the title was to similar to Scott McKenzie's "San Francisco(Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair)" so Kornfeld changed it. The record went to #2 on the Billboard Top 100 in 1967 which tied "Hair" as The Cowsills biggest selling single.
Bill Cowsill had a wonderful voice. What a talented family. So sad about Bill and, especially, Barry.
I need to know more about them!! Where are they know! I love this song 🤍
They were a destroyed family with incest, alcoholism and parental brutality. It's very sad what happened to the Cowsills.
I only wish we had the entire length of the song posted. Maybe Ed Sullivan productions can do so. That would be great!
There's another version which is uploaded, rehearsal?, with limited cameras but the entire performance is included!
Sounds great!
@@RaulMacias-o9o Thank you, I do know that. However, the picture and sound quality are not as good in the rehearsal clip.
@@JohnJohn-w8n I read somewhere that something went wrong during the actual "Live" performance.
Is that so?
@@RaulMacias-o9o not that I am aware of but that might be the reason the entire live performance has not been posted
@@JohnJohn-w8n I read that the Cowsills father was giving the Producers and cameramen a difficult time trying to inject his point of view of how the show should be taped!
Que hermosa canción 💕🤩💕🤩💕
This is really good! Hearing them live like this tells you how talented they were. I saw their performances on Hefner’s late night show in the early 70s, and they were really good there. Shame how things end up.
Ah Jim Carry. We love you ❤️ 😭
@luizdossantospereira7326 Yes brother.. thanks for your comment. I watched this song again.sweet memories ❤️👍🏻
This song is lowkey a bop.
The Cowsills were burnin'!
I read where Billy Cowsill and Robert Cowsill would study The Beatles three part harmonies.
It is quite evident that they listened intently!
Wow!
What Harmonies!
So cool to see them perform this great song live!
Good tune that reflects the innocence of the early years of flower power but my favorite Cowsills tune will always be Hair.
Awesome live video! The recording is great. You can separate and hear each member's part of the song.
The rhythm section - drums and bass--
are an 11 year old drummer , and a 14 year old bass player.
That's right, 11 and 14.. Imagine the pressure. Love them.
Barry, rest well in a better Dimension, You were a sweetheart . Barry Cowsill 9/1954 ~ 9/2005
Barry the bass player wasn't 14. He had just turned 13 here.
Adorables literalmente
Flores por todos lados
Susan was and is so pretty!
My very favorite song from childhood 🌼📀
What a great family!!!
It can’t get any better than this !
Little Susan was great on the tambo. Really good!
he really love them drums
Ed Sullivan demanded live performances on his show. Ok, Bang! There you go! Cracking performance.
