I remembered your song The Park, but never knew you were the inspiration for The Partridge Family. I loved that song. I'm sorry for all the abuse you had to experience because of your father's alcoholism and military background. So much of that was hidden back then, even in non- famous families like mine. I'm glad you had each other and your music to weather that storm. It shows in the joy you express in your performances. The sad thing is it passes on to subsequent generations (RIP Bill, Barry, Richard). I'm glad you were able to transform that trauma and still enjoy writing and performing. Keep it up. A Fellow Adult Child. Namaste, Joe Knell

Love the way your music stands the test of time. I really appreciate discovering your deeper musical skills and talent. Love the newer music too!
I would love to see you perform live.

I loved your music from the first time I heard "Rain, the Park and Other Things" on the car radio. It was beautiful and magical. It was years before I learned you were a family group. I listen to you guys now and hope to see you perform live sometime soon. God bless you.

You were the first concert I had ever been to. My Mom took me and my sisters and a friend to the Akron Civic Theater in Akron, Ohio to see you. We were in the front row balcony. Love you guys!!!

I miss you, Cowsill family! So very happy to find you again! Hope you come back to Newport after this pandemic is over. My daughter lives there, and I will stay at her place if you come to Newport, in the hope of meeting you there. Saw you at the Brockton Fair back in the summer of ‘68 or ‘69. Loved you then, and love you all now...ALL of you, whether you are here or on the other side...LOVE NEVER DIES❤️ God bless you all!

Happiest birthday wishes Paul! YOU NEVER AGE AT ALL! I love to see you hopping from the drum platform in concert and you have tons of energy so you are definitely AGELESS. I am your biggest fan every since you came off the stage and sang I think I love you to me at the Flower Power 2018 cruise. Forever indebted for that moment in time.

You guys lived across the street from me at 888 Eighth Ave. I was 305 W. 52nd, and I delivered groceries to your building from Peter Reeves Mkt.. The doormen knew me and let me play ball in the courtyard on the ground floor. Talked to you a few times - don't remember which guys but I remember Susan. This would have been around 1968-1970.

Hi guys,

Always loved the music, I went to sign the online petition for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but the site is no longer active. Put up a new one and I'm happy to sign. Rock on!

Dr. Sabrina Rood from Edmonds, WA wrote on August 25, 2020 at 12:38 pm:

This morning I had a vivid dream of making music with the Cowsills, in a green room setting with a grand piano. I was there as a fan, I would imagine, but live music was happening and I sat down at the piano and played part of Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata (1st movement), which was already being played in the room. Some fans were there to have items signed, Barry was there--so very lighthearted, Bob, Paul, John, Susan, and Russ. Russ was acting as organizer and kept telling everyone, "We need to be on the bus by 10:22" but nobody much listened. There was a general air of frivolity and a bit of chaos. I happily stayed at the piano, and then I began to hear "Some Good Years" playing, in that in-between-sleep-and-waking place. Then I did wake up, and I realized that it's August 25th. Being the good Cowsill fan that I am, I can never forget a Cowsill birthday. All of which is to say: Happy Birthday, dear Bob! Perhaps the "Barry dream" was a bit of a hello from around the bend. Wishing you a good year ahead in spite of the pandemic. How the good shines through!

I was going through my old photos this week and I found one I had taken of your father Bill. I worked with your father for about 3 years on the Drillship Glomar Jave Sea in the late 70's and early 1980. He was Engineer and I was his oiler. I think the photo was taken at Vince Vants apt. in NOLA after crew change.
I also met your mother Barbra once on a trip to L.A. and Sana Barbara, Ca. What a Great Lady.
Bill once thought me a life lesson I carried and always remember to this day. I have also passed this on to my kids. Read ever word of anything you sign and check the wording...LOL...All it cost me was mopping half a pump room because I didn't listen to exactly how he worded something. Taking responsibility for something is not the same as doing it. Anyway Great y'all are still making music. Wish y'all the best. I wish I could post you his photo but can't here

On a whim I watched the modern day Cowsills on YouTube (Huckaby Show) and was totally blown away by the tremendous harmonies and feel good performance. I watched more and more and found the documentary which also blew me away. Thanks for such great music and staying so positive. We want to see you live!

Jerry Talbert from Eudora wrote on July 10, 2020 at 4:20 am:

I want to do an interview session with you sometime and would like to meet up with you sometime in 2021 after a vaccine is found. I was a big fan of John and wanted to become a drummer. We are all about the same age. I hope to do many more interviews with many others from the 60s.

Greetings, what a disappointment that we could not see you in Florida recently due to COVID. There are more than 1.2 million Canadians going to South Florida every winter. Would you be willing to do a concert next season dedicated to your visiting Canadians in Florida? As it happens I am a Canadian event organizer, and I would be pleased to help with this effort. Could someone from your office please respond? Phone/text: 613 - 316-4801. Cheers, Ruth-Isobel in Ottawa, Ontario

I'm 5 days younger than Susan. Enjoyed you guys at 9 years old, and still do. Learning more about The Cowsills all these years later. Life is interesting. Happy to hear the good stuff, sad about the bad, crazy, we as fans have no idea, we just know how good you are. And I still think Susan so pretty. Hope you play Phoenix, where I live now from New York. Let me know if you do.
