In 1965, The Cowsills released their very first single, “All I Really Wanna Be Is Me”, on the Joda label. The record generated very little response until an appearance on NBC’s The Today Show<\/span>. After this appearance, the group signed with Mercury Records and released three singles in 1966: “Most of All \/ Siamese Cat”, “Party Girl \/ What’s It Gonna Be Like” and “A Most Peculiar Man \/ Could It Be, Let Me Know”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon signing with MGM in 1967, The Cowsills had their first million-selling single, \u201cThe Rain, the Park and Other Things\u201d (often referred to as The Flower Girl Song) which was featured in the Jim Carrey movie, Dumb and Dumber<\/span>. \u201cIndian Lake\u201d and \u201cWe Can Fly\u201d followed in the summer of 1968. In 1969, The Cowsills had their biggest hit, the multi-million selling title song from the musical \u201cHair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cowsills signed with London records in 1970 and released their On My Side<\/em> album followed by two single releases in 1971: “You (In My Mind) \/ Crystal Claps” and “Covered Wagon \/ Blue Road”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill, Paul, and Barry formed a band called Bridey Murphy in 1974 and this band released one single, “The Time Has Come \/ Be Your Mother’s Son”, which features Paul Cowsill on all vocals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the late 1970s, The Cowsills again regrouped and recorded an album which was affectionately dubbed Cocaine Drain<\/em> which was not released at that time but was available as a digital download for a time and was recently re-mastered and is now available at Omnivore Recordings titled The “Cocaine Drain” Album<\/em>. This album was produced by Chuck Plotkin who left the project to help produce and engineer for Bruce Springsteen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1990, The Cowsills again had regrouped and went back into the studio and recorded Global<\/em>. Global <\/em>was sold exclusively on The Cowsills’ web site and has since gone out of print, however it can still be purchased in digital format from iTunes and other digital sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, The Cowsills are back with new music for the new world, Rhythm Of The World,<\/em> with eleven brand new songs written by the band, a digital Christmas EP, A Christmas Offering from The Cowsills,<\/em> the re-mastered re-release of Global<\/em>, and a re-mastered release of The “Cocaine Drain” Album<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
