@MelodiousMusician - i don't have Heaven held digitized but i vaguely remember it being the B side on one of their 45s. If i find it, i'll post it ....may take some time but i'll let ya know when i do. K?
I am pretty sure it was Bill singing lead here. He was the lead for a few years until his dad kicked him out for alleged bad behavior and he went on his song. Sang with other bands until his death 2/2006.
I saw The Cowsills in concert 4 times between 1968 and 1970. "What Is Happy (Baby)?" is still one of my fave Cowsills tracks! Great video you made. Love the rare early pics!
Look...i like the Cowsills too...but lets not get ridiculous. The Cowsills do NOT belong in the R&R Hall of Fame. In fact..the Hall of Fame is already starting to let in some second tier groups that do not belong their. When a third tier bubblegum group like the Cowsills gets in..then its time to close the doors and turn out the lights. Their putting ABBA in there this year...which is bad enough! But atleast ABBA has the hits and record sales to justify some sort of POP honor award.
To each his own - you are certainly entitled to your opinion BUT many disagree and will continue to try to get the Cowsills in the rock & roll hall of fame.
Atomic3939 is out of his mind. The short lived success of the Cowsills has nothing to do with their incredible talent. "Third tier bubblegum group"....please!
There's nothing "bubblegum" about their musical talent, song writing accomplishments, inspirations for TV shows, etc. "Johnny Cash said it well: "You folks are the most talented family I've ever met."
Johnny Cash doesn't pay compliments like that to "third tier" groups.
Excellent video...loved the tune! Wish you had used more photos with Susan in them...but you are doing some great stuff here sleepinggypsy! Keep up the great commission on promoting the Cs to the masses!!
Brilliant song

I love this group, and this song! I think my favorite, though, would have to be Heaven Held--which isn't on YouTube. Go figure.

i'm not totally 100% sure - but it sounds like Bill - he usually sang lead.
