Ralph Boyd Johnson has just finished his new cd 1723 which is the place he lived at along with Billy Cowsill. On this disk is Billy singing Vagabound!!
I ben fortunate to meet Billy a few times whenever he was in Toronto playing with the Blue Shawdows and he was such a nice man most of us will never see the likes of again especially a man whose passion was music. My one moment of Billy Happen at the Horseshoe Tavern when he asked a few people from the audience to do back up nadclaps on Run Run Rudolph and I glady got to do it and he could tell I was right into the song. RIP Billy. it's been five years but I'll never forget you.
I met Billy at the Fairview pub in Vancouver,he was friendly and said it was only a job when I told him it must be great to play for a living in such a great band.RIP Billy.
Hi. I too worked with Billy often and I can tell you that as good as his talent as a singer always showed. Working with him in the studio doing harmonies is when you could see that he was in deed not just good but a GREAT vocalist. I will miss him always. Kevin Dunn.
I worked with him MANY times and (you will probably not believe this) I talked to him the nite' before he died and the last words I said to him were: 'Billy, I luv' ya', man".
(just as he was tellin', me; "Wolf, I gotta' go, my supper's gettin' cold")!!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting. I am a fan. I always enjoyed going to see him live.....sadly, I only got into his music for his last two cds that he did when he lived in Vancouver before he left for Alberta (I believe). He definitely had a gift.
"Vagabond" is such a beautiful song. If I could pick a favorite of Billy's songs (I can't), this would be right up there. I love this version, it's lovely. Thanks for sharing it with us! Long live the music!
awesome Ginny Gin! now we really got a Billy Cowsill songs kinda club going on here on youtube! Billy was singing really awesome on this! such a pure voice. As far as I'm concerned, he's a real cutie in this pic too! Cheers!

Ya' know folks:
I have a hard time goin' to these sites of Billy.
I worked with him MANY times and (you will probably not believe this) I talked to him the nite' before he died and the last words I said to him were: 'Billy, I luv' ya', man".
(just as he was tellin', me; "Wolf, I gotta' go, my supper's gettin' cold")!!!!!!!!
Those words haunt me to this day.
(I'll swear to this on my mothers grave)
