The Cowsills sang the original version of the TV Theme Song. Hear three of family members, on tour, sing it live. Sorry I didn't have enough memory to record the whole performance, but it's a nice clip!
I believe the Cowsills actually met the "Partridge Family" on the set and talked with them about their story and how their show was. I like the Cowsills. Wish their were more groups like them.
I'm a huge PF fan so just adding to the statements about the show/Cowsills...
First of all Screen Gems wanted a "Shirley Jones vehicle" then the idea about The Cowsills came along. Shirley was always in it, with no audition. The producers said that they "were not crazy about all of the Cowsill kids" so they auditioned and cast for the children. LOVE The Cowsills too, so thanks for posting this!
I love this song from the show. I wish you could of got more footage of them but am not upset. I remember this show as a young girl. I was born in 1963 and remember it like it was yesterday and watched it all the time. Thanks for this great post on YouTube.
The real reason I heard was that the network wanted Shirley Jones to play their mother on the show, and they said no for they wanted to use their own mother.
it didn't work out because the Cowsill kids insisted that their mother be able to play herself. Shirly jones was already cast in the part. neither side budged, so , the deal fell thru. the rest as they say, is history.

I love how Susan just holds the guitar without playing it.

In the 90's, Billy Cowsill was in a great country rock band called "The Blue Shadows". Videos up now from their O.O.P. (out of print) albums.
Quality stuff!
