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.

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!

Part of the story apparently is they wanted to do it about the Cowsills. But wanted to replace Barbara Cowsill with Shirley Jones. From what I gather, things fell apart from there and only Shirley remained.

To hear the complete version of "Love American Style, turn over The Cowsills' final hit single, 1969's "Silver Thread and Golden Needles." There you'll find it in its full-length glory.

It's also on the seventies volume of Tube Tunes by Rhino.
