Back in the 1960's, four brothers who wanted to be The Beatles formed a band called The Cowsills. The original Cowsills consisted of Bill on guitar, Bob on guitar and organ, Barry on bass and John on drums. The Cowsills enjoyed great success during the late 60's and in to the very early 70's not only with their music but appearing as guests on many television shows and even hosting their own TV special. They added Barbara, Susan and Paul to the band. The family lost Barry to Hurricane Katrina and Billy passed away from health complications not long after. Today, the surviving Cowsills continue to make music - sometimes individually and sometimes together - and their harmonies are still as infectious and bright as ever.
