In late 1965, the Cowsills were hired as a regular act on Bannisters Wharf in Newport, where they sang Beatles songs hour after hour. A handful of singles were released on JODA Records and Philips Records in 1965 and 1966, to only modest success. After Leonard Stogel took over management of the band, he got them signed to MGM Records in 1967. Barbara, who would become known to their fans affectionately as "Mini-Mom" due to her diminutive stature, joined the group just in time to record the band's first album, including the hit single "The Rain, The Park & Other Things" with Bill on lead vocals. It sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold record. Shortly thereafter the band was expanded, yet again, to include siblings Susan and Paul. In 1968, the band scored another million-selling hit with the song "Indian Lake" which reached No.10 on the US charts. In 1969, the band had another No.2 US hit and million seller with their version of the title song from the musical Hair. With the success of "The Rain...", the band quickly became a popular act in the U.S., and achieved significant airplay in England and other parts of Europe. "The Rain, The Park and Other Things" reached No.2 on the Billboard Hot 100. PLEASE EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS. CHECK MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR LP'S FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION.
