[edit] Additional information please

About time someone got around to fleshing this Wiki entry out. Please add anything else that's been left out, especially any more pertinant info regarding their TV appearances in the 60's, and especially anything on the TV special. And since Bob Cowsill admittedly visits Wikipedia frequently, his input will of course be welcome!

[edit] Writing Style

Emotive, point of view style writing has been removed or altered from this article. Some of these alterations were made under the "Deaths and Tragedys" heading. This header has also been reduced to simply "Deaths", despite the tragic circumstances surrounding the events of Hurricane Katrina. No offence is intended towards the band members families or their fanbase -bernie_bernbaum | talk to me here 13:28, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citation Needed Removed

The "citation needed" tag regarding the Cowsills/Partridge Family issue over who would play the band's mother was removed. This is a known fact that the Cowsills have discussed repeatedly over their career, most specifically on a Joan Rivers appearance in 1990.

[edit] Citation needed for influence from Beatles?

Starting in 1964, the Beatles were immensely popular to anyone involved in pop music. This, and the fact that the Cowsills' music is similar in style to the Beatles and the music they inspired, is enough to justify that they were influenced by the Beatles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.131.218.9 (talk) 01:54, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Album Lineups

You can't help but give Bob credit.. He has been a part of every incarnation of the Cowsills from the very beginning!

I wonder if anyone has noticed that there were only two separate occasions where The Cowsills lineup didn't change:

Cowsills & Lincoln Park Zoo: Original lineup (Bill, Bob, Barry & John)
The Cowsills: Barbara added
We Can Fly: Susan added
Captain Sad..: Paul added
Best Of... [same lineup as above]
..In Concert [same lineup as Captain Sad]
II x II: Bill left
On My Side: [same lineup as above]
Covered Wagon: Susan, Barbara and Paul left; Bill returned
Cocaine Drain: Bob, Paul, Barry, John & Susan reunite (I'm not including others)
Global: Bob, Paul, John & Susan reunite
