Who of our generation wasn't a Bobby Sherman fan? Probably few and far between. The Cowsills and Bobby Sherman crossed paths at least once. On May 21, 1994, the Cowsills were playing a benefit for the Police Department and in the audience was Bobby Sherman. Bobby joined them on stage and they all sang "Julie, Do You Love Me?"
John posted a video commenting as follows: "I'm sad Bobby Sherman passed away. We don't last forever. It's really a short time. Everybody is passing away, and we will too. So love big, forgive quick, do the best you can. I loved Bobby Sherman though. He was so cool. I remember The Cowsills got to play with him, back him up, in his police uniform, at the Police Academy in Los Angeles. That was really cool. He kind of didn't want to do it, but he did. It was awesome, anyway. Bobby Sherman. Peace, love and Bobby Sherman.

Bobby Sherman, a 1960s teen idol and pop star-turned-public servant, has died. He was 81.
Sherman's wife, Brigitte Poublon Sherman, and actor-musician John Stamos, who was an ambassador for the Sherman's charity, announced his death in a June 24, Instagram announcement. "From one ex teen idol, to another - rest in peace Bobby Sherman," Stamos wrote.
"It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Bobby Sherman," Poublon wrote. "Bobby left this world holding my hand - just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace through all 29 beautiful years of marriage."
In late March, Poublon shared that her husband had been diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney cancer and later told Fox News that his body was "shutting down" because the cancer had "spread everywhere."
Born in 1943 in Santa Monica, California, Sherman's career kicked off with his dueling talents.
In 1964, "Rebel Without a Cause" actor Sal Mineo invited him to sing at a Hollywood party attended by high-powered industry types. The appearance led to Sherman signing with an agent and landing a TV role on ABC's "Shindig!" as a house singer and member of the cast.
While Sherman had been recording music since the early '60s, it was 1969's "Little Woman," a gold-certified No. 3 hit in the U.S., and the string of hits that followed – "La La La (If I Had You)," "Easy Come, Easy Go," "Hey, Mister Sun" and "Julie, Do Ya Love Me" among them – that earned Sherman his pop credentials.
