The Cowsills, the celebrateed, popular singing family, will star in their own special on the NBC Television Network Saturday (preempting "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir"). The Cowsills will sing songs from their large repertoire of hit tunes and folk ballads.
Less than a year ago, the Cowsills were little known outside of their hometown Newport, R.I. They were discovered by Leonard Stogel, their currentmanager, and made their network television debut on the Ed Sullivan show, Oct. 27, 1967.
Last February, the clan was featured in a two-hour special on NBC-TV's "Today" show. Since then they have toured the world, recorded several bestselling album, including their latest, "Captain Sad and His Ship of Fools."
Bud Cowsill, a 20-year Navy man nowretired, organized the group which features his wife and six of their seven children. The on-stage Cowsills consist of Bill, 20; Bob, 18; Paul, 16; Barry, 13; Johnny, 11; Susie, 8, and their mother, Barbara. Dick, who is Bob's twin, and the singers' former road manager, is now in the army.
The seven Cowsills appear on this week's cover; Bill is missing in the picture above.
