Hat tip, This Day in Music, but it was Bob and Dick Cowsill, not Bill and Dick Cowsill, who were the fraternal twins. Also they have the year wrong.

1950 - Bill and Dick Cowsill

Bill and Dick Cowsill, from American singing group The Cowsills, who had the 1967 US No.2 single 'The Rain, The Park & Other Things', and the 1969 US No.2 single the theme from 'Hair'. TV's Partridge Family was based on The Cowsills family.

Fri Mar 18, 2022: On March 18, 1969, the Cowsills performed "Hair" on the Wonderful World of Pizzazz TV special.

A video made for the Wonderful World of Pizzazz TV special, aired on March 18, 1969. Sorry for the logo but it arrived to me that way. As a side note, they also filmed a video as well for the song What is Happy for this special. It can be found elsewhere on YouTube.

1. What a tragic family. The dad sounds like he was a real monster. When I was a kid, I

thought that Barry was so cute. I was so sad to read that he had mental health struggles and drowned in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.

2. That came up in the search of the DU archives. It's just about the anniversary of that. NT

3. I know

that many consider this to be bubblegum etc. but I absolutely love the imagery that Artie Kornfeld and Steve Duboff created with the song. Great arrangement by Jimmy Wisner. Bill Cowsill on lead vocals.
