Fun music just to listen to; ........................................................................................................................

[Flycatcher]

Fun song.

Bad teeth.

[FreeReign]

Flowers everywhere?

[Fiji Hill]

In the fall of ‘67, you could hear that on 50,000-watt KRLA at 1110 kilocycles. It would have also been on Boss Radio 93 KHJ’s playlist.

Artie Kornfeld went on to produce Woodstock in 1969. Great tune.

[Flycatcher]

Flowers in her hair.

that led me to another song i haven't heard in over thirty years... Every Mothers' Son-Allison Dozer

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

I haven’t heard that in a long time. I was in 4th grade at the time.

"Every Mothers' Son-Allison Dozer....hey I haven't heard that one in a very long time thanks...

[Chode]

yup... i love these old song threads

[Lancey Howard]

I still listen to this song often. I grew up with these songs.
Here’s the Cowsills doing the same song (acoustic) in 2008. Not bad for forty-plus years later:

Great song...But the story of The Cowsills is a sad one to say the least.

[Lancey Howard]

I liked ‘Come On Down To My Boat’. I’m sure I still have the 45 somewhere.

[virgil283]

just as you said that lead to this song.... I LOVE YOU / THE ZOMBIES

Two of the brothers and their mom have passed. One brother died in Katrina. The group is still together or still performs a few times a year. More recent videos they can still sing. They were the group the TV show Partridge Family was based on. The Cowsills however could actually play instruments, actually sang their songs they recorded, and were/are a band.

[Chode]

hell... i've still got the album!

[virgil283]

...Cowsills however could actually play instruments.....OUCH...

The Cowsills were the inspiration for the Partridge Family TV show.

The song featured here should have been much higher in the charts than #31. This should have been top 10. Pure pop from the late 1960s - a time that seems so innocent from this vantage point.
