Your post reminded me of this song - “Flower Girl” by the Cowsills:

Yes I recall the Cowsills, and specifically that song. Funny you brought it up as just last week I was wondering to myself what ever happened to the Cowsills? They were every bit as good, or better as many of the era including the Osmonds IMO.
I’ll have to look them up, and see where they went one of these days.
