Cowsills (The Flower Girl) The Park The Rain & Other Things, Hair

The Rain, the Park & Other Things in 1967, and Hair in 1969 (2:54) (Remastered) are performed by The Cowsills. The Flower Girl was co-written by Artie Kornfeld and Steve Duboff for their 1967 album The Cowsills. The single reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The hippie, sunshine pop-rock song was originally titled The Flower Girl but was changed to The Rain, the Park & Other Things so as to not be confused with Scott McKinzie’s San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair). The renamed title has no lyrics in the song. From the Hair rock musical, the title song Hair also peaked at #2 for The Cowsills in 1969, their most popular single. The Flower Girl was featured in the comedy film Dumb and Dumber starring Jim Carey. Original brother members Bill, Bob, Barry, and John Cowsill perform The Flower Girl (accompanied by the song’s unofficial music video) and recorded the debut album. Sister Susan Cowsill, brother Paul and mother Barbara joined the pop group later for Hair. The Cowsills were the real-life influence of the TV Series The Partridge Family starring David Cassidy and Susan Dey. Check out The Cowsills live in 2015:
