After being inducted into the California Music Hall of Fame on April 14, 2024, the remaining four Cowsill Siblings sing their signature song, The Rain, The Park, and Other Things". The song was penned by Artie Kornfeld, one of the founders of 1968's Woodstock Music Festival. This is also nicknamed "The Flower Girl Song".
This is (L-R) John Cowsill, Susan (Cowsill) Broussard, Paul Cowsill, and Bob Cowsill.

Look for the Lemon Twigs. Esp the record they just released (May 2024). I guarantee it will give you good nostalgic vibes while listening to a contemporary band. I kid you not! (Also a 'sills fan from way back, had the usual kid crush on Susan when I was a boy and she was a slightly older girl.)

I was in 7th grade and a drummer in junior high band. There was a girl that played clarinet that was just cute as hell who loved this song… I had my first pubescent crush. Whenever I hear this song I’m transported back to those memories and today wonder what became of her life. 😉

This makes me feel 11 years old all over again.I may have been pretty young, but, I always had my transitor radio on, listening to all this great music like this. Almost 60 years later there is still demand for this music, not like the forgettable, throwaway derivative stuff on Spotify. We were listening to the Cowsills, Mamas & Papas, CCR, Beatles, Grass Roots, Janis, Jimi, Jim, Byrds, Turtles, Stones, Elvis, Temps, Four Tops, Smokey, Diana, Etc etc.

I'm also 65. My 6 years older brother bought this single at the time it was a hit. I listened to it over and over and always loved it. My big brother somehow instilled an intense love of pop and rock music into me that lives on today. Sadly he died before we could make it out of the 70's. Enjoy those you love while you have them. Someday the tunes will make you sad but its so much easier when the sadness is accompanied with wonderful memories. ♥

The Cowsills won me $79. About 20 years ago I was at work and the local radio station was running a name-that-song kind of contest. When the DJ played "The Rain, the Park, and Other Things" the calls started coming in. Most people were guessing "The Flower Girl." I knew the right title, called in, and won the money. I think it was $79 because that was the station's number on the radio dial. I've been a fan since they started performing back in the 60s. Love their harmonies.

I’m 73 and knew the Cowsills when Susan was a young girl in the band with her Mom, Barbara, and John while being a little older was still young himself. An incredibly talented family who amazingly still have beautiful voices. Still remember Bill and Bob playing Beatles songs over the phone to my brother, Arthur and as always nailed it. Also went to school at same time and school as Bill, Bob, Dick and Paul (“ the schoolhouse on the hill “ ).
