Susan was my first crush. A young man always remembers his first crush. Hell, I am nearly 67 years old and I remember well. I fully suspect that she was the first crush for a lot of young men back in the day.
It wasn’t cool to admit being a Cowsills fan when I was a teenager but their talent is undeniable. Glad to see them still making music together although some family members have passed on during hard times.
I know what you mean. Some people are so judging of happy, lighter music. I'd usually follow up my love for the Cowsills with how much a fan I am of Black Sabbath, Hendrix and Judas Priest also. That shut them up.
@@blue-fj9ky The good thing is you see things differently now than you did back then . To admit you were wrong gets my respect and that tells me your not a snob anymore your a good person .
Susan is something else, isn't she? She always has been! Talent and enthusiasm in endless supply. They all sound fresh and new. Throw out the calendars; they don't seem to matter anymore.
Back in the day, they were considered very bubble gum in my circle of riff raff. When actually I was covertly a big fan of theirs. I love watching little Susan dance her heart out. The whole family was extremely and honestly talented and little Susan dancing just added an extra entertaining element. The Rain, the Park and Other Things just takes you back in time to a better time and place.
i am 71 years old now, and this song reminds me so much of when i was a young man and actually loved a flower girl, here where it all started in the san francisco bay area. GROOVY.
Grace may have truly been the acid queen.But Susan Cowsill as far as I'm concerned is The Flower Girl.Susan U just keep on doin what only U can do.U truly are the Flower that keeps on blooming.
@ rick kilgore absolutely.. The fabulous Grace Slick just turned 83 on October 30th. She along with the surviving members of the Jefferson Airplane were inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame a few weeks earlier. She is the original Queen of Rock. Susan undeniably.. the flower girl of The Summer of Love..🌺 ✌️
This is just unbelievable...'The Rain, The Park, and Other Things' is 55 years on 2022 and still sounds amazing played live by the original members...That's crazy!!!...Man they sound great!!...Loved this!! Thanks for the share🤝
I remember being parked with my girlfriend and listening to the Flower Girl. When Indian Lake was a hit, I was deep in the jungles of Vietnam with an infantry company. Still going strong at 79 years and 48 years with a great gal as my wife.
Sadly many of the original band are gone now but the ones that remain sound AMAZING!!!! How wonderful to see them together still touring and making music together! This makes my heart sing!👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️Thank you, Cowsills! I love you!👏👏👏👏❌⭕️❌⭕️
Sure I love the sound of them singing the old big hit.. but to be standing... doing it with so many family members gone.. I love them even more.. bob, paul and susan.... I love you all!
Thank you so much Rob for posting this! I always ❤Ed the Cowsills. They are still sooo amazing after all these years! I am so glad I was born in 1958 and got to hear all these great songs! This was REAL Music! God Bless 🙏!
We're getting old Mary, born in 58 myself and grew up with their music the best part of this video I think is they got the 2 best songs that they ever did... I hoping to see them one day live before my ticket is punch I have to give Susan my 10$$
@@tats7859 Hello 👋! Yes, two of their best! I love ❤️ it when singers/groups sing the songs just like they did originally and do not make any changes! God Bless 🙏and Take Good Care. I hope we both get to see them someday!
Mary I'm not far behind you I was born in 1963 my parents loved the Cowsills I started listening to them when i was 7 id play my mothers 45's all the time she would just smile at me constantly .
I love the flower girl and Bob, Paul, John and Susan! I miss Barb, Barry, Bill, and Richard. Thanks for the joy you have given me and always will! Hugs from Issy.
I didn't really know what to expect from a band that did MILK COMMERCIALS in 1969. I was 14 at the time and I was blown away!!! Very fond memories of that night!
The Cowsills bring heart, love, and flower girl power to this present day performance. The Summer of Love has not left the stage with this musical band. In 1967 the flower girl was everywhere and I was a nine years old kid enjoying the radio knowing "she would make me happy... happy... happy." And if the song was heard playing in 1969, I was still a kid then... and that is all that mattered along with the rain, the park, and other things.
They continue to bring such joy and nostalgic magic to each performance. Hoping someday they will be recognized for their wonderful gift to American popular music. And hoping John will someday re-join them for a few gigs.
If you remember correctly The Cowsills were just young children at the time of this 1967 hit and it's amazing that they're still out there in 22 with very tight harmonies as they did back in the day got to love these guys and Susan
WOW! I have been a fan for years and have seen them on the HTT...but it wasn't until just now that I noticed that Susan, Paul and Bob were NOT the only ones on that stage singing!!! I had NO idea!!!
Such a great performance! I love the Cowsills! That is one of my favorite songs! You guys are still as great as you were back then! Such harmonization is so groovy! God bless you guys, everyone, and everything!
![The Cowsills • “Indian Lake” • LIVE 1968 [Reelin' In The Years Archive]](/img/n.gif)
Their voices and harmonizations are still AMAZING! So gifted. Listen to the power of those voices.
ditto!
I totally agree!!
@@robkenny100 the support for the cowsills is growing!!! glastonbury next year?
They actually capture that 60s sound live. It’s good to see these family members survive.
Which is amazing considering the asshole they had as a father.
They still sound amazing.
Simply one of the most incredible “feel good” songs …. 55 years, simply remarkable…chills 😀….flower girl reigns !
I totally agree!!
I agree also. It’s bringing back better days. 🌺
Makes me proud to be a flower child. Such a great song and they are still right on with their singing.
Susan is and always will be the flower girl.
Exactly 100% .
Susan is and always be HOT TO LOOK AT
Susan was my first crush. A young man always remembers his first crush. Hell, I am nearly 67 years old and I remember well. I fully suspect that she was the first crush for a lot of young men back in the day.
As Rastus told Liza, "The less you use it, the less use you get out of it." 🙈🙉🙊

Yep. I was a bit of a snob about them. The same for Herman's Hermits and the Monkees. I was wrong. They're all great!
Well It's definetly Cool today in 2023 for sure and it was then to in the 60s Jogriff , I bet they secretly listened to the Cowsills as well 😉.
@@blue-fj9ky The good thing is you see things differently now than you did back then . To admit you were wrong gets my respect and that tells me your not a snob anymore your a good person .
The only thing that is 'cool' is what YOU decide and what works for YOU. Never mind what other people think.
Susan is something else, isn't she? She always has been! Talent and enthusiasm in endless supply. They all sound fresh and new. Throw out the calendars; they don't seem to matter anymore.
Siblings harmonizing is a remarkable thing.
ditto!
Sibs voices blend so well... They just knock it out ..like they have for 50+ years ..b/c they still can.

I totally agree!! They are extremely nice people too… very appreciative of their fans
Yep remember being in love in with Susan. Back in 1967.
I AM IN LOVE WITH SUSAN COWSILL, I JUST CANT HELP IT. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL !
Amazing voices after all these years.....love that song and love this group 2022.
Wonderful family. They still have the pipes. Love them.
Loved this song on Super Gold every Saturday night in the 70s. RIP to the others gone too soon.

How can sappy 60’s pop songs sound so great live? You can tell how much fun they’re having up on that stage!
Susan, Paul and Bob, you still got the mojo and harmony!!!!!
This is just unbelievable...'The Rain, The Park, and Other Things' is 55 years on 2022 and still sounds amazing played live by the original members...That's crazy!!!...Man they sound great!!...Loved this!! Thanks for the share🤝
I’m glad you enjoyed it, I agree they are still amazing!!🎼❤️

Thank You for your service! Amazing story! Thanks for sharing!
George did you listen to AFVN radio? The Army had a station in Vietnam playing tunes 24/7.
Still sounding great! Never give it up, folks!!
This brings back so many innocent, wonderful memories. I graduated high school in 1967.
Indian Lake was their best song, or at least it was my favorite. I had the 45 and played it over and over. I was 12 years old in 1968.
So glad to see the Cowsills still touring and sounding great. Real talent.
These guys made this 62 year old goat very happy....✌🥲
Sadly many of the original band are gone now but the ones that remain sound AMAZING!!!! How wonderful to see them together still touring and making music together! This makes my heart sing!👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️Thank you, Cowsills! I love you!👏👏👏👏❌⭕️❌⭕️
We have to bring the flower girls back again, they looked so beautiful with flower in their hair.
This makes so homesick for those wonderful days.
Sure I love the sound of them singing the old big hit.. but to be standing... doing it with so many family members gone.. I love them even more.. bob, paul and susan.... I love you all!
Perfect Harmony to the 3 part that's written into these songs , Takes me back when these was on the radio top hits
Wow, it’s phenomenal that you guys can have pretty much the exact same sound 55 years later! Truly impressive.
Still love, listening to the sound about as good as they did when they started. It’d be nice to see them in this area, but this will do.
57 years ago! My lord, it went by in a blink! But what a ride it was!

Awe for their talents. 💕And a few tears for their siblings who left us too early. 💧
sure a lot different than the garbage today.
They sound fantastic. Great to see them still at it after all these years. I was happy to see Susan playing the same Taylor 814ce guitar that I have.

Wow they still sing this song really well all these years later. I always loved this song ... a hippie from California, I was then.
Wow memories from my childhood. A beautiful and innocent time in my life
I get chills just hearing this.
Susan looks good at 62 year old .

Love The Cowsills, still sound great. Would be great to see them come to Australia.
Eles não podem imaginar quanto eu os amo, gostaria de um poder abraça-los para agradecer por esta linda música e fantástica interpretação.

Brings tears to my eyes
May God Bless Always. The Cowsill Family for still being revelant and as fresh as in the 1960s👍!!

So cooool! Thanks Cowsills.
I had the biggest CRUSH on John when I was a teenager wayyyyyyyyyy back then! He just turned 67 on March 2nd. Happy Birthday, John…. 🥳🎉🎈🎂🎁
Great Memory with this song, it was a little bubble gum but still fun to listen to....
Incredible voices for their age
Makes me smile.

Loved the Cowsills then and they still look great and have awesome voices. Rock on Cowsills!

This makes me as happy today as it did 55 years ago
