Doug and Jazon chat with Bob Cowsill about the new Christmas song recorded by his daughter and how they keep it fresh. Follow them online @Cowsills on social media. The release of the group's NEW digital-only Christmas EP "A CHRISTMAS OFFERING FROM THE COWSILLS" - features two original songs, “Christmastime (Song For Marissa)” and “Some Good Years,” plus a new, acapella version of the holiday favorite, “Winter Wonderland." The EP follows last year's release of "Rhythm Of The World" - their first album release in 30 years! Formed in 1965, The Cowsills would become a worldwide phenomenon when “The Rain., The Park And Other Things” spent two weeks at #2 in 1967 (blocked from the top of the charts by The Monkees’ “Daydream Believer”). The Top 10 “Indian Lake” followed in 1968, and “Hair” matched their two weeks at #2 benchmark in 1969. The family band became the inspiration for The Partridge Family, and even recorded the theme song for the hit TV show, "Love, American Style". In the early ‘90s, the family regrouped to record a Christmas single “Christmastime (Song for Marissa).” The melody for “Christmastime (Song for Marissa)”, was written in the late ‘70s and sat for years without lyrics as an instrumental. Once it was recognized as Christmas music the lyrics were added in 1986 and a brand new Christmas carol was born. Joined by friends and admirers including The Bangles’ Vicki Peterson and Michael Steele, and Peter Holsapple of The dB’s, “Christmastime (Song for Marissa)” was finally recorded in the summer of 1992. Along with “Some Good Years,” these two songs were actually released as a collector’s 45 RPM single edition on Rockville Records in 1993. These tracks return three decades later on "A Christmas Offering From The Cowsills," joined by an all-new, acapella version of the holiday classic “Winter Wonderland.” These tracks illuminate why The Cowsills have remained in our collective ears all these years later. If you don't think you know The Cowsills, think again. • Composed of 7 siblings and their mother, The Cowsills were the inspiration for the popular '70s sitcom The Partridge Family. • The group recorded and charted 5 successful albums between 1967 - 1971 • Their hits include: “Hair” (from the rock musical Hair), “Indian Lake,” “Love American Style” (the theme song from the popular ABC-TV show of the same name) and “We Can Fly” • Appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show (2x), The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, American Bandstand, The Mike Douglas Show, The Johnny Cash Show, The Barbara McNair Show, Music Scene and Playboy After Dark - among many others BTW - If you haven't seen the documentary, "Family Band: The Cowsills," which is currently available on Amazon Prime, I encourage you to do so. It is a fascinating, yet sad, story about the physical and emotional abuse the group/family suffered at the hands of their father/manager. You can view a trailer for the documentary HERE. The touring group currently consists of original members Bob Cowsill, Paul Cowsill, Susan Cowsill as well as Bob's son Ryan, Paul's son Brendon, Susan's husband Ross and Mary Lasseigne
