You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

The Cowsills were originally offered the parts in The Partridge Family. They declined because they wanted their real life mother to be in the show, but the part was offered to Shirley Jones.

Speaking of The Cowsills...

Cowsills to perform after RI documentary screening

Music for adventurous listeners

By ERIKA NIEDOWSKI - Associated Press

PROVIDENCE, R.I. --

They got their start playing frat parties at Brown University and doing gigs at school dances and church gatherings in Newport. They covered Beatles songs on Bannister's Wharf, which was fitting enough. They hoped to be the next Fab Four: Bill, Bob, Barry and John.

Later, three more family members, including their mother, would round out the fresh-faced clan - The Cowsills - whose harmonies would climb to the top of the pop music charts.

Surviving members of the group that enjoyed a meteoric rise in the 1960s - the Cowsills would serve as the inspiration for the TV show "The Partridge Family" - are scheduled to perform Wednesday evening in Providence. It's a rare on-stage reunion in the state where they saw their beginnings.

The performance will follow the premiere of a new documentary about the band's rise and fall, "Family Band: The Cowsills Story," at the Rhode Island International Film Festival.

Filmmaker Louise Palanker says the 90-minute film is a story of tragedy and triumph - of a family that seemed flawless on the surface but grappled with a physically and emotionally abusive father who was involved in the band's promotion at every turn and a mother who chronically felt she came up short.

"We're all hit with tragedy, and we all have the capacity to triumph - and they have," Palanker said.

Like The Beatles before them, the Cowsills went on the "The Ed Sullivan Show." They did "American Bandstand" and Johnny Carson's "The Tonight Show." With their wholesome faces, they were hired by the American Dairy Association to promote milk in commercials - earning $1 million for 10 spots filmed in Newport. Bob appeared on "The Dating Game" in 1969; he wasn't selected.

Rick Bellaire, founder of the Rhode Island Popular Music Archive, which has compiled a history and discography of the Cowsills, remembers the group playing locally before it went big, including at Crescent Park in East Providence and Rocky Point amusement park in Warwick, which has long since been shuttered.

"A lot of kids in Rhode Island and southern New England were aware of the Cowsills even though they hadn't made it nationally," he said.

"They were extremely popular. They did not at the time get a lot of critical acclaim because they were considered a bubble gum group," he said, ticking off some of the group's hits. Among them were "Rain, The Park and Other Things," which was featured more recently in the Jim Carrey movie "Dumb and Dumber," as well as "Hair," featured in the musical by the same name.
