Partridge Family Post

As a kid, I had a short-lived fascination with the Partridge Family. Probably I was amazed with the effect David Cassidy had on 4th and 5th grade girls. I was pretty uncertain about the whole girl thing back then - - but he sure "had something" they liked.

Anyway - - reading about the death of Barry Cowsill, I read this paragraph with great surprise. I had no idea:

The Cowsills -- the inspiration for the TV series "The Partridge Family" -- recorded a series of top hits between 1967 and 1970, including "The Rain, The Park and Other Things," "Indian Lake" and "Hair." [Emphasis mine.]

Partridge Family - inspired by real life people - I had no idea.
