The Cowsills were born to a US Navy dad. The dad and mom managed the group after Bud retired from the military.
After several tv specials, the Cowsills were approached by CBS to do a weekly television series. However, they declined, and CBS created "the Partridge Family" show based upon the Cowsills.
Richard was the road manager for the famous group. He left because of his abusive dad and served in Vietnam for 3 tours of duty. His dad would not let him perform with the rest of his music family, but he got to perform with them a few times later on when the dad was not around.
