“Hair” #2 5/10/1969

The Broadway musical “Hair” produced a number of popular tunes. The title song as done by the Cowsills was kept from the top spot by the 5th Dimension, who did another tune from the show. Some lyrics with religious overtones (I.e., comparing the hair length of several characters to Jesus) were changed as the group didn’t want to create controversy. This would be the last hit for the Cowsills; they became the real-life basis for “The Partridge Family” 70’s TV show.
