"The Rain, the Park & Other Things" is a psychedelic pop song with music and lyrics co-written by Artie Kornfeld and Steve Duboff. The song was recorded by the pop band The Cowsills, and included on their 1967 album ''The Cowsills'' (MGM E/SE-4498). Released as a single, the song reached #2 on the ''Billboard'' charts. The single cemented the group's international popularity and sold some three million copies over the years. It ties with 1969's "Hair" as the group's biggest hit, as both reached No. 2 in the U.S. It reached No. 1 in Canada's RPM Magazine charts. The song is unusual being one of the few vocal works whose lyrics do not contain the song's title. It is known by many as "The Flower Girl".〔http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=8193〕 The Cowsills did not play on their earliest recordings. Studio musicians were brought in to provide the music for this song and many of the earlier singles. For this song, musicians included Gene Bianco on harp, Vinnie Bell, Charles Macy and Al Gorgoni on guitar, Joe Macho on bass, Artie Butler on organ, Paul Griffin on piano, George Devens on percussion, and Buddy Saltzman and Al Rogers on drums. The song was used in the Lloyd fantasy scene in the 1994 film ''Dumb and Dumber''. ==References== * http://bapresley.com/silverthreads/music/studiomusicians/ * http://bapresley.com/silverthreads/transcripts/jimmy.html 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Rain, The Park & Other Things」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
