50: The Cowsills Interview with Tony DeFranco

What this episode covers

In 1973 one of the #1 records on the charts was "Heartbeat -It's a Lovebeat" by The DeFranco family featuring Tony DeFranco...a singing family of three brothers and two sisters from Canada who were to become the next singing family sensation in America from 1973-1977. Tony was destined for the teen mags and became a teen idol. Tiger Beat in particular would play a pivotal role in the history of the DeFranco family's rise to success. Everyone's story is compelling and full of unexpected twists and turns and the DeFranco family's story is no different. Hope you enjoy our visit as much as we did. Coming up - a new "Where's John?" episode - where we chase down our brother John as he chimes in from the road...he's out there with the Beach Boys and they seem to be back at full strength!!!!
