b"Ever wonder what a music publicist does and why it seems every successful team has one? We had a great visit with the legendary music publicist Bob Merlis.

Bob even escorted a young 20-something Susan Cowsill on a publicity tour promoting her singles deal with Warner Brothers in the mid-70's. The best news is Bob, as of last week, is now the publicist for The Cowsills!!! Enjoy this unique insight into a unique position in the music industry."
