But the musical also became a cultural phenomenon — even spawning a successful cast recording and a handful of hit singles, including the 5th Dimension’s chart-topping "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In," Three Dog Night’s "Easy to Be Hard" and Oliver’s "Good Morning, Starshine." As well as the title tune, "Hair," recorded by the family group, the Cowsills (in a slightly cleaned up version).

Loved the bass lines. I have the CD of the broadway cast, the female vocalist on Aquarius is terrific. I know that one of the people who did that song, either on Broadway or on the record was like 17 years old.

"Hair had a spiritual message," Rado told the Associated Press in 1993.
Sad if he actually believed that.

I think there was a movie in the 70s called Hair starring Treat Williams and John Savage.

I saw Hair in San Francisco. When a group swung out on [I don’t remember] her top came off. Boy was she embarrassed.

Wow... I thought all that Up With People, Hair, Godspell, and a few others were spazzy and square... the soundtracks didn’t hit my turntable either. I really didn’t care for the Beatles. I was out if synch I guess, or my older siblings had saved me from that square pop culture drivel. The Cowsills... milk... spare me.

I met both James Rado and Gerome Ragni when they dropped in on my college radio station in 1967. Rado was a nice guy, but Ragni was an antagonistic asshole. The fact that I was in my ROTC uniform set Ragni off.

My high school choir performed the song “hair” in the late 70s. It was really fun.
