First a banana, then grapes. Michelle was determined to spoil the lipsync at all costs XD

[spyderlogan]

Let's have a moment to remember the great Lou Adler who founded Dunhill Records and signed and produced The Mamas & The Papas and the rest is history...

From The Halifax Three to The Ed Sullivan Show in two years - it must have been a trip for Denny!

[vietlovesdurian]

song which has never left my wounded humble heart...

[stevefaure]

Heck yeah! This is a whole package right here--great song, great set stage, great outfits, great performance. There you go kids, that's entertainment. And Mama Cass always brings it to the level of art with a bit of sadness.

[KevyNova]

It should be illegal to be as beautiful as Michelle.

This is probably my favorite set of any that was used on the Ed Sullivan show. I love the colorful set and all the weird props. So glad you uploaded this today, as this is the only song in this segment that hadn't been uploaded previously. "Monday, Monday" was the first song they sang, then "I Call Your Name" and finally, "California Dreaming" if people want to watch the full segment in order. Afterwards, Ed interviewed them and they put love beads around his neck. One of my favorite moments on the Sullivan show, and I love the harmonies and sound of the Mamas and the Papas! This turned out to be the last appearance by the group on the Sullivan show. I think the only full song that hasn't been uploaded yet is "Dedicated to the One I Love" from an earlier episode.

I love The MaMa and THe Papas since I was 9 when I saw Her Again came out and age 11 my sister had a record album that had this song on it ! Love 60s music even the early mid 60s but the late 60s 70s is my era of music but 60s is my very favorite type of music !

[tamifonville]

I love this song from the MoMA and the Pops

[josephschauster]

Great song! Think of it every Monday ha

[pbartkus]

So many of the acts on Ed Sullivan's show were live and NOT lip-synced. It's a shame TM&TP were.

[madteamparents]

It’s really too bad they never sang live on the show

[thomasgarbe]

Monday, Monday: I thought it bit worn, but it's still captivating.

[marcosmelo]

The mamas & the papas.infelizmente três da formação original não estão mais entre nós.

[Mer]

Nice, I think they performed this during their first appearance too.

[makidtrej]

They really hated lipsyncing didn't they? XD XD XD

[markyboy]

This performance was awkward because Michelle was fired for her affair with Denny and they had to beg her to return.

[jimdavison]

Ok Andrew, where's the missing Mamas & Papas tune from June 11, 1967, "Dedicated To The One I Love?"
