In 2000, my 16 year old daughter came to me so excited. She heard a "new" band The Mama's and Papas. I laughed my head off....priceless. I guess the music is timeless.

Cass and Denny had the voices, but the 4 of them together were magic.

[atticusfinch]

I don’t think Cass knew how many loved her, she was the band

[rockyyoung]

I'm listening to in 2024 and have been listening to them since 1967!!!! Gosh I'm old...lol

Cass sure could sing - what a wonderful, natural singer

[mantia]

Dear Cass Elliot. Bless her heart, she took all of that on the chin with style and grace, all for the benefit of the group. She deserved so much more. I have no doubt that the Angels in heaven were happy to receive her, for she had a voice that could reign in their choir.

Someone gave my mum tickets to see Cass at the Palladium, my dad couldn't go with her so she took the nine year old me. Didn't know who she was until that night, but I was a fan by the end of the show. She was engaging and funny all evening and even at the tender age of nine I understood what a great voice she had.
Then a couple of days later I found my mum in tears and momma Cass had gone. I was one of the lucky ones who'd seen her last show. Great loss.

Pure heaven listening to the 4 of them harmonize.

[theodorehall]

this group was one of the high water marks of the 60's

[jimwebester]

This has to be one of the coolest songs ever

As of November 2020, only Michelle survives - now 76 years old.
She was 23 when this videotape was made.

They sing the their anthem the way it should be sung! No dragging it out!

[martinmartinmoone]

No- ones getting remembered like mama Cass

[Harpo.jr]

I was a young man back then. What a great time for music.

[hellooutthere]

Mama Cass made tht band. They needed her. No one else could carry the harmony.

[johncoburn]

no vocal gimmicks, no pitch correction, even when they were all singing the same notes, their voices blended perfectly!

[sgreen]

I love Cass’ voice—she was an amazing singer! RIP

[bossfan]

Some of the most clever pop lyrics you'll ever find. Man, Michelle was an absolute doll.

[Brian_Boru]

Interesting, Cass has the real star power here, really draws you in. All four are superb of course but Cass had something special.

[leemarlin]

I’m grateful that I was able to spend my youth with music like this.
