[alanhodges]

I’m 82 and it’s March 2024 still listening every day and for ever to the greatest most beautiful
harmonising group

[CynthiaFisher-zc]

It’s now 2024 and OMG this song is still beautiful. Such harmony, Cass Elliott, gone way too soon😭😢

[lazarocaffone]

It’s 2023 and the song still gives me the chills

[ikesaunders]

I'm 70 yrs old in 2024 & I am so glad I lived in the 60's to hear such beautiful music that still sounds great today I just hope this music will never die

[gerryg]

Cass Elliot’s voice still gives me chills. One of my favourite female singers.

[sandrajohnson]

It's April 26, 2024. I still love this song.

[nazznomad]

There's an undertone of sadness in their faces. A knowingness that the band was falling apart.

[lydiawilliams]

It breaks my heart to remember how much pure joy this band gave to so many people and yet their own lives were so broken. Loved them then and I still do today!

[RoyFive]

Love it when Denny and Cass smile at each other.

[cole]

One of the most beautiful choruses in all of music

[ethericrose]

You can understand why Mama Cass loved Denny. He was a total dish. 😊

[atis]

ABBA & the MAMAS/PAPAS have the best harmonies in pop music

[margaretconnery]

MAMA CASS HAS A VOICE THAT NO ONE WILL EVER FORGET.

[Butterflypoo]

Those harmonies, so flawless, incomparable. If Cass had lived I bet she’d still be going strong ❤

[bobvogel]

Arguably their best song. The harmonies are simply outstanding. John Phillips was an exceptional musician. He wrote this classic. My opinion only.

[univibe]

Like so much of the 60s...completely brilliant---you wanted bands like this to go on forever but they were all gone like a comet streaking across the sky!

[mysticmaverick]

This song is as fresh and vibrant as was it when they recorded it in 1968.

[malcolmharing]

It's January 2023. I'm 68. For what it's worth, this is one of the most gorgeous songs from the 60's that will never be equaled by today's music. And Michelle Phillips is one of the most beautiful ladies in music, of all times.
