What is your favorite song by Cass Elliot?

[djb]

The media roughed her for so many years. Because of her physical appearance, they didn’t give her the credit. But she was a badass! And will never be forgotten

[megnotes]

What a loss. Cass had a beautiful, powerful voice - pure talent. I still miss her.

[eugeniasyro]

She was a treasure. Much missed. Much loved.

When I listen to Cass I find her so talented, witty, funny, engaged, present in the moment, her weight is not a factor I just don’t care. She was the total package. RIP bright star 🙏🌟

Not only did Cass Elliot appear on the tonight show. One Monday night she served as guest host.

If she was treated the way her character was in The New Scooby Doo Movies she was verbally abused every minute of her life.

Her daughter Owen seemed to have inherited her mother's resonance in her voice too.

[shawnhuff]

I was born in April 1974 just before she passed away 😊

Interestingly years later Keith Moon died in the same apartment as Mama Cass in 1977

[lwells]

That voice should bev played in the Smithsonian

“Don’t Call Me Mama” is not Elliot’s only Variety TV Show. She had another pilot show in 1969 on ABC called “The Mama Cass Television Show”. The show featured Cass and her friends preforming musical numbers and comedy skits. ABC felt it was too liberal “hippie” for the network and pulled the plug after just one episode

her sister will be played here by cathy bates.

FYI Your last statement is erroneous about her heart. It is physically impossible for “muscle to turn to fat.”
