Cass Elliott finally received her star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame this week. It was a grand ceremony with speakers including her daughter, Owen, Cass' sister, Leah, Stephen Stills, Michelle Phillips and John Sebastian. A perfect cool day graced the dedication and various offspring of the Phillips, Elliott clans were in attendance. Cass was an absolute joy to be around and was a walking lesson in how to use your voice. More than a few of us fellow performers studied her method, in hopes of gaining some insight on how she made the glorious sounds she did. Safe sailing, Cass. We were lucky to have you in our lives.

This was my husband and my song in 1975! RIP my darling Joe! You left me 22years ago! I’m 71 now and I never loved again, you were the only man for me that I loved so totally and had three children together with! I will see you again soon and our hearts will beat together for eternity!😞💔

Those were my happiest days of my life. I'm 71 now.

[Geheimagent]

Selten so eine Harmonie von 4 Stimmen gehört. Mit dem Geschrei von heute nicht zu vergleichen

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Without Cass, we would never have heard of The Mamas & The Papas. They are one of my favorite groups, but she made them.

[rigolonzinbrin]

Sixties, the years when music and lyrics still existed...

[shyman]

And here it is for the first time, in all of its glory, the entire historic appearance as shown on the original broadcast. YES!!!

[michaelrochester]

You could just tell when you’re seeing Cass singing that there’s a warmth about her, that she loves her fans and she is so appreciative of all the positive attention she got because she truly looked like a woman who just loved being a star

[haroldhorton]

[robertsears]

Btw..Ed Sullivan should be in the rock and roll hall of fame..maybe he is...this guy and his team were absolutely way ahead of their time bringing rock and roll into our living rooms...and our parents actually let us watch these acts...Ed was brilliant

[garypamatat]

I love their out fits they are all totally groovy. The 60s had real style not like now a days where we have zero style. Cue up the time machine beam me back Scotty. Mama Cass has a gorgeous voice and the harmonies are incredible.

[denisec]

Their voices just blended with great harmony!

[jimbob]

Cass Elliot is just absolutely a classic performer
It was such a tragedy to lose her so early in life

[fvansoldt]

California dreaming is clearly inspired by gospel music, so beautiful and harmonious.
