    J/A, love the Mama’s and Papa’s. Amber, I have a great suggestion for you for female Friday kinda referencing this group. The group to react to is Wilson Phillips, because it’s a combination of the children from this group and The Beach Boys. The lead singer is Chynna Phillips (daughter of Michelle Phillips/Mama and Papas) with the other two singers being the daughters of Brian Wilson from Beach Boys. The songs called Hold On and it’s beautifully sung by the girls. By the way Chynna looks so much like her mother. PLEASE, PLEASE react to this on Friday. Thanks again y’all.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    "I Saw Her Again Last Night" is definitely a song by The Mamas and The Papas that you should check out.

      I love Creeque Alley! I could be wrong and I should Google it, but I think Michelle is the only surviving member.. her daughter Chynna used to be in a group called Wilson Phillips and she has a youtube channel now called California Preachin (Chynna has long been a Christian and she likes to spread the word). Chynna's father was John Phillips and I'm not going to go into his history.. ya'll can look that up for yourself. Not sure which Cass Elliott song you heard but try "Dream a Little Dream of Me". I was born in 1959, so I remember this music well and that song reminds me of my mom, for some reason. It's a good song. Hope you are enjoying the baby. Take care.

    Cass Elliot’s reaction to Janis Joplin was at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 (Woodstock was two years later). The Mamas and the Papas were co-sponsors of the Monterey Pop Festival, but they were hearing Janis for the first time.

      That opening chord on "I Saw Her Again" is kickass. And we can't forget the false entrance the final time they sing the chorus. What I love about "Words of Love" is how it stays the same tempo with the song having both swing and straight time parts.

  • @sjw5797
    @sjw5797 2 года назад +63

    The song you're thinking about is "I Saw Her Again". John wrote it when he found out Michelle, who was his wife at the time, was having an affair with Denny. That was his revenge, making them sing it again and again. They couldn't refuse because it was such a good song. Harmonically it's the most complex thing they ever did. It's their greatest song, I think.

    The lead singer, Denny Doherty, had the typical "beatnik" look of the late 50s and early 60s with the goatee and the Caesar haircut. Michelle Phillips was the free spirit of the group, Cass Elliot was the major talent (in my opinion) but the leader of the group was John Phillips. As a matter of fact he was one of the main organizers of the Monterrey Pop Festival which featured Janis and was the reason Cass was in the audience in the video you watched. The festival held in June 1967 was the beginning of "The Summer Of Love" and the beginning of the "hippie" era of the late 60s. Without Monterey Pop, there would have been no "Woodstock" I believe. Songs: "I Saw Her Again Last Night", "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming To The Canyon)", "Creeque Alley" (a biographical song about the forming of the group), "Dedicated To The One I Love" (talk about harmonizing, this is it! It also features Michelle as lead singer), and "I Call Your Name".

    • @loadedorygun
