Cass Elliot is the one who had that hard to define quality, plus, of course, voice to emerge from The Mamas and Papas as a big star. She's the one who could headline solo shows and was invited to sing on national shows like Andy Williams, Smothers Brothers, and Carol Burnett.
Mama Cass (Dream a little dream) is pure magic!
Cass Elliott (Mama Cass)has a sweet voice!
The Mamas & the Papas were a great folk rock group in the 60's. I had their records. They were known for their smooth harmonies. They had lots of great hits such as "Monday, Monday", "Dedicated To The One I Love", "Words Of Love", "Dancing In The Street", "Look Through My Window", "Creeque Alley", "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon)", "Safe In My Garden", "I Saw Her Again" etc. Mama Cass Elliot went solo & had a big hit with "Dream A Little Dream Of Me".
ALL of these songs are Great, 👆👆 and very much worth hearing
'Safe in my Garden"Aaaahh!Also "Spanish harlem','People like us","Rooms","Step out",Dancing Bear" ,'No salt on her tail",'In crowd"to add but a few more.
As a 69-year-old Londoner, this, perfectly, epitomizes California in the 1960s and even 1970s and beyond.
An age of freedom, adventure, exploration, and love. My best holiday was 7 weeks in 1979 that I spent in North America, starting in California and going up and across Canada to returning near Niagara Falls to THe East Coast and flying home from New York. The 11-hour flight from London to Los Angeles(LAX) was £59 :)
How I wish I could reach out and return there in THAT era....:)
Mama Cass was an influential person in US rock history. She helped organize the Monterey Pop festival which introduced Jimi Hendrix N Janis Joplin to the mass markets. She suggested Crosby Still and Nash get together at one of her parties in Laurel Canyon. A shaker and mover.
They were a short lived but brilliant group.
One of the best of the decade.
Their song Monday Monday was another huge hit for them.
Among other songs they did covers of Twist and Shout and My Girl.
I loved this group back in the late 60s, into the 70s! Mama Cass's Dream a Little Dream of Me is a favorite. Great reaction. This 70 year old appreciates blasts from the past in addition to Angelina Jordan. 😊❤
Who says we don't reply 6 months later :) Hope your enjoying the holidays :)
@@BritPopsReact 😊
This song just brings me back to my childhood. The Mamas and the Pappas’ music was constantly on the radio. They had a very distinctive sound.
Thanks Sharon … your right music holds so many memories :) for me BP1 childhood was very much electro 80s I. The UK 🇬🇧… thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻
I was so fortunate to grow up with this music! Loved The Mamas & The Papas.
Cass had such an incredibly beautiful voice.
Oh wow, the stories about this group. All the brilliance and madness of the sixties encapsulated in four part harmony. Spectacular song writing, amazing vocals, superstar session musicians, sex, drugs and folk rock. Jealousy, passion and unrequited love. How many of the stories are true? All we have now are the recordings, and that's a lot. And a quote from Cass Elliot, who listened to a recorded studio track and commented, "I wish we sounded that good". That it all fell apart is less surprising than that it ever came together in the first place, but it did, and it was legendary
I lived in a very small native village up towards Nome Alaska when this song came out. I could pick up one radio station and remember this song very well. Michell Phillips is the only one still alive. She commented on Angelina Jordan’s arrangement of this song and was wowed by her. Just Angelina 6:36 6:36 6:36 at 12 years old with a guitarist. Beautiful
I was a college freshman at the time of this song. The spirit of The Mamas and the Papas entered our souls in 1966 and mingled with our DNA. We and they are one and family together.
I was in my twenties throughout much of the sixties so when you react to one of my favorites from that time it is especially meaningful to me. We had the California groups and the British groups enriching our lives in a way that was unique. Cass did a new take on an old song "Dream a Little Dream of Me" that never fails to amaze me with the sweetness of her voice...highly recommended.
This band's members had all shapes and sizes.I got all their discography.
Mama Cass was Rocking it.
Great song, one of many from those days. I'm 80 now, I used to listen to all the music of those days from radio Luxembourg, a pirate radio music ship off the French coast, I believe. I was in Liverpool then. It always amazes me today, to see so many young people liking so much music from those early days, and liking what they hear. Young people today, missed so much in the way of good, clear music, where we could understand every word. Time goes so fast, and looking back, it seems like only yesterday, and this I suppose, is why I'm always surprised that so many of todays youth don't know these artists, which is only to be expected.
Thanks Phillip and for the comment, 80 … so you have the experience and knowledge that one day we can only hope to get :) yes it’s really interesting 🤔 to look back through and open up the music that was true music, I was watching Noel Gallagher on the pedal show and he was saying that even just 20-30 years ago there was hardly many about and music was music, these days everything is so digitally produced that it’s not the same as the old classics :) I only got a vinyl player last week so looking forward to picking some up somewhere :) cheers for the comment and hope you subscribed 👍🏻👍🏻
After 56 years, STILL America's greatest vocal group.
To me YES!They are.
Their harmonies set them apart from all other groups at that time! Nice reaction!!
Michelle just turned 79 earlier this month. She is the last surviving member of the group.
Good nugget of info there Tim thanks for that 👍🏻
I grew up in Southern California in the 60's, they were huge.
Barry McGuire recorded the song originally, and the Mamas and the Papas were the backup singers to the song.
Without Barry knowing, the studio had the Mamas and the Papas come back into the studio and re-record the main vocal track and released the song as theirs.
If you listen to Barry's version, you can hear the Mamas and the Papas as the backup singers.
True.And If you also listen carefully there are still signs of Barry's erased vocals in TMATP version too.
Hey guys, if you do Creque Alley after this one you will see the brilliance and the still cool ability of a group from the 60's who surpassed so many others. Play On and thanks for your channel. Love ya.
I loved this group in the past, and still do. The blonde girl Michelle Phillips is still around and looking good at 79. 🤗👍
I met Mama Cass in 1967 at Christmas in a dress shop. A truly memorable experience.
They have many hits, great catalog.
As a California girl ( Los Angeles 3rd generation native, ) I LOVE THIS SONG! The Mamas and the Papas are an old staple in my life. HELL YES IT'S BANGIN'
This is performed in 4 part, counterpoint harmony. So rare and so beautifully done. Angels singing.
Great song from the 60's!The harmonies are incredible for the era!
I love your reaction to this. An all time favorite song
The Mama’s and the Papa’s used the studio musicians called “The Wrecking Crew”. There’s a documentary about them. They were used on hundreds of songs on all types of music and performers…Beach Boys, Sonny and Cher, Jan and Dean, The Fifth Dimension, Frank and Nancy Sinatra, the Carpenters, Simon and Garfunkel, the Monkeys, John Denver and NAT King Cole to name a few. That’s how they achieved that “Big” sound. Cheers
@Ken Patton
Cheers Ken and thanks for the great information.
I will be checking out the documentary as I do like to know more.
All the best to you
The members of The Mamas and the Papas met in San Francisco as 2 separate groups. Then, they moved to Los Angeles.
Late John Phillips wrote the song San Francisco (about my hometown 🌉. I was not born when that song and California Dreaming were released.)
Michelle Phillips is the only surviving member. She is the mother of Chynna Phillips, who is the lead singer of Wilson Phillips. The other singers are Carney and Wendy Wilson, daughters of Brian Wilson, founder and main writer of The Beach Boys.
Brief family 👪 history.
Chynna Phillips is 1 of the younger half-sisters of actress MacKenzie, who was in the TV 📺 comedy One Day at a Time, which co-starring actress Valerie Bertinilli, first wife of late Eddie van Halen, RIP. Chynna Phillips is the wife of William Baldwin, who is the uncle of Hayley, who is married to Justin Bieber, who is the son-in-law of Alec Baldwin, father of Hayley. Alec is the oldest brother of the Baldwin family 👪 and ex-husband of actress Kim Basinger, mother of Hayley.
Suggested videos 📹: 1 Scott McKenzie sings San Francisco 2 Wilson Phillips sings You're in Love 🧡
Great comment, super informative cheers
A timeless, iconic classic from the Sixties; still brilliant today. From a time when California was 'still' an aspirational destination for us snowbound Midwesterners...
Great song, thanks for reacting.
Interesting how Denny, in addition to the physical similarities, he also gave his best Lennonisms vocally here ( 2:13 and 2:21 ). Funny also that Mama Cass at this time actually had a crush on Lennon. One night Lennon got invited over to their current residence, Cass had already went to bed, oblivious of the fact that John was on his way. When he got there they sneaked him in her door and then he laid down in her bed to surprise her👍
I know he s also once kinda said about Cass "ok where's that songbird".Cass did lead in the Beatles cover I call your name.And btw I loved Denny's voice,he sounded way better than John's to ma ears.
@@alexioverdo5225 Better than Paul's voice too?
Cass was large as life and twice as nice.
@@bobwoolerOriGinal Hi there.Well Paul's voice was sweet, had an attractive pop mentality and was instantly catchy matching his cute face.But if i had to choose between him and Denny i would rather lean on Denny's voice cause to me he sounded more crystal clear and had pipes sounding like a strong canary.Unfortunately he didn't sound that good while getting older.Paul did.Just my personal estimation,nothing critical.
John Lennon had the pick of99.9 women on the planet. Where did mama casa fall amongst that?
I loved these guys. Them and The Turtles were my favorite back in the day.
I was stationed in snowy, northern Japan when this song came out and for me, and other guys who joined out of California, this song made us very homesick!
John also wrote "If You're Going to San Francisco " for Scott McKenzie
so i knew the mamas and the papas were a band and i knew mama cass exsisted too but i had no idea she was in that band. i thought she was a solo artist lol. i only knew her from the austin powers joke of when he is listing famous people he knew that are now dead. he lists she died to "a ham sandwhich" which is funny but i think its true, i think she choked to death on food. others he listed were jimmi hendrix and janis joplin, both of whom also died via choking if i again remember right. a lot of musicians died back then by choking on either food or vomit....
and from an episode of scooby doo, i forgot the name of it but its the one where scooby and the gang meet up with famous people to solve a mystery and mama cass was on an episode. this was obviously in the 70s and not any of the new scooby doo BS they have.
forgot they did california dreamin which is a song i like. i gotta be in the mood for it though.
I saw them do this live in the 60s. So good! The Beach Boys never did this but the did a song about California Girls.
Cass Elliott died from a heart attack in 1974 in her London hotel room, she DIDN'T choke on a ham sandwich as the ugly rumor was indicating.
She died in Harry Neilson’s apartment,in Mayfair.The same bedroom where Keith Moon died.
And of course that started the old joke, “if only Mama Cass had given her ham sandwich to Karen Carpenter”.
The reason the sound is so full, yet not visible is because they are playing the original studio cut, with them miming along.
Music is as much a time and place as it is a sound. Brings back good memories.
Jazz great Bud Shank played the flute solo. Usually played sax but did session work in LA on woodwinds of all sorts.
So good !! 😎😎
Cass and Denny were the ringers, John was the mastermind (good and bad) and Michelle, well, she was adequate. Sensational group. Because of all their personal drama, they only lasted three years, but their output was groundbreaking.
I did like this song back in the sixties and whenever I heard the song I heard the words I began to pray. I pretend to pray sounds dumb! Why not I enter a church and fart away?
I don't know if you cover this but another basketball great from the 70's was Dr. J, Julius Irving who played for the Philadelphia '76ers.
There are numerous documentaries about him.
Classic, always happy to hear them. Enjoyed your reactions, as always. Peace …
Cheers PJB 👍🏻👍🏻
Mama Cass had a big big voice! I still know all the words
Her name was Cass Elliott, "Mama Cass" was more of an insult, even though it was widely used
The wrecking crew made this and many others a hit. I forget who played the alto flute. Perhaps someone knows.
An absolute classic!
Mama Cass' footwork is so hot. I've been trying to imitate that for years and just can't get it. Her vibe was so smooth!!
We would be a mess if we tried that 😂😂
The soloist was Denny Doherty, the only Canadian in the group, I always liked his solos.
TRIVIA: Performer/producer John Philips (tall guy with guitar) was a real slave driver in the studio and demanded perfection from their multi tracked vocals and harmonies.
He was a nasty peice of work,personally,too.
@@eh-i1841 PERSONAL OPINION: Those "are" the persistent rumors about him. One could argue that John Lennon (and many other brilliant people in the music business) fit that category too
You can, with total confidence, put on any compilation of their greatest hits and groove out for a long time.
Love it… groove out
This song makes me long for what California must have been like back in the day. The golden days of California... before... whatever it is nowadays.
Love their music ❤️🎶🎶
As a child my first introduction to Mama Cass was on Scooby Doo.
Angelina Jordan did an incredible version of this song, totally different from this version. Worth a listen. Now guys, if you've reacted to Janis Joplin's "Ball and Chains" in concert, you've certainly seen Mama Cass among the public.
Yep, Mama Cass Elliot was up front in the audience for Big Brother & the Holding Company at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival. One of Janis' first big gigs! Cass can be seen with her jaw dropped in amazement during the video of Ball & Chain from that show.
i was born in '88. just wanna say you don't have to be of a certain age to appreciate this music!
Fantastic song, one of those timeless classics.
Just doing a little algorithmic math in my head, 🤓
~4K views in 17hrs. Seems like the money shot to me 🤷♂
And the video chosen cuts off that final, haunting and slightly dissonant note. Wha ...?
Hey guys! I need some Marcin from your perspective. He just released Carmen one hour ago and it has a surprise in it. Would love a reaction from y'all!!
Sending you love from Texas!!
@Crazy Cat Lady
Hi Y'all. Thanks for the information.
We have recorded the video today and it should be out soon.
Thanks again and hope you can pop in to our next live show in Sunday 18th June.
All the best
Dieses Lied versetzt mich sofort wieder in meine Jugend mit den Gefühlen und Stimmung die man damals hatte.
This song immediately takes me back to my youth with the feelings and mood I had back then.🙋♂🙋♂
Great reaction once again,( as always ) guys. Hey, fellas, & especially Brit One who has these orgasmic reactions to Nessun Dorma,
I’ve got just the guy to send you off your head once again. His name is Jonathan Antoine & he is in the mould of Amira for his spectacular voice. So, when you feel like another lift Brit One, listen to your favourite Operatic Aria & tune into this remarkable talent.
There are heaps of his videos available & would enjoy both your reactions.
Cheers Graeme
Here is some fun stuff for you gents: The other young lady is Michele Phillips. Her kids are Mackenzie Phillips from the TV Show in the States One Day at a Time. Mackenzie's has 2 famous siblings. Bijou Phillips (half-sister/actress) and Chynnia Phillips (half-sister/singer from Wilson Phillips (and the Wilson part is Brian Wilson's of the Beach Boys daughter). Michele went on to be on the tv show Knots Landing--yes that show amongst many others over the years. 1987, Phillips sang backup vocals on Belinda Carlisle's studio album Heaven on Earth, as well as its number-one single "Heaven Is a Place on Earth". This was news to me for sure. I had no idea she did back up on that smash hit. Cheers gents.
A great group, the song was written just before they moved to LA from NY
Just so everyone knows, Cass hated being called Mama Cass. Whenever it happened she made sure to correct them. Her name is Cass Elliot. :)
They wrote this while missing California when they were in NYC recording.
Michelle, a California girl, was missing CALI, so John came up with the first verse & then he & Michelle wrote it together.
This was my youth.They have quite a history amongst themselves.
The Beach Boys cover version of this song is excellent too. Also check out the super good '69 Beach Boy song "I Can Hear Music."
Cass Elliot hated being called "Mama Cass".
Cass is still the shining radiant one in the group.
Mama cass Elliot the leave one.john Phillips on guitar.denny dauraty.michelle phillips.michelle is the only one left. They only sang together for 2 years.1967 and 1968.
trust me, twelve thirty (young girls are coming to the canyon) is a better song than most recommended. or "go where ya gotta go"
Michelle Phillips is the only one still kicking, her daughter China was in the group Wilson Phillips with Brian Wilson of the Beachboys daughters, China is married to actor Billy Baldwin and I follow her vlog...cool woman down to earth,
'Chynna' Phillips...
My favorite solo by Cass is Words of Love - you two should check it out sometime.
I was a teenybopper on the beach of S. California when this came out, and I wondered, why dream of California, when this is where it's all happening. Love their unique harmonies and songs. Angelina Jordan has a killer cover of this song - very different. Cheers!
Next,check out Cass Elliot,from this band,singing a duet with John Denver,called,Leaving On A Jet Plane live! You can thank me later!🎙🎶👍
Have you ever reacted to The Band and the Staples doing The Weight? It's awesome! Spectacular! Joyful! You can see it as performed in the movie clip from The Last Waltz. I love Mamas and Papas but The Weight with the Band and the Staples is a work of art
Guys, great reaction. It’s an iconic song of the 60’s and one of many brilliant The Wrecking Crew masterpieces. I was little when this came out but as a NYC kid I was CA dreaming’ too. And that’s where I went in the 70’s, still here.
How about some UK lads of the 70’s and 80’s Nick and Dave and Rockpile. Teacher, Teacher is awesome and a Nick lead. Crawling From The Wreckage is a Dave lead equally awesome. Like Lennon/McCartney the lead singer tends to be the writer. Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds. Nick is pure pop for now people and Dave would be Rockabilly.
HUGE Hit 🌟 (last chord was cut off on the video / that's what happened) ☄ 🌺 🥲
Cass Elliott really didn't like being called 'Mama Cass'
Cass Elliot was the star of the Mamas and Papas. She HATED being called Mama. It would be nice if people referred to her by name.
Really …. Interesting 🤨
Also, despite popular belief, she did NOT choke to death on a bologna sandwich. She actually died of a heart attack.
My favourite was 12.30
...and they wrote it too.
Definitely a required song if there were ever a 60’s soundtrack. Great vocal harmonies by the 4 of them and the instruments by none other than The Wrecking Crew (of course). This and “I saw her again” probably my favorites. In the song “I saw her again”, I always wondered why they didn’t fix that clear recording error on the last chorus when Denny starts in, a measure too soon, stops and then picks it up again, on time, in the right spot. The song wouldn’t sound the same without it though now.
It was always kind of a sour spoiler, learning years later about John’s grotesque infidelities with his and Michele’s daughter. To use the vernacular of the time; “What a drag. A real bummer, man.”
Mama Cass ist a legend ... what an epic voice! You can't go wrong buying a "Greatest Hits" album of this band! Not a bad song avaible! :) You need to check out the very famous song "Dream A Little Dream". I am pretty sure you've heard it somwhere before! :)
The Beach Boy same time.
Great songs to sing in the shower/car 😊
Canadian Denny Doherty had a great Tenor voice, and Cass Elliott was a force of nature.
Her solo career (1969-1974), was far too short.

You guys don't actually think that's live do you?
Yes, it really is them on the record but that's what you're hearing. They didn't really have an invisible bass player, drummer etc.
Love music, but these people are MEESSED UP!!!
We are 😂
I see YT ate my comnent on this one, too. And I * know * I left one. The video is liked, I definitely watched it as I LOVE this song, and I know I wrote something.
YT sucks (but not this song OR this reaction, those are great).
many commentators suffer a lot from YT eating their comments lately that is more intense but shemefully annoying!
@@alexioverdo5225 so annoying!
@EnderOllie 4
We did hear from a few others saying they thought the comments were lost, some were posted and other we lost.
