Monday Monday should be next. Definitely can’t trust that day.
Yes, second this!
Sometimes it just turns out that way.
A simple seeming song but really has a lot to it.
They also do "Dancing in the street', which is a great message and dance song itself.
“Dedicated to the one I love” - mamas and papas hit
Reminds me so much of my Mom. Haven't been able to listen to it since she's gone - almost 16 yrs now.
The vocals are still better than most stuff today
most?
@@africanfartingfrog lol 😆😂🤣
People sang with heart n soul back then
Auto tuned was barely heard of or even use. It’s all natural
When singers were popular for being able to sing, not their looks and auto tune
The song is based on a true story. John and Michelle Phillips were walking in NYC on a cold overcast day. Michelle had no coat and she and John took shelter in an old church to escape the cold. When they returned to their apartment in Greenwich Village they wrote the song. This is a classic and beautiful song.
"California Dreamin'" was written in New York City in 1963 by John Phillips (tall guy with blue shirt) during a bout of homesickness for his home state of California. The song actually "sat on a shelf" until its release in 1965 when it became the group's greatest hit. This song and video is among the most iconic recordings in music history.
John Philips is the guy in the vest and lead singer. He wasn’t a great husband and and a much worse father. You need to read about his story with daughter actress McKenzie Philips
Great history. Thanks
He was from South Carolina
@@acen2709 Denny Doherty is the guy in the vest and the lead singer.
@@acen2709 Who cares? What does that have to do with his music?
I'm a 76-year old-timer and grew up with groups like this. I hear you saying you would have loved to be there when they were around. I lived in a great age and would not change it for any other period to grow up in. There are so many memorable songs and I heard them all. You would have loved it.
Tony, I think that every time I listen to these sweet people! We were privileged to be around when music had such diversity of style and innovation. It’s hard to name favorites when everything then was really really good!!
Our digital effects were acid!! ;-)
Not intend to be a vibe killer...but the 60's were not a good time for black people.
@@leonardomendieta8160 The 60's were a great time for black people what are you talking about? It was the time where the emancipation of our black brothers and sisters began. The cultural explosion of the hippy movement was a great platform for black people's rights.
I know man. I'm 69 and went to Height Ashbury a couple a couple of times in the late 60's. Man what a show.
Amber actually is a Sixties person. She broke into a huge smile after three notes. She picked right up on hippy vibe of this music.
yeah i couldnt believe she never heard this before lol. 100% her song....also 100% my song. Its just so beautiful...cant put it in words.
I think both of them would fit in any generation- they are a super couple. I think your generation needs both of you- you make it shine. Thanks for the great presentations and the joy you exude.
Yup, born too late
Yup..I agree..
Amber is such a little hippie gal. She was just born too late!
One of the greatest songs ever written: perfect marriage of music, melody, vocals and transcendence.
agree.👍🏽
Their harmonization is an A+
I was fortunate to have been in my youth in the 60's and 70's...You would have loved everything about that time...I miss those days...
Me too.They were the best times.Young people today just have no clue how great it was
Music in the 60-70s is off the charts great!
Me to!!!
You don't know how much I miss those good old days! 😢
It Was the Best of times...
Those were the days my friend
Me to big time The late 60s and the 70s WERE FUN AS CAN BE
“Dedicated to the one I love” - mamas and papas hit
Oh yes, beautiful song...
When you think of their music, then consider the things John Phill
Phillips was doing to his own, underage daughter, the songs suddenly get a dark meaning.
The Sherills
Michelle Phillip's gets to lead on Dedicated...
And now you can see the special significance of Cass Elliot, sitting there at Monterey and looking at Janis Joplin in a state of wonderment. Cass herself was a powerful singer in her own right and for her to be blown away by Janis, you just know that Janis was extra special.
Always amazing to see reactions to this.
My mom was a backup singer for the Mamma's and Papa's, and Gene Pitney. She even liked to point out where in the song you could hear her more clearly.
I'm so thankful for her stories, and miss her more every day.
cool. i love the mamas and papas thanks for shating
They did not use backup singers to record this song.
How cool! Gene Pitney was one of my first idols as a young girl. Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and 24 Hours From Tulsa are still a couple of my all-time favorites (still have the LP). The ending of CA Dreamin still gives me chills, you can feel the freezing winter day (even in FL). My mom, coincidentally, was a singer and musician who toured with girls’ bands in the late 40s then later sang backup at Criterion Recording Studio for singers like Anita Bryant, 15-20 years before Gloria Esteban recorded there. I used to hear my mom on the radio, she sang late 1950s-early 1960s jingles. Her voice was prominent on the ad for Tropical Park, the posh racetrack of the time. Fun years in Miami. We had creative moms for their time!
@williamwoolhouse5018 What songs did she sing on?
You really need to listen to Jim Croce. We lost him way to soon. Great musician, songwriter and Singer. Time in a Bottle, I Got a Name, You Don't Mess Around With Jim etc. etc.etc.
YES. JIM CROCE. Please if you do react to Jim Croce Please do.... You don't mess around with Jim. First
Bad, bad, Leroy Brown as well!
Don’t mess with Jim! ❤️
Yes, do “Operator (that’s not the way it feels)” by Jim Croce.
Yes!
For Female Friday, can I suggest Mama Cass singing “Dream a little dream of me”? Cheers guys
Agreed!! Love it 💕
YESS LOVE THAT
Fantastic suggestion! 🥰❤️😍
YES!! Dream a little dream!!!!!!!!!!
Yesyesyesyesyes please
I just love the way Amber gets it..she explains every song perfectly. Love you Amber!!!
I grew up listening to The Mama & Papas. I was in junior high when this came out. It was beautiful then & still is. Mama Cass passed way to young.😢❤
Jr High School days also.....
Michele Phillips had never been outside of California before when they flew to New York to do a concert. As they were walking down the street Michele looked around and said "I don't like it here. All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray". John then wrote it down and had his hit song.
Same thing happened to me,I had never been out of California then I went to Texas and was like oh hell no,I don’t like this shit,I’m going back to Cali.
@Doug Sawyer You do. You took the time to comment. Thanks for playing though.
This was written in London and they were missing California
@@wright1776 It was written NYC just after they'd come back from spending a couple of months in the Virgin Islands. Michelle was missing CA and begged the guys to move there.
Yes and the Church was St.Patricks.
The sad thing is that "Mama Cass" Elliott died of heart failure at the age of 32.
Awful.. What a talent.
It's even sadder that it got turned into she choked on a ham sandwich. She was a great talent.
Rip Mama Cass ❤️
She hated being called Mama Cass. She died of being too fat and involuntarily couldn’t breathe. Dream a Little Dream is her famous song.
31
Mama Cass had an incredible voice and this group had great harmony. ❤
Around 2:25, Amber's reaction is absolute bliss... and the song has just started. It's like she was born to do reaction videos. And I can't blame her, this song has a haunting quality that gives me chills. I've always loved the Mamas and the Papas' version of it.
I feel sorry for anyone that didn't get to grow up in the 60's...that didn't get to hear all of the great music 🎵🎵🎶. Thnx for the 60 year old memories. I turned 72 this past August.
I know what you mean. I am 72 too.
We were blessed to have lived in a time when music was something profound and magical . Kids now have no idea what real music is or even was.
Lynng, I had minimal interest in music, so I might've missed hearing alot of 60s music. BUT, fortunately, my older sisters, seemed to ALWAYS be getting ready to go out for the evening....and always had WLS AM on the radio when we lived in Chicago.... and KYA AM on, when we lived in California. They're grandmotherly retired schoolteachers now. But, I always remind their kids and grandkids, that these two, introduced me to the best rock-and-roll music. (and a rare occasional puff of a doobie, too, but i don't tell the kids, that)
@Jordy Baxter Jordy, that's got to be painful. Wondering what life would be like, if a war, had not taken your brother from you.
lynn, the only thing great about being old (72) is that we were there, hearing all the greats when we were all young and beautiful. We had everything...Motown, Rock n' Roll, blue eyed soul, Jersey boys, Elvis, Beatles and supper club music like Sinatra, Joe Cocker, the BeeGees leading disco... It was heaven.
I am 60, my Mum loved this song, I loved it and the World loved it.....
Mama Cass 'Dream a Little Dream'
Showcasing her incredible voice...female Friday? Another angelic voice...
Bonnie Raitt
Absolutely support checking out Bonnie Raitt - not only a great singer, but a fantastic slide guitarist.
Bonnie Raitt “Love Has No Pride” and “Angel from Montgomery”
@@pattyestrada6 Yes, no one reacts to Love Has No Pride and it is one of the best songs ever. Bonnie Raitt is a great singer and interpreted Eric Kaz's masterpiece beautifully.
Mama Cass had such a beautiful voice!
Yes, Bonnie Raitt is much under rated. Another great voice for female Friday is Jennifer Warnes. Her covers of Leonard Cohen songs are great.
That 4 part close harmony was a signature of the "California Sound" after it evolved past the Beach Boys. The Byrds. The Turtles. Buffalo Springfield. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. You might also want to look into the Hollywood Hills / Laurel Canyon singer songwriters.
Excellent remark, just forgot to mention one thing, most probably all the above bands, the backing sound was created by the wrecking crew, you can hear Hal Blain leading it with that drum beat in the background!!
I grew up with this song ! Don't make me old, guys ! 🥳😂 How on earth didn't you know this song? ❤️🎵
The group only lasted about 2 1/2 years, but their impact is everlasting!
Guitarist was john phillips
All these reaction videos always amaze me. I am a woman of color, was a teen in the '70s, enjoyed all types of music, and exposed my sons to the same. Seems weird that others have no clue about so many artists.
Yes their impact was long lasting think Wilson Phillips the latter day group for a start regarding genetics
@@bonniechoate-tait730 the infamous john phillips. he also wrote this song
Mama Cass died 32 years off age in the same room that Keith moon died in obviously not the same night.
If you like that 60’s hippie vibe check out a group called The Fifth Dimension and listen to their song “Aquarius/Let The Sun Shine In”. See if you can find the actual video.
This song is included in that recently released Summer of Soul streaming film and the whole movie is pretty great.
Please do this song🙏it was in the end of the 40year old virgin Def a hippy song good call!
That is a fantastic suggestion!🙂❤👍
HERE'S A LINK....ruclips.net/video/oPK7ZF6jfJE/видео.html
And my favorite - "One Less Bell to Answer" (Marilyn McCoo is incredible) - ruclips.net/video/oPK7ZF6jfJE/видео.html
YES!!!
The vocal harmony wall is celestial. Let me also add that I was a young teenager during this period and it was incredible. I loved it and would go back right now if I could. The music, the karma, the beauty of songs and lyrics, the bell bottoms, the nehru jackets, the peace sign necklaces, the love in the air. The innocence. It was amazing.
Snap
I was 13 and loved loved loved them
I love when the reactors truly don't listen before they record
Would love to hear more about your expierences during this time period
We moved to California when I was 16, and this song has always resonated with me. I don't think there is another song more permanently embedded in my brain, it is brilliant.
Mama Cass was a great soul. Michelle and John Phillips, also in the band, have a daughter Chyna who is 1/3 of Wilson Phillips. Give their song Hold On a listen.
Another daughter ,MacKenzie player the older sister in 70's sitcom 'One Day at a Time'.
Younger sister was played by Valerie Bertanelli, who became Mrs. Eddie Van Halen.
@@chriso6719 OMG One Day at a Time was my fave show as a kid. I can't believe I forgot about 'kenzie.
@@chriso6719 she was also on a Disney show called So Weird
Wilson Phillips is a good group.
Carnie & Wendy Wilson (of Wilson/Phillips,) are the daughters of Brian Wilson of "The Beach Boys," whom you should check too.
One of the greatest groups of the 60s, next Monday, Monday.
I have a great reaction For ROB SQUAD ,,, Try the song SUGAR SUGAR by the ARCHIES It was HUGELY POPULAR IN 1969 AND 1970 ,, Trust me It will be on your play list , FOR FEEL GOOD MUSIC .. Take care. And thank you for your time and making videos
The sixties were/are unmatched for the sheer great caliber of music. The bands were all so good, and boy could they perform. It is so heartwarming to see young people enjoying the music I grew up with!
I was born in 1961. Have been into popular music since I was 5. And I love watching you beautiful young people discovering the music of my youth, in hopes others will always enjoy it for time immemorial. Thank you for sharing the love and joy!
Same here 1961, always loved music and love seeing younger people experience the joy we already know! Ear Candy!!!
John Phillips, the other male, also wrote the ultimate hippie song that you guys would love, by sung by Scott Mackenzie: "San Francisco (Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair)"
THAT is a 60s vibe, no doubt.
It was John Phillips who was one of the ones who organized the Monterey Pop Festival, during the summer of love, San Francisco, Wear Flowers in Your Hair, was the promotional song written for the festival.
From the Dance Music world, Global Deejays did San Francisco AND California Dreaming. You might not like dance music, but they do use the original artist's voice. Fun!
Yes, I was going to recommend this song as well, if you like that 60’s summer of love vibe. “San Francisco (Be sure to wear flowers in your hair)”
❤️❤️❤️❤️ San Francisco ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Wonderful song and my home city!!
Anyone that doesn’t like California Dreaming is a lost soul...
Yup I'm a California girl born and raised, it's my anthem 😊
Pity California is now a complete mess.
@@mrjinks5641 lolno
@@tastyneck
It’s the embarrassment of the US .
@Art Pili 🤣🤣 I’m not talking about the people of California it’s the halfwits that run it.
That are destroying it that’s why so many people are leaving.
So tell me what state do you think I live in and why do you assume I’m American 🤣🤣🇺🇸
You guys and girls that do reaction videos are giving yourselves (and us) such an enjoyable gift of musical discovery of all these amazing songs from the past! Nothing like experiencing the joy of music and song together. Love ya'll Cheers from Houston!
It's cool and refreshing to hear you guys appreciate great oldies! I grew up in Oklahoma but now in my fav city Corpus Christi TX for the last 21 years! My fav by Mamas and the Papas is "I Saw Her Again".
OMG my childhood. We had like 10 records and 2 were Mamas and Papas. I was a toddler dancing to this.
Monday, Monday is another of their songs you should check out.
Denny Doherty is the guy singing, John Phillips playing guitar, Michelle Phillips (married to John for awhile) and 'Mama' Cass Elliot.
The first of several wives for John
But this is when MacKenzie Phillips was born
@@johnedwards3630 Yes - MacKenzie - I loved her in the tv show - One Day at a Time
@@johnedwards3630 MacKenzie was born in 1959
@@johnedwards3630 Mackenzie was from John’s first marriage to Susie. He basically abandoned Susie and Mackenzie when she was a toddler to shack up with Michelle, who was only 17 or so at the time in the mid 60s.
You would LOVE the duet Mama Cass and John Denver singing "leaving on jet plane"
My favorite version of that song!
@@igna83 Yes! This is a MUST!
Awesome rendition!
Can't even hear her ease in with him.
@@igna83 Yeah? It's great, but my fave is John singing it with Peter Paul & Mary (who'd finally made it a hit) on _Something to Sing About,_ 1969.
Let me tell you guys the 60’s and early 70’s we’re unbelievable.
I was 5 years old when this song came out, and my parents played this album all the time. To this day, California Dreaming is still one of my Top 10 songs of all time. It's a true American classic. I'm so happy you two loved this performance so much. It has stood the test of time, for sure.
Omg!! Mama Cass! Her feet just can't keep still! R.I.P
If you like this, try "If You're Going to San Francisco" by Scott McKenzie.
Which was written and produced by John ( Papa ) Phllips.
As soon as amber said about being a hippy and flowers in her hair I thought of this song good call!
Yesssssss!
@@musik102 AND, can you believe, Mackenzie was not named after him.
What?? Not similar in any way!
Song brings me to tears every time I hear it! Love it! Timeless!! ❤❤❤❤
I have to admit I'm a classic rock fan and 61 years old but this song just kicks major ass and always love listening to it 😎👍
You don't hear harmonies like this in today's music Seems like harmony is a lost art
Not in the stuff that's played on the radio, but it's still happening, you just have to look for it. ruclips.net/video/Fajf6quLi84/видео.html
@@thorsluter7835 I was referring to today's popular music
@@BigPoppa6924 Yes, and I specifically referred to that in my comment, the larger point is that one can still find all kinds of good music (whatever their taste may be) still being created. And the fact of the matter is that the current generation is not consuming music through radio or other traditional media. I just find it puzzling when people bemoan the lack of good music out there when, in fact, there is tons of good stuff out there, and it's not that hard to find.
Excellent
my favorite band for Harmony's is The Association. My favorites are "Windy" ruclips.net/video/RsY8l0Jg3lY/видео.html and "Cherish" ruclips.net/video/MvHmJcjfBdA/видео.html please tell me something current and I'll give it a try. P.S. I'm 66 and an old time Rock and Roller.
This is one of the songs in my life that I never get tired of hearing
Ditto
Its stunning
Theses guys had such amazing vocal skills. I can’t even think of another group who can harmonize this way.
Shinee
Beach boys
You might like The Vogues.
Impeccable harmony. Mind blowing.
Now you're getting into the Groovy 60's. You should listen to their song "Monday, Monday".
Neil Young has said that when he was a young struggling musician in Canada, he heard this song on the radio and it was his inspiration to leave and move to Los Angeles...
Every time I see a video of yours I think “how the heck they never listened to that?”. We’re not talking about some shady B-side band. But then I see you enjoying and that’s give so much joy!!! And then I remember I also listened to that song for the first time once. You’re both amazing!
What a time to be alive in the 60s…I didn’t come along until 1984 but I love this song
I was born in 1960, So i was there
Great music. The backstage drama with them was next level though.
Yeah, they were 'fleetwood mac' before fleetwood mac, when it came to interpersonal drama....
@@shwicaz Came here to say the samething!
@@shwicaz if what Mackenzie Phillips says about her father John Phillips is true, they make Fleetwood Mac look like Sesame Street.
Michelle was married to John but having an affair with Denny, who Cass had a crush on.
Michelle was the Platonic ideal of the hippy chick.
@@elliekahl5305
Yeah, John Phillips turned out to be a garbage human being.
You seriously need to listen to "Dance to the Music" by Sly and the Family Stone!! You'll get your horn fix for the week!
You can also get your Happy fix if you listen to them doing "Hot Fun in the Summer Time"
@@oarueff It's a lot more mellow than Dance to the Music though. Great song!
Top in funk
I've suggested Sly before. Check out Everyday People and Thank You (For Letting Me Be Mice Elf Again). They are a funk, rock band with Horns and were the first major rock band with both male and female musicians and the first major rock band to be racially integrated. I had the pleasure to see them in concert in the early 70s.
Classic! Love the harmonies! 50 years later and the song still slaps!
This song was apparently voted one of the 10 best songs of all time. I can see why. I love Ambers reaction within the first few bars.
Check out their song "Monday Monday" and if you like these guys you will also love Peter, Paul and Mary for sure!
Creek Alley is a song of theirs that kinda tells their history.
The name of the song is "Creeque Alley" not Creek Alley. It took me awhile to figure it out when the song first came out.
still love this song today. bought a second hand original in the early 80s and used to play it with the volume turned up. The 80s! imagine what all the kids in my street were thinking.
My favorite ... Guilty of belting it out in the car.
It's Creeque Alley.and it is about their early struggles. They mention the Night Owl in it where John and Denny passed the hat. I worked there for awhile...loved the village life then. I, one time, was in the Fat Black Pussy Cat...a woman was singing and, God, shivers were going up and down my spine. I asked "who is that woman?" and someone said "that's Odetta". When you hear greatness you know it!
Vocals and harmonics like this will never be repeated. Often imitated, never duplicated.
Cass Elliot had one of the most AMAZING voices. You don't really get that with this sonng, but listen to "Dream a Little Dream of Me". She was epic!
One of my favorites!
Everyone is pointing out that the Phillips daughter Chynna was in the group Wilson Phillips but everyone seems to have forgotten that her older sister Mackenzie Phillips starred with Valerie Bertinelli in the 70s sitcom One Day At A Time. Michelle Phillips herself acted for a while on one of those nighttime soap operas that were popular in the 80s.....Knots Landing I think...
Mackenzie Phillips was named after John's best friend Scott Mackenzie who sang the big 1960's anthem, "San Francisco" (Flowers in your hair).
yes. let's not forget Mackenzie (great actress) who is sadly an addict reportedly mostly because of John. true??
She was also on an episode of Star Trek TNG.
@@Meaghan470 Oh, it's true. He admitted on TV that he personally injected her with heroin. That was the least of it. He was an astonishingly bad man.
Mackenzie also starred in American Graffiti from 1973.
The entire Mamas and Papas catalog will NOT disappoint!!
but the people behind the music will lol, theyre very weird people lol
Russ, you from Boys' Tech in Milwaukee?
Man putting a flute into any rock song (especially giving the flute a solo) is absolutely hard-core to me. Love it.
Gorgeous voices. They complement each other so harmoniously.
If you liked this, another one you may like is:
Aquarius / Let The Sunshine In by 5th Dimension
Great choice!
YES great choice. Try to listen to the bass player on let the sunshine in, it is incredibly.
Yes! Love Marilyn McCoo
Yes
Nay
Great great classic song, check out "Dream a Little Dream of Me"
Her voice in that song will put goosebumps up and down...
"Lazy" deep purple
Try The song DAZZ By THE BAND BRICK Released 1976 ,, Theres so much funk and stank face , GROOVIE as you you know what ,, And you will dace your ass off ,, I promise
I grew up with 60’s & 70’s music. Almost every group and singers were so good it was hard to have a favorite! We were about everyone getting along and helping each other including strangers! It was great!
I LOVE seeing a new generation discover a love for my Era's music. God Bless!!!
Mama Cass’s voice is incredible. Try, uh, I think the song title was “ Monday,Monday.”
A great artist for Female Friday is Etta James, “At Last” and “I’d Rather Go Blind”.
Etta James Almost Persuaded
At Last is the song that I used in my wedding to come down the aisle. It was perfect.
Grace Potter also does a decent rendition of "I'd Rather Go Blind".
@@martinliv Beth Hart does a great job of "I'd Rather Go Blind" as well.
Etta James gives me goosebumps when I hear her sing. Awesomeness!
I will sit in my car and finish listening to this song whenever it comes on
The way Amber and I would tambourine ourselves into this band if we were alive at the time. Just cheesing and playing our tambourines in the background. 😂
I was born in 1951 and it was right there when all this wonderful music happened. There was no other era like it!
AMEN
California then really was a paradise.
You lucky bastard !!¬!
@@mikegalvin9801 Now it's a Hell.
Eh…..
I'm a 60 year old woman from Georgia and I just have to say I absolutely ADORE you both and LOVE every single reaction yall do!!! I look forward to logging on to RUclips and seeing a new reaction video from yall!!
This song pretty much defines an era, the 60s era. To me this is the 60's Anthem song.
I moved to California because of this song. Still here 33 years later. Dream came true.
Another must hear The Mamas & the Papas song is "Dedicated to the One I Love"
Try Turn, Turn, Turn by the Byrds you'll will definitively like it
YES! They should definitely do this track.
You word definitely born in the wrong decade this group was one of my favorite artists of the 60s . You can't go wrong reacting to any of their songs as well as cass's solo songs. One of my favorites is if you're going to break another heart. It's amazing. It's very cool to see younger people like yourself enjoying the music from so long ago. Great music will last forever❤😊
I loved that she said that it’s giving her hippie vibes. Ugh so true. My thoughts exactly ☮️😁
17 years old in a VW mini van 7 of us headed to Woodstock and we changed in 3 days lol . You would have fit right in Peace out from this 69 years old ex-hippy.
So jealous ! I'm 52 and got to experience a lot of concerts (Elvis - I was a little girl) but I would have LOVED to experience Woodstock !!
I envy u your memories. If I'd had more guts I'll have seen u there. But hey once a hippie always a hippie, even if only in my heart.
It’s just a timeless classic, you don’t have to like this type of music to know this is a great song.
Is an across-all-borders song imo.
Agreed!
Denny Doherty's lead vocal and Bud Shank's flute solo make this track iconic.....
This song is to be loved. I've always loved the harmonies and the overall vibe of the song.❤
Guys, if y’all liked that vibe then try the band The 5th Dimensions song “The Age of Aquarius”
Or One Less Bell to Answer
Please don't.
@@scottski51 LOL
Yes “Age of Aquarius”! Such a good vibe! Amber would definitely love it! I think J would dig it, too.
That song is totally a vibe. I remember my mom listening to it over and over and I grew to love it as much as I rolled my eyes . now that my mom has passed I sometimes listen to it to bring back those sweet memories. Age of Aquarius baby!
What powered this group was Mama Cass's incredible voice- check out her duet with John Denver singing "Leaving on a Jet Plane".
Denny Doherty's voice was just as important.
Ya beat me to it!
@@BobSoltis1 Yes, Mama Cass & Denny Doherty's voices were exceptional. Michelle Phillips really wasn't much of a singer but she sure was pretty to look at.
@@serendipityshopnyc Check out the New Journeyman. Michelle can sing. She is the high harmony.
As a 27 year old Irishman, I wish I could have been there to hear this music when it was created. But I still love the artists of this generation, or the 90s to now, every Generation has value but I still love listening to these bands that my father grew up with. \m/
Only born in 65, but i Iove the hippie music!
I love you talking about Janis Amber. Just keep being who you are
I love that she loves Janis so much, Janis is amazing. Please react to “Maybe” you’ll love it.
I totally agree! Keep being you Amber
Her name is Cass Elliot, and she hated being called Mama Cass. She was an amazing talent that was often not allowed to shine or take center stage because her body was not considered attractive. It speaks to how talented she was to break through those conceptions that a woman had to be a particular kind of sexy to be on stage. Men could be ugly as hell and be stars, but women who weren't traditionally pretty almost never made it regardless of actual talent. RIP Ms. Elliot
I never could decide which was more upsetting, the Mama Cass Diet (hang a picture of her on your fridge to kill your appitite) or that even how she died was turned into a fat slur (claims she choked to death on a ham sandwhich which was not true).
@@Stari27 - TRUE! She died of a heart attack possibly brought on by many unhealthy fad diets or diet pills ..... again because of idiots calling her fat!!!
Stop projecting.
Although there were people who made fun of her weight, overall Cass Elliot was more than well received. In fact, she was clearly the star of The Mommas and the Papas. After the group broke up, Cass had a celebrated solo career and no shortage of work. I remember it distinctly.
It's just a shame, that she died so young.
@@sparky6086 - If you are referring to me, I'm not projecting. It was known that being mocked for her size, which was cruel and pathetic, did bother her. That is why it is a known fact that she used fad diets and medication in an attempt to lose weight. How is that derogatory?
Her cardiac condition very likely was in part a result of, not her weight, but her attempts to lose it. Medically, this was strongly suspected at the time, not just cruel gossip. It would be relatively unusual for someone her age to die of a myocardial infarction without some exacerbating circumstances. There were no drugs in her system at her time of death but Amphetamines, which were readily prescribed at the time for weight loss, have a stimulant effect and increase the heart rate and can be damaging.
For comparison, Karen Carpenter died not of starvation but of electrolyte imbalances and resultant cardiac effects brought on by her previous anorexia. She was trying to fight her way back to health at the time. Unfortunately too much damage was already done.
What I said is in no way a derogatory remark. I loved Cass, she had a sparkling personality and tons of fans. She was an amazing performer and singer. What I said in my remark was not a slur. Her death was partly due to the sad and unnecessary consequences of nasty people.
@@susieq9801 True. When anorexics try to "come back" and eat healthy, put weight back on, it ends up putting stress on the heart and other organs because the system has eaten away at them for fuel, since muscle and fat are gone due to starvation. "The damage is done"? You'd better believe it.
Those opening notes of the guitar are one my favorite openings of any song.
The thing about songs like this they are great whenever, but put them into their time period, and you can hear a whole era of vibe that permeated the psyche of a young generational movement. You can feel flower power and peace and love and psychedelia somehow.
It's an oldie, but a Hall of Fame type song. "Monday Monday" is their other huge hit.
Mama Cass also helped introduce the members of Crosby, Stills, and Nash. She had a great ear for harmony, and she believed these singers would sound excellent together. If course, she was right!
Not really. Could have been at Joni Mitchell's house where CSN first sang together. Their accounts vary. All these old rockers did a shit-ton of partying back in the classic '60s Laurel Cyn days, and their memories aren't the most reliable. Plus, CSN all knew each other before that night they all go on about.
They were huge in their day. They had about 8 top-ten hits. The singer's name is Denny Doherty from Canada.
Halifax, Nova Scotia to be particular. Or according to Michelle on Dancing in the Street...Hafilax, Nova Scotia :)
He played the harbour master in the children's TV series Theodore Tugboat.
Pure talent, pure music. Mama cass held those vocals so strong in this group.
This is a must song for EVERY PLAY LIST!
The song was written in 1963, when John and Michelle Phillips were living in New York City. John dreamed about the song and woke Michelle up to help him to write the song. He mentions how “all the leaves are brown and the sky is grey”, and how if he didn’t tell “her” (it is assumed that by “her”, he means his partner Michelle) he could “leave today”. It is essentially a dreamy love ballad to California and its warmer climate.
You guys are killing me, I swear!!
I simply cannot stop watching y'all!
I grew up in these times being born in 1961 and having 2 older sisters. They'd throw parties and I fortunately had the privilege of growing up to all these incredible songs!
I absolutely LOVE that you folks love this kind of music!
Much love Amber and Jay!!
Same for me. I am 61. I grew up in a dusty West Texas town, loved ALL music, but really had an affinity to rock and pop and jazz.
Born in '58 myself, but still lovin' those 60s and 70s. I like their reaction to Elton's songs, and even to
The Shawshank Redemption. :)
Yes Jordan and Amber are probably two of my very favorite people to watch on reaction videos they seem more sincere and everything about the reactions and I just love them being as young as they are and experiencing some of the older'70s mid-60s music on the pop side on the countryside their reactions are out of this world and I love the both of them
Same here
Love the Mama’s and the Papa’s and loved growing up in the 60’s!!! It was such an easy laid back time. Carefree. Lots of love
💞❤️💞
The legacy these folks left. I mean the family tree is just crazy lol...I will always love this. You guys are great.
