That extraordinarily beautiful voice ... enough said. Thank-you Denny, for the legacy of your voice, music, and acting for us to cherish. Rest In Peace, dear Denny.
Denny was the Voice of the band, none of the songs would have sounded like that without him. I feel like he didn't get enough attention and respect. Thank you Denny this singing.

This conversation is going nowhere fast,I shan’t bother replying again ,but as regards not answering questions I repeat why did you assume I’m white,many black people would not have taken umbrage at the lyrics as you did,they are too bright!as for if the lyrics had said all white from head to toe it would not really made sense in the context of the song,also I’ve got no need to be offended by about my colour anyway.goodbye,just enjoy a fab song!
@ Colin Wilkes. I did not say the hypothetical lyric “white from head to toe” was meant to be used in the context of the song. I stated that you would not want to hear a lyric like that in ANY song because it would be derogatory.
@@rozchristopherson648 No, seriously! See below: Soot noun a deep black powdery or flaky substance consisting largely of amorphous carbon, produced by the incomplete burning of organic matter.
I love this song but I would rather they substitute the line "I wouldn't want to be...all black from head to foot" with "I wouldn't want to be...with dirt from head to foot."
@@colinwilkes8957 You would not say it’s “nonsense” if you were black. Suppose the lyric read “I wouldn’t want to be...all white from head to toe.” How would you feel if someone black sang that lyric in a song?
What I meant in my clumsy way was that the issue of colour never even occurred to me.the lyrics are fine as they are,anyhow how do you know I’m not black,I’m sure some are called by my name.
@@colinwilkes8957 Your characterization of politically correct as “nonsense” exposes who you are. And you did not answer my question about the lyric written as “I would not want to be all white from toe to toe.” I dare say that would be an offensive line, regardless of the context. It has a subliminal effect even though the context may not be race. So not answering the question also reveals who you are.
One of the most dark, psychedelic and beautiful pieces of pop music ever made. Perfection.
Agree!
Just discovered this song. So different from the major hits of this group. I am so pleased to listen to this song 🤩
Denny Doherty had a lovely voice and of course Cass too , super group . Lovely harmonies .

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
Denny agrees with you. He said this was his personal favorite Mama and Papas song that he sang
Denny was the Voice of the band, none of the songs would have sounded like that without him. I feel like he didn't get enough attention and respect. Thank you Denny this singing.
By far the least known but best song they've ever done
John Phillips was a musical genius
And rapist and did incest
@@asf-xj6xz A musical genius, nonetheless. That he was not a great person does not diminish the greatness of his artistic output.

Yes! I listen to this part often.
pure poetry.so beautiful
beautiful song and beautifully sung.
They certainly don’t make songs like this anymore, a shame. I always get “lost” in this song.
They don't compose Melody today. A shame. They could...but they take the easy way out.
Those harmonies,sublime!

Not Michelle on this recording. It was done during the period where she'd been fired and replaced by Jill Gibson.

The 1960's were magical......
Magnificent, Beautiful !!!
How magical
Absolutely gorgeous

Wonderful!

I love this song so much
I seem to remember someone mentioning "The Desert Song " in relation to this song.. as far as the Dancing Bear, i can't help but remember that those poor bears were being shocked - that's why they "danced"
But I have to add, what a beautiful song for the ages...
one of my faves.
Even Bing was a fan.

They’ve probably realised it but the reply 35 mins ago was for roz christophson
No doubt about it, Doherty could sing...and Papa John could write.
Note of fact:. Jill Gibson sang soprano on this and not Michelle, you can hear it in the high notes.
Was Jill hiding in the back?
i also this this is true!They kept the original take of Jill before Michelle came back for re-recording.But only studio engineers knew and Lou Adler.
@@lupitacajero7185play back
Michelle said her voice was too thin - I’m assuming love conquers all
1:50 WTF Denny? Me-Ultra?
Because Jill Gibson is singing with Cass in this recording.
Her singing is a lot better and improves the song
I don't think that's Jill Gibson. Michelle recorded the vocals for the song before she was temporarily fired from the band.
@@mistersurrealist Incorrect. Michelle never sang on this recording and Trip, Stumble and Fall, and Strange Young Girls, all Gibson
@@SteveChapman1204 This is incorrect. Michelle recorded overdub vocal takes for Strange Young Girls
@@ilovetati91 Jill and Cass originally recorded this song. There is talk that Michelle did some over lays but the truth is they only had 8 tracks then so they would need another track to 'overdub" Michelle.
Yeah okay bing is that what they really said
