Jamel, Cass being a member of the Mamas & the Papas reminds me of a song from early 80’s by singer of another group, ABBA. Frida had a solo album come out just after ABBA broke up and the single from it that hit #13 (and was produced by Phil Collins (who played drums on it)...I Know There Is Something Going On. I’d LOVE to see you reaction! ruclips.net/video/p98PjtSfNWo/видео.html
Cass Elliot was a stunning singer taken far far too young ..... you need to react to Make Your Own Kind of Music, It’s Getting Better and Move In a Little Closer ..... stunning tracks that show off her voice beautifully ......
Cass Elliot was a fantastic talent!!! There would have never been The Mama’s and Papa’s without HER!!!!! Listen to her singing Leaving on a Jet Plane, by John Denver. They actually do a duet of that song, (which you can see here on RUclips) and they are fantastic together. They both have those effortless singing voices. It just comes so naturally to them. Like I said above, effortless, with ease, so natural. They make it look so easy. Cass Elliot was an incredible talent. You either have it, or you don’t, and SHE, my friends, SHE HAD IT in spades. One of my ALL TIME favorites!!!!! ❤️
It's a really old song Jamel.....goes back to 1931 with the first version recorded by Ozzie Nelson (of Ozzie and Harriet TV show fame). Lots of people have recorded it - Doris Day, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald......and the list goes on. Mama Cass....from the Mamas and Papas.
True Story: In 1989 I went on a camping trip with over 50 people, most of whom I didn't know. One night around a campfire people were drinking and someone had a guitar. He was playing old songs that hardly anyone knew. He played this one and I sang along, and heard a guy singing as well. I looked over, our eyes met, and we've been together ever since. How prophetic Dream A Little Dream was for us. He was and still is, my soul mate. We still dance to this song every wedding anniversary. Thanks you Jamel. 💖
I was 15 and my mother and I went to see her at The London Palladium , 2 days later we woke up to the news she had died. It was so sad. What a performance tho. Fabtastic
@@Mercutia In all my research, and all the “ rumors about her death, you are correct. It was a Heart Attack - and NO drugs were found in her. Still , these rumors persist. 📻😐
Omg! Really? So beautiful you had the chance to see her bright in her last days! Do you have any living memories you could tell about that day you saw her? Something she said? Would be more than pleased to hear them! Thank you ❤️
@@jeffking291 What happened was she was doing dangerous diet, which messed up her body. She under pressure and being picked on for her weight, she will always be amazing, sweet and talented woman. Her diet led to heart attack in her sleep.
That puts tears in my eyes.....Cass Elliot was so amazing! Just so much depth, emotion, and raw talent. We can only imagine what she could have gone on to had she lived a full life.....
Even better is her collaboration with Joni Mitchell and Mary Travers "I Shall be Released" ruclips.net/video/sEZFt5ZZj9s/видео.html Three of the purest voices in the folk/rock music of the 60's and 70's.
Hi Jamel! I'm a big fan, and because of that I'm honored that you have my art on your wall! I'm the artist of the Black Panther piece you have up. I drew it and my wife Linda colored it back in 1988. Keep up the great work!
@@sadee1287 but weight cycling is murderous on the heart. Heart conditions are often caused by yoyo dieting and diet pills - I remember friends of mine being put on them at age ten- if you can imagine that horror. Diet pills are amphetamines. And yes- enforced food restriction causes disordered eating in folks of ALL sizes. Diet culture kills so many people upon whom lazy doctors blame on size alone.
She was such a talented lady. We lost her too soon. You should also check out Carol King. You Got a Friend. And the classic Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow ruclips.net/video/WMGBcS0h-Ng/видео.html
There isn't enough of her, she left us so young. Her voice brings me to tears every time, in part because I so very much want more and more. Thanks for this, I am going to bed with happy and sad tears in my eyes.
Glad at 40 something you like her! I was there when they were happening...75 now & they all played free in People’s Park in Berkeley..ahhh; Janis too. BTW, Jamal..I’m very impressed by your scope of appreciation for such a wide swath of music at your young age & not having been there! Really appreciate you man. Love what you bring to the table. We’re all so fortunate. Keep up the great work! Mahalo from Kaua’i🌺
Cass Elliott and Karen Carpenter were two of my idols growing up. Their voices were in my range, and part of why I have been singing in choirs all my life.
@@jeffking291 Top 5 takes you into very deep water, Jeff. Not ready to join you at that depth. You're in the territory of Ann Wilson and Linda Ronstadt, for example, in the Top 5 with so many others that need to be considered.
@@onespecies-human344 Don’t be ridiculous. No one person or group started the multifaceted movements of the time. Certainly not the Mamas and the Papas, although they participated in it.
Besides having this amazing voice, Mama Cass was an important influence on so many young musicians. She had a kind of Gertrude Stein "salon". They all gathered at her house, supposedly Crosby Stills and Nash first sang together at her house.
Would love for you to do any or all of these four by The Mamas & Papas..."Dedicated To The One I Love"..."I Saw Her Again"..."Creeque Alley"..."Monday Monday"....all great!💙🌿💚
Jamel, you just recently reacted to her singing as part of her iconic '60's group, The Mama's & Papa's and she was the astonished lady with the big butterfly ring watching Janis Joplin singing Ball & Chain at the Monterey Pop Festival. Can you believe that John Phillips did not want to include her in their group because of her weight?! Clearly she had the best voice of the group with a personality to match, so I have heard. Gone way too young.
As amazing as that performance of "Ball And Chain" was, my very favorite part of the actual video is Mama Cass at the end, shaking her head and mouthing "wow."
Frankly, I believe her. Many reasons why I do that I don't want to share here. Phillips may have been a very talented guy, but wins no humanitarian awards in my book. Not that any of this matters really, just an opinion.
I heard that he didn't want to include her because her voice didn't match what he wanted for the group. It was only after her voice changed after being hit on the head by something falling on her that she fit vocally with the rest of the group. I remember seeing a documentary about the group, and this was the story I remember being told.
Cass had one of the most beautiful voices of the 1960s and beyond. She could sing a glorious lead or add a beautiful harmony line to anything that was brought to her. It's such a shame she passed away so young. In truth, she disliked the Mama moniker as that was only when she was a member of The Mamas and Papas. The Mama name evoked so much pain she endured because of her size, her only true public pleasure was when she sang in her angelic voice. This is probably her best moment as a solo artist, giving her a chance to sing a much older song with some wonderful Blues roots, something she excelled at.
Greetings my friend. Years since I heard the incomparable Cass Elliot and boy she's G O O D!! In the good old days of vinyl I had an LP of hers I played over and over. More of her please, don't care which song because she could S A N G...Thank you, stay safe and blessings...
I grew up just down the street from her in Alexandria.....I sang this to my daughter EVERY night as her "bedtime song" and now she sings it to my granddaughter. My mother sang it to me. She's the one making the "WOW" face during the Janis Joplin video. NO ONE could sing it like it her. She's probably the best known for it. God Bless her and RIP Mama Cass....she was amazing!!
If you watch Janis Joplin at the Monterey Pop Festival the cameraman flashes on Mama Cass in astonishment sitting in the audience. Love watching her little dance when she's singing with The Mamas and Papas.
Isn't it great how we can tie all this stuff together for Jamel? He reacted to Ball and Chain a LONG time ago and I'm sure he had no idea at the time who this woman was that the camera man kept pointing to.
Yes, the original is better, and clearer. You can't hear her voice in this one too well, drowned out. Check out the original of her 'Words of Love' with the Mamas and Papas.
My first celebrity crush. I was like nine years old and just adored her. The joy she with which she would throw back her head and belt it out was contagious.
Hey Jamel! Cass Elliot, I remember seeing her sing live on many shows in my youth. A pure and powerful voice, indeed! This is a sweet song and doesn't require power but when she sings a tune that does, she isn't guilty of "belting" it out, she just has power.
Mama Cass Elliot was a queen. She was the backbone of the Mamas and the Papas. Great singer. So nice to see Jamel that you appreciate true singers. Peace 🙏🏼
So sad that she was a victim of fat-shaming back in the day. Her soaring voice with the Mamas and the Papas was amazing. They truly epitomized the Hippy movement of that time; peace and love (with some drugs mixed in!).
This was a cover that permanently changed how everyone did this song. This song started its life as a peppy dance tune, but Mama Cass did it is a ballad and, after that, everyone thought of this song as a ballad. It's rare that a cover is so good that it changes forever how a song is performed.
First off I wish what many do we still had Mama Cass & that phenomenal voice. She was truly a gem that got a short shine but still a long lasting one. Secondly, Jamal...I was born 93 lil Latina girl but my brothers and parents did play music before Auto tune days. In high school I concert band. No March band. I played the clarinet & bass clarinet in 4 years I got introduced to so much more great music from 1920s back to the 90s. (this is what I call a Christmas miracle). I was cleaning out a hotel room with my mom. The guests had left we we're preparing it for someone else. I'm a year into playing with the band. I found an iPad full of stuff like Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Miles Davis to The Doors, The Beatles (which O already loved) some Elvis I hadn't heard. An so much more. The rule was if the guest didn't claim the item, the housekeeper could have it or it'd get thrown out. So my mom let me keep it. That was a great time. It's one thing to be around for bands like type of negative, Alice in chains, Pearl Jam and others from 90s -2000s even some 2000s-2010s but you're right there is that spark missing now. I don't know. Thanks for giving me a good morning and reading this rant. Happy Sunday brother 😊
Beautiful voice and song! Mama Cass left us too soon! This song was in the movie Leap Year. Love watching you on your music journey! You touch people w your realness! Definitely need people like you to spread the richness of music 🎶
I think that Cass knocked it out of the park with her vocals... she outsang John and Michelle.. Denny was pretty amazing too. This song came out when I was about 5 (her version of it)... it reminds me of my mom for some reason.. she really liked it and I remember her singing it around the house from time to time back in the day. Moms been gone for quite awhile. Thanks for bringing back good memories. Thanks, again, for keeping great music alive. Peace, brother!!
First time I saw Mama Cass it was this Video... At home by myself... Watching TV andI saw a large lady walk out onto the stage and waited for the Opera She sang this song and I was hooked on Mama Cass for life... An amazing voice and perfect tones
OMG, Jamel, you brought tears to my eyes. When my Dad was in the hospital battling cancer, I walked into his room late one night to visit him and he glanced at me irritatedly and urgently said "Shhhh! Wait. I'm giving your mother a goodnight kiss". He had taken a tape player of this song and held it up to the phone. It was so romantic. I'm so glad you appreciate the pure talent of Cass Elliot. She was a wonder.

😎🌞🌵Jamel, absolutely love your reactions and finding this music that I have totally forgotten eons ago. By you doing these songs I can start rebuilding my music library of these amazing songs.

Cass and Karen Carpenter. Two of the greatest female vocalists of all time. Both gone way too soon.
And both for the same reason- eating disorders. Our culture should just let people be - every body is a body deserving of kindness and respect.
I would add Patsy Cline to that list. Thanks.
Amen!

I agree!

Paloma Faith did a great cover version of this song!
Always loved this song. It's like a lullaby. Cass Elliott was classically trained and her goal was Broadway.

She was born in Park Heights, a Jewish community in Baltimore. Her real name is Ellen Naomi Cohen.
And she borrowed her new first name from Peggy Cass, oddly enough.
Jamel, she is the one they put the camera on when Janis Joplin was singing at Monterey Pop Festival.
Exactly right. Nowhere to hide. Just a beautiful voice. Real talent.
Coincidentally, I heard Graham Nash say in an interview that Mama Cass was instrumental in introducing him to Crosby & Stills + Young : )
Hey Jamel try Mama Cass "It's getting better" really show cases her voice. She was Mama Cass because she was a founding member of the Mamas and Papas.
Me and my wife had this play at the end of our wedding ceremony, beautiful song.
Another talent who came to a tragic end very young.....wonderful voice 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵

She said "wow that's heavy".
Voice of an Angel. Make your own kind of music is great too
She was from the singing group called "The Mamas and the Papas." Hence the name "Mama" Cass.
A Great choice for your reactions. MAMA Cass... Another GREAT Performer who left us Far TOO Soon.
what a voice!, reminds me of ann wilson from heart
Her voice was by far the most notable in the Mamas and Papas. Wonderful talent. Thanks for paying attention to great female artists.

The rule was if the guest didn't claim the item, the housekeeper could have it or it'd get thrown out. So my mom let me keep it. That was a great time. It's one thing to be around for bands like type of negative, Alice in chains, Pearl Jam and others from 90s -2000s even some 2000s-2010s but you're right there is that spark missing now. I don't know. Thanks for giving me a good morning and reading this rant. Happy Sunday brother 😊
The song is from 1931 it's been recorded hundreds of times,they called her Mama Cass because she was in the band the Mamas and Papas.
Mama Cass. What a Woman! My Mom used to sing this and ‘Strangers In The Night’ to me in the cradle. Love Ya Mama!
Mama Cass's best song is "Words of Love" with The Mamas & The Papas. 💜 Check it out 😊
Beautiful voice..beautiful face!
Please react to "Midnight at the Oasis"

That's a little bit of freaky-deaky, as he says.

Love that song. Reminds me of listening to Art Bell's old radio show.
That's one of my favorite songs.
I remember Doris Day singing this on a special. Too weird!😂🤣😂
Mama Cass had a wonderful voice.
Written 1931 & first released by Ozzy Nelson
Beautiful voice and song! Mama Cass left us too soon! This song was in the movie Leap Year. Love watching you on your music journey! You touch people w your realness! Definitely need people like you to spread the richness of music 🎶
It was in a movie called “THE NOTEBOOK” with Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams!
Love...love...love...this song....She was Amazing....R.I.P Beautiful Lady......
🎶🎶Make Your Own Kind Of Music 🎶🎶
"Dream A Little Dream", was the name of the movie with James Coburn and Corey Feldman. ✌
Not James Coburn, Jason Robards.
I have always loved this song
She was actually a Jewish woman, born Ellen Naomi Cohen.😉
Can't get more Jewish than that!
Beautiful woman with the voice of an angel!
I love this song so so so much! Great stuff man!
I think that Cass knocked it out of the park with her vocals... she outsang John and Michelle.. Denny was pretty amazing too. This song came out when I was about 5 (her version of it)... it reminds me of my mom for some reason.. she really liked it and I remember her singing it around the house from time to time back in the day. Moms been gone for quite awhile. Thanks for bringing back good memories. Thanks, again, for keeping great music alive. Peace, brother!!
Another great track by "Mama" Cass is "Young Girl's Lament"
Mama Cass was a funny gal. She had a great sense of humor. And of course a gorgeous voice! How fun it would’ve been to hang with her!
You should react to Cass Elliott singing "Make Your Own Kind of Music."
First time I saw Mama Cass it was this Video... At home by myself... Watching TV andI saw a large lady walk out onto the stage and waited for the Opera
She sang this song and I was hooked on Mama Cass for life...
An amazing voice and perfect tones
Would love some more Cass Elliott, maybe It's Getting Better or Make Your Own Kind Of Music.
OMG, Jamel, you brought tears to my eyes. When my Dad was in the hospital battling cancer, I walked into his room late one night to visit him and he glanced at me irritatedly and urgently said "Shhhh! Wait. I'm giving your mother a goodnight kiss". He had taken a tape player of this song and held it up to the phone. It was so romantic. I'm so glad you appreciate the pure talent of Cass Elliot. She was a wonder.

I think I remember watching this on tv. Beautiful voice. Thanks.
Before “The Notebook”, the song was in a movie called “Dream a Little Dream” with Corey Haim and Corey Feldman.
You beat me to it! Love that movie 😍
@@evabartlett4599 oops lol😁
I love that movie too, it’s a classic!
So beautiful ... I have always loved this song, and Cass killed it.
There was a live concert with Janis Joplin on stage singing and whose got front row seats watching?? Mama Cass!
Monterey Pop Festival. John Phillips, of Mamas and Papas, was instrumental in organizing the concert. I believe Cass also helped with it.
What a beautiful powerful voice she had! Loved her! ♥️🎼🎶
There’s a video of Mama Cass, Joni Mitchell and another singer (can’t remember her name) singing I Shall Be Released. You’d find it beautiful!
Mary Travers of Peter, Paul, and Mary.
Yes, the great and beautiful late Mary Travers
Here ya go: ruclips.net/video/sEZFt5ZZj9s/видео.html
Had such a beautiful voice, so much talent solo too. . ,And with the Mama's and Papa's - Great harmony.
I'm in "harmony" mode! Won't stop until I get your reaction to Stevie Nicks and Kenny Loggins "Whenever I Call You Friend " 1978ish!!! Thanks Mr. J.!
Check out "Creeque Alley"....their biography song about their own band
Yes = this is a "top of the list" song by The Mamas and the Papas.
Excellent song. My favorite is Young Girls Coming to the Canyon
Great song
😎🌞🌵Jamel, absolutely love your reactions and finding this music that I have totally forgotten eons ago. By you doing these songs I can start rebuilding my music library of these amazing songs. And your correct that a lot was said in these songs that only lasted less then 4 minutes by people with fantastic voices and that most singers nowadays can’t even hold a candle to. 👏👏👏👏👏 JOY PEACE HEALTH AND HAPPINESS 👍☝️✌️😎
Words Of Love really shows off her amazing voice. She's up there with Karen Carpenter as THE best.
Mama Cass had one of the best voices ever. So smooth. A voice from my childhood. Adore this song.
She was just called Cass Elliott. She hated being called Mama.
Yeah. The trouble is Mama Cass struck a chord. No one ever said Mama Michelle
And her voice was so velvety and sweet.
@@texadan314 tru dat!!! 😉
My da was always a big jazz/blues fan and those songs always helped me through the bad times growing up in NI
When are gonna have some Cat Stevens?
John Savva "Father and Son" would be a good one.
Morning has broken.
"Peace Train"
Moon Shadow.
Please do some Cat Stevens!!
I LOVE this song....Mama Cass did it so eloquently and sweet. thx for sharing Jamel!
