A mí también me pone el vello de punta. Una bellísima canción que me llena de nostalgia. Hoy día es muy difícil encontrar obras maestras como esta. Una canción inmortal.
Emma, FYI, this song came out in 1965--when I was 18, the wind instrument partway through was an alto flute, and they were wildly popular during this era. The first girl was Michelle, #2 was Mama Cass, #3 was John, and #4 was Dennis.
Great song, I grew up in the 60's when this song came out and lived in California. It was a big hit back in the day and brings back some great memories.👀👀
Mama Cass Elliot had a solo career as well. If you've ever seen Janis Joplin''s performance of "Ball & Chain" at Monterey Pop, Cass Elliot is the female spectator who keeps saying, "Wow!" at the end.
Cas's influence on the music of the time went far beyond her performances on stage or in the studio. Her production efforts and keen insight boosted many music careers, a fact for which she is rarely recognized. In fact, it was she who introduced Steven Stills to an unknown struggling musician named Neil Young.
Wonderful to see you so happy today. Great reaction Emma! Folk rock. Had quite a bunch of hits 'Monday,Monday' 'Go where you wanna go' 'I saw her again' ' Dream a little dream of me' ' Dedicated to the one I love'
Surprisingly, their first single (1965) "Go Where You Wanna Go" didn't chart anywhere, yet still remains one of their better known songs. Still gets airplay on oldies radio, it was used in tv commercials.... It did, however, become a #16 hit for The 5th Dimension the following year.
I grew up listing to this amazing musical quartet. Mama Cass Elliot vocals was top notch. But Micelle Phillips was also an amazing soprano in the group. She co -wrote the song California Dreamin. But a lot of people don't know that Phillips was also superb actress. She was nominated for a Golden Globe Award in 1973.She also an actress in the popular TV soap opera Knots Landing in !987.
The mother, along withcPapa John of MacKenzie Phillips(Julie Romano on the original One Day At A Time tv comedy) and the Sisters Phillips in the Wilson Phillips singing group.
The Mamas and the Papas had their origins in New York City as parts of the Greenwich Village Folk music scene of the early '60s. Denny Doherty came from Halifax, NS🍁and John Phillips from Virginia. Cass Elliot was from Maryland and had a Jazz and Theatre background. Eventually they went to California where Michelle Phillips joined the group. They merged their Folk roots with the Beat/Pop style of music to form their own unique sound. They had 7 Top 10 hits between 1965 and 1968. John Phillips also wrote the song "San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers in Your Hair)", recorded by Scott McKenzie. After the breakup they each attempted solo careers, with Cass achieving the most success with 3 Top 40 singles.
Fantastic Reaction Emma! Momma Cass’s voice was very strong. Michelle Phillips (Blonde on the left) is the only remaining living member of the band. Denny Doherty (CDN) was the gent who hit those high notes at the beginning. And John Phillips on guitar. This remains today one of my all time favourite songs! (Even though I was only 8 months old when it was released as a single)
Absolutely KRASIVAYA, just sheer magic listening to four great Singers, Singing along in Harmony; A song that helped define an era, and is still beautiful Today; And Emma is 100% correct it is uplifting Music, enriches the soul and after Hearts finally got their act together, it just caps of a Chudnyy Weekend, so a big thank you to Emma, please stay upbeat; Also wasn't it just Chudesno too see Emma so happy, relaxed and just having FUN; But quickly back to the Song, and Emma gave a Spokoynyy Uchtivyy reaction full off Shchegol'stvo and dusha; Cleverly and adroitly mixing in her analysis with total and complete ocharovaniye; Lastly Emma just looks so incredibly and stunningly KRASIVAYA; 🦅🥰😘❤👏🙏🙏👍🎶🎵🎶🎧🎙💐🍁🍁🦅.
The agonizing thing about this song it that we didn't get at least one more solo vocal verse by Denny Doherty. His voice is just amazing and it's a crime the song was so short and didn't give us more by him.
Michelle Phillips', the blonde, daughter, Chyna, and sisters Wendy and Carnie Wilson, daughters of Beach Boy Brian Wilson, formed a group in 1989. Calling themselves Wilson Phillips and had a massive hit with "Hold On" they played in regular rotation on MTV. Worth a look.
I was born in 1950 so I was a teen in the 60's and I love this a long with others you might want to check out a couple that don't get a lot of requests but are really good they covered an old Beatles tune "I call your name" and an original "I saw her again" released after Michele rejoined the group after a few months absence!!
When this song came out, it became a kind of an anthem of California, especially Southern California. It played a lot on our tinny little transistor radios......still sounded good tho!
Cass was known for her power but Michelle could belt it out too. Great example is Dedicated to the One I love, live on Ed Sullivan. Ed's show had a full orchestra to back any singers or bands. They often rearranged songs to be shorter. By mid 60s he was letting them do whole songs.
Nice reaction again dear Emma on a very nice song. Another one to watch is Hold on From Wilson Phillips , they are the Daughters of the Mamas and the Papas. Hope you give a reaction to this one also. Always nice to look at you and your reations Emma 😘
What makes your reactions so fun is your quirky personality as well as your knowledge, beauty and ability to show you know of which you speak and sing!
Thanks for doing THIS reaction ..... Mamas and the Papas, ICONs. At the end of your reaction, YOU mentioned the second woman from the right ...... that IS the legendary Mama Cass, RIP, what amazing person AND voice. From .... a HUGE fan .... of this group, we MISS her. I just subscribed to your channel .....
I was in high school when this song came out. I lived in San Marino, California, which is in Los Angeles County. I listened to the song a lot in those days. Then I graduated from high school and moved to Arizona!
The Mamas and the Papas were a great 4-piece in the '60s. They did a song called Creeque Alley with lyrics about other people in bands at the time, and whom they knew, and how they 'made it'. Great song you should check out. Yes, Cass Elliot had an incredible voice as did Denny Doherty (who sang the solo bit). They knew one another before this band, and he was in Cass' band called the Mugwumps. If you want to check out an unusual song from the '60s but that is just lovely as can be, go for the baroque pop song by the Left Banke called Pretty Ballerina. They had a hit with that and with Walk Away Renee. The composer was 15 year old Michael Brown, band member in love with the bassist's girlfriend at the time. The singer was 17 year old Steve Martin Caro who had a perfect voice for their songs. Additionally, the song was written in Lydian mode, which is not usual as I expect you know. ❤
This style of pop music is called Sunshine pop which is known by the harmony vocals. 60's groups like Spanky and Our Gang, The Free Design, The Fifth Dimension, The Friends of Distinction, The Association, The Love Generation and others had varying degrees of success. Loved your reaction to this gem. You should check out some Mama Cass Elliot solo albums to hear her strong pipes.
You should give "Creeque Alley" a listen. It's a musical narration story of how the group was formed in its early years. The lyrics mention, directly or indirectly, many artists and bands who were part of the folk music scene at the time, including fellow band members Cass Elliot and Denny Doherty, Zal Yanovsky and John Sebastian of the Lovin' Spoonful, Roger McGuinn of the Byrds, and Barry McGuire of the New Christy Minstrels. The verses end with, "And everybody's getting fat except Mama Cass."
This song was released in December 1965 and it still sounds great. John Phillips (Playing the guitar) was a superb song writer and a masterful arranger. Denny Doherty singing lead and Mama Cass Elliott (The heavyset girl) who both had awesome voices along with Michelle Phillips who was married to John and also had a good voice were the Mamas and Papas. Sadly they are all deceased except Michelle, she is the only one still living. I grew up with this music, I loved it then and I STILL do.
So refreshing you are. Yes, "Mama" Cass Elliott had a silky strong voice. in the '70s our family had a The Mamas Papas LP, and i want to get a copy ... if I can just locate which it was. There was a song called "Stringman" on it in which Cass really sang ...
Mama Cass did a beautiful hit song called DREAM A LITTLE DREAM. Mama was in the audience, mouth agape, at the 1967 Monterey Pop International Festival (The Who; Jimi Hendrix; Otis Redding... many more) when Janis Joplin sang BALL AND CHAIN... which was basically her introduction to the world. Do see that video!
You picked up on the magic, the "overtones". They used to joke about it in the studio, when they were cranking it was almost like a couple more members were joining in.
The lead singer, Denny Doherty, is from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, very close to where I'm from. Unbelievable voice. Younger people in Canada may remember him later in his life as the Harbourmaster/narrator of the Canadian TV Show Thodore Tugboat from 1993 to 2001.
You have a great ear for the harmonies of The Mamas and The Papas. Legend has it that during the recording of the album California Dreamin' (If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears) appears on, Phil Spector walked into the mixing booth and asked the sound engineer, "where are the extra voices coming from?". The harmonies were so precise, the collective voices created subharmonics that made it seem like more than four people! Truly astonishing, considering the era; no digital, no resonate overlays, no autotune. Just pure talent, plain and simple.
*Denny Doherty. Denny McLain was a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. or maybe you were thinking of Denny Laine of the Moody Blues/Wings. All those talented Dennys!
For every guy I knew 'back in the day', Michelle was definitely #1 in their fantasy files. I mean, c'mon, how could she possibly not be ( unless you were also considering Bardot, Tuesday Weld, Yvette Mimieux, Rachel Welch, Jayne Mansfield, Julie Christie, Claudia Cardinale, Jane Fonda, Agnetha Faltskog, etc.)
Acting like she had never heard this song before was unbelievable. She had to have listened at least once (or a dozen times) before making this reaction video.
The Beech Boys did a great cover of this song with the blessing and cooperation of The Mamas and the Papas. Some members of The Mamas and the Papas are in the Beech Boys official cover video of this song.
This song always made me feel a bit melancholy and sad as though it was talking about good times from the past. I grew up with hearing this song on the radio and it sounds just as good today as it did back then. Another song with great vocals is one from System of a down called, "Lost In Hollywood", and it's not like the usual SOAD song at all and I think it's right up your alley Emma.
Can you imagine them just sitting around figuring out the harmonies? Cass was known as an outstanding hostess in the Laurel Canyon days. Hosting a who's who of talent. No doubt some of the greatest compositions of the generation came from The Canyon
Cass Eliot had the best voice that I have ever heard. She is the heavy girl. Don't judge by looks, listen to her solo, "Dream a Little Dream of Me." All of this group's songs are hits.
Check out the Seekers…from Australia..a couple of years before The Mamas and the Papas…1964..The Seekers knocked The Rolling Stones and The Beatles off the top of the charts with their own number one…I’ll Never Find Another You…the girl had a unique voice…Judith Durham..died a few years ago…
The guy playing the guitar is John Phillips, who did the arrangements for their music. The girl on the end was his wife at the time, Michelle Phillips. The girl with the more powerful voice is Cass Elliot, who sang lead in a number of their songs. The guy singing the lead part in this is Denny Doherty. The members all had a folk music background, which is part of what led to this folk-rock group's sound. Edit: It occurs to me that I could add that John and Michelle Phillips' daughter Chynna Phillips grew up to be a member of the pop trio, Wilson Phillips. The other two girls in the trio are daughters of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. Their names are Carnie and Wendy. Their mother is a less well-known singer from the 60s named Marilyn Wilson-Rutherford (formerly just Rutherford of course).

I was born in 1946 and I'm so glad to have lived thru several decades of great music like this!!
Something to be said for being older. Im 55 ..we had the best of years for lots of stuff.
@@Daehawkim 65 years old. My groove was the 70’s music
Born 1956, all this music formed the foundation from which I became a music teacher.
I would not want to be born in any other year than I was: 1962.
1949 here. I grew up with this fantastic music, which still brings a tear to my eyes and wonderful memories.
The level of yearning in this song is bottomless. So many years have passed, but the vibe of longing to be happy is universal.
Mamas and Papas always had fabulous and clean harmonies.
The original version with the voice of Michelle Phillips and Mama Cass ruclips.net/video/P5jbWlBivfw/видео.html
A little fact about the second girl as you put it (mama cass) is she passed away from choking on a cheeseburger I heard
But I’m sure somebody will try to correct me they always do lol
@@kevinhayes1656 Heart Attack
This song never gets old even though its old it timeless
Their harmonies still give me goosebumps and raise the hair on my arms!!!🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
A mí también me pone el vello de punta. Una bellísima canción que me llena de nostalgia. Hoy día es muy difícil encontrar obras maestras como esta. Una canción inmortal.
Mama Cass. And the harmonies on this are outstanding.
One of the most Iconic songs of all time!

Cass was also at Woodstock 69 to support Janis, Two of the most incredible voices ever sadly gone too soon.
Yes Emma, you are right, this is music for enjoyment.
Wonderful to see you so happy today. Great reaction Emma! Folk rock. Had quite a bunch of hits 'Monday,Monday' 'Go where you wanna go' 'I saw her again' ' Dream a little dream of me' ' Dedicated to the one I love'

Great song by the mommas and the poppas! Luv your reaction Emma!❤
Mama's and Papas with Cass Elliott. Tragic death. Beautiful tone, amber. Just great vibes. MONDAY, Monday you have to listen to and that flute, oh my.
They were so, so good.
Another performance to the studio track. Love this song!
Oh you will absolutely LOVE Cass Elliiot's rendition of Dream a Little Dream! 😍

This remains today one of my all time favourite songs! (Even though I was only 8 months old when it was released as a single)
Born in cali.Stationed in Alabama in military. Always proud when this song played on the radio!
I never thought of it before but I was listening and The Bangles, Hazy Shade of Winter came into my mind.
This is such a great tune. Very uplifting! Love your wavy hair too!
Thank you so much!!
Absolutely KRASIVAYA, just sheer magic listening to four great Singers, Singing
along in Harmony; A song that helped define an era, and is still beautiful Today;
And Emma is 100% correct it is uplifting Music, enriches the soul and after Hearts finally

So much fun 😂 Keeps on proving I lived in the golden age of music. You gotta be in your 80s
This song seemed so fresh and new when it came out. The hippie movement and vibes were just getting known in the country. Very positive and uplifting.
It still feels fresh and new today.
yes mama cass had a very strong voice
This is my favorite folk rock band, they are so awesome 👍😎
Love the song and the harmonies of it are so well done! Loved your reaction, definitely music for enjoyment!
The agonizing thing about this song it that we didn't get at least one more solo vocal verse by Denny Doherty. His voice is just amazing and it's a crime the song was so short and didn't give us more by him.
Once you come around again to this group. Have a listen to Monday Monday. Similar harmonies, great song. Great reaction.
Born in California
Still pull over to groove to this song
Thanks!
Glad you agree!

4 great voices!
Hi Emma. Yes, you made my day better. Enjoying some good music with. Gets me California Dreamin...
The one and only Bud Shank, on alto flute, improvised that middle riff in the studio.
thanks for that info, that explains why it feels so confidant as well as super relaxed note perfect.
Just great to relax by listening to the Mamas and the Papas! Thanks Emma!
You are right)))

This is the only song that has this "sound." Just incredible and that's why it is an eternal classic.
Great tune and nice denim Emma it suits the song!
I live close to Seatle and everytime I do a road trip south this is my go to song🙂
Thnx Emma ✌️😎
You're welcome 😊
Now you really need to check out Monday Monday, from the Mamas and the Papas
Your moves go so well with this.
I was in high school when this song came out. I lived in San Marino, California, which is in Los Angeles County. I listened to the song a lot in those days. Then I graduated from high school and moved to Arizona!

The verses end with, "And everybody's getting fat except Mama Cass."
Michelle Phillips, stunning!
Another great song of theirs: 12:30.
This song was released in December 1965 and it still sounds great. John Phillips (Playing the guitar) was a superb song writer and a masterful arranger.

Sadly they are all deceased except Michelle, she is the only one still living.
I grew up with this music, I loved it then and I STILL do.
The male singer is Denny Doherty
I like what you did with your hair :)
So refreshing you are. Yes, "Mama" Cass Elliott had a silky strong voice. in the '70s our family had a The Mamas Papas LP, and i want to get a copy ... if I can just locate which it was. There was a song called "Stringman" on it in which Cass really sang ...
And the other song I most recall had the line "Cass can't make it / she said we'd have to fake it / [...] and no one's getting fat 'cept Mama Cass."
Fun reaction to a great old song. Thanks!
Mama Cass did a beautiful hit song called DREAM A LITTLE DREAM. Mama was in the audience, mouth agape, at the 1967 Monterey Pop International Festival (The Who; Jimi Hendrix; Otis Redding... many more) when Janis Joplin sang BALL AND CHAIN... which was basically her introduction to the world. Do see that video!
Hi Emma,
I’ve always enjoyed this song. It reminds me of our Hippie movement in the USA with the “Peace” slogan. Definitely a big era.
You picked up on the magic, the "overtones". They used to joke about it in the studio, when they were cranking it was almost like a couple more members were joining in.
hi emma, loved your reaction i. love this song classic!!! 😍
If you like these harmonies then check out the Cowsills, "Hair" or "The Rain, the park, and other things"
The lead singer, Denny Doherty, is from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, very close to where I'm from. Unbelievable voice. Younger people in Canada may remember him later in his life as the Harbourmaster/narrator of the Canadian TV Show Thodore Tugboat from 1993 to 2001.

The harmonies were so precise, the collective voices created subharmonics that made it seem like more than four people! Truly astonishing, considering the era; no digital, no resonate overlays, no autotune. Just pure talent, plain and simple.
Denny McLain was from Canada, Nova Scotia I believe and he had the Voice for this Iconic Group
*Denny Doherty. Denny McLain was a pitcher for the Detroit Tigers. or maybe you were thinking of Denny Laine of the Moody Blues/Wings. All those talented Dennys!
Emma! You’re back!
My first LP.!
For every guy I knew 'back in the day', Michelle was definitely #1 in their fantasy files. I mean, c'mon, how could she possibly not be ( unless you were also considering Bardot, Tuesday Weld, Yvette Mimieux, Rachel Welch, Jayne Mansfield, Julie Christie, Claudia Cardinale, Jane Fonda, Agnetha Faltskog, etc.)
Awesome list.
Wrecking Crew studio musicians! Tight!
Great reaction!
Thank you!! 😁
Temp dropped 50°f to the 60's with a few drops of rain in NorCal this week. Winter is definitely closing in (hit 80°F today)
I think it's going to be mid-80s here in the northern part of the Central Valley this week. I really miss Autumn....
Emma, just seeing your beautiful face makes my day everytime.
I have to second that!
How did you make it this far in life and never hear this song, you would have had to try to miss it .
Acting like she had never heard this song before was unbelievable. She had to have listened at least once (or a dozen times) before making this reaction video.
Wow…. I ❤️ your new hair style !
you should checkout "White Rabbit " by Jefferson Airplane, as Grace Slick has an amazing voice.
Greetings from Modesto! Now I need a nap, California Dreamin'

🎊 If you need a little boost and want to hear something uplifting…the 1960’s is your generation‼️ That uplifting sound is EVERYWHERE!!!
"Dream a Little Dream of Me: by Mama Cass Elliott -- beautiful song!! you will love it.
This genre is called "Sunshine Pop "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you imagine them just sitting around figuring out the harmonies? Cass was known as an outstanding hostess in the Laurel Canyon days. Hosting a who's who of talent. No doubt some of the greatest compositions of the generation came from The Canyon
I remember when i was a little kid , my mom would be singing this song while making dinner
Great song ❤
On Vocal Harmonies Know Who 2 Band Members Are ! Last Name Wilson Cousins To Beach Boys !! 😂😂
Cass Eliot had the best voice that I have ever heard. She is the heavy girl. Don't judge by looks, listen to her solo, "Dream a Little Dream of Me." All of this group's songs are hits.
Her daughter’s book is sweet and a little sad, kind of like Cass. Bless her.
Check out the Seekers…from Australia..a couple of years before The Mamas and the Papas…1964..The Seekers knocked The Rolling Stones and The Beatles off the top of the charts with their own number one…I’ll Never Find Another You…the girl had a unique voice…Judith Durham..died a few years ago…
Your hair is very pretty ❤
Thank you so much 😀
The guy playing the guitar is John Phillips, who did the arrangements for their music. The girl on the end was his wife at the time, Michelle Phillips. The girl with the more powerful voice is Cass Elliot, who sang lead in a number of their songs. The guy singing the lead part in this is Denny Doherty. The members all had a folk music background, which is part of what led to this folk-rock group's sound.
Edit: It occurs to me that I could add that John and Michelle Phillips' daughter Chynna Phillips grew up to be a member of the pop trio, Wilson Phillips. The other two girls in the trio are daughters of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. Their names are Carnie and Wendy. Their mother is a less well-known singer from the 60s named Marilyn Wilson-Rutherford (formerly just Rutherford of course).
Since we're going back to the 1960's ...
