      This is a singer whose voice and talent I am rediscovering through these reaction channels. She has a stunning set of pipes, strong, pure and crystal clear. Make Your Own Kind of Music has once again become one of my personal anthems. This period is loaded with great artists gone way to soon. For me, the ultimate kick in the heart was Karen Carpenter's death because her music meant so so much to me. But the loss of a talent like Cass Elliot (she will always be Mama Cass to me) is no less sad. But thank God a hundred times over we grew up with these artists in the time we did. How lucky are we???? Mega hugs from Durham, NC. Remember, nobody can tell 'ya, there's only one song worth singin'!

    Cass was in love with Denny - the lead singer on California Dreaming. The other two members were John and Michelle Phillips, who were married. Michelle (who Cass considered her best friend) began an affair with Denny and Cass felt super betrayed by two people in her life. John was the leader of the band and made the decisions regarding who sang what. He didn’t think audiences would want a fat chick singing, truth is he was too insecure to let Cass shine.

    Thing about Cass Elliot is that she was part of a four part harmony group. Had the odd lead role but was a part of a team. She didn't have a stellar solo career and died in London in 1974 so never had a chance really. But somehow she is loved and so highly rated and the reason is her warmth, humour and above all everyone knows she has the voice to match anyone. People recognise pure talent when they hear it, Cass Elliot was such a talent. Rare talent and underused and sadly died far too young

    Cass was the first person I remember being exposed to that made me feel like I could still follow my dreams and do whatever I wanted to do, while being fat. I was a fat kid and I'm a fat adult... and when I was being picked on in school I remember seeing her perform on some old show my parents were watching. I asked who she was and my mom said "That's Mama Cass! She was amazing!" and I felt so much better being me.

  • @ManicSalamander

    She has a magical voice. Soft, clean, complex and deceptively powerful. Best harmony singer EVER! No matter how loud she sings, she makes the lead sound better. She sang a couple solo albums, always other people's songs. She shone, but the Mamas and Papas were magic together. Cass wanted Denny, but he didn't want her back. Denny and Michelle got together, though she was married to John. Cass basically got the group together by introducing contacts to one another. Cass wasn't skinny or meek enough for John, but she was too good to pass up as a singer.
    Cass had legions of adoring fans- she was like the godmother of all the Hippies. Sweet, funny, smart, welcoming, and a voice bigger than anyone's. If Ann Wilson's voice is like a sword, Mama Cass' is like a heated pool. Died of a heart attack, about 31 years old.

      Have you seen the documentary, it tells this story. Also how Denny had to persuade her to actually sing in the band as she was initially too insecure. Another thing I love about her is her dancing, she had a groove and was light on her feet for a big gal. I love her, and she's one person I cry for because of their passing.

    Carole King .. Tapestry Album. just about any cut from that for Female Friday. In 1972 Tapestry was the #1 Album, it was Album of the year, The track "It's Too Late" was Record of the year and You've got a Friend was Song of the Year and Carole was best performance by a female artist. Tapestry went 13 times Platinum and sold more that 25 million copies world wide. Doesn't that qualify? She plays the piano and sings. Shouldn't that Qualify?

She has such a perfect voice, think Karen Carpenter, Cass was close in perfection, power and perfect pitch.She wasn't involved with any band members. A sweet lovely funny person. You can hear her clearly in most Mamas and Papas songs providing the power in the song of what were a superb close harmony group.
    Looking back the reports I've read suggest she didn't fit the "image" of a svelte pop singer for the record companies. Absolute disgrace of course but typical

    The song was written by Gus Kahn in the 30's (a songwriter with an enormous output who contributed many classics to the great American songbook). There was a biography made of his life in the 50's called "I'll See You in My Dreams" (another song he wrote) starring Danny Thomas and Doris Day. Doris is definitely someone worthy of being featured on Female Friday-she had perfect pitch and a huge catalog to choose from, her signature song was Que Sera Sera but dozens if not hundreds of other recordings. I'd suggest "Secret Love", "It's Magic" or Sentimental Journey.
    The Mamas & the Papas were only together for about three years after which Cass went out on her own very successfully until her sudden death. Check out "Make Your Own Kind of Music" it really captures her essence.

    For some more good solo Cass Elliot, try "Words of Love" (with The Mamas And The Papas) and "The Good Times Are Coming" (you'll know you're hearing the right version of the song if it starts with a harmonica) --the latter was the theme song for an excellent movie Western, MONTE WALSH (1970), and her singing is backed instrumentally by composer/conductor John Barry, famous for the classic James Bond movie scores (such as GOLDFINGER).

    The song was written by Gus Kahn and originally sung/recorded by Ozzie Nelson in 1931, but I would argue the best version was sung by Ella Fitzgerald featuring Louis Armstrong in 1950. Those two + that song = perfection + the band = immaculate. It's like velvet and chocolate that your ears can enjoy, if you understand what I mean.

    Her voice was always the most prominent one in the group. She was so great. The Mamas & Papas did do this song and it featured Cass with the others harmonizing. Many of their songs featured her because of her beautiful, powerful voice. 🌺✌️

    Miss Cass Elliott (she hated bring called Mama Cass) was a jewel in the crown of music. The Mamas and Papas were a quartet. She tried to blend in, but her voice always made her stand out (listen to their albums). She and Denny were a cut above.

    When you listen to the Mamas and the Papas it's Cass Elliot's voice that pulls tell group together. She is not a backup singer; the members were all equals, like Abba. Listen to Creque Alley. This song tells the story of how the M and P group was formed. Like a lot of groups in the 60s/70s timeframe, drugs played a heavy role in breaking up groups. The song Monday, Monday highlights the group's great harmonizing style. Again, Cass was a very talented lady who died way too soon.

      They weren’t equals tho; they made Cass just “hang around” with them for a long time before they made her an official part of the band. And she was singled out for not fitting the image they wanted (ie thin and pretty). John was especially cruel and Michelle betrayed her by having an affair with the person Cass loved most, Denny. And yet she was the best vocalist and was probably the most beloved person in Laurel Canyon. She was a big support to the other women there, fighting to get attention from the record companies, her house was the hangout and everyone was welcomed.

    I so highly recommend for a "Female Friday" that you listen to/watch Judy Garland sing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." She sang it live on her television program back in the 1960's and there's some clips of it here on RUclips. For such a small lady she had such a booming voice and her version of that song is powerful enough to give even the most anti-American person a profound sense of national pride.

    Cass singing 'Words of Love' is a MUST! You'll love it, I promise.
    Cass reacting- lol- to Janis singing 'Ball and Chain' was not at Woodstock, but at Monterey Pop across the country, two years earlier, in '67, a big breakout for several artists: Janis, Jimi Hendrix's stunning, triumphant return to the U.S., and Otis Redding, whose breakthrough didn't last as he died tragically shortly afterward. Ravi Shankar too mesmerized the crowd with his complex, rhythmically sophisticated and shifting music, rooted in Indian classical. The Who too delivered an explosive set, and backstage Jimi told them, "If I gotta follow you, I'm pulling out all the stops.."..he did, and both performances are legendary, but Hendrix was a game-changer. That story is cool to hear from Pete Townshend(the Who's guitarist/songwriter) or someone who was there.

    My recommendation this time is going in a different direction. You two really liked Frank Sinatra, so I think you should check out his daughter for a Female Friday. Therefore, my recommendation is "These Boots Are Made For Walking" by Nancy Sinatra. I think you'll like it!
