Yes, a great version. Jackie De Shannon does a gorgeous version of this as do the group Roger Nichols & the Small circle Of Friends (yeah, that's the group's name!). A classic, one of many written by John Sebastian. Thank you for this.
Man, that song is awesome! Never heard it before and I thought I knew all her songs? This was written by John Sebastian and his group is playing the music behind her vocal? This was 1965? Which group pot this on their album? This is a forgotten treasure. Very deep.
@internationalgiant1 Hi, these recordings were done in 1965, but never released on an album. I know that John Sebastian and Zal Yanowisky played here with Cass..
I like her version of this John Sebastian song better than his, but she adds notes "again" and makes it more pop/jazz somehow. I also like his song "Face of Appalachia" which he wrote with Lowell George of Little Feat. John is such an amazing talent.
this may be the most beautiful song I've ever heard. To think this beauty got cut short is such a tragedy. If only she could have graced this earth longer. Every note she selects has such nuance and strength. Also, I think Morrissey built an entire career on this song! haha!
This is my all-time favorite Spoonful song. I didn't even know this version existed. Thank you! Thank you Thank you! for posting this version. It's great.
What a beautiful song and what a beautiful person Cass Eliot was, she was one of rock n, roll's greats! So sad we lost her at such a young age, she was a wonderful lady! Thank you very much for posting this. and God Bless you Cassy!
Ah, the incomparable Cass Elliot! I lost track of your site until I found it again while browsing Cass Elliot.com. The way that she could project the meaning of any song and make it hit home is why she still garners new fans, even today! Love this site. Keep up this good work! Getting any more?
@MsJune54 You can find it in amazon.com .That's where I first knew about these versions. The album is Here's a song(you might have missed) and you can also download it from amazon.com .
Her voice was SO amazing- one of the best singers ever! Such a clear, pure voice, but with so much maturity... nobody like her before or since. What a tragic loss!
Her voice was SO amazing- one of the best singers ever! Such a clear, pure voice, but with so much maturity... nobody like her before or since. What a tragic loss!
This song reminds me of the 1960's when I was a kid and everything seemed okay, inspite of the Viet Nam War and all.People just seemed more free and happy back then, and I miss those days terribly!
Was this on an actual album? I would like to know so I could obtain a recording of it.
In the past several days I must have listened to this song fifteen times. Cass's alto is so clear, with just the right mix of force and restraint. And the arrangement is superb. Really, this is the definitive version. Thank you SO much for posting it. I would never have known it existed otherwise. So sad and so very very beautiful. "The end, the end, the end...." When were those words ever more hauntingly and truthfully said or sung?
Thank you very much for your awesome comments about this song. It was always my favorite Spoonfull's song..have you heard the other version with backing vocals ? It's really great also, I posted it about a few months ago..check it out.. think you will enjoy it Thanks again!
Wow, never knew this version existed...I thought the Spoonful's version was one of their best songs, but this is just gorgeous...she chose just the right song of theirs to do.
So beautiful! Cass is the best singer of all time, followed closely by Gladys Knight, Sissel Kyrkjebo, Karen Carpenter, Susan Boyle, Ella Fitzgerald, and Annie Lennox.
I absolutely love this..do you know where I can download it?Cass's version though!Thanks for posting it up...her voice has a personal touch to this song that makes it sound hauntingly and heartbreakingly beautiful :)
That was so amazing, I want to hear more like that, I gave this 5 stars, and added to my favorites, I am so in shock right now. Thank you for placing this national treasure for all eyes and ears to see and hear.
Now that's a strange thought after seeing the picture of Jimi Hendrix with Mama Cass. His guitar with her on vocals. But then Carol King sang with Slash on guitar.
The best time in music.The world was such a nice place to live in.Thnx to our useless government and the Rockerfellers etc,this world SUX.Beam me up aliens,I'm going home with you guys.
Best time in music yes but the world sucked then too ya know. Vietnam, JFK shot, Dr. King and Bobby too, having to fight for civil rights, '68 riots, etc.
I'll admit with the others here that I've never heard this version before either, but am glad I did!! Her and her beautiful voice are missed so much, rest her soul. Beautiful montage of pics too. Nice job and thanks for posting!
In so short a time, Cass proved she could do ANYTHING musically. I hear jazz in this song. What maturity for such a young woman. Thank the universe we have these recordings. Can you imagine your music world without Cass?
Cass is one of the most under appreciated artists of my lifetime. This is a fantastic cut and I thank you for sharing it. Regarding the comment left by imposy2 I have a message "Get over your anger as you are only hurting yourself, and Cass will be remembered by people (like me) long after you are gone and forgotten" Once again ocnarfeara I thank you for this rare treat.

this is a gem! can't understand how I hadn't heard it before
