My fav MAP song EVER, by far! California Dreamin' and Creeque Alley are a distant second and third. I think they were the best folk rock group EVER, and especially from 1966-1970! John's lyrics, Denny's voice and playing, Cass's great voice, and Michelle's looks!
how come you are not sending this to you-tube in a higher quality mode? . You could send it 720 and the sound would be more dynamic. . Wait... I'll see if my headphones make a difference. . . Cheers from, del-boy.
I'm 60, so I must have been about 16, and a high school junior when this was released. I was deeply and hopelessly in love, but VERY monogamous! It was ALWAYS the same 16 girls! LOL!
Just...simply....... wwwoooowwww!!!!!! This is my favourite one from Mamas &Papas ; even than "California..."or "Monday..."; this is a kind of anthem, from lyrics, from melody...uuufff...!...the opposite side would be: "Glad to be unhappy"
Jim Morrison is viewed as the tortured poet of the 60's. Not true. Morrison was great but John Phillips, other than Dylan, was the true poet of this time.
Wowwwwww... young girls are coming to the canyonnnnn... and in the mornings I can see them walking.... beautiful... good times... one of the best hits of Mamas and Papas... thank you... it made me so very happy!!!
You are lucky to have such a nice stereo !
Thanks for posting.

Listen to those vocals. Cass and Michelle harmonize so well together, and the lyrics just bring it all together.
I STILL get goose bumps, just like I did back when they were recording.

@Bluebonnett52 Wow, this song has the same effect. I listen to it over and over and have to choke back tears for some reason.

You have a beautiful stereo. I'm jealous. Love the ritualistic placing of the record.
