California Dreamin' - The Songs Of The Mamas & The Papas: Extra Feature 1

[ol1veriscool]

Love the song I didnt know Adele was in mamas and papas

[mrspivvy]

Lip synched but that was down to the tv networks. She really could sing like this

[c1magr8]

DAMN!!!! That broad could siiiiing!!!!!!

[maryvee61]

LOVE Cass!!!! She was beautiful just as she was. REST IN PEACE dear sweet Cassxx

[KSBaneTek]

I'm only 32 but I love her. Her sheer talent, cute face more than makes up for size. I'm sure this vid was taken while she was at her biggest cause I've seen view of when she was much smaller. Oh she had cute feet I did see an album cover with her barefoot

[mrspivvy]

I like big girls. with the greatest respect to the memory of the amazing and supremely talented Cass, I'd have gone there like a rat up a drain pipe.

[AnimeGDAndres]

que le habrá dicho denny a mama cass?? xD tan lindaaa!!! ;) los amoo!

[mrspivvy]

yeah she was big but I reckon she was a very attractive lady. pretty and such a great personality

[xxcharmed1xx]

Cass' voice sends chills up my spine when she sings, so beautifully. Her life ended way too soon.

[ladykarmakiller]

@ChuckNorrisKratosLOL I'm really agree with you !!!!

[diximon1]

Love them! What telent!

[Funkdogg]

@ChuckNorrisKratosLOL i'm totally with you. sometimes i get the feeling that only hot women can sing nowadays

[harlequin75]

What a voice! Damn.

[JoelLinskTV]

she's not fat,she's just a power house of music

[larshammett]

God damn......Cass die for his supper....so sad

[malibu64]

This might be the last song I might want to hear ever, on my deathbed!

[tedmcgyver]

Does anyone else notice that she has some sweet assed foot work?

[mladpimp]

happy birthday cass elliot :)

[DaViLiVe1]

happy birthday Cass Elliot.

[szqsk8]

Love Cass. That poncho Michelle is wearing is back in style! Everything old is new again.

[SuzSeptember]

Cass is classy

[RadFelines]

@ndmorhd ...no

[ndmorhd]

By today's standards cass would of have been anorexic compared to the big people

of today.

[hilmir]

ADELE!



[purselady2]

YEP;;;;:::she said ;;;GIVE me a KISS right here on my LIPS"""

[this1timeatbandcamp3]

look closey at 1:41 .. u can tell its being lip sinked..

[OOkarilizOO]

Tan linda Cass Elliot, pero miren esa parte del minuto 1:38 al 1:43 se les chispoteó

[gattosub]

Cass was a power to be reconned with. Given more time, she would have set a new standard. She was a songbird like the 747 is an airplane.  We so miss you Cass.

[lpbh25]

You can barely hear any of the other three singing. Cass's voice kicked ass.

RIP, Cass. I am just sorry that I wasn't born when you were rocking this world.

[juliian9]

For me ...she isnt fat..she is cute...

[lunasea71]

BBW are gorgeous and mama cass proves it, i love her music she was a great singer... real women dont diet!

[2431346]

fat. 

[MiinLondonBus]

R.I.P denny doherty

[QueenOfUnimatrixZero]

@txjignpig

...sometimes it would be better using ears AND eyes ;-) This is a truly pretty song but defintely not California Dreamin, isn´t it?

[twinstu50]

Mama Cass was the foundation.

I have no music training, no formal knowledge, not even experience, the best I could do would be to 'twang' a rubber band, and people would cringe and walk away from the 'noise' I would make.

Having said that, I know when I hear quality, what 'gets' me, makes me look up and listen.

Mama Cass.

[imhappywithmyself]

you know mama cass sister is a singer as well

[imhappywithmyself]

mama cass tore this up big time

[purselady2]

dont get ur point here

[purselady2]

MAMM CASS is just  MORE TO LOVE

[purselady2]

MAMMA CASS HAD GREAT clothes'''' she was always perfect in every way

[stumpdonut23]

i love wat shes wearing. its so cute

[K0k0kil]

É o Seu Madruga no violão?

[purselady2]

i think she died of a heart attack

[snaredrums123]

@purselady2

She did, after a straight 2 weeks of sold out concerts, as a solo artist. You can't say she didn't go out with a bang.

[gaurangamahalwar]

i wish she was alive! :(

[anothercrazyguru66]

if mamm cass where live, i married with her, i love the big girls, also... this chick got a beauti voice

[pauldve]

She was jolie laide.

[LJBCRT]

"Sing, and you'll be fed...!" I love the Mamas and The Papas, but, can't help chuckling over Mama Cass singing lead on this little dittie.



[mouse12345ify]

WOULDN'T CASS BE PROUD TO KNOW OF HER FANS EVEN IN 2011::)))

[budmangt2]

she wouldn't be big mama Cass, if she was skinny..loved her just the way she was..she was beautiful..more to love...RIP mama

[TheInvestigeter]

@budmangt2 

[vegas787]

RIP Cass, Denny and John!! you guys were amazing and still so missed!

[acvbbb]

CLASS....overwrites anything, indeed!!!!

[sr71ablackbird]

@FrostXByte Frost, about the only way I can think of, is not to hardly pay any attention to those who say things like that. It would not suprise me any if they were one of those twig-stick people saying that. But even though she may have been a bit overweight, she would definetly have one advantage that the john wouldn't. See how good he would survive in the north, especially during winter. She would have a better chance, because some of the weight that she has could reserve energy.

[purselady2]

NOBODY COMPARES

[giggleyalipali]

why they NEVER LYP SYNCED it looks this way because it is a very old recording and why the fuck are you even mentioning Mama Cass's weight when he r voice is huge thats the only thing I notice when listening to her....

[LittleRaggie]

They lip sync (mimed) because the networks were to cheap to let them do their songs live. You just had to be in the 60's to appreciate their music, a time when no-one gave a "F" about what anyone looked like. We were different then, not like todays Botox Bunch!

[akonsmakthat]

This is for yogsagot

You'r just a huge faggot .|.

Being fat doesn't mean being diferent... 

[yogsagot]

@akonsmakthat Did you just get what i'm saying, you moron? I was saying exactly what you just said - it's sad that nowdays overweight people are treated different in pop-culture and it's nice it used to be right way that days.

[purselady2]

ur not very nice) i said ''''''she WAS FULL of LIFE

U HAVE NO RESPECT

[purselady2]

@Slidapenguin

DONT make nasty comments about Mamma CASS;;; SHES a GREAT singer'' best dresser;;; AND most of all  SHE WAS FULL OF LIFE

[highstakesdonk]

@purselady2 she wasnt full of life after that cheese sandwich

[Slidapenguin]

whats with at minute 1:48 shes lip synching hardcore. was that popular back then?

[Junije1]

I'd do her...

[purselady2]

what i mean is) if people close thier eyes;;;; they wouldnt make insults how she looks) if they never saw her)

what a beautifull singer) in every way

[wieselboy]

no, i dont close my eyes, she looks beaturiful and sexy

[purselady2]

I agree) too many people look at her for her looks) CLOSE ur eyes and listen)

bet u will think she sounds its a thin women) it makes no diff) her personallty; singing) is what counts

[emelinepg]

Seu Madruga tocando violão?!

[cmpriola]

@ABBA11STAR-totally agree with you Mama Cass was a phenomenal woman!

[miragef1tube]

1:38 fabulous lip sync ! Great vid

[purselady2]

looks like he blew at her or wanted to give her a kiss

[purselady2]

I think shes saying watch ur mouth?

[morta93]

She's lip syncing!

Just check 1:40!

[RiekeDobo]

@morta93

and 2:39

[ploehr]

What's going on at 1:40? :D

[johnathanjericho]

@FrostXByte Your just ignorant to the situation, obesity is a HUGE problem within the united states and it is very possible to think that cass's image showed the normal people the fatness is good when in reality, a reality that you oblivious of, fat is a treible thing that must be removed the american health system.

But i do agree that she was a top class mama for the 32 years she was with us.

[wallpaperkilla]

@johnathanjericho You are right.....so, so, right.

[MrThomasLaw]

@johnathanjericho you are right :) but i reckon she did try and lose weight.

[purselady2]

Obese or NOT didnt stop her fro being a wonderfull person and singer

[johnathanjericho]

If only She wasnt so obese.

[TheSammyKaye]

Go Mama Cass!!!!

[purselady2]

you GO GIRL

[ABBA11STAR]

I LOVE HER! Her voice and even dancing yo! Dayum! And personally I think she was really pretty! She had a very beautiful face! And who ever thinks the opposite, is clearly BLIND and a fucking MORON! They arent the ones who is in music history and had the voice of an angel, and who clearly was famous just for being HERSELF! Not like all those other typical, hollywood women...and because she wasn't, she was a huge hit! R.I.P Cass Elliott. We all miss u! ^.^

[moonpie99]

@ABBA11STAR The one and only Cass! Hell yea, she was beautiful!!!!

[graciegardener]

@ABBA11STAR you got it, she was beautiful

[sladkopoina]

@ABBA11STAR Da taka e priqtel,mama Kas lipsva na vsichki ni!Radvam se che i ti mislish kato men!

[cbazorn]

Cass Elliott carried that group. The rest of them should be grateful for every penny in their pocket, because Cass put it there.

[892lgy7382]

Cass is so huggable. I just love her. ♥

[sysyJanis26]

Good

But is a scandal group

[ayla8251]

I love those white boots. wish i could have them..Cass has some vocals.

[yogsagot]

I just love the fact that some time ago an overweight girl could become a famous pop singer and nobody did give a fuck because she's just so talanted!

[sixtiesforever1966]

@yogsagot Same thing with Heart's Singing Sister Ann Wilson, and nothing has stopped her for making great music. We love Cass Eliott, and Ann Wilson because of their great singing, and Music.

Thank You Sir David

[XxDestineyMansonxX]

@yogsagot I could not agree more. Know it's all about image not really talent.

[Allante715]

@yogsagot

Well back in the good ol` days you actually had to sing good. Nowadays "Aritists" just have to look good. Their "singing" is run through autotune software to make it sound perfect. Kesha would NEVER EVER sung one song in the 60`s, 70`s and 80`s.

[fashiz09]

@Allante715 That is sooo true! That's what i always think!

[AbbeyNO]

@Allante715 Well. I don't think Bob Dylan hade the best voice, but he certainly wrote some great classic songs. But i still agree with you.

[capie44]

@yogsagot You have touched on the philosophy of life. Your statement applies to all people in life. No one gives a fuck that Stephen Hawking is in a wheel-chair and is mute...he produces more than the average. When a person produces more than the average, then their faults and disabilities are easily ignored. Be an expert/genius in a field, and the Hearts and Minds of people are yours. R.I.P. Mama Cass, we surely will eagerly await hearing your performances in the afterlife!

[aquaskisiac]

@yogsagot Check out Adele, raw talent, just like Cass. Her live performances are unbelievable, look for Adele at the Britt Awards performance or her rolling in the deep videos. A breathe of fresh air in the Pyrotechnic, look like a street walker indsutry of today.:)

[ridgebackdk]

@yogsagot your sort of right...nobody wanted her because she was big...but her gift won everybody over.not just her voice(in my view one of the best voices of all time) but also her joy for life,her personal touch had a very very real world charm,she was a real person and people could connect with her.,the world is a worse off place without her, big small black white and whoever you call god she was a gift to us all ..R.I.P .CASS your voice will live forever..

[ORUPRANKSTAZ]

@yogsagot

Sadly, it was her weight that ultimately took her from us.

Her official cause of death was: "Fatty Myocardial Degeneration due to Obesity."

But I don't care if she was overweight! That girl could belt it out! When I see her photos, I don't think "Oh, what a fat bird." I think "Wow! What a talent." And you know what? Thankfully, Cass lived in an era in which recording technology was experiencing radical improvements; we have enjoyed her for decades since, and can for decades more.

[boogiefever1985]

@yogsagot Search for ADELE

[ArM4ND01]

Mama Cass and Janice Joplin could teach a lot of todays female pop singers a thing or two.....or TEN

[Weaponseeker]

1:17 xDDD

[KitSnicket892]

the greatest female musician in the 60s :)

[ooo01000]

rip i love mama cass

[892lgy7382]

Mama Cass's voice is heaven...

[alexvegas]

Cass' footwork during the breakdown is on a par with Janelle Monae's!

[Jiffybob47]

this has got to be one of my new favorite songs. i can't get online without listening to it at least once...which usually ends up being like, 10 times. awesome

[phetheri]

Everybody type in "gift" before youtube then press enter

[joshdekay]

look at 1:39.. cass is mouthing something else.. yet still singing.. perhaps some lip syncing?

[donkeydolli]

@joshdekay you're right!

[Ebbers9]

fat

[fellbell1]

@agrain413

I'm 17 and I'm also from Sweden. I love music from the 60's and all my people and friends know that. Mainstream music is crap and sucks almost all the time. I love to show my friends my music, and I love it when they like it too:D.

[Jiffybob47]

wow...she has some powerful pipes. *had....may she rest in peace.

[RomaniaGangzta]

sounds like playback

[AdamR702]

@RomaniaGangzta it is they didnt mic up live shows back then(ones for tv broadcast) so they lip synced to the master track, usually with some reverb slapped on it

[smokelean]

this was from a prime time tv special circa 1967 wow cass makes it look easy

[soyruskie]

@agrain413 keep listening. This is talent not like those pieces of shits hood rat rapper which they think they have talent. This is not voice mixxing or JZ crap.

[agrain413]

I'm 17 and I live in Sweden, If I would tell anyone at my school that I listen to this the would be like what the fuck. They listen rap and hip hop and shit but I love music from the 60's 70's and early 80's

[iheartrumsey]

She proves that beauty is beyond looks, and you hear it in her voice.

[ncaffrey001]

I can't believe I never heard this great song of theirs before. Absolutely wondefull! ... This group had some of the finest harmonies of any group in history and they could not have done it without Mama Cass. You could tell she was full of love by the way she sang....She is sorely missed and we are very fortunate to still be able to hear her thru her records....Thanks much for posting this......Norm

[reesee02]

That was amazing. I wish I could sing like that.

[SUCKMEISTER005]

There's just something joyful and special about Cass Elliot's voice.

[purselady2]

NO BODY can sing like MAMMA CASS

and no one was so beautifull;;;Down to earth  ; and no one will ever have her Dance MOVES

[rainbowmuppet]

Michelle could sing, but she couldn't sing like Mama Cass.

[purselady2]

MAMMA CASS is JUST MORE to LOVE

[MrJeffw223]

Moma Cass was awesome !

[MultiMaitreya]

wow! Mama Cass is wonderful!!!

[whathoney73]

lol 1:42 ..I  love you Cass

[KillerDreck89]

I can't believe she died. If I had a wish, then it would be a marriage with mama cass.

[michellekwan483]

mamas and poppas are the best.

[KillerDreck89]

@michellekwan483, hey, it's papas, not poppas.

[michellekwan483]

@KillerDreck89 I know, when you do it so fast you don't realize it

[96Jazangel]

there can only be one Mama Cass and she's the BEST

[doigen]

My word what a voice!!!!!!

[itnow]

the Blonde might sing but big Mama will surely eat up her supper

[JEROME02100]

wish she still alive noadays

[motherthirteen]

nice lip syncing at 1:41! even though I still love mama cass

[kimberlyk0ch]

@motherthirteen HAHA LOL, Just like she never did that!:P

[motherthirteen]

@kimberlyk0ch lol maybe i was naive

[arseniovayadares]

mama cass had a beautiful voice

[alisonsdragonfly]

cool but the guy in the stripe pants has no trouser bulge was he gay or just shy?

[sturmgiest65]

all the fame,but never found true love!

so sad.

[coldcutuk]

I love Mama Cass

[checkfoldcallraise]

why aren't there any bands like this anymore? its so sad because this was so beautiful to listen to. todays music can be catchy and fun to listen to but too computerized, no real quality. maybe there are still some good bands out there but i never hear them on the radio. only the popular auto-tune stuff.

[siboobooboo]

I am reading Cass's biography now, up to where she met Tim Rose xx

[macp581]

maravilhosa!!!! Mama Cass inesquecivel!!!!

[francosidad]

playback... 1:40

[microeconomia]

Beautiful Voice! And to think that the first time I watched Cass Elliot on TV, back in the mid 1990s on the Cartoon Network, was as a cartoon character, receiving the help of Scooby Doo and the whole Mystery Machine gang against two "candy ghosts" that were haunting Cass´ candy factory, on the episode aptly titled "The Haunted Candy Factory" of The New Scooby Doo Movies!

[MrGeorge3000]

I love Cass. She is so cute when she sings "romance" and looks at Denny (who she was in love with). I love how they interact while lipsyncing away. She is so confident up there singing in her boots and tent dress, doing her signature mash potatoe moves. She has an amazing voice. Rock on Cass (whereever you are)!

[zcdarktide]

lip synching. still a great voice though

[jennamarisco]

omg she was lipsinking 1:40

[dutico]

@jennamarisco well she sings better live anyways honey, so don't get it twisted

[ELVISIA]

Mama, She sang just wonderful, one can only wonder if she had lived longer if only an stomic operation had been an option at her time........R.I.P.

[ELVISIA]

@ELVISIA , You know, Elvis Presley loved mama Cass and they actually sang together in private, beautiful pictures of them together singing in joy are to be found if you search on the net.

[purselady2]

CASS ' YOUR JUST MORE TO LOVE

[NigerianRocker]

Mama cass

should have gone solo

she clearly stands out from the group....CLEARLY

[333loveya777]

@NigerianRocker

She did go solo. Died not too long after going solo, but you can find her solo performances here.

[minidowns]

Keep up with the lead vocals and YOU will BE FEED. Great job MAMA Cass.

[beatlesfan07480]

i think mama cass has a prettier face then the thin woman in the group

[TheInvestigeter]

They are so special. From the early 60-ties, last century..clothes, hair, moves AND clear honest woices, with great vibrators!! I lost the only cd I had, several years ago. And here they are!!!

[kaluski]

@TheInvestigeter HAD NO IDEA THEY USED VIBRATORS BACK THEN! WOW...THEY WERE DEFINITELY FREAKY.

[adwer77]

1:40 - 1:42 wtf?

[SapersteinSaperstein]

@adwer77 In those days I think they often lip synced rather than sang live

[gabito777]

suprimi los postres gorda !!! beautiful voice ...complimenti

[bojanks15]

fat chicks....

[nicenfoxy1972]

'She's got some chops', lol, ah bless you Denny, RIP lovely man. x

[hilmir]

there is a little sadness in this song, its disguised as a colorful anecdote, but it is a very sad predicament she's singing about.
