The Mamas And The Papas - Somebody Groovy [1965 Version]

[FJTiernan]

the 'B' side of 'California Dreamin' and a great track in it's own right.

[zukelad]

One of their most known songs? Are you sure? I've been around a heck of a long time and this is the very first time I've heard it!

[LaurenBoxhall]

@zukelad Funny as it's the B-side to 'California Dreamin', their most well known song??

[flakbac]

would have loved bein on the strip 64-66

[chopinrachliszt]

@HPfan75 - I love the fact that you listen to this song every morning before school - that's soooooo cool. I can imagine it being locked in your mind all day in class. Those harmonies would keep you inspired all day! Keep diggin great music!!!!

[pontello3]

[diktatorship]

For years I thought this was by the aprtridge family... Not sure why! Anyway, great tune whoever did it.

My mother owns the first M&P's album, "If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears". I listened to it all the time growing up in the late 70's-early 80's. As an adult, I have their boxset, DVDs about their career, and books about them. No other band, in my opinion, has ever had the sound they had. Harmonies are phenomenal!

[landrykkb]

@ther6925 The Beatles didn't even compare to the Mamas & Papas,harmony-wise!Cass Elliot even said so herself.

[ultrazx]

I have this single.....wonderful funky groovy song...thanks for putting this up!!!

[swampzoid]

wonderful presentation of an awesome performance.

[genatzvalee]

Mama Cass was hot!

[zozoann]

I'm gonna treat you good baby...wait & see =)

[OSCARDERAMASSAGE]

merci d'avoir mis en ligne ce merveilleux morceau qui avait échappé malgré trente cinq années et plus d'écoute attentive à mon attention jusqu'à lors

[OmHaver]

They took the Beatles spirit and -in some aspects- went beyond them.

The music of M&P is really great, in the highest level in popular music.

[taddyd1]

tuff mamas on this.

I played this side of the 45 as much as California Dreamin.

Don't play with these women!

[christopher60s]

Haha, thanks :)

[yak6ex]

@christopher60s

God thank you.

Such pretty melody and harmony.

[bloodywomble]

The Mamas And The Papas were like a musically enhanced version of the beatles in this one !

[captainsoul1953]

That first album was packed full of great songs...the only let down for me was the rather dull In Crowd

Jim

[memphisjay1]

[marksmail2]
