She has one of the best voices I've ever heard. LOVE her range. Love the guts it took for her to be as ballsy as she was back in the 60's. She was a true pioneer for women!
@LarryRickenbacker Wow! that is Mickey Dolenz from the Monkees! You can tell he was a big fan!!! What a great eye! He also has a distinctive rare voice! I Love Cass Elliot, she's an inspiration to me and the Sounds of the Mamas and the Papas and the Monkees!
I found the words 'If you love her, you must take her somewhere she's never been before' written on a scrap of paper in my backpack today. I googled it, and I've been listening to this since. Thanks, Past Me!
I just heard this song tonight while in a store i thought it was birds of love, soft and tender then i just typed soft and tender and i found the song! lol I love it Mama Cass has such a great voice
Janet Napolitano is the reincarnation of Mama Cass. That's why the rumor spread like wildfire that Mama Cass choked to death eating a ham sandwich. That's how the Homeland Security Chief, Nappy-head to her friends, is going to die. Crystal ball stuff.
@jamierourketen Yes, but not for the reasons you might think. Her father died very young of a heart attack and he was NOT heavy. There may have been a genetic problem. She TRIED to lose weight, to no permanet avail. She begged her doctors to have a new (at that time) surgery to tie her stomach off (a very common surgery today) - but they wouldn't do it. It was too experimental at the time. I have a CE tattoo that I am extremely proud to wear. :-)
THIS VERSION BLOWS MY MIND , THE CLIPS PUT TOGETHER SHOW WHAT THEY WERE ALL ABOUT.( I;LL NEVER WISH MORE THAN THAT I COULD OF SEEN THEM LIVE.SHAME MUSIC LOST ITS FUN )
@raintalonwindclan you are right to disagree. Cass's voice is the warmest and most feminine voice you can ever hope to hear. Youtube search " does anybody love you cass elliot " ..... a barely known but magnificent recording.
It is so great to have You Tube to take us down memory lane. It does my heart good to go back and remember there was a time when TALENT ruled. No added crap from equipment just bands and voices that had true TALENT. The 60's and 70's are still alive and well in North Carolina...................................
I READ YOUR MONO , BOY WHEN YOUR RIGHT , YOUR RIGHT. THEY ALWAYS STILL BLOW ME AWAY, NICE TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE HEAR WHAT I HEAR,( MAY-BE LOOK AND READ SOME OF MY MONOS ABOUT THE MAMAS AND PAPAS,ESPECIALLY ON MAMAS AND PAPAS. MRGARR64.
I love Mama Cass!!! She had such a beautiful voice and she was beautiful also!!! I do not care if she was overweight or not she is the best part of the Mamas and the Papas. They would never have been so popular without her great voice!!!
Yes, John's musical skills are underrated, now partly forgotten and "upstaged" by his serious character flaws. The group should have worked to stay together, but the tenor of the times led them and so many groups to break up. Cass passing on so early too reflects on the self indulgence common. We miss them more now than in those distant days. We wish them well.
@RoxxtheOldies2 what, she kinda deserved to die? really? the reality of it is, she was here on this earth for as long as she was supposed to be. no longer, no shorter. she brought us a tremendous gift and shared it. regardless of her personal life, which has not one thing to do with her talent. celebrities personal lives shouldn't be open for discussion.
It's a tragedy to this day she passed away at such a young age becoming the 1st member of the group to depart. A talent like that only comes around once in a lifetime. Real sad.
@714AD Yes, it is quite sad that she died so young and that asshole John Phillips lived on for many more years. I guess it's true what Lewis Black said: "The good die young, and pricks live forever."
@crescentfreshbret One has to remember drug abuse was running rampant at that time. John Phillips didn't get the notoriety he deserved for all the great songs he wrote that went on to be #1 hits for either his group or other performers. He was definitely a superb talent & when you're talking raw talent, personal lives do not come into play. It's the great music that does. Mama Cass was a great vocalist who had had a brief solo career b-4d. She'd have been great in oldie concerts circuit today!
NO WORDS OF LOVE SOFT AND TENDER WONT WIN HER HEART ANYMORE; send her where, to your bed? and being DISRESPECTED WILL.? sure seems like it TODAY--IT also seems like chicks love potty mouths; on guys too -that's where the romance went ladies--
Go to the casselliot (dot) com website, then click on the "Biography" link at the top of the page, then scroll down to the bottom of her biography and read the section entitled, "The Truth About Cass Elliot's Untimely Death". Her full itemized autopsy report is provided in that section. Regardless of what other "multiple sources" that you've ever read on this subject, I would believe her own daughter Owen Elliot before I would believe any of them.
Cass Elliot was a sex symbol at a time when people associated beauty with being thin. Thank you, Mama Cass, for showing that even us big girls can be sexy.
GOD I love this woman!! What an amazing soul with an amazing voice!! Cass, I hope to see you on the other side. Thank you Christopher60s for posting this!! This is why I appreciate youtube so much - How else would we get to enjoy this??! Have you also seen her duet with John Denver on "Leaving on a Jet Plane" on here??
what a great old song...no guys, this ain't a track... it's a songggg!! and one of the most fabulous voices ever! keep charming the angels in heaven with that sweet voice of yours Cass...
thanks for this post... old songs are such pleasure to listen to! xx
@Tarn1968 Tarn1968, STOP spreading this terrible urban legend!! Cass did NOT choke to death on a ham sandwich!! She died from myocardial degeneration due to her obesity. Her daughter Owen has tried to quell this urban legend for years on the casselliot com website. The full autopsy report is provided there.
towards the end of this video, with the film of an outside audience, Mickey Dolenz (of the Monkees) is sitting then jumps up to applause.... anyone else noticed this....
@Comdesron17 Yes, I caught that right away (that it was Mickey in the audience). Nice to see such a spontaneous and genuine reaction from someone who was a celebrity himself.
I love Cass Elliot. She had an phemonimal voice, and a powerful one that still blows me away. This is one of my favorite songs by her. Just amazing. So thankful for the musical gift she left us.
@crkpnc Don't know? in 1966 Michelle was replaced by Jill Gibson for two months. Michelle was fired out of the group for some problems between her and John..
@bluenail03 It's not new, it's realeased in "Jack Of Diamonds" CD of John Phillips, i think it was released in 2007. This song is recorded without Cass and Denny, only Michelle and John features on this track, and some John's friend... :)
Cass Elliot was a singing goddess. No one approaches her today. I would give anything to be able to sing half as well as she does. She made the group what it was.
@doorsgirl100 Too many "music" fans don't remember. I stumbled onto a vid by the 80s group Divinyls, and they have a small but rabid fan base which insists that no female vocalist compares to the female lead vocalist of that group. They came in with MTV, and were really just another MTV creation. I said to this one person, "What about Ann Wilson (of Heart)?" Oh, no, Chrissy is better. "What about Mama Cass?" Cass Elliott? Oh, that's hysterical.
@57highland You mean they actually used to play music on MTV instead of just crass reality shows. I often wonder how a Mama Cass or Janice Joplin would do today. Its only gotten worse with the emphasis on looks over talent and soul.
@doorsgirl100 Hey, doorsgirl, just an afterthought. There couldn't be a Mama Cass or a Janis Joplin today. This era couldn't produce them. You can't take those people out of the 60's, because they MADE the 60s! They were the essence. They were both the drink and the straw that stirs it.
@57highland The Divinyls weren't "just another MTV creation". They formed before MTV did and had already established much of their stage act by then. MTV didn't play them until they were already popular in Australia. Check yer facts.
P.S. One man's meat is another man's poison. I like Mama Cass's voice - nobody does a better 'Dream a Little Dream" than she does - but I prefer Chrissie Amphlett's voice and style. It's not about video or appearance, it's about individual taste.
@weirdunclebob Yes, yes, of course, but I question whether Divinyls would have broken in the States in a big way (if they did that) without MTV. I don't single them out, you understand. Madonna, great as she supposedly is, wouldn't have been known outside the NYC dance clubs if it hadn't been for MTV. (MTV was a real force; don't discount it.)
Man the best thing for me has always been Cass Elliot. Her voice here is just amazing, so many voices of that time had the ability to really mean the lyrics they sang. Something lost and missing nowadays with kids singing things they have not lived or felt or sadly have no meaning about love and longing or being alone. Miss Cass sure did, all she wanted was love, and went out and got her love, in the shape of a daughter.
Man! Cass was so good! I loved her voice and she seemed to be a sweet person. I always wanted to see her get a good man and be happy and go on to make much, much more music!! So sorry she's gone. I miss people like her!! Denise 9482
Hear songs like this on the station that gives you oldies 24/7. SOLID GOLD 14K DOT COWe keep the "oldies" era alive.. help you remember when, tap your toes and remember the good times... its the sound of Solid Gold 14k where we give you Good Times & GREAT Oldies... Go to SOLID GOLD 14K DOT COM. Not just a "juke" box but a full commercial radio station with over 57 minutes of pure oldies stop by . You will be glad you did and tell your friends as well oh and we don "originals" no remixes!!!
Amazing! Intellectual stimulating conversations. A 40 year old is better than two twenty year olds. Enlightened and liberated comes when facing and realizing the crimes against the Native Americans.
I remember how disappointed I was when I bought their second LP with this song on it. "Words of Love" was missing all the added vocals and brass on this mono 45 take. For years you had to find the original 45 to get this take. Great version and so clear and crisp. Many thanks!!!!
She's the best! Cass! Lives forever.

@doorsgirl100 Hey, doorsgirl, just an afterthought. There couldn't be a Mama Cass or a Janis Joplin today. This era couldn't produce them. You can't take those people out of the 60's, because they MADE the 60s! They were the essence. They were both the drink and the straw that stirs it.

@57highland On the other hand beauty and talent can go hand in hand Jim Morrison and David Gilmour. Yikes!!

@57highland The Divinyls weren't "just another MTV creation". They formed before MTV did and had already established much of their stage act by then. MTV didn't play them until they were already popular in Australia. Check yer facts.
P.S. One man's meat is another man's poison. I like Mama Cass's voice - nobody does a better 'Dream a Little Dream" than she does - but I prefer Chrissie Amphlett's voice and style. It's not about video or appearance, it's about individual taste.

@weirdunclebob Yes, yes, of course, but I question whether Divinyls would have broken in the States in a big way (if they did that) without MTV. I don't single them out, you understand. Madonna, great as she supposedly is, wouldn't have been known outside the NYC dance clubs if it hadn't been for MTV. (MTV was a real force; don't discount it.)

Yeah, that was Micky D. He and the rest of the crowd were actually cheering Ravi Shankar, but it sure looks nice ending this video with that footage.

Man the best thing for me has always been Cass Elliot. Her voice here is just amazing, so many voices of that time had the ability to really mean the lyrics they sang. Something lost and missing nowadays with kids singing things they have not lived or felt or sadly have no meaning about love and longing or being alone. Miss Cass sure did, all she wanted was love, and went out and got her love, in the shape of a daughter.

Great job, Cass. Most singers today couldn't carry a note with three hands.

Cass didn't want to sing this? For not wanting to sing it, she sang impressively. So sad she died at only 32 :(

This version has the trumpets in the background and it sounds so much better than the version released on their disc that I have.

Neko Case has an almost identical voice... you should listen to "This tornado loves you" if you love Cass you'll love Neko.

Amazing! Intellectual stimulating conversations. A 40 year old is better than two twenty year olds. Enlightened and liberated comes when facing and realizing the crimes against the Native Americans.

Cass was an incredible singer. Really brought this group to the four front. R.I.P Mama Cass.

I remember how disappointed I was when I bought their second LP with this song on it. "Words of Love" was missing all the added vocals and brass on this mono 45 take. For years you had to find the original 45 to get this take. Great version and so clear and crisp. Many thanks!!!!
