[chuckbuckbobuck]

They mak'em good music!!!

[Watchmydust]

WISH THEY HAD THEIR SONG ON CD?

[futurethinker123]

This song rivals "California Dreaming " as my favourite Mamas And The Papas song .

Both inspired brilliant compositions from the halcyon 1960s !

[KafkaUniverse]

Brilliant. Tear-wrenching. One of the handful of best sixties songs easily.

[navigator502]

reminds me of the summer of '67 :(

[geebeeman1]

The best version of this song! Note: the Shirelles also did it earlier.

[lennylen]

They used this song in the 1986 movie House, and whenever I hear it, I still think of the movie.

[DaveWollenberg]

The Mamas and Papas hit #2 in Billboard, 3-25-67. Thanx, Otaku-san, for postin' it. Have a great week!

[60otaku3]

You're welcome, DaveWollenberg-san!!

May I recommend the book 'A Pop Revolution, the transatlantic music scene 1965 to 1969' by the invisible man. The author is a big fan of this track.

[lukeman62]

It's a fabulous arrangement. Like they said: They'd drop acid and sit around and play and make harmonies.

Not that they were not musically and vocally gifted.  A fabulous quartet in the age of fabulous quartets.

[rickdicl]

Mama was one of the greatest singers ever

[snodgers]

Heartbreaking... are you listening Joan John

[MrLions49]

another great hit by mamas and the papas thanks for the clip and song.

[60otaku3]

You're welcome, MrLions49-san!!

Mama Cass was her own personal floatation device.

[emilytripp]

@Supermassively You're a jerk, quite simply.

[Supermassively]

@emilytripp How do you figure?

[wunjo76]

Se la dedico a mi amor Sonia,que le gusta mucho esta canción.Te quiero

[popspoptunes]

No you were not born in the wrong era, you simply know good music when you hear it. This song came out by the M&P in 1966 I was at Ft Knox away from home, it always made home sick as hell.

[tuamigamoni]

My loved one is 10.000 miles away from me, right now. Feeling goosebumps all over my body. What a beautiful song!!!! I love it. Thank you for posting <3<3

[60otaku3]

You're welcome, tuamigamoni-san!!

[jakkaify]

@tuamigamoni memories memories .. goosebumps feelings:(

[alshouse]

After listening to this version, I can't listen to the Shirelles version.

[Mel389]

Classic song :) Brings back so many memories of my childhood !!!

[WasOneOnce]

I am only 29 and I always loved Cass and the Mama's and the Papa's, born in the wrong era I think. Amazing band!

[Londres35]

@WasOneOnce Music has no time,except how it is played.

[hookahclouds]

This song is a dream within a dream.

[TKTRV]

GOOGLE > I DEDICATE THIS SONG TO THE ANGEL SURETY ROSE O'BRIEN :-)

GOOGLE > GOOD NIGHT ANGEL ROSE says YOUR STRANGE FATHER JOHN :-)

GOOGLE > I'LL WATCH OVER YOU WHILE YOU SLEEP JOHN says THE ANGEL SURETY ROSE :-)

ANGELS NEVER SLEEP JOHNJOSEPH O'BRIEN my LOVE says THE ANGEL SURETY ROSE :-)

[OlderThanSand]

Cass was awesome! Few singers male or female have her vocal presence. The Mamas and Papas are definitely iconic 60s and I'm glad I grew up during that period. There has never been nor will there ever be another time like the 60s.

[yugoroth1]

I respect Mama cass. I still can't believe they said she choked on a ham sandwich...disgusting people...

[NoRosesForMe]

Cass means as much to me as Janis Joplin and Patti Smith. Some people can say what they want. But I loved singing along with these records as a little girl. I still do. They werent " hard-core" hippie but they were great. Lovely songs and When I was 8 this was nice and fun. Now that Im 30 this means much more. Especially after growing up and living an adult life and learning about real love & life. Thank you for posting and all the best to ya. ♥ Saved to faves. xx Cass LIVES!!!

[60otaku3]

You're welcome, NoRosesForMe-san!

And thank you for admitting this to your faves!!

Otaku3 d(^_^)b

[kimbote33]

@NoRosesForMe You know that it's Michelle Phillips singing lead on this song, not Cass, right? ........

[IamRedleaf]

Just got a vinyl from Goodwill of theirs.....And, it's pristine!!!

[NoRosesForMe]

@IamRedleaf Awwww ya cant go wrong with the real vinyl! I still love putting on those records. Sweet & memorable. .wow......

[maxbatch70]

nutella 1 ful - How sweet, the feeling is mutual...........

[italianprincessina]

impossible to get the same "feel good" feeling when listening to todays music as compared to this song

[Jameson10314]

We miss you Cass Elliot; very few singers rival your great tone.

[philliebird]

I think I might be addicted to this song.

[DutchKalhoun]

May John, Cass, & Denny rest peacefully.

[nutella1ful]

I forgot to mention my fantasy love affair with MIchelle Philips at the time..hey, c'mon I was only 15!

[nutella1ful]

Beautiful high school slow dance. After the dance a little Smirnoff and Reingold and you swear you're in love forever, then time goes by and..........new song, new girl; but I'll always remember her.

[edwardf49]

old school but still cool. can remember gramma sing this to me when i was little

[maxbatch70]

60otaku3 - this song is dedicated to you for posting such a classic tune of my generation

[60otaku3]

Thank you, maxbatch70-san!!

Otaku3 (*^_^)b 

[ScottMacFie]

This song has to be one of those that really captured that mid-to-late 60s feel.

[jaecht83]

first heard this song in the summer of 1988 when I was 4 or so. We still lived in Cleveland Heights and were going out to the country to Roaming Shores, a private lake community in Ashtabula County. Just brings back memories of sunny, warm days :)

[nauort23]

@jaecht83 Thanks for sharing...

[BritishGentlemen]

Thanks, Robyn!

[lazymadonna]

@BritishGentlemen very welcome :)

[sofroniaful]

beautiful harmonies...

[DutchKalhoun]

Rest peacefully, Cass, Denny, & John.

[L1S91]

Great sounds of Mama Cass and Michelle Phillips. Oh, I remember the weird dancing between Cass and Michelle on the Ed Sullivan Show! LOL

[1927gallagher]

Really, really lovely.

[335stella]

wish i was born in this era of music 60 and 70 rock

[XxDestineyMansonxX]

@335stella Me too :( 

[Beaver795]

Get shivers every time I hear this!

[MrDognapper]

They could harmonize. They could write and they could sing.

[worseto]

i want to be with my baby even though she has been gone a long time now . i still  whisper a prayer for her ocasionally.

[57highland]

John, Denny, Michelle, Cass ...... thank you, thank you .... a million times, thank you.

Amazing! I am in the wrong generation :(

[BunchofMovieVideos]

This must be one of the most beautiful pop songs ever made. I swear even Mozart would have liked it.

[57highland]

@BunchofMovieVideos Mozart would wish that he had written it !!!

[BunchofMovieVideos]

@57highland lol I agree. ;)

[vakantieland4]

Who are the Asshole Police, eliminating videos here on You Tube?

[60otaku3]

Do not you like this song or my video??

Please do not post the comment irrelevant to the song (or my video) if so.

...Otaku3

[MattWhatsGoinOn]

@60otaku3 I LOVE this song and video. It is/was in my favorites. but I got a notification that it was not/no longer available, which I assumed was due to copyright reasons. I clicked on it and it didn't work, making me think that that was indeed the case. I was then criticizing YouTube "officials" (certainly not you) for removing it. However, many apologies if I was incorrect. Anyway, SOMETHING happened, but I will re-add it to my favorites if I can. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[60otaku3]

MattWhatsGoinOn-san,

If you posted here the comment for such a reason, I admit your comment.

But it cannot be helped that many videos of the copyright violation are blocked by YouTube.

Otaku3 (^_^;)

[mojmog02]

great song... when I was 14 I played the 45 until the grooves were gone.

[ForeverYoung58]

Harmony 101...this is how it's done. I wish today's "artists" would learn from this great record.

[Badmalente72]

Just great, thanks a lot. I love it so much.
