@HelishSushik so many people say that about 250 plus songs by the beatles. for a while it may sound like it's better, but as time passes, the original by the beatles is ALWAYS better.
I have 25, and I fell in love of Cass Eliot!! wow she was a complete women. The mamas and the papas were a great group!! :D the ones that born in the sixties are lucky, but hell, we born in this time, to make a great generetion too, not all is lost, Lets do a hell of generation, like they did with theirs. viva Cass elliot y las mamas y los papas, por siempre!!
Young people ... please force feed this kind of music to your children ... Justin Bieber and gaga have gotta go .... where they go I really don't care ... just go.
@50lancaster Young people... pleace force feed your young people the music of Lawrence Welk. The Beatles, The Stones, Jimi, Zep, Dylan have got to go...
Boy was she out of it lol! The life they led back then. But dang if she didn't sound pretty damned good ... despite dropping to the floor, swinging the mike and being doped up.
no disrespect to the mamas and papas but they`ve totally ruined a brilliant beatles song. Listening to this is depressing because thats how it sounds depressing at least when the beatles sung it it was a foot tapping beat this version is awful you would have to be smoking weed to enjoy it and by looking at the mamas and papas in this video theyt look like they`ve been smoking weed too
Hey dipshit or whatever, you're just an untalented idiot! Ham sandwich is the fallacy and you swallowed it wholeheartily. What else do you swallow Bottom?
Yeah drug addicts are always tossing their mics around everytime I see your family in a crack house selling your sister.Get your mother off of the pipe - from both kinds, cause she sure screwed up with you. somebody should have gotten that woman a hanger before she got over her hangover. Now we all suffer because of your dad's little squirt
@curioushumangeorge Yes They could really harmonize, But Cass had the Pipes....Powerfull melodic voice....so unforgettable....Especially on "I gotta Feelin" Live at Monterey Pop, Check it out...... John Wrote it about His Relationship with Michelle...same with " I saw her agian last night" [IE Denny]
@MOSFET2288 you are joking aren`t you, it sounds awful you`d have to be high on cocaine or smoking weed to enjoy this the mamas and papas look like they`ve taken drugs or smoked loads of weed
@theuc You got that right!!! Nobody should ever do a cover of a Beatle song because no matter how hard they try, the Beatles version was always better. Then comes along the Mama's and Papa's and they do the impossible...they out do the Beatles themselves!!! I shutter to think what it would have sounded like if the M&Ps did a cover of "The Night Before" or "Baby's in Black" or "No Reply"..omg!!
@susp1 I don't know that it's better than the Beatles version, but it's certainly as good. The reason the Mamas and Papas recorded the song in the first place was because of Cass' huge crush on John Lennon. That helps with putting everything into it. Of course, Cass really didn't need too much reason to put her heart into it, she was a great vocalist. Too bad, she was gone at such an early age.
@1dublj Cass had a crush on Lennon? Didn't know that...cool. Do you know why the Beatles didn't put this song out for themselves? Did they write it for the Mama & Papas? Ok, Thanks.
MMMMM I absolutely treasure any footage of the M&P at Monterrey.. if you guys dont know Phillips produced it so they performances there had to be A Game!!
I was there that night. The M&P were great, especially considering having to sing cheerfully while enduring the rudeness of the many people who left as they took the stage and began. The M&P had the ill luck to go on with a folk-rock sound after the Hendrix and Who had raised the ante way past that.
Cass is stellar here. Can't help cringeing at the first verse, though---the bassist was way lost until the third line. After that brief clam, all was wonderful!
@dionisiogonzalesbuenas!! lo del pedoo esta bien la harina igual niebla bien,la combinacion de las tres es como un plato que te gusto pero que no sabes cuando vas a volverlo a comer!!!
Michelle's vocal presence on this is almost nil. Sometimes I wonder if she really sang that much harmony in the group. On the records (for the careful listeners), one can easily pick out the others vocal parts...but she looked good!
The Mamas and the Papas really sounded great when they sang live, making it even more frustrating that their television appearances were all lip-synched. I guess that was because the musical arrangements were too hard to reproduce.
This is one of my absolute favorite Beatle songs, but I always thought the Mamas and the Paps version was a perfect compliment to it Perfect. Somehow similar to Terminator I and Terminator II. I've listened to it twice now, and am going for a third. Thanks again for the posting!
@frankenstein909 Absolutely great version of the song. I understand that the Mamas and Papas did this song because of the huge crush Cass had on John Lennon, at the time.
I think the Ms & Ps would have been better if they had a baritone in the group. I suspect that John could sing a lot lower than he did but I think for some reason he didn't want to contrast that much with the others.
@JediSawyer Yeah... well The Beatles didn't made a rendition to this song. They just wrote it. I guess John and Paul never gave it too much importance, since they made songs anytime they wanted just like breathing. But Th Mammas... gave it the proper feeling and the emotion the song was capable to get.
I met a man last year in Vista, CA, and we talked for a few hours, who was the Mamas' drummer for their first tour, as well as in the studio. He worked with the Wrecking Crew, of course. I asked him a lot of questions, about Philips, Phil Spector, etc. Very educational for me.
Cass was one of the all time BESTS!! She had such a pure, beautiful voice!! Imagine what she could have accomplished if her life had not ended so soon!
John may have ordered Michelle's voice stricken from all perfomances but, being a life-long M & Ps fan, I can still here her voice in bits throughout the entire Monterey set. Michelle had the almost dead mic that The Who almost destroyed in their set. If you listen to the album of the M & Ps set you will here that Cass has that mic in the beginning, the difference being that Cass's voice is so much stronger you can still here her plainly, if a bit more faintly.
better than the Beatles... they probably didn't think of making a good version (apart from the "ska section"), as the song was meant for Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas
and so it's true . before john phillips died he admonished all his lawyers to strip the vocal of michele from all recordings and videos. actually he did this when he was alive.
Mama Cass Elliot se luce como siempre en todas sus interpretaciones!!!!!....linda gorditaaaaaa....con preciosa vozzzzz.....descanza en paz hermosa!!!!
Cass has one thing that American Idol doesn't even take into concern, it's called Talent! R.I.P. Cass,God bless you babe. "if there's a Rock n' Roll Heaven They've Got a Hell of a Band."
i remember seeing this, heard they were all fried on acid, so was their sound mixer that controld the volume deck. this is a great song but not one of their best performances. cass sure had a set of pipes. only other voice that i have heard come close to her is bette midler. i am not saying there arent any other greats i am just sayin those two together would have ruled the music world.
Michelle had a mediocre voice. She was just there to look pretty and because John liked her. So if you like her better, go watch a video with just her in it you ignorant child.
i couldn't agree more. Cass was/is and, always will be the MM&PP's. J.P. Wrote "I Saw Her Again Last night" just so Denny had to sing it everynight. after all,at that time John & Michelle were married.
@rocknrolldaddio -- If you idiots knew as much about the mama and papas than you thought you did .... you would be dangerous.....-- and to sheblinkstears ,,I have watched several videos here on you tube with JUST Michelle in it and they were outstanding.... like I said before,,,, alot of these comments ,I guess are somewhat entertaining but not much truth in them---the rumoreville continues about one of the greatest groups of out time-------
Hey nobody should compare nothing. Beatles gave their piece to music, and M&Ps gave their. Personally i listen more to Mamas and Papas, but Beatles are also an important group in music's history.
God damn! The last eight seconds of this song are what makes this songs for me. God bless you Cass Elliott and your voice that could move any heart, mountain, or planet !!!
The problems with the older groups were simple, they liked to party as much as they liked to sing. And also never to be married to fellow band members, look at ABBA. Married--great music, split up and then the group breaks up
It's ridiculous to claim that this wonderful group is the equal of the Beatles. Apples and oranges, just can't compare them! But certainly the Beatles wrote more songs and some better songs, although MP songs are great1!
Nah, John, cass and Denny were already performing in 1962 (remember "Please Please Me, The Beatles first single was released on December 1962) And anyway Psychedelic rock was created in San Francisco by the likes of Jefferson Airplane around 1965, (The beatles just recorded the Rubber Soul album) So The San Francisco bands would have existed without the beatles!
mamas and papas were heads and shoulders above the beatles-musically and vocally,also,they have done most of their music by themselves-without the help of million studio musicians like George Martin,who has arranged and produced
I prefer the Beatles version, but this is far more "sing-able". Cass Elliott had a great voice, just amazing. Another rock band that might have lived longer, but the sixties got in their way.
Always loved this group, they had a certain something about them.. Great stuff. If you have time, click on my name to check my channel and original songs, especially the songs called Soul of a Woman and In the Neighborhood (slower song), thx!!!
You can't compare the M&P's and the Beatles!!! Apples and oranges man...The Beatles are greatest rock band in the universe and the most creative and talented group that has ever been. Their shtick wasn't all hippie harmonies and San Francisco trips...The Mamas & Papas had their own unique sound and were on a different groove. No comparison...
John Lennon wrote the song even before The Beatles' formation. The song was first recorded by Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas, and was the B-side of their single "Bad to Me"
Lennon was supposedly unhappy with the arrangement and its being on the B-side of the single, so The Beatles recorded and released it on the 1964 Long Tall Sally EP.
the beatles were great musicians but their vocals weren't as good as the ones in bands like the mamas and the papas, Jefferson Aiprlane or Big Brother & The Holding Company. McCartney was the only one who could really sing and his work with Linda is amazing too.
Mama Cass's voice just had this tonal quality that I've never heard before or since - it just burrowed its way into your soul. I loved listening to her as a young lad in the 60's - and she sounds just as good now here. Music in the mid sixties just blew me away. Most of the groups sang in harmony and sang about love- qualities not so prevalent today unfortunately...RIP Mama Cass - your songs will always be in my heart..
Mama Cass RULES!!! I still have the original vinyl that my parents owned....replete with the scribblings of a late-60's elementary schoolchild.....
I remember emulating Cass (hell, I STILL do, LOL) as she belt it out as only SHE could....(whilst I held a hairbrush as a mic)....good times!! God, Cass could *nail* it like no other. Too damned bad she left us so soon. RIP, lovely lady with the voice of an angel.
This is one of those very rare cases when someone could take a Beatles' song and make it better.

Michelle had a very soft voice and could barely be heard over Cass. So in the studio they had to mix very astutely.

Cass Elliott was outstanding, and through her music she lives forever in our hearts. What a talent! She left us way too soon.

Only a moron will compare them with Beatles puppets.

Hey nobody should compare nothing. Beatles gave their piece to music, and M&Ps gave their. Personally i listen more to Mamas and Papas, but Beatles are also an important group in music's history.

God damn! The last eight seconds of this song are what makes this songs for me. God bless you Cass Elliott and your voice that could move any heart, mountain, or planet !!!

The problems with the older groups were simple, they liked to party as much as they liked to sing. And also never to be married to fellow band members, look at ABBA. Married--great music, split up and then the group breaks up

It's ridiculous to claim that this wonderful group is the equal of the Beatles. Apples and oranges, just can't compare them! But certainly the Beatles wrote more songs and some better songs, although MP songs are great1!

The Beatles revolutionized music. If it were not for them we would not have had the Mamas and the Papas -so many!

Nah, John, cass and Denny were already performing in 1962 (remember "Please Please Me, The Beatles first single was released on December 1962) And anyway Psychedelic rock was created in San Francisco by the likes of Jefferson Airplane around 1965, (The beatles just recorded the Rubber Soul album) So The San Francisco bands would have existed without the beatles!

mamas and papas were heads and shoulders above the beatles-musically and vocally,also,they have done most of their music by themselves-without the help of million studio musicians like George Martin,who has arranged and produced
most of best beatles songs like "day in a life'
LSD and others.

I prefer the Beatles version, but this is far more "sing-able". Cass Elliott had a great voice, just amazing. Another rock band that might have lived longer, but the sixties got in their way.

Always loved this group, they had a certain something about them.. Great stuff. If you have time, click on my name to check my channel and original songs, especially the songs called Soul of a Woman and In the Neighborhood (slower song), thx!!!

You can't compare the M&P's and the Beatles!!! Apples and oranges man...The Beatles are greatest rock band in the universe and the most creative and talented group that has ever been. Their shtick wasn't all hippie harmonies and San Francisco trips...The Mamas & Papas had their own unique sound and were on a different groove. No comparison...

Someone correct me if I am wrong but was this not a Lennon and Mcartney composition?
47millionvictors 2 years ago
John Lennon wrote the song even before The Beatles' formation. The song was first recorded by Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas, and was the B-side of their single "Bad to Me"
Lennon was supposedly unhappy with the arrangement and its being on the B-side of the single, so The Beatles recorded and released it on the 1964 Long Tall Sally EP.

You sorta forget how great a singer Mama Cass was. And the great harmonies they had. And why didn`t Michelle ever put a record out?

mamas and papas are amazing but WOW it makes you realize how no band can touch the beatles
asianwhitenigger 2 years ago
the beatles were great musicians but their vocals weren't as good as the ones in bands like the mamas and the papas, Jefferson Aiprlane or Big Brother & The Holding Company. McCartney was the only one who could really sing and his work with Linda is amazing too.

Mama Cass's voice just had this tonal quality that I've never heard before or since - it just burrowed its way into your soul. I loved listening to her as a young lad in the 60's - and she sounds just as good now here. Music in the mid sixties just blew me away. Most of the groups sang in harmony and sang about love- qualities not so prevalent today unfortunately...RIP Mama Cass - your songs will always be in my heart..

Mama Cass RULES!!! I still have the original vinyl that my parents owned....replete with the scribblings of a late-60's elementary schoolchild.....
I remember emulating Cass (hell, I STILL do, LOL) as she belt it out as only SHE could....(whilst I held a hairbrush as a mic)....good times!! God, Cass could *nail* it like no other. Too damned bad she left us so soon. RIP, lovely lady with the voice of an angel.
