Mama Cass - It's Getting Better (1969)

[MisterBlue55]

My mum went to see Mama Cass at the London Palladium a week before she died. Then I lost my mum in '77. I always loved this song since the day it was released. The Paul Jones version was not a patch on this one!

[54kathleen]

Mama Cass was a beautiful singer. I love this song. Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!

[prideparkheroes]

what a lovely voice she had,great song too.

[Raincitywarrior]

she was a beautiful lady and a great singer rip mama cass

[SassyBratt1]

Just like Florence Ballard of the Supremes the world was robbed of a young talent gone too soon.

[SassyBratt1]

I remember the day she died and my old Grandma now dead (God Bless Her Heart) told us that Cass had just died from choking on a ham sandwich! I was baffled to say the least.

[Chris234ify]

@SassyBratt1 The ham sandwich story is completely false.

[TheDavidjoy]

A great song by a great singer. How is it nothing today matches the melodies of the sixties. Great shame. Glad my time was the sixties, magic.

[BlueLimeMan]

Great voice she had!!

[TheRanhyn]

How many of the loves of our lives start out like this song? I know mine did, and I love her as much, if not more now than I did when I met her back in the 70s

[MegaJohncoffey]

@TheRanhyn WHAT A VOICE, BRILLIANT SINGING FROM MAMA CASS, HARD TO BELIEVE SHE IS NEARLY GONE 38 YEARS AGO 1974, WHEN YOU THINKS OF THE RUBBISH TODAY, THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER MAMA CASS GOD BLESS HER 

[autumngold86]

Someone fill me in....how would 'LOST' bring anyone to Cass Elliot?

[jackamo23]

@autumngold86 The song featured in one of the episodes, it's that simple (the one that introduced Julia in the village on the island if memory serves). Whatever route brings you here, whether you are old enough to remember Cass Elliot's music when it came out or discovering her for the first time, I applaud your taste, this track alone blows 99.9 % of banal corporate media 'muzak' currently released, out of the water.

[TheAnkh1972]

She was in the League of talent as Patsy Cline...I think the Cline would approve...

[cheektowagagary]

What a voice !!!! A rare talent that left us much too early. Miss ya !!!

[McPrfctday]

Love Miss Cass so much! Seriously illuminati record cover! :o

[JustAnnie51]

Cass was soooo talented,, I absolutely Love this song, it just gets you in the best mood,,, sure do miss this lovely Lady!!!

[trailerparkboy247]

No doubt this is superb. It makes me think of the TV show LOST these days though!!

[MyFan1871]

BRILLIANT

[dq093063]

fantastic record, luv it

[granmut]

If only I had a voice like that I would sing every day.

[bigbaddemoness]

Adele can only dream of being as pretty and as talented as mama cass!!!!

[MrBillyg51]

Love this song and it always puts me in a good mood. Perfect pop.

[gorkiisnear]

I can tell Adele is the reencarnation of Mama cass

[warioman91]

@gorkiisnear NO

[mygirlruth]

@gorkiisnear

no way.

[esubijano]

This was one of my favourite song in the 60s. It really brings me back.

[brocka2002]

ugh imma fan of hers know ..i download this as my ringtone love it..she was beautiful to me..fuk people that call her fat...make music for yours eyes not for eyes ♥ rip cass

[cclub002000]

people called her fat .... she was beautiful in her own way ....what a voice  great times in the late 60s listening to this song

[windstorm1000]

wonderful pwerful  voice and song. the gay movement must have taken this song as an anthem for despairing gay youth---'its getting better''---Cass--sort of an outsider would have approved.

[permaveg]

Nestea do vile tests on animals, bastards.

[zzyyxxo]

She was so much better than this part of her career. It's sad she died before she found her place.

[IsabellaAvalonQuinn]

I am a kid again with the record going round and round ! ~Bubble gum and lemonade Something for Mama ~ I sure wish I could find the rest of the songs from that record on you tube .....I think her best work was post Mama's and Pappa's

[TheDavidG54]

Beautiful Thing 4EVA

[floresebu]

Humanity, Western civilization especially, wasn't doomed because of the 60s! It was doomed as the result of World War One which destroyed so much of humanity and brought us communism, fascism, nazism and the religious fanaticism tht threatens to destroy us......

[h0gwartz]

@floresebu all true, but television hasn't helped

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

I have always loved this song.

Thank you for posting it and for the memories.

George Vreeland Hill

[Wiczanin]

I very like this song, just commercial neasty brough me here :) Bless from Poland ! :)

[gregfroy222]

It feels good to be listening to a song that has inspired past generations and will continue to inspire countless more.

[bondsee]

lovely voice lovely song, rest in peace cassie

[BrizSheelz]

I'd forgotten how beautiful she was

Thanks Nestea!!!

[Brightmixdotcodotuk]

I agree with GuyJon57. We're screwed today because of the 1960's. The decay is too far gone to save it.

[thunderstrook1]

nicely put guyjon57 what a WANKER !!!!

[PetePirate24]

@GuyJon57.....WANKER, listen to what Mama Cass is saying

[GuyJon57]

stupid song... nothing got better, morals started to decay, this was the decade that brought down the world as it is today...

[58terryg]

@GuyJon57 wow! are'nt you a ray of sunshine! ...this was when music was actually music!

[Naveisme]

Great song!

[charrobSix]

-always loved her voice... so clear and so beautiful...

[TheDavidG54]

Thumps up if Beautiful Thing is one of your favourite movies :-)

[neilm900]

Truly great songs never age, this still sounds fresh today 40 years after release.

[Bigbearbeau]

beautiful inside and out.. angel

[bolanrules]

ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS, FULL OF HEART AND SOUL, GOD BLESS YA' MISS ELLIOT.

[funkmasterjee]

GREAT song

......from the era when they seemed to be able to write great songs

[RobbieTyler1]

Mamma Cass died the day I was born......

[Bigbearbeau]

@RobbieTyler1 you are truly blessed she became your angel!

[keepXonXrockin]

what the hell is nestea?

[Sugarbehr1967]

@keepXonXrockin Nestea...instant tea...

[keepXonXrockin]

@Sugarbehr1967 ohhh I only know of nescafe.. never seen nestea in germany

[missjoshemmett]

i remember dashing right out and getting this single! miss her great voice...

[ABookByAnyOtherName]

Mama Cass, the person I go to when everything is getting jumbled up and the world seems chaotic.

[acarnivorous]

What a wonderful and special Lady! Cut way to short in Life by a Ham/Bread! We miss you, special Lady!

[4string59]

@acarnivorous Cass died in her sleep from a heart attack...not the bogus sandwich story, which got circulated before her autopsy was performed.

[aerlingus18]

snuff box.

[Myaucat]

Mama Cass would not approve the Nestea shills using her song.

[alb999video]

What the Devil's Nestea?

Mamas and Papas brought me here.

Voice and a half..

[raewyn1960]

She had such an easy listening voice.

[tescarineto]

Love Mamma Cass! :)=

And, in this time of a love experience, nothing better than listening to her! :)))

[SuzSeptember]

cass elliot brought me here..not lost or nestea

[ABookByAnyOtherName]

@SuzSeptember same bro, right on

[blackandtanful]

ﾏﾏ･ｷｬｽ･ｴﾘｵｯﾄだ!～華はあっけに散ってしまった!～­懐し"It's Getting Better"～ﾊﾞﾘｰ･マン&ｼﾝｼｱ･ｳｪﾙの名ﾎﾟｯﾌ­ﾟ･ﾛｯｸ!

[superstubes]

love it...

[OneHitWonderGuy]

PolandBoy14, absolutely, the Nestea commercial brought me here immediately and you get another thumbs-up from me. Commercially, this has been a great move for Nestea to bring back this long-forgotten beloved and nostalgic hit from the inimitable Mama Cass, #30 on the chart from August '69, her second-highest placing as a solo artist (the first was "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" from exactly a year earlier (#12 Aug '68)

[stevenschnare]

thumbs up if lost brought you here

[xyzman1962]

I introduced this song to the love of my life,because it best describes my love for her. :)

[eireman]

MISSING YOU CASS!!! BEAUTIFUL.. SONG and DONE.. by A BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT!!!

[friedpants]

Nestea commercial brought me here.

[joycejnn]

The photo of Mama Cass at 20 is taken at the Monterey festival and sitting behind her in the blue shirt is the hugely talented Alan Wilson from Canned Heat.

[asgharjigar]

Nestea made this song for a commercial in 2011.

[tbay581]

Just an Incredibly, Beautiful Song, that only Mama Cass could sing.

[Poopaloo55]

Brings back lovely memories of first love.  Nice...thanks for that!

[Guleedqt]

Thumbs for the show 'LOST'

[Guleedqt]

Thumbs up if the show 'LOST' brought you here.

[nomenklaturahippie]

bellissima canzone!

[cubanbach]

Mama Cass, I love you wherever you are. You'll always be in my heart.

[leconser]

Too bad nobody has an original video of her actually singing this wonderful song! If someone does, pleas upload!!!!!

[dinoboyjp123]

Honestly, it doesn't matter what brought you here! The point is it's a beautiful song and we all wanted to here it more.

[daemperador123]

Thumbs up if beautiful thing brought you here :)

[cubanbach]

@daemperador123  Adore the film! :) wooo

[babsbunny83]

[MicrowaveX]

Yeah, Beautiful Thing caused it, not Nestea :)

[NobleHam]

Nestea? Come on. Beautiful Thing, guys.

[Glamagal20091]

A super tune. It is regularly played on UK radio stations.

[xxl606]

Nestea can pick a good song :D
