For me, Cass Elliot WAS the Mamas and the Papas. That powerful voice and personality continue to resonate through the music.

Wrote by the child molester himself, funny how people seem to ignore that little piece of information,Michelle adamantly denies these claims made by the couples daughter.

I liked their music when I was 22 and now I am 60 and love it even more. Pretty

incredible stuff for the age and just now being recognized 40 yrs later.

This song, like most of their stuff was heavily overdubbed, that is why they never sounded good live. They were really a studio group, but I love their songs and arrangements.

Thanks for straightening the know-nothings out.

Where do you get vocals like that anymore without auto tune? To me, this is probably one of the best songs they ever did.
