The Big 3 - Young Girl's Lament

Fantastic Cass Elliot solo take with Big 3. She sings so natural, and you can simply imagine that "Bad Girl", She's singing. No question, Cass Elliot had a talent to sing blues. Young Girl's Lament is a beautiful longing song. Very cool for late night listenings :)
The Big THree was a short-living group, but it left us solid talent and music.

Wow, this video is MOODY! Once again, we can see that these are the best videos combining the images and sounds we have left from CE's work. I speak for all of us when I say thank goodness you are making these short films.

this song is beautiful, haunting, and chilling. i would have given anything to see cass elliot live, or to have met her. her voice was so strong and rough yet perfect. thanks so much for this, as a young fan i'm so glad her memory and music can live on!

[BilliRuth40]

oh yeah, she kept everyone in a trance all night then sat down and taught me this song after the show. I still sing it today -- not like she did, that's fer shur. What a powerhouse.

Cass' voice in this song just hurts piercing to the soul

[chopinbr]

When I was a young girl used to seek pleasure

when I was a young girl used to drink ale

aou of the alehouse and down to a jailhouse

right out of the barroom, down to my grave

had he but told me before he shamed me

had he but told me about it in time

I could've had potions and salts of white mercury

but now I'm a young girl cut down in my prime

[chopinbr]

get six young gamblers to carry my coffin

get me six young riders to sing me a song

but bunches of roses all ove my coffin

roses to muffle the clods as they fall

When I was a young girl, I used to seek pleasure

When I was a young girl, I used to drink ale

Out of the alehouse and down, down to the jailhouse

My body is ruined, they've left me to die

Cass could've gone on to do more music pretty much in the jazz field if she wanted to during her time alive but had she lived longer she would've gone in that field of music and thee is no doubt she would sell millions of albums worldwide. It's been 36 years since she passed but her voice will live on through her music that she gave us.

[sodimite]

[tigonheart]
