The Mamas And The Papas & Barry McGuire - Do You Believe In Magic [1965]

A recording from Barry's album "This Precious Time". Mamas and Papas appeared here as a backing vocal boys and girls. As you see, i put here some footage rom Shindig, where McGuire sang "Do You Believe In Magic" of cause. Wow... It's a 1965! The Mamas and Papas start their career so early!
Hope you enjoy this classical one.

john lennon and bob dylan had a few words to say about mama cass and barry in a taxi cab

@bectonbrainwave Oh, i know there's a footage on YT, with Dylan little bit drunk, and Lennon inside the car.. Would be interesting to check it out again? What they were arguing about Cass and Barry? :)

Love it when Cass and Michelle come in at the end. Keyboard King Larry Knechtal's piano solos kick ass too.

RIP, Larry

Hi, are you sure that it's Larry on keybords? What is your source? I think he joined M&Ps only in 1967 in Monterey and then recorded Papas&Mamas. It's really interesting to me. And thanks for a great comment :)

Saw Barry in Motherwell,Scotland this month.He's still got it-a great night Barry and fantastic memories of the 60's!!

Wowee. Yessir. Still can't help thinking it's an exaggerated luxury to use Ms&Ps as a mere backing group, but you can't argue with the results! Another gem.

@christopher60s The Wrecking Crew played on ALL of the Mama's and Papa's records among MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY others...

@christopher60s his source is good check yours as the dude played keys on eve of destruction and Bazzas 1st album.....cheers

@christopher60s

He is THE piano player on practically every hit that came out of LA in the mid 60s and he played (and is credited) on all 4 of their first lps. Both John and Michelle even thanked him when the were inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame. He played on thirteen #1 records (along w/ the wrecking crew) Billboard's Hot 100 in a row!!

They were used as a backing group because they hadn't been launched by "California Dreaming" yet.

I've added Barry McGuire in my contacts at Facebook.

II's great to re-connect with the singer, since I first

met him at a local Calvary Church here in Hamilton, MT,

just before he began his evening spiritual performances,

back on September 22, 2004.

In addition, Barry's cover of The Lovin' Spoonful's

signature folk-rocker is just as good as the original. :)

I'm not too fussy...

I like this version and The Lovin' Spoonful's original. :)

[soxfan1957]

Awesome. Great post.

[coolsweetgroovy]

I love this one better than The Loving Spoonfuls version this one is much better no offense
