Cass Elliot at her very best (she never liked the name 'Mama Cass'). Recorded in 1969. The video includes images of Michelle Phillips because to exclude her would be just crazy. For all desert rats with a little savvy.
Once I believed that when love came to me
It would come with rockets, bells and poetry
But with me and you it just started quietly and grew
And believe it or not
Now there's something groovy and good
'Bout whatever we got
And it's gettin better
Growing stronger warm and wilder
Gettin better everyday, better everyday
I don't feel all turned on and starry eyed
I just feel a sweet contentment deep inside
Holding you at night just seems kind of natural and right
And it's not hard to see
That it isn't half of what it's gonna turn out to be
'Cause it's gettin' better
Growing stronger, warm and wilder
Gettin' better everyday, better everyday
Ba da da da da da da da da da da da
And I don't mind waitin', I don't mind waitin'
'Cause no matter how long it takes
The two of us know
That it's gettin better
Growing stronger, warm and wilder
Gettin better everyday, better everyday...

This is absolutely wonderful......it takes me back to '69 when I was only 16. I loved Mama Cass then and you know, I still do. It just seems kind of natural and right! Yeah Mama, right on.

I think Cass and Michelle maintained a very close relationship after "the ugliness". She called Michelle and raved to her about the standing ovations that she was getting in London. In fact, she was the last person Cass talked to before she died.

@4string59 Yes... you are absolutely right. Cass and Michelle remained good friends right up to the end.
