Cass Elliot - It's getting better (live vocal)

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

Cass Elliot had one of the greatest voices in music history. She COULD SING. Hey kids ... now you know what real talent is. Your grandparents listened to this, drove GTs, spent 25 cents for a gallon of gas, had no worries and those 13 TV channels had more than the 200 or 300 channels have today. Those were great times.

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

Just your opinion. People on youtube say that about all there favorite singers or groups. In any event, it won't save your soul on judgement day. Jesus Christ already paid the price on cross for our sins. You can't sing for your salvation or be a hero either. It is a free gift from God through Jesus Christ.

[@PrivateTuesday]

This was the height of the Vietnam war

[@RareJ-Dorama-l2l]

13 channels? Luxury! We only had 3 in the UK, until Channel 4 launched in 1982!

[@tlw1950]

One of the great forgotten songs of the late 1960s.

[@FREDBO-lb6rn]

Soar High with the Angels Cass. All God's Children got a Place in The Choir. 🙏🇺🇲🇮🇱🌎🇮🇱🇺🇲👋🌻💐😇🥰

[@edgeworldpictures6831]

The song is perfectly constructed. Cass has the voice of angels. So pure.

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

When have you been to heaven to hear the angels sing? Just your opinion. People on youtube say that about all there favorite singers or groups. In any event, it won't save your soul on judgement day.

She was!!!!!!!

[@nevillehill5210]

Yep sure is , all woman , plus size & proud of it , & what a voice

[@RebornAudio]

God, I wish this woman was still alive today. What an absolute talent.

[@robertsafner8018]

Definitely and Karen Carpenter too. Both had great voices.

[@nicktatters7523]

My thoughts too @robertsafner8918 👍 Not like the trash nowadays

[@alistairfordom3675]

I would advise anyone filled with doubt or distress to listen to this. Cass does something only a few other singers and performers do for me. A wonderful singer and a wonderful song.

[@KeithMather-r4g]

My name is Keith and I am a 74yrs old Scot who has loved this lady since the moment I first heard her singing way back in the 60's and it may sound stupid but I miss her more and more as I near the end of my life. I love all kind of music but as far as I am concerned there will never, ever be another singer like Cass Elliot and I am dreading the 29th of July 2024 because it will be the 50th anniversary of her death and I will be absolutely broken hearted and I'm not ashamed to admit it - R.I.P. Cass 😢💔🙏

John I have news. RELIGION is poison and you're an assho"e. Jesus is a myth

[@scottmorley3672]

Free gift? Thats an oxymoron. You... you're just a plain moron.

[@jodielillywhite9372]

😮 The sad thing is that when the lights go out on your final day, you wont be alive to realise how ignorant and disrespectful you clearly are. You're not a Christian, a Christian wouldn't go out of their way to make people feel stupid! Also you mention opinions? Well religion is the ultimate matter of opinion.

[@KeithMather-r4g]

@jodielillywhite9372 How dare you judge me, you stupid ignorant woman, you are the kind of person who has never been anywhere or done anything with their life, I have worked and lived all over the World, and you are one of these stupid religious fanatics who need to get a life and start living in the real World, you so-called do gooders go about your pathetic lives, thinking you know it all, when in fact, you know absolutely nothing 🤬🖕🏽

[@JohnnnyJohn]

She was so groovy. I would have been so in love with her back then.

[@davidmorgam8993]

Beautiful Lady and voice, what’s left to say....

[@thedailyjankro8678]

[@basswars7060]

One of the best voices of her generation.

[@donnafinlayson9613]

One of the best voices EVER!

[@latoshawhite8495]

cass is so sweet 🪕🎸🥁🎹🎤☮️

[@din6675]

A singer that actually sounds better live.

[@knockshinnoch1950]

Cass is 28 here. I vividly remember hearing Tony Blackburn announce Cass' tragic death on his Radio 1 morning show, August 1974. A sad day. She had so much more to give the world.

[@graypalj]

Beautiful! I can't get enough of Cass Elliot!

[@tjfSIM]

She was gorgeous 🙂

[@groovygirl23]

Cass, you were brilliant. Thank you for the music you left us! What a voice!

[@Tackyonetwo]

She was just wonderful!

[@Tatortot318]

Boy what talent, and we got to live those years...you should be jealous today...

[@GeeCeeWU]

They might be if they ever get their heads out of their bloody phones.

[@duncansmith8992]

One of the few people in this world, who can make you happy, even though they are no longer here. Eric Morecambe is another one. Cass, you were/ are amazing. Whenever I feel I need a ‘lift’, I put you on and my life is a bit more enjoyable. God bless you.

[@danbernethy494]

Love this song! And man, she could sing!

[@debrahitchman416]

100% Agree 🎤

[@zeekmx1970]

She makes me tear up every time.

Me too!

[@shalaremcurrambo-music]

I Love Mama Cass she was my 1st love ever.

[@jamey55lee]

Such a wonderful voice she had.

[@suziekg77]

Actually get goosebumps whenever i hear her sing. Such a beautiful voice. God bless you mamma cass ❤️

[@mikehudson8884]

Yes, I know what you mean. I do too.

[@GeeCeeWU]

California Dreaming by the Mamas and the Papas still has the same effect on me decades later along with tears of joy and sadness combined. Close your eyes and that song creates a whole atmosphere around itself. you can pick out Cass's voice from the amazing harmonies. Their greatest ever song in my opinion.

[@mightyquinnproductions8672]

Always loved her singing so clear so smooth and uplifting

[@stevecampbell6294]

Great song by one of the greatest singers of all time.

[@duncansmith8992]

Whenever I feel a bit low, I watch this. Guaranteed to uplift you and appreciate life. What a great woman and talent. God bless( and I am not particularly religious).

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

God does not bless those living for this world and it is too late. she is dead. You know nothing about religions or the Bible. Try reading the Bible and start in the new testament with the book of Romans to Revelations.

[@markwhitman9542]

Cass was so special - a light often shone from her. Wonderful performance!

[@alejandrogolt68]

No song sums up the feeling of being In love for the 1st time better than this one..

[@robertweisner6768]

Vivid memories from the summer of 1969...when I was just 17. Mama Cass rocks in any era.

[@shawnyoung8752]

She could hold her own with Ms Franklin an Fitzgerald. Wide range of songs.

[@douglaso6428]

We need this now more than ever... We have to believe and we need the songbirds who will give us something to sing to help get through the hard times.

[@catman3552]

It's nice to see and hear an actual live performance instead of a live video with the studio version.

[@zafonic5965]

God bless that voice

[@marclaw4511]

Pure talent.

[@ChadQuick270W]

From what I can gather from IMDB it appears that this show aired on Monday, February 23, 1970 and Cass was on the show all that week. I’d sure like to see those shows. I hope they survived and are in a vault somewhere. We need good television like this back today.

[@prinspray]

Agree

[@garyfaulkner1480]

Such a shame...she was so talented..RIP momma cass❤

[@NealSchultz]

One of my favorite songs. NO AUTOTUNE here - you can actually hear her singing. For so long I believed the story that she choked on a chicken sandwich (pushed by her agent). Sadly heart failure took this wonderful voice from us.

[@duncansmith8992]

What a great, uplifting human being Cass Elliott was. Love her to bits. Thanks for everything.

What a beautiful voice. And a wonderful song too...we need this positiveness more than ever.

[@thomassperduti4500]

Momma Cass Elliott and Dusty Springfield had the most pure voices of all the ladies.

[@tlw1950]

I would add Karen Carpenter to complete the trifecta.

Truly great vocalist, up there with Karen Carpenter and Judith Durham

[@desmondtalent6721]

Pure class

[@monkeyboss2321]

It's so hard to believe CASS left us nearly 50 years ago!!! I still grieve for her and miss her so much. She was far too good for this world! I'll never understand why ppl couldn't just love and accept her for the absolutely beautiful amazing woman she was. She didn't deserve to be fat shamed and made out to be the butt of every fat joke. Especially when she wasn't that big!!! So unfair she was put through so much bullshit simply because she was a little bigger than a stick!! Rest in Peace CASS! You may be gone BUT YOU WILL NEVER EVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!!

[@sirloinofbeef9688]

she left this world far too early

[@stevecox7075]

Sir Loin of beef : well, it was hardly unexpected, let's face it.

[@tonycavey1155]

best female singer ever such a shame she left us so early

[@badtux]

@@ferociouswaffle8484 Obesity often leads to high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. Being 100 pounds overweight at her age reduces your lifespan by an average of nineteen years. Even more harmful in her era were many of the diet drugs available, many of which had a high incidence of heart attacks associated with them. Between her attempts to lose weight via diet drugs (as versus diet and exercise) and her obesity, it was a sad and tragic but not unexpected thing for her to die of a heart attack.

[@badtux]

@@ferociouswaffle8484 The diet pills of that era were evil. They probably caused more heart attacks than obesity ever would have. They're all banned today, of course. I have little doubt that the fast diet-pill-assisted weight loss was primary cause of the fatal heart attack.

[@jbyesterday3959]

To hear her voice come through so pure & clear "live" like this warms my heart & makes me smile, while it also brings a tear knowing how this beautiful angelic soul left us much too song.
