[@pibly7784]

Yes !

[@wookinooki9023]

one of the best medleys ever on TV.

[@graphiquejack]

We lost Cass’ voice too early and Julie lost hers too early as well due to medical negligence and malpractice. The world has lost two of the greatest female voices, but thankfully we have performances like this recorded so we can watch them forever.

[@johnredhd]

Cass Elliot was truly one of the best female pop voices ever. I loved her.

[@peterbreughel4440]

Remember when television was full of talented people singing together?

[@rainbowgold6410]

Yup. Not anymore

[@funshine817]

I want to go BAAAACK! Such terrific memories of those glorious days. 😍😍 The music was off the chain!

[@itsaxZOMBIE]

[@FlowersInHisHair]

Their voices go so beautifully well together, don't they?

[@fozzieatdetourbillnye5514]

Agreed. Love both women as singers and people. Best different genre duo before Little Drummer Boy by Bing Crosby/David Bowie

I know know ... it's GREAT.....

[@waynebrasler]

Cass was such a natural talent. Nothing forced, nothing phony, nothing extraneous. She and Julie harmonize beautifully and they are singing live. Two great talents and Cass would have enjoyed a big big career had she lived.

[@pibly7784]

Yes !

[@MurasakiFujiwara]

Their harmonizing is flawless.

[@MerleOberon]

So many cruel remarks, Cass gave us so many great songs, a true artist, let's remember her contributions...

[@scottjones7562]

Amen

[@Harriemes]

...and she was a very pretty girl too!

[@dilsiam]

She got a mean treatment by people because she was overweight, how ridiculous is that?

[@tjfSIM]

@@dilsiam I know, it's a very shallow and small-minded world sometimes.

[@Smashmallows]

I have been singing almost my entire life and this is, by far, the best harmonizing I have ever heard. Both ladies had perfect pitch and hit every note. I have no doubt that I will listen to this over and over. Cass Elliott was so unique and special. She had a spark that can't be described. Your eye just goes directly to her. Rest in love, beautiful lady. ♥️

[@TheSoupdragon1968]

Harmonising is what mama Cass did best, it brought the best out of her voice, a silken layer hovering above or below... Amazing!!!

[@DebbieH5731]

Completely agree. It's hard to tell where one voice ends and the other begins. Very beautiful ❤

[@WhiteCamry]

"Hello, Darkness, my old friend ..." Never thought I'd hear ever Julie Andrews sing that.

[@millers3888]

Andrews, a child prodigy, is in perfect form as usual. With the talent and uniqueness of Cass Elliot, these two are great. Elliot was so great in her day and had a great ear, she could harmonize with anyone.

[@dvinedzine]

Cass had such a warm, friendly quality in her voice. I think she also appeared on the Carol Burnette show, even did sketches with her. She was really good, had the timing and everything. No telling what she could have become if she had lived. A Broadway star, anything.

[@NP4Mayans]

I forgot that the human voice could be so beautiful with the way it gets drowned out in so much music, or the singer just sings loudly and coarsely. These 2 sing like angels; and Mama Cass may very well be one.

[@jimanderson5883]

Patsy Cline, Cass Elliot, and Julie Andrews are 3 of the top female vocalists ever. Beautiful voices.

[@paulocavalcanti5330]

Watching this for the first time in 2019 and I believe I have just seen one of the most beautiful duos of all time!.

[@drewherzig]

Me, too. like watching Marilyn Horne and Joan Sutherland - what beautiful blending of voices. Cass is amazing.

[@JK-hq4vi]

Musical theater was Mama Cass' dream. She must have absolutely loved this. Two absolutely priceless voices.

[@wmden1]

I had no idea this existed. What a nice, unique surprise. High quality harmony. They should have recorded an album, or two, together.

[@TepiLizard]

Wow, who'd'a thunk that the delicate British soprano voice would meld so well with the brassy American alto? On music by the best folk duo to exist, no less. I've long revered both singers (as well as S&G), but I would never thought to combine them all! Dang, thank you, Internet, for allowing us to see these years after airing. And thank you, OP, for posting this!

[@cynaraslover]

I had been looking literally for years for this clip; Simon and Garfunkel should be very proud of this take on their music. Julie Andrews is a musical theatre legend, Cass Elliot is a rock/pop legend. Their voices and personalities blended so felicitously that we, the listeners, have much to be grateful for. I will never understand those mean-spirited mediocrities, those sad losers, who find it necessary to comment on Ms Elliot's size. I have met guys who do that, they are usually pathetic flabby or scrawny specimens who couldn't attract a woman of any size to save their lives. Remember, you fools, fat people can always lose weight -- but you all will NEVER have talent!!

[@LeslieGStormwarden]

That comment was so very on-point and so very eloquently stated! You, sir, are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the obvious thought you invested in your statements, your commentary on the small-mindedness of certain types of people & for your recognition of how woefully *under*-lauded Mama Cass Elliot was and still is. Her talent and remarkable skill (not to mention versatility!) really shine here. For those with an ear that is actually trained in music (academically trained or experientially trained, it matters little here), it is manifestly obvious that it is Cass Elliot who displays the most versatility & skill in the use of her instrument (ie - her voice) in both her talent & in how she chose to apply her chosen methodology throughout this duet. Put simply, for those who actually know *how* to listen to (and, by extension, comment relevantly on) music, it is *very* clear that Cass modelled her style of delivery after Julie Andrews' style of music in this medley, not the other way around. And I *LOVE* Julie Andrews!!! I'm just giving credit where it is due, both to the performers and to you, sir, who clearly know what to listen and look for in musical performances. Thank you!

[@VintageRose75]

Agree completely. Mamma Cass was instrumental in helping a lot of great musicians get started, Crosby, Stills and Nash, for example...

[@tywilliamnash5078]

I never knew that they had ever collaborated together. I've never seen this before either. How Fun And Cool Was That! I love them both. We miss Mama Cass Elliott, may she rest in peace.

And now, we miss the voice of Julie Andrews, too. This is a cautionary word. We never know how life will change...what will be taken away from us, even though we are still alive.

Two great women with strong, beautiful voices that have yet to be matched today.

Hi Diana💐💐

[@kristennflores1465]

Never has such a talented performer been subject to such vitriol as Cass Elliot. Her ability to harmonize that beautiful voice is amazing; this duet in particular, as well as another she did with Andrews of Elliot's hits are proof. Two great voices that worked perfectly together. It is so sad we lost this gem, and I'm grateful that KZbin provides a forum for this, as otherwise they would be impossible to find. Like others here I wish they would find the originals and re-mater them. How priceless they would be. I'm honored that despite "Mama" dying many years before I was born that I can help carry her legacy when so many of my generation will never know her name or appreciate her amazing talent.

[@erandifernandezgarces2166]

[@edgefire125]

This made me happy in ways I can't even describe. Simon & Garfunkel songs (mostly from the Graduate, my God), Mama Cass and Julie singing them together, and those VOICES. When Julie passes - please, please not soon - we will have lost two of the most exquisite human voices in the history of this world. They make me hope for humanity, that is how strong their voices are - straight into my heart.

[@9aspengold5]

Mama Cass never got the recognition she should have for her awesome voice. People wouldn't look past her size.

[@notrombones5041]

Nice live recording. Great natural voices, no autotune. How can you lose with these 2 talents? Love it.

[@LLewis-vu9qf]

It's possible for two people with lovely, distinctive voices to sing together but not sound good. These two were practically born to sing together. Just sublime! 💖👏👏

I'm convinced had Cass Elliot lived she would be remembered and revered by women as Bob Marley and John Lennon are by everyone today - singular talents whose lives were taken WAY too soon.

[@hixtonweasle6169]

Tony G. Pizza i think that she would have probably acted as well. i see it. either in a movie, or grand dame of musicals on stage. probably both.

[@unamckillen7125]

+Tony G. Pizza I agree. She had massive, untapped potential. To me she would have been a stand-up because she was funny: dry, ironic, laconic but she mayjust as well have been an actress because she had a big, dramatic personality, which would have translated well to the stage or the screen or she may just have carried on singing and we would all be the better for it.

[@notrombones5041]

+Tony G. Pizza She probably would have had a bunch of hits, at least thru the 70s, perhaps much longer, if she could have made the transition to the techno 80s.

[@rosechardonnay5351]

Cass Elliot was such an immensely talented woman she's a fantastic singer, dynamic performer, fabulous personality I think had she lived she would've achieved the highest heights in her career. She was only getting started....

[@BTURNER1961]

Body image is but one image, one dimension and people have so many facets, so many dimensions to them. The day when talent cannot burst free of our stereotypes is a day that performing is forever separated from the arts. If we were mature enough to figure that out in the 1970's we ought to have stayed that way 35 years later.

[@carolyndavenport8899]

Cass could sing well and harmomize beautifully with anyone. Such a great talent!

[@thunderstruck665]

Cass Elliot's voice had an incredible tone. She was fantastic!

[@liedubosc]

I would never have imagined these two together despite the fact they are two of my favorites. However, they are absolutely beautiful together. Their voices blend and harmonize as though they sang together all the time.

[@Asiablue]

There are many songs I love, but few singers I truely miss. I miss Mama Cass, and wish she was still among us. What a voice...what a magical voice...

[@robertstoico8012]

When the Mamas and Papas ended, Cass didn't like that the "Mama" moniker stuck with her.Though her first two solo albums were marketed as such, when she left that record company, she was able to drop the Mama title.Her next two albums were labeled as her real name Cass Elliot, Her last album, a live album, was entitled Don't Call Me Mama Anymore, which includes a song of the same name. In the last line of the song she says "You can call me Cass." In her honor, I never refer to her as Mama Cass unless I'm referring to her in context of that group. Otherwise, I just call her Cass..

[@antoinettecrous2900]

+Robert Stoico I share your EXACT sentiment! I only speak of Mama Cass when referring to her M&P days. I feel this is my little gesture of respect to this amazing lady. I feel that true Cass fans ought to call her Cass Elliot when talking about her solo career (or for that matter, even when talking about the Big 3 years, and the Mugwumps years)

[@AppleCorp3]

Cass has such a powerful voice, she's showing amazing restraint here. Speaks to a talented singer. Then of course there is Julie Andrews (nuff said). They blend very nicely!!

[@stevecrutchley3616]

I was a child when Cass was singing, her voice brought me joy and gave me goosebumps. Her death was the first time my heart broke. To lose such a voice so young, I loved her voice then, be I love it still. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I love how Cass tailors her technique to match Julie's. She is enunciating more than usual, spacing a little more between words, and altering her vowels ever so slightly. She's the reason this duet sounds so good.

These versions of Sound of Silence and Scarborough Fair make me shiver...pure talent and two voices perfectly harmonized. Simply amazing!

[@kieetnfuud]

Touching in so many ways. Who could've picked a better female duet to do S&G songs. When Cass gave Julie a look during the words "I'm on your side" - given the times - when Julie returned the look it was a moment of solidarity. During "Bridge" I got the feeling Julie was almost reaching out to her, knowing how large she was getting and the problems surfacing. Thanks for the upload, this is to cherish!
