Mama Cass’s “Dream a Little Dream of Me” is a must listen!

[@alienlv426ify]

Absolutely! Wonderful voice.

[@nickrizzi4927]

One of the greatest. Great ref!

[@bobbwebb9327]

Yesss!!!

[@dagmar.6954]

The Mamas & the Papas were a great folk rock group in the 60's. I had their records. They were known for their smooth harmonies. They had lots of great hits such as "Monday, Monday", "Dedicated To The One I Love", "Words Of Love", "Dancing In The Street", "Look Through My Window", "Creeque Alley", "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon)", "Safe In My Garden", "I Saw Her Again" etc. Mama Cass Elliot went solo & had a big hit with "Dream A Little Dream Of Me".

[@briangreen9677]

It's almost a crime that you didn't include "Go Where You Want To Go" and "Somebody Groovy". Two amazing songs of theirs.

[@suec9426]

One of the best songs ever

[@sonsofthunder915]

RIP John, Denny & Cass

[@GeV-gd7tt]

"monday monday" was the group's only #1 hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100

[@rexracer3221]

Michelle Phillips (the thinner girl) was married to John Phillips (the taller guy). He woke her up one night from a deep sleep and insisted she write down and work on this song. She got co-writing credit for California Dreamin', which turned into a gold mine. She says it was the best sleep she's ever missed.

[@leannmiller7153]

She inspired the song by complaining NY was too cold, and wished she was home in SoCal. Also, she loved old churches and had been visiting them.

[@treetopjones737]

He later on woke up his daughter for a different reason. SMH

[@rexracer3221]

@@treetopjones737 John Phillips was absolute garbage.

[@metalplane3]

The '60's had the best music and real musicians.

[@bertelliott1456]

Believe it or not, American cars had a big influence on pop music in the 60's. Most cars of that era only had an AM radio, which had mostly treble and mid-range sound. Bass was almost non-existent. So pop music was arranged to sound good on an AM radio. FM stereo didn't become common in American cars until the early 70's. Nice reaction Em!

[@bumperu]

I was 13 years old in 1966 and this is the song that got me and my friends living in the midwest begin our dreams of California. Some made it there and I didn't but it was a fun dream.

[@bbqujeh]

Mama Cass is the difference maker in this group, she had a beautiful voice.

[@shawnsparkman7916]

There's a family connection to Wilson Phillips who recorded "hold on for one more day".

[@scott3744]

Everybody loves *California Dreamin* It's one of those songs where everything about it is just right 👍😎

[@danastearns7939]

Monday Monday, Creque Alley,. Fabulous harmonies - all of them.

[@marvinboswell6889]

One of the top groups from the 60's, all the top artist were popular because of their singing talent

More from the folk-rock group, The Mamas and the Papas: Monday, Monday Go Where You Wanna Go I Saw Her Again Dedicated to the One I Love Creeque Alley Dream a Little Dream of Me

[@LordVolkov]

One of my favorite 'moody' songs. The twin twanging guitars and the echoing verses are so great - It starts off so well and then the drum kicks in 🤩 Throw in the flute bridge and it's a haunting track.

[@nickrizzi4927]

It's so funny you term it Moody music, cause I always find myself playing Moody Blues after listening to them! Good health to you.

[@LordVolkov]

@@nickrizzi4927 Moody Blues makes a great combo with Mamas & Papas 👍

[@wencireone]

"Dedicated to the one I love" is my favourite, because it's different

[@quicktastic]

Mama Cass had the premiere voice in the group. Their harmonies as a group worked so well though.

[@nickrizzi4927]

Emma! Great to see you again after quite a while. Dear young lady! This group and their music is the DNA of us ol folk. With your ear for quality you will really enjoy it, as will we watching your discovery! Best to all!

Pure voices. No auto tune.

That voce is Denny Doherty, so powerful. Al their voices work so well together. RIP Denny, Cass and John

[@LordLarion489]

I was devastated when Mama Cass died . I was 12 years old , and I thought that she was wonderful .😢😊

Micelle Phillips who has the soprano voice, co wrote the song California Dreamin.She later became an accomplished actress and model.who starred in the night time soap opera KnotsLanding and numerous movies and guest on television shows.

[@Alan_CFA]

“Twelve Thirty” is a great song

[@orangeandblackattack]

Emma, you need to do their song "I Saw Her Again". The lyrics were truth about interpersonal situations in the band.

[@billywix7313]

Hello Emma, now you must hear Monday, Monday. They have great old folk songs.

[@fredkrissman6527]

Part of the soundtrack of the 60s, one unrivaled in the history of popular music! I grew in Cali, so I could totally understand the sentiments expressed by those longing for the warmth of this great state... Thanx Emma, for reminding me of my youth!!!

[@fusiliers]

Easily one of the greatest vocal groups in history. No doubling of vocal tracks there, that's just four people singing; the reverb was usually added while mixing. Their harmonies were so perfect that they frequently created an overtone which gave the impression of a fifth voice, which the group nicknamed "Harvey". You picked up on their strong folk background which really shows in their voicing arrangements. It's definitely worth checking out are from their catalogue. Besides the hits everyone will recommend ("Monday, Monday", "Dream A Little Dream Of Me", etc.), I always suggest "I Call Your Name" and "Look Through My Window".

[@cheryla7480]

Denny Doherty ( the soloist ) was the only Canadian in the group. Another great song is “ Monday, Monday “

[@Jean-qf4ug]

I recommend you hear Monday Monday by the Mamas and Papas next. Beautiful harmonies.

[@SingwithEmmatoday]

I'll check it out!

[@lesgrice4419]

Michelle Phillips the female singer and John Phillips were married and had a child named Chynna Phillips who you might know as part of the Wilson Phillips singing group

[@DewJee2019]

This is so worth the dive. Monday, Monday by the group, and Dream A Little Dream Of Me by Mama Cass as a solo artist are essential. There's also major drama with this group that spans decades. Beautiful music, sordid tales and unspeakable allegations. But the music is outstanding!

[@julianday]

Monday Monday !

[@norwegianblue2017]

Back when California was still truly a paradise.

[@nigelwitgunn3406]

Denny Doherty went on to play the Harbourmaster in a childrens program called Theodore Tugboat, I loved watching it with my son.

[@nmt2k2]

Some little known trivia. This song was originally recorded by Barry McGuire of "Eve of Destruction" Fame! It was written by John and Michelle Phillips for Barry McGuire to record and for them to sing background on. After Maguire recorded it John and Michelle decided to take a shot on it, using the exact same instrument and backing vocal track McGuire did, and that's when The Mamas and Papas were born.

[@TheToscanaMan]

These guys were big medicine back in the day. Lots of hits. This song has been covered many times. Love your reaction ☮

[@barrylavender7938]

A great band from the 60s who were only together for a short time but had lots of hits like "Dedicated to the one I Love", "Words of Love" and "Monday, Monday".

[@MrYoup11]

Back in the early 90's there was a group called Wilson Phillips, consisting on the daughter of Phillips from the Mama and Papa's and a couple of daughters of Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys. They had a couple of hits that made the charts, you should check them out.

[@jimglenn6972]

I heard a story about the song that may be apocryphal since I can’t find any mention of it online. The group was rather unknown playing folk music in California in the early sixties. They got a message from a friend who wanted to know if they wanted to come and play at the hotel he was managing. They agreed and played for a while until they were let go by the hotel. They had little money and started island hopping using one member’s parent’s American Express card. The parents closed the card and it went on the “Do not accept” list that was mailed to merchants. When the Mamas found out, they were able to book a flight to New York. They lived in New York with had a bid folk-singing vibe. Since they were from LA, the New York winter was depressing. Michelle Philips liked to visit churches but her husband, who went to Catholic school, had zero interest. Michelle went into one church and pretended to pray. Some time later, her husband woke her up at night and had an idea for a some. They wrote together and sang in on the phone to their agent. He loved it and sent them tickets back to LA. After some time, it caught on. Maybe some or parts of the story is true but I like the tale.

[@jeffreythaw3333]

They have a fairly deep catalog of exquisitely crafted tunes. Everyone reacts to this and "Monday, Monday"...but there are SO many more! Try "Go Where You Wanna Go", "I Saw Her Again", "No Salt On Her Tail", "Dedicated to the One I Love", "Twelve Thirty"...

[@hounddog410amms]

The music of the 60's you can't beat!

[@sthenzel]

Not only a really beautiful piece of music, I also love how they used a strong stereo channel separation back then. Ok, it´s not that natural (in a live setting the listener had to be on stage to experience it that strong), but it adds kind od a dynamic and often, like here, emphasizes the back and forth between the singers and the location of the instruments.

[@berranari1]

Hi Emma. 😀 Two of them, the tall guy and the blonde girl had a daughter together, Chynna Phillips of Wilson Phillips.

[@paulf4650]

Yes, along with Wendy and Carnie Wilson. Daughters of Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys.

[@jbear3562]

The Mammas and Pappas were together as a band less than 2 years but their impact on Rock music echos to this day. The only memeber who still living is Michelle who (I Believe) was 16 when this recording was done.

[@fannybuster]

This is a flavor from "The Hippie Generation"

[@guanyin19]

Back when music was good. When singers could sing without the aid of auto tune, and people could still incorporate instruments into their music before synthesizers made everything sound artificial. If you're looking for other songs from this group, they have many hits. One of my favorites is Creeque Alley, which is a funny story about how other musical groups of that era were getting famous while this group sat around trying to think of music and lyrics and waiting for their big break.

[@Ou81gi812]

🎉 For future reference: Bobby Vinton…”Mr. Lonely” (1962), “Blue Velvet” (1963) and ”Roses are Red” (1962).

As a child of the sixties this type of music was playing at someplace or sometime in my life. While not the music I eventually gravitated to later on, I still appreciate it.

Great song choice. Sia does a cover of this and her voice is incredible. My favourite version is more rare. Eddie Hazel ex parliament/funkadelic guitarist. It's more bluesy and sounds like Jimi Hendrix.

[@davidgore3261]

Fun fact. When Denny sings "and I began to pray", if you listen carefully Michelle and Cass echo with "and I pretend to pray". They misheard when the song was put together and only discovered the error in a rehearsal a long time after they had been singing the song.

Good one, Emma! Loved this group back in the day. They were I think the first mixed gender rock group which is why they called themselves The Mamas & The Papas. They were also at the center of the Laurel Canyon, CA music scene in the mid-60's where many, many soon to be famous singers and musicians all lived and played together, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Joni Mitchell, Jim Morrison, The Byrds, Neil Young, Frank Zappa, Jackson Brown, Linda Ronstadt, and many more who were part of the Woodstock music festival. There's a wonderful documentary about it called Laurel Canyon that was released on DVD in 2020. You should check that out sometime. Thank you for sharing this one. 🙂

M&Ps had some of the best vocal arrangements. Such an important group from that era that kind of bridged the gap between the early-mid '60s Greenwich Village, NY folk scene and the burgeoning singer/songwriter folk-rock scene in California.. San Francisco and Laurel Canyon (Los Angeles).

The Beach Boys did a fantastic cover of this song, with a good video. You should watch that one too.

[@custisstandish1961]

The female leads were Michelle Phillips and Cass Elliott. Cass had her own solo career after the group broke up. She had a beautiful voice and died very young. Listen to the group Spanky and our Gang, contemporaries to the Mamas and Papas, their song Sunday Will Never Be the Same. The female lead for that band Spanky McFarland took over the Cass Elliott spot when the band got back together for short tours. While Spanky's voice was not as strong she filled in nicely.

[@wheelmanstan]

a perfect song

This song brought back many wonderful memories for me. Could I suggest the Byrds from that era singing "Turn turn turn?"
