It is so magical when the right mix of people get together and the sound just clicks.

Denny Doherty and Cass Elliot are my favourite members of the group

[@ericburns9132]

The Harbour Master sure can sing

What made them so amazing is that they were able to hold their own although there were so many musical Genres. Motown, The British Invasion, The Beach Boys. The Fifth Dimension are known as The Black Mamas & Papas and ABBA are called The Swedish Mamas & Papas.

The Kids who were on the Boat were the Where The Action Is Dancers. They danced backup for so many folks. The Miracles, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, even Aretha Franklin and that was the tip of the iceburg.

One of my faves. Thanks for downloading. I really used to identify with Mama Cass.

[@selah7779]

They were so good. RIP - Cass, Denny and John. Actually, the dancers weren't needed. Loved watching the four and wondered what they were thinking. Success can make or break a person. So glad Cass and Denny jumped ship to do their own thing.

Love this clip!! Believe it's from their appearance on Dick Clark's weekday show Where the Action Is - Groovy :D

[@jdawg1371]

We were wondering from which program it was. Coworker said "Hula Balu"

[@jdawg1371]

That was his guess anyway. Ever find out for sure?

@@jdawg1371 Lol!

[@Modguy61]

@@jdawg1371 I'm still certain it's from Where the Action Is. At least 99.9% :-)

Right On! Can you imagine how much "Bank" Dick Clark's Estate gets since so many of these Clips either came from Where The Action Is, American Bandstand, and The Dick Clark Saturday Night Beechnut Show that he did in 1959.

The Lady who is Dancing behind them was a Dancer on The Show as well as a Lady who is standing above them. Ironically The Beach Boys did "Their" Version of "California Dreaming" with John Phillips (RIP), and either Denny Doherty or Spanky McFarlane of "Our Gang" In 1983 just Three Days after Xmas Dennis Wilson died at the Santa Monica Pier in a drug and alcohol related accident. Ironically his Grandson Dennis named for him was born on December 28th.

It's like one day they woke up, did LSD and said let's start a group. Everyone but Michelle looked like they truly enjoyed singing.

[@FirstoneLastone]

my first thought too...

[@connorbliss8669]

Who where those 2 guys in the clip at the beginning of the video and what was the cut off part at the end of the video?
