    I love seeing Cass being treated nicely and respectfully, instead of on a variety comedy show where she is made to be the center of every day joke. Her voice was amazing and she was lovely singing with John.

      I feel the same way. I hope Carol Burnett and Red Skelton and all the others realize how messed up (and not funny) that was.
      Cass was amazing and we all have lost out because of how much she was shortchanged and dehumanized. She did, too.
      Beautiful harmony from her, as usual! She is delightful.

    seeing how good John Davidson treated Cass makes me happy. He's one of the best looking guys of this the 70s, and he treated her so much more respectfully than others. John Denver also seemed to be very fond of Cass for her amazing voice. She had to be one of the wittiest ladies of her time also.

      Cass was one of the greatest - If only she lived to sing a James Bond song. Is that too much to ask for? Shirley Bassey (Goldfinger) is 4 years older now than Cass would have been, and she's still going strong - as good as ever in fact.

      If you're talking about Creeque Alley, you don't know the whole story.
      The line about her. "getting fat" was not just about weight; it was mostly referring to the fact that before the group formed and got famous, Cass was the only one actually beginning a career and "getting fat" from the money she was making in music.
      Cass was the one who approved the line in the song.

      Actually, a lot of live tv performances during this time were lip synced, because the equipment required to broadcast a live music performance was expensive and complicated. There is actually a clip of the Mamas and Papas performing on the Ed Sullivan show, where Michelle was eating and talking to John during the performance in protest of the producers making them lip sync! Meanwhile, Mama Cass was singing so powerfully that the audience can hear her vocals over the prerecorded track. I am not at all doubting the pure talent of these artists, just a fun fact!

    John was and is still amazing. You can clearly see the respect and admiration John had for Cass. He didn't make any distasteful jokes at her expense unlike many other variety shows did when she was a guest. Johnny Carson treated her very respectfully too. Her weight was never a punchline on his show and you could tell he loved speaking with her and listening to her perform on his show.
