    The song is about a relationship that died on a Monday. The singer was with his love in the morning and everything seemed right with the world. By the evening, she was gone.
    This is a breakup song. Everything may seem perfect but life shows that it has other plans.

    History: Mama Cass tried out for the group but couldn't hit all the notes and was rejected so she went home. Months after that she suffered a serious head injury and when she recovered, her voice had completely changed so she went back to see the group and they invited her to join them.

    J/A, love the Mama’s and Papa’s. Amber, I have a great suggestion for you for female Friday kinda referencing this group. The group to react to is Wilson Phillips, because it’s a combination of the children from this group and The Beach Boys. The lead singer is Chynna Phillips (daughter of Michelle Phillips/Mama and Papas) with the other two singers being the daughters of Brian Wilson from Beach Boys. The songs called Hold On and it’s beautifully sung by the girls. By the way Chynna looks so much like her mother. PLEASE, PLEASE react to this on Friday. Thanks again y’all.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    As an old hippie it makes me so glad to see younger people discover the idols of my youth. They were one of my favorite bands and I always bought their records when they came out. A new album coming out in those days was a major event. Cass had one of the most incredible voices in music at that time and is still considered one of the best. She was also a pivotal social figure back then and brought together many artists at her home in Laurel Canyon. So glad you guys liked this. ❤️

I could be wrong and I should Google it, but I think Michelle is the only surviving member.. her daughter Chynna used to be in a group called Wilson Phillips and she has a youtube channel now called California Preachin (Chynna has long been a Christian and she likes to spread the word). Chynna's father was John Phillips and I'm not going to go into his history.. ya'll can look that up for yourself. Not sure which Cass Elliott song you heard but try "Dream a Little Dream of Me". I was born in 1959, so I remember this music well and that song reminds me of my mom, for some reason. It's a good song. Hope you are enjoying the baby. Take care.

    The song you're thinking about is "I Saw Her Again". John wrote it when he found out Michelle, who was his wife at the time, was having an affair with Denny. That was his revenge, making them sing it again and again. They couldn't refuse because it was such a good song. Harmonically it's the most complex thing they ever did. It's their greatest song, I think.

    The lead singer, Denny Doherty, had the typical "beatnik" look of the late 50s and early 60s with the goatee and the Caesar haircut. Michelle Phillips was the free spirit of the group, Cass Elliot was the major talent (in my opinion) but the leader of the group was John Phillips. As a matter of fact he was one of the main organizers of the Monterrey Pop Festival which featured Janis and was the reason Cass was in the audience in the video you watched. The festival held in June 1967 was the beginning of "The Summer Of Love" and the beginning of the "hippie" era of the late 60s. Without Monterey Pop, there would have been no "Woodstock" I believe. Songs: "I Saw Her Again Last Night", "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming To The Canyon)", "Creeque Alley" (a biographical song about the forming of the group), "Dedicated To The One I Love" (talk about harmonizing, this is it! It also features Michelle as lead singer), and "I Call Your Name".

    • @loadedorygun
