In my opinion, Cass Elliot had (has) one of the greatest voices in rock history , I just wonder how lucky we could have been if she had been with us longer🙏
I 100% agree!
If Cass had lived, she'd be considered one of the greatest stars in the world by now. I'm talking Oprah level influence. Her talent, her wisdom and vast collection of friendships would have led her to movies, television, you name it. Can you imagine her talk shows?
Una voz maravillosa ciertamente. Lastima que haya partido de este mundo tan joven.
It DOES speak volumes about the huge impact she had on music, and the world in general, during her very short time on this earth. What an enormous loss. We can only imagine where her talent would have taken her.
I concur with your opinion. Her voice is absolutely incredible. Her beautiful energy is just a great plus to her talents.
Without Cass Elliot, the Mamas & The Papas would not have made it big. Her voice, which is one of best voices in music history, put them on the map. Just telling the truth.
True. She anchors the group.
I agree, but I still wanna credit the band, too, in the way that none of them would have been as big as they were without being together. They were a perfect band
I haven’t the slightest idea what Michelle and John’s voices sound like by themselves, but I know Cass’ and Denny’s voices!
@@kittykatz4001Michelle starts off singing by herself on the song 'Dedicated to the One I Love'.
I believe that without Cass Elliot that group would not have happened. Her's is the voice everyone recalls when the Mamas And Papas are mentioned. She indeed was that good. RIP Cass.
Denny sang lead on the vast majority of the monster hits. Monday Monday, their biggest hit was practically on Denny solo. That said Cass was my favorite too
@@timdufelmeier1350 must dissagree - apart from Monday Monday - its Case Elliot voice that was the mps - both really complimented each others vocals so wonderfully - but its Mumma Case that has it
Beautiful lady still is 💐 loved her tasty kakes and lived life to the fullest 💛💝 gone but never forgotten 😇 lovely woman🌏
Cass Elliott was indeed the heart and soul.
They would have never booked all these TV gigs without gorgeous Michelle Phillips. Mama Cass Lipsitz was an eye sore.
Mama Cass is absolutely amazing. Her famous dance was so popular it was called the Cass shuffle.
She only shuffled out of necessity. She had so much fat stored in her legs that her leg muscles were unable to lift her feet off the ground! In short, she was a grotesque revolting woman. Her voice is only to be heard, but her face and body is never -- never -- to be seen. The producers should have just dubbed her voice over Michelle Phillips' body and face. All problems solved!
@@118Columbus Seek therapy.
@@118Columbus that is quite disgusting that you would write this.
@@118Columbus dayum and it says here that you edited your comment. The only thing grotesque here is your comment sir. Why don't you edit some more positive words...
@@118Columbus you are clearly limited in your thinking
What a great voice Mama Cass had, a real talent !
Yes I would agree but there was something special when Michelle and Cass harmonized, two sounded like six... hard for me to explain.
Yep. She was always such a class act. I've always loved her
She sure did.......like a canary
So true. As they say, "only the good die young".
She sure did like a canary
Cass owned that stage; so confident and her voice was stunning.
If cass owned the stage why is michelle still alive and cass is dead for
@@larryvermeer6170 irrelevant
@@larryvermeer6170 strange response
@@karendeaton9297 good morning my friend karen i don't understand what you are saying here too
Cass owned that stage so confident and her was stunning .
I was 6 yrs old when Mama Cass died. I’m 55 now. I wish she were alive today to tell her that she still has young fans in 2023. Her voice was spectacular
I discovered the mamas and papas recently due to loving the sound of California dreaming and now I’m absolutely obsessed with them and Cass Elliot’s albums. I actually broke down today knowing I can’t never meet her and tell her how much I love her and how much confidence she gave me as a big girl myself. Btw I’m 20 and I wish I could tell her that people are still falling in love with her and her beautiful smile today in 2024❤❤❤❤ we love you Cass Elliot ❤️
I became obsessed in the past year, I'm 22 and I absolutely adore Mama Cass
I am now 58 still love her and make my kids listen to her all the time. Also liked her on HR Puffenstuff
I love the little “signature” dance Ms. Mama Cass does in her go-go boots. The confidence she had. Though Michelle is pretty and all, and. Cass was always my favorite.
Looks mean nothing. It's all about the heart. Momma Cass had heart- RIP ♥️.
A person's beauty often fades, but the heart never changes.
@@selah7779 "looks mean nothing". Thats what ugly people usually say 😃
That's some swanky dance moves there. You can tell she knew how to have fun.
I totally agree with you! We all know Cass was always the Star. She was always so positive and beautiful and her voice was like a angel
@@Tkimba2 You sound VERY popular and universally loved in your vast circle of friends and admirers.
Happy 82nd birthday, Cass. You left us far far too soon. But I thank you for the lovely music that remains. You were absolutely one of a kind.
RIP - Cass, Denny, John.
Michelle - keep on keepin' on
@@MrMrMrMrMerle woo great!
Yeah she's the only one left......just like Barry Gibb
@@garycarpenter2980 Just like the Four Tops, Temptations, Force MD's and the Spinners
Mama Cass sang like an angel and now she is..RIP DEAR LADY
Ya murieron los tres, solo la más chica vive?
cass elliot is captivating, i would have loved to be her friend🤧
You have all reason!
Yes!
She brings that out in a lot of people... I feel the same
And what a powerhouse of a voice.
Indeed
One of the most powerful greatest female voices of all time.
For sure, she can't be replicated, a devastating voice. It says a lot that Denny was able to sing with her. Cass, an all time great!
She and Denny were remarkable together. Magical, really...
Cass & Karen Carpenter were the very best....
the strength of her voice seems effortless
I really love when Cass spins her mike around when she’s dancing!!
For a heavier lady, which I'm one myself, I'm impressed with how light and graceful Cass is doing her dance.
Right? Probably while pregnant here.
She was superb dancer btw.
Many large people move well & are light on their feet - a very big woman friend I used to know was a doppleganger to Cass and also a graceful ice skater...
if she lived through the 80s she'd had beaten michael jackson when it came to moonwalking..
It felt like the audience was sort of laughing at Cass at first as if she was some sort of joke, and then she opened her mouth and everybody shut the hell up. No one could ever deny her raw talent and charisma. Denny was also a brilliant singer, but he was awkward on stage and Cass was fearless. Of course John brought the musical genius and Michelle, was there.
You nailed it mostly lol, Cass had amazing voice and easily tue best dancing/rhythm, as you said dennys great but stiff, Johns got the music but id argue Michelle Served uer purpose she provided a lighter airy soprano vocal on a few songs notably "Dedicated to the one i love" and did the 2nd most aong writing behind john notably "California Dreamin'" she was also adored by many people and fans so i wouldnt discredit her that much
Here they were.Charming team all shapes and sizes.A together thing.John was a fine arranger Denny a crystal clear singing canary,Michelle a sexy sunny feathery balancing soprano with the looks of a charming model and Cass had pipes and was vibrant, "large as life and twice as nice" I Got all their discography and love them.
Cass was already established as a singer before joining the group.
In the song Creeque Alley, the line "no one's getting fat except Mama Cass" was a double reference to her size, and the fact she was the only one making any money in music before The Mamas and The Papas were formed.
Like Susan Boyle's, AMGT' first performance
One of the best folk groups in the history of rock and roll
yes.
They were awesome! But I believe the correct term is "folk rock" 🙂
@@johnlargan6045 I said it generally, they are folk pop, folk rock
did you not say this on another post? just wondering.
Yeah they had s/thing special, not pure folk definitely not rock & roll, a bit flower power, I'm not sure about the time line but they seem to me to be one of the Vanguard for the Woodstock era, what's your take?
@@johnzuijdveld9585 Rock and roll was a music scene from the 50s to the mid 60s oriented to dance based on r&b countrry blues etc. then bob dylan and the beatles appeared and changed to rock, and folk groups like the byrds or the mamas and the papas changed their sound and the lifestyle, sex, drugs and rock and roll were born
Few could belt out a song like Mama Cass!
Especially live!!
They sang this on December 11, 1966 - I was a 17 year old teenager and I loved the Mamas & the papas.
Everyone is obsessed with Cass but Denny had a really phenomenal voice. The harmonies were the best thing about the group.
Came here to say this. His first solo verses in California Dreamin give me chills to this day, every time.
You’re right. He’s often overlooked.
They were all phenomenal!
So glad it happened!
i was a big fan back in the day, too bad they couldn't reproduce the harmonies live. Cass and Denny had the voices, otherwise they were a nice studio creation with a limited shelf-life.
Yes, but Cass’s voice…..just phenomenal. But you are right, the harmonies are amazing.
Mama Case and Denny are the Mama's and The Papa's..
John and Michelle were along for the ride!
Jhon wrote at least a lot of songs of this group and Michelle is pretty
100% agree!
I think they are all dead now?! Very sad! Best Geordie rock band ever!
They are singing live kids! All that experience performing in pubs and clubs!
@@Irvin_GonzalezMichelle is pretty? Are you blind? lol
Cass Elliot was a beautiful girl and a great singer.
When John Philippes introduces cass Elliott, you can hear the discontent in his tone. Say or think whatever people choose to think about cass Elliot, she was a force of nature, she was a great lovely lady and well composed. Legends never die.
I picked up on that, and I momentarily saw daggers in her eyes.
Yes I agree and what's with calling her a little magic mushroom? Magic she was but by no means a mushroom.
Yes, he sounds quite scornful whilst pretending to be lighthearted. Cass knew he resented her and he didn’t want her in the band because she was fat. Poor Cass. Luckily for us he was outvoted by the other two.
@@lilbopeep6457 he didn’t say little
Certainly jealously of her far greater musical talent (not to mention her being a superior human being in every other way).
How can you not like Mama Cass? No lip syncing here. Love it.
Hate to spoil it but they are lip syncing
@@oaktree1290 No they`re not. This is a live version. It`s completely different than the record. They might have pre recorded backup vocals, but Mama Cass is singing live. She was one of the worlds best singers. She didn`t need any lip syncing. That`s for weak singers.
@@oaktree1290 I don't think so. She made a small mistake at the beginning that wouldn't be there in a recording.
@@pcbassoon3892 cool
@@pcbassoon3892 . You're right. But the video of them singing: California Dreaming they were lip syncing. When Michelle Phillips was eating a banana. The music started and the guitar player wasn't even playing the guitar yet.
Wow. So good to see them singing LIVE (not lyṗsynching) and Cass having a ball! Swing that mic sister, swing it!
Mayor OS oblidare?
"Words Of Love" was one of Cass's finest lead vocals with the group.
SING it CASS!!!!!!!! Holy one of the MOST absolute beautiful voices hands down forever
I love Cass Elliot. Her voice is clean and melodic. She sang live and belted it out! The go go boots shuffle always tickled my heart. See you in heaven!
Yeah wasn’t sure if it was live, but then she moved slightly away from the mic. Damn impressive live vocal
Except she chose to go to Hell because she heard they serve deviled ham there!
@@danielboyd4079 yup she sang live to a backing track. She nailed it. Timbre and range
Her voice beaconed to the heart like a trumpet 🎺 & the she spoke of was not a physical destination, but a destination within the heart mind soul and spirit of us all & that is love In it’s purest simplest and absolutely most powerful state . It’s a place we must all attain to if we are to cross that gap between particle and wave , between physical form energy comprised of particles molecules atoms and everything else that exists as matter & pure waveform energy that has not particles , molecules or any other form of physical matter but is rather pure energy ( spirit) and the only way to make that transition is through by and in the power of love that transcends all knowledge, all understanding and all wisdom.
I dare to say that John Phillips' joke about "mushroom" is at least unpolite with his bandmate. Mama Cass' uncomfortable expression is so evident. She had a beautiful, steady, strong voice, heaps of talent...
He was a bully to her 😩😩
@@allaboutbeebo4092He was not a nice guy in any way. Arrogant and disrespectful. She deserved so much better.
He was always demeaning towards her, but was smart enough to know that she vital to their succes.
In the end she had enough.
Horrible
So was the audience.
Cass Elliot we love you in 2024 and more years to come❤️ I’m 20 but I know for a fact you have many other young fans such as myself. People today are still falling in love with you❤️
Mama Cass had a beautiful voice. Such talent and charisma. She was the life of the group.
In a better world Cass and Denny would have been a great duo deep into the 70's , big voices
Just imagine if Michelle hadn't affairs
She's probably the most underrate female vocalist of all time. Her talent was off the chart her voice was beautiful, power, range and great timbre. The most amazing thing about her is that she was sexy in spite of her weight, very rare.
I wouldn't call her underrated. There have been books, specials, commemorative albums, you name it, all about Mama Cass.
Yeah ... that timbre, takes your breath away.
Most underrated female voice all time, I don't think so really. Maybe with the passage of time, a number of people today don't know about her, I don't think that was the case back then. And there have been a lot of great female vocalists. Aretha Franklin. Diana Ross. Sandy Denny. Annie Haslam. Ann Wilson. Patsy Cline. Karen Carpenter. And a number of others I'm not remembering right now.
"sexy in spite of her weight, very rare" - She just had CONFIDENCE in herself *despite* her weight and what others perception might have been of it. THAT is what is rare.
Mama Cass, semblait bien dans son corps. Mais n' avait pas honte d' affichers ses rondeurs.
What a voice. Holy shit.....
Absolutely love how gritty Mama Cass's voice gets when she sings "you outta know by now" ❤
Mama Cass was an absolute angel!! Her voice could make anyone melt!
This is the first time I've seen this video without it being taped as a second track of her singing with it. I don't know how to say it. She had it. Such a beautiful spirit, and voice.
Their confidence and presence is really amazing. The way that they switch positions when the song begins and how each has a flourish. And Mama Cass swinging the mic, getting a reaction from the audience. These guys were in their element and thriving.
What an absolute powerhouse vocal. Only Cass could sing this!
Ellen Naomi Cohen …what to say about this fabulous person with the voice of an angel. She fronted this amazing quartet, and the other three knew that Mama Cass was the driving force. Together they made a sound that can still find fans once they hear their beautiful songs.
Cass Elliot would have turned 80 this year, born on 19 September 1941. Cass died far too young in 1974. However her incredible voice lives on for us. Forever.
RIP Mama Cass. Your fans still love, adore and hold you in the highest esteem. ♥️
My Goodness!!!! Cass is my very favorite female singer. She had power, coolness and the most beautiful voice. Harsh, sweet, no matter how she sang, she always nailed it. Beautiful woman.
They are LIVE here...no lip synch
Are you sure? The California Dreaming version of the same gig isn't?
I'm not knocking their talent by saying this btw, just don't want folk mislead
EDIT: I don't know the original of this so I'm none the wiser also
@@chickenbonenowison I am sure at least Cass is singing live, its not exactly like either version of this song. Even when she lets the mic get away a bit the sound decreases. I think its live
@@tuneaddicted it might have been recorded live there and played back during the filming? Not sure. Not knocking the performance mind, it's good
The singing was live and the music was recorded.
I doubt it. In the day all variety/ tonight shows and even Bandstand was strictly mimed, why I don't know but I suspect it may have had to do with costs for performances -live v mimed. As the shows then were always live they would not chance a stuff-up by the band or artists, it was the only way to make sure a live show was aired perfectly.
In their E S Show performance of "Creeque Alley" Cass actually shocks the group by saying "cue the tape" at the beginning of their performance, this was taboo as it was meant to be a sacred secret that all live shows like this were mimed.
Mama Cass you were fabulous
I love Mama Cass all she wanted was someone to love her. I know how she feels. Hard to find someone to care without judging your weight. This beautiful woman was a jewel to this group. Wish we had her longer.
Well, who likes fat? Fat is what ruins our looks. Tell me about it
I love mama Cass and her little dance she was AMAZING
Great band, singer. Ed Sullivan was the man, he let all types of bands on his show. No bias either.
Ed Sullivan was no fool.He knew that the World was changing and He put it on Sunday night TV.
Plenty of bias. Hated the doors. Loved the Dave Clark five. Who were always more popular in the south and Midwest than those pesky beatles
He knew where the money was.
It was in TALENT and NOT COLOR.
Mama Cass was the voice of the group
@@eleanorforest9652 Ed knew that music was changing and he knew his audience was changing. He had issues with Buddy Holly but allowed Elvis to perform and he loved the Beatles. Let's face it, Ed had the #1 variety show and if you wanted the exposure you had to play by Ed's rules.
Mama certainly was one of our great voices in popular music
From the first note she sang to the last my whole body was covered in goosebumps. What a voice!
Best group of the 60's.
and 3 dog nights
Excuse me??? Uh, that would be the Fab Four of course.
Not only was Mama Cass so talented with her singing but also with her feet.
Love the easy power in Mama Cass' voice.
Was raised on this era of music. Best harmonies in the world ❤️ mama cass is a legend.
As much as I love Mama Cass singing, it is her dance moves that bring me back to these videos!
Amazing how being so heavy she was so light on her feet.
That’s the low key pony shuffle. Her moves here surprised those seeing her for the first time on TV. She not only could sing she had moves and star quality. The band dynamic was weird cuz of Papa John’s ego. Must have burned him hearing that audience react to her little dance
*mashed potato shuffle
She is the ultimate of cool!!!!!
Mama Cass and the backup singers.
😅😅😂🤣😅
So nice to see no lip syncing, shes really singing.
I don't think so, every other song they sang at that performance of Sullivan was lip synced. Michelle even at a banana during one song, as a protest against the lip syncing.
It's very strange but this one doesn't sound like a lip sync.
What a beautiful voice Mama Cass had and this music is purely heavenly. Now if we can only have people sing like this in 2021 the world would be a better place, just think not one curse word or rude political act to bash any one .
The fabulous Cass Elliot! She's so light on her feet; love the little dance steps she does in so many of their songs. 🙂
What a voice and personality!!!!
I watched a video on Cass' life and she had a heart full of Love. And fought to lose her excess pounds. What a shame she died so young.
Wow Cass had such vocal pipes!THat's live?!Wonderful.
Mama Cass is fantastic! Pure talent.
Tear listening to this R I P Mama Cass Elliott 1941-1974 🥺💐🥁🎶🎵🎸🎼
What a beautiful woman and voice, love you mama Cass RIP angel 🙏
So much talent. The were true hippies of the '60's and should have been around for a long time but their star burned bright, but only for a short time.
Man I loved this women so much talent jesus she left us so young.
She’s the one that passed away? My goodness, rest in peace-but she CARRIED this whole song...one of my favorites from the band for sure! What a talent!
Michelle is now the only surviving member x
she died in 1974...the tall speaking one died in 2001, the other guy died in 2007...The skinny lady is the only one alive today
Yeah she was choking down a ham sandwich in bed and she took a big bite and then 💀 guess she forgot to bring her drink to bed with her.
Good God, what a voice!
What a gorgeous voice she had!❤
It is great to hear them live. Too many clips online have had the audio replaced.
Mama Cass had some pipes in her. And great footwork too.
Absolutely!
Gives me chills and tears. She was magic when she sang.
I think mama cass made the mama and papas sucess with out this special talented fantastic singer i dont think they would have got the fame without her r.i p mama cass xx❤
Superb vocals by Mama Cassi!!
I love it when Mama Cass just belts it out!
Best vocal group of the 60s
Michael i agree with you ,, they were the Best ever ,, with harmonies to die for , i wish mt twin sister and i could have joined them in the 60s we would have blended in rather nicely lol x
There will never be another voice as distinct and alluring as Mama Cass. Oh we loved her. I will not forget her. RIP ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Looooooved their music
Watta voice Mama Cass!!
Us baby boomers really didn't know how good we had it. They were so great 👍
That's a great song because it is so insightful, sly and heartbreaking. And it was performed live, as you can tell when cass moves the microphone away for a moment and we miss a word of the song.
Cass was the reason I even listened to their music... that being said they still hold one of the best memories from my Mother's collections 😉
Great voice ❤
Luv the sound of Cass's voice. Beautiful echo.
What phenomenal voice. One of the best ever in rock/pop, and one that was take from us too soon.
Absolute Mama Cass magnificence! She takes me to places I've never been before 💘
mama cass amazing voice ever
An absolute perfect supreme masterpiece of euphony!!!!!
The high-pitched "No" from Michele was also on the record only once. Here Cass looks back as if the expected a second one? Don't know, in fact, I always thought the record could have used another one too. I am probably missing the significance of omitting it.
Looks like Michelle was day dreaming, and Cass was looking over. Definitely looks Like Mama Cass expected something in that pause.
@@buckjohnson1119 Michelle was the kind of girl who could get away with daydreaming. Cass had to "sing for her supper".
I accidentally discovered this song today April 11 2024 I’m 50yrs old, by taking a chance, I never heard this song before. This song is beautiful. The piano I can imagine, Doors pianist, Ray Manzarak, playing the piano, I think this song could have came out just as beautifully sung by Jim Morrison. But Momma Cass knocks it out of the park!❤
damn.. I get the chills when she sings live
I was a little boy when theis song came out and I remember how much my mom and my aunt loved Cass. What a voice!
Knots Landing in young 💙💙💙💙💙. California dreaming on such a winters day 💙💙💙💙💙
Mama Cass Elliott's magical voice on this song gives me happy little goosebumps!
Every time I hear her sing and see these great videos, I cry to know she was taken away from us too soon. Mama Cass you were the best. What a talent....the whole band for that matter
I broke down today knowing I couldn’t ever tell her how much I loved her. It felt like true grieving, that’s how much of an impact she made on me. ❤️❤️ We love you Cass Elliot
Love mammas dress voice hair. She makes the group
Lovely Mama Cass. I love her. Beautiful little doll Michelle. I love her too.
her little dances, such melodic and enchanting voice... what a beautiful woman all in all 💖💖
Amazing Voice, Mama Cass definitely hit it !☮️
I miss her so 💔
This is, Life in the Past Lane
It's one of those days when a song, today it was this song , will come into my mind and I go reeling back to when it was released. I see faces I see places which cause me to cry a little bit. I have those days I am who I am there is so much about the past that I miss and so much uncertainty when I look forward. It has been very difficult for me to live in the present lately thanks for getting me through it all
God mama Cass was amazing❤️
Merveilleux groupe - Gentille Cass et talentueuse !! elle rayonnait.
