I am so happy I looked into Cass Elliot after learning about her in a celebrity ghost story! She was taken from this world way too soon! As a bigger girl myself who also likes to sing and perform it saddens me how cruel this world really is and all the fat shaming she had to endure. Honestly I think she is a beautiful and amazing woman and a great inspiration! I had no idea she sung all these songs and now I can treasure and honour her memory. R.i.P. Mama Cass
First step you have to follow is to LOVE yourself. Respect and value yourself just as you are, if you don’t do this, nobody will. Second, there will always be people for everything, sadly you may have some cruel ones around you, and what you must do is to IGNORE them. Let them speak, ‘cuz they’ve got a snout to bark after all. And third, don’t forget there are still people who admire artists by their talent and not by their physical, we might be just a few, but we do exist😉 go ahead and have courage to face the world little by little. ✌🏼🕊
I had the good fortune of seeing Cass Elliot sing when I was about 10 years old in 1973. Even though I was only 10, she found a place in my heart and has been there ever since. Whenever I see a video of her or listen to her sing, all I see is and think is her bigger than life presence, not her actual size. My wife and I have been married almost 35 years. (Her and I both weigh about 230lbs). Even though I love her dearly - and she knows that - she also knows that Cass has a special place in my heart as does Patsy Cline. I would like to hear you sing. Do you have any videos on UA-cam. Don't worry, I am not a creep, pervert, or weirdo, just a fellow Cass Elliot fan. My wife does think I am a weirdo, however. :)
She was a hard partying chick, I think people think it's so sweet that she wasnt afraid of her weight and got up there and did what the thin people were doing but she was simply a wild rock chick who just happened to be heavy, sort of like she was trapped inside a body that didnt fit her personality and lifestyle... it's her voice we hear in California Dreaming, it makes the song. Chronic and drastic dieting is what killed her, such a shame, she probably had some kind of imbalance that made her keep the weight on.
@@joejones9520 I agree with everything you say except for she was trapped in a body and lifestyle that didn't fit her body LOL are you kidding me since the beginning of time there were people who are overweight or heavy so just because somebody is overweight or heavy that means that they won't party use drugs have sex or do whatever makes them happy at the time okay close minded are we 🤔🤔🤔
Mama Cass is a better dancer and so light on her feet! She makes it look so smooth and easy. For some reason I stumbled on Mama Cass today and knew some of her music without knowing she sang it or her story. Down the rabbit hole and I am stunned by her voice and what she achieved in her short life. I now know why California Dreaming has always been one of my favourite songs. Her voice makes it into that strange eerie, nostalgic sound that made it a #1 hit. I hope she knows that 50 years later she still is able to get new fans! 🥀 RIP Mama Cass Elliot 🥀
Most ppl. were so much more conservative in not wanting to attract too much attention to themselves. I know my sister (I doted on all my 3 elder sisters) stifled my youthful exuberance for-ever when she derided them as "exhibitionistic show-offs" 🤐 . . 😯 Never again w'ld I dare seek to expose myself . . .😧
"Those were the days my friend" when we/they sang of love and peace, when most ppl. actually were more kind to each other. . . . and then there's the media which were not kind ever! So sad it ended all too soon.
Hi! I randomly find UA-cam comments 5 years or older and comment on them to see if I get a reply. If you don't reply I will assume you are dead by now.
I'm 17 years old and I have no words to describe how much I love The Mamas and The Popes. They were amazing in all of their songs, great people ... I was inspired by them and other fantastic bands to write songs and live my life ... the 60s were incredible I wish I was born very much at that time (Mama Cass dancing, Your feet seem to have a life of their own!)
I don't want to burst you bubble, but... wait in fact I want to, so here. John Phillips has likely given drugs to (at least) one of his daughters since she was 12 and then used her intoxicated state when she was older to take her virginity on her wedding's eve cause he didn't approve of the marriage. Or so the daughter says.
Marcelo, just because you listen to dipshit Gangsta Rap from Today does not mean you have to like older music, now get out. (I know you never said taht you disliked older music but age is important here!
Cass is unique and wonderful, but she was helped by Denny's accompaniments and more so by John's arrangements and songs. I just wish the M&P could have made 20 albums. I feel sorry for Michele who was mainly a face and a body. I don't who was more abused Cass or Michele.
@@samatoid people don’t give Michele enough credit. Most of the time, since she had more of a soft voice, she was overpowered by other singers. If you listen to more of her solo music, she’s quite lovely, and she’s definitely more than just an attractive woman.
Mama Cass was amazing. I've always loved her voice but man, she could move! She always struck me as having so much fun. It's a pity that so many people compared her to the other girl, Michelle Phillips, just on looks. She was literally nothing compared to Cass Elliot. It's nice that Cass is being remembered for her music and awesome talent now.
Yess mama Cass was amazing and the soul of the group but IMHO Michelle's vocal may not as strong as Cass's but her soprano was an important component in their song. Dont underestimate her vocal just because she has the "beauty". Remember she also noted as one of the most pure soprano voice of all time. Each four of them complete each other perfectly ❤️
They had such WONDERFUL HARMONY! I had the album where they were all in an old time bathtub together; can't remember the name. I think it may have been a compilation of their greatest hits. They'll never be another supergroup like them.
Mama Cass had music in every inch of her soul. Those feet are just amazing. I can only imagine how awesome it would be to be around her. What a legend. A Portuguese fan here. You got this far, Mama Cass. 48 years and here you are!
Happy 77th Birthday Holly Michelle Gilliam AKA Michelle Phillips June 4, 1944 Long Beach. You are not only a hippie rock icon. But also an actress, songwriter and accomplished model. Thank goodness for 60's / early 70's music and culture which you were a big part of.
I’m 11 and aspire to be a singer, I look up to Michelle and Mama Cass! Michelle’s voice is so mesmerising and sweet while Cass’s is so powerful and holds strength. It breaks my heart knowing that Michelle Philips is the only member who hasn’t left this godforsaken world. Rip :(
A lot of people back in the day couldn't get over the way Cass Elliot looked. She was criticized about her weight. A lot of jokes poked fun of her. She died from a heart attack at the age of 32 in 1974.
I know this sounds like I'm from the 60z🙄, but I WISH music was STILL like this, like it WAS when I was IN the 60z, now BEING in my 60z😎😄😙😍🎼🎵🎶🎸🎤 HOW IRONIC!!😉😉😆😂🤣
I love how mama Cass is a dance power house and everyone else is like bearly moveing😂
Hahahaha yeah 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄💗
So she is moving like a bear? 🤣
@@Benjorunner 🦊🦔🦜🐻
@@Benjorunner an awesome bear. RIP mama
Cass could really dance and only a dancer would know that. Everyone that can't see only sees her size.
Case Elliot was beyond her time! She had the voice and moves. I watch her the whole time 💕
So true, Angela!
:-))

I love the way Cass moves her feet when she dances :)
Yes! Awesome!
She certainly had the rhythm inside her!
Weird, i hate it
I always thought for as big as she was, she looked so light on her feet.. as if they're not quite touching ground.
She feels the music unlike Michelle who hardly moves all.
mama Cass is a doll and her moves are a treat. Bless her heart and RIP
She was Awesome!
Love hearing a woman called a doll lol my mother called me doll and so does my best friends who go back 50 years 🌹

Mama Cass made white go-go boots popular. They were quite slippery and she made all kinds of cool moves with them. Go Mama C!
Mama Cass is a power house! She had such beautiful talent!
Because she's house sized ?
She doesn't want to be called mama cass
Cass' movements look like a modified mashed potatos! Love it!
Yes Cass is Awesome Beautiful and talented
so FAT
OMG the Hollywood palace!! I remember my parents used to watch this , im so glad i grew up with this beautiful music being a 1965 babygirl

She hated being called Mama Cass. She wanted to be just Cass Elliott.
@@scz1770 good to know. I didn’t really look at much after her earlier years with the band. Maybe I’ll go back and go at that some day. Thx
That footwork....all the while belting it out with ease. A true performer
Great dancing, and great voice, but probably lip syncing here.
Cass's voice and timing really shine on this one.
Mama Cass proving she is the only one that can dance in the group
Sad but true, the only one that really dared at least.
Most ppl. were so much more conservative in not wanting to attract too much attention to themselves.

@@johnzuijdveld9585: no, lesson learned about exposing oneself
Her foot action is fire. ♥️🙏🌈
She grooves like a feather on her feet.
This music sends my heart to simple times. Most kids nowadays will miss the beauty of the 60's and 70's...
I agree
"Those were the days my friend" when we/they sang of love and peace, when most ppl. actually were more kind to each other. . . . and then there's the media which were not kind ever! So sad it ended all too soon.
2020 and still obsessed. Mama Cass forever
If Mamma Cass was not in this group the whole world would never know who The Mamas & Papa's were. But I can say that everyone would know Mama Cass.
Such a powerful voice and she floats when she dances. Mama Cass you are amazing.
What charisma and voice Mrs.Cass.
I just wish I could hang out with Mama Cass for a day. She seems like fun 😂
i wish i could hang out with michelle phillips for one night she would not be abel to move like this
You better like pot.
I know right
she loved to get high....
@@melvinmoore3949 and what's wrong with that?
Cass Elliot had the strongest voice of her decade - instantly recognizable!
Her voice was and self confidence is Amazing 💕💕
They kept me awake with their Great Music while driving from Phoenix to LA when I attended USC in the 60’s.
I still listen to their Great Music.
Still sounds fresh as ever. Absolutely love it :)

I am so loving Cass' footwork and her vocals! She is the only one that looks alive.
She's livin it!
I love Mama Cass's white go go boots and that dance she does! I had two pairs of go go boots, white and black
True!! Michelle seems like the overweight here, Cass moves as this song asks, it seems that her feet float
Fantastic even after all these years

Michelle is the only one still alive. Sad.
I think more people remember Cass more then Michelle.
But their voices went together so well! To me, they were the Mamas and the Papas, in that order, but Cass was number one.
Yess mama Cass was amazing and the soul of the group but IMHO Michelle's vocal may not as strong as Cass's but her soprano was an important component in their song.

Missing those times we never had the pleasure to actually experience.
Those cute little white boots and how they dance. Love it 😊
Mama Cass was the bomb. She is for sure loved and missed.
This song is 55 years old - I just can't believe it. Mama cass has such presence.
