Jamel, Cass being a member of the Mamas & the Papas reminds me of a song from early 80’s by singer of another group, ABBA. Frida had a solo album come out just after ABBA broke up and the single from it that hit #13 (and was produced by Phil Collins (who played drums on it)...I Know There Is Something Going On. I’d LOVE to see you reaction! ua-cam.com/video/p98PjtSfNWo/v-deo.html
Cass Elliot was a stunning singer taken far far too young ..... you need to react to Make Your Own Kind of Music, It’s Getting Better and Move In a Little Closer ..... stunning tracks that show off her voice beautifully ......
Cass Elliot was a fantastic talent!!! There would have never been The Mama’s and Papa’s without HER!!!!! Listen to her singing Leaving on a Jet Plane, by John Denver. They actually do a duet of that song, (which you can see here on UA-cam) and they are fantastic together. They both have those effortless singing voices. It just comes so naturally to them. Like I said above, effortless, with ease, so natural. They make it look so easy. Cass Elliot was an incredible talent. You either have it, or you don’t, and SHE, my friends, SHE HAD IT in spades. One of my ALL TIME favorites!!!!! ❤️
True Story: In 1989 I went on a camping trip with over 50 people, most of whom I didn't know. One night around a campfire people were drinking and someone had a guitar. He was playing old songs that hardly anyone knew. He played this one and I sang along, and heard a guy singing as well. I looked over, our eyes met, and we've been together ever since. How prophetic Dream A Little Dream was for us. He was and still is, my soul mate. We still dance to this song every wedding anniversary. Thanks you Jamel. 💖
It's a really old song Jamel.....goes back to 1931 with the first version recorded by Ozzie Nelson (of Ozzie and Harriet TV show fame). Lots of people have recorded it - Doris Day, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald......and the list goes on. Mama Cass....from the Mamas and Papas.
That puts tears in my eyes.....Cass Elliot was so amazing! Just so much depth, emotion, and raw talent. We can only imagine what she could have gone on to had she lived a full life.....
I was 15 and my mother and I went to see her at The London Palladium , 2 days later we woke up to the news she had died. It was so sad. What a performance tho. Fabtastic
@@Mercutia In all my research, and all the “ rumors about her death, you are correct. It was a Heart Attack - and NO drugs were found in her. Still , these rumors persist. 📻😐

@@jeffking291 What happened was she was doing dangerous diet, which messed up her body. She under pressure and being picked on for her weight, she will always be amazing, sweet and talented woman. Her diet led to heart attack in her sleep.

Even better is her collaboration with Joni Mitchell and Mary Travers "I Shall be Released" ua-cam.com/video/sEZFt5ZZj9s/v-deo.html Three of the purest voices in the folk/rock music of the 60's and 70's.

@@onespecies-human344 Don’t be ridiculous. No one person or group started the multifaceted movements of the time. Certainly not the Mamas and the Papas, although they participated in it.
Hi Jamel! I'm a big fan, and because of that I'm honored that you have my art on your wall! I'm the artist of the Black Panther piece you have up. I drew it and my wife Linda colored it back in 1988. Keep up the great work!
Glad at 40 something you like her! I was there when they were happening...75 now & they all played free in People’s Park in Berkeley..ahhh; Janis too. BTW, Jamal..I’m very impressed by your scope of appreciation for such a wide swath of music at your young age & not having been there! Really appreciate you man. Love what you bring to the table. We’re all so fortunate. Keep up the great work! Mahalo from Kaua’i🌺
Cass Elliott and Karen Carpenter were two of my idols growing up. Their voices were in my range, and part of why I have been singing in choirs all my life.
If you watch Janis Joplin at the Monterey Pop Festival the cameraman flashes on Mama Cass in astonishment sitting in the audience. Love watching her little dance when she's singing with The Mamas and Papas.
Isn't it great how we can tie all this stuff together for Jamel? He reacted to Ball and Chain a LONG time ago and I'm sure he had no idea at the time who this woman was that the camera man kept pointing to.
Besides having this amazing voice, Mama Cass was an important influence on so many young musicians. She had a kind of Gertrude Stein "salon". They all gathered at her house, supposedly Crosby Stills and Nash first sang together at her house.
@@jeffking291 Top 5 takes you into very deep water, Jeff. Not ready to join you at that depth. You're in the territory of Ann Wilson and Linda Ronstadt, for example, in the Top 5 with so many others that need to be considered.
Jamel, you just recently reacted to her singing as part of her iconic '60's group, The Mama's & Papa's and she was the astonished lady with the big butterfly ring watching Janis Joplin singing Ball & Chain at the Monterey Pop Festival. Can you believe that John Phillips did not want to include her in their group because of her weight?! Clearly she had the best voice of the group with a personality to match, so I have heard. Gone way too young.
As amazing as that performance of "Ball And Chain" was, my very favorite part of the actual video is Mama Cass at the end, shaking her head and mouthing "wow."
Frankly, I believe her. Many reasons why I do that I don't want to share here. Phillips may have been a very talented guy, but wins no humanitarian awards in my book. Not that any of this matters really, just an opinion.
I heard that he didn't want to include her because her voice didn't match what he wanted for the group. It was only after her voice changed after being hit on the head by something falling on her that she fit vocally with the rest of the group. I remember seeing a documentary about the group, and this was the story I remember being told.
There isn't enough of her, she left us so young. Her voice brings me to tears every time, in part because I so very much want more and more. Thanks for this, I am going to bed with happy and sad tears in my eyes.
Cass had one of the most beautiful voices of the 1960s and beyond. She could sing a glorious lead or add a beautiful harmony line to anything that was brought to her. It's such a shame she passed away so young. In truth, she disliked the Mama moniker as that was only when she was a member of The Mamas and Papas. The Mama name evoked so much pain she endured because of her size, her only true public pleasure was when she sang in her angelic voice. This is probably her best moment as a solo artist, giving her a chance to sing a much older song with some wonderful Blues roots, something she excelled at.
Would love for you to do any or all of these four by The Mamas & Papas..."Dedicated To The One I Love"..."I Saw Her Again"..."Creeque Alley"..."Monday Monday"....all great!💙🌿💚
I grew up just down the street from her in Alexandria.....I sang this to my daughter EVERY night as her "bedtime song" and now she sings it to my granddaughter. My mother sang it to me. She's the one making the "WOW" face during the Janis Joplin video. NO ONE could sing it like it her. She's probably the best known for it. God Bless her and RIP Mama Cass....she was amazing!!
So sad that she was a victim of fat-shaming back in the day. Her soaring voice with the Mamas and the Papas was amazing. They truly epitomized the Hippy movement of that time; peace and love (with some drugs mixed in!).
"Dream a Little Dream of Me" is a 1931 song with music by Fabian Andre and Wilbur Schwandt and lyrics by Gus Kahn. It was first recorded in February 1931 by Ozzie Nelson and also by Wayne King and His Orchestra, with vocals by Ernie Birchill. A popular standard, it has seen more than 60 other versions recorded, with one of the highest chart ratings by The Mamas & The Papas in 1968 with Cass Elliot on lead vocals. (info courtesy of Wikipedia)
Yes, the original is better, and clearer. You can't hear her voice in this one too well, drowned out. Check out the original of her 'Words of Love' with the Mamas and Papas.
Greetings my friend. Years since I heard the incomparable Cass Elliot and boy she's G O O D!! In the good old days of vinyl I had an LP of hers I played over and over. More of her please, don't care which song because she could S A N G...Thank you, stay safe and blessings...
I was born in 54, so this was at the peak of my Teen years. My Mom played her music and I was very familiar with all the old pop 'standards' such as this. One thing that always impressed me was how accurate the 80s tune "Video Killed the Radio Star" truly was. Mama Cass was transcending the group and becoming a true solo performer all due to that amazing voice. No one cared that she was not a raving beauty or shapely... That voice, that voice, that VOICE! She was definitly a huge loss to all of us.
Cass Eliot was the Star of the Mamas and the Papas. Not just a great voice, she had a real star quality. She exuded something that was beautiful and fun. Gone too soon.
This was a cover that permanently changed how everyone did this song. This song started its life as a peppy dance tune, but Mama Cass did it is a ballad and, after that, everyone thought of this song as a ballad. It's rare that a cover is so good that it changes forever how a song is performed.
First off I wish what many do we still had Mama Cass & that phenomenal voice. She was truly a gem that got a short shine but still a long lasting one. Secondly, Jamal...I was born 93 lil Latina girl but my brothers and parents did play music before Auto tune days. In high school I concert band. No March band. I played the clarinet & bass clarinet in 4 years I got introduced to so much more great music from 1920s back to the 90s. (this is what I call a Christmas miracle). I was cleaning out a hotel room with my mom. The guests had left we we're preparing it for someone else. I'm a year into playing with the band. I found an iPad full of stuff like Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Miles Davis to The Doors, The Beatles (which O already loved) some Elvis I hadn't heard. An so much more. The rule was if the guest didn't claim the item, the housekeeper could have it or it'd get thrown out. So my mom let me keep it. That was a great time. It's one thing to be around for bands like type of negative, Alice in chains, Pearl Jam and others from 90s -2000s even some 2000s-2010s but you're right there is that spark missing now. I don't know. Thanks for giving me a good morning and reading this rant. Happy Sunday brother 😊
@@kellyp136 Her voice changed because of the crash diet she was on - she lost 100 of her 300 pounds way too quickly, which led to ulcers and throat problems. Her heroine habit didn't help either.
My first celebrity crush. I was like nine years old and just adored her. The joy she with which she would throw back her head and belt it out was contagious.
I loved Cass she had the most beautiful voice I bought her Albums in 70s and I would go in my bedroom put her album on the record player lay on my bed and just close my eyes and relax to the sound of her beautiful voice I was devastated when she past away she had so much more to give she past away in a London hotel from a heart attack so sad Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴🏴🏴💖😞💔😘XX
Hey Jamel! Cass Elliot, I remember seeing her sing live on many shows in my youth. A pure and powerful voice, indeed! This is a sweet song and doesn't require power but when she sings a tune that does, she isn't guilty of "belting" it out, she just has power.
I enjoy being able to understand the words. That's what's special about older music. Many people today are barely even "artists". They're just performing.

Mama Cass has an amazing voice. She had such power but her voice was so clean and crisp. It's an old song that other people did before her but she was by far the most famous version.
I absolutely loved this reaction. You should have been born is the 60s. She was in my opinion one of the greatest female vocalist of all time. Very underrated. She was originally with the Mamas and Papas but went solo for a short time. Another great artist that we lost way to soon, like so many of the giants of that time. I believe she was 27 when she died. No sure exactly but very young. Words of Love is another great song of hers.

Coincidentally, I heard Graham Nash say in an interview that Mama Cass was instrumental in introducing him to Crosby & Stills + Young : )
Hey Jamel try Mama Cass "It's getting better" really show cases her voice. She was Mama Cass because she was a founding member of the Mamas and Papas.

Cass Eliot was the Star of the Mamas and the Papas. Not just a great voice, she had a real star quality. She exuded something that was beautiful and fun. Gone too soon.
She held “ salons” at her home in Laurel Canyon, bringing together the great artists of the day.
The song is from 1931 it's been recorded hundreds of times,they called her Mama Cass because she was in the band the Mamas and Papas.
I remember hearing this when I was a little kid. My Mama loved Cass.
This was a cover that permanently changed how everyone did this song. This song started its life as a peppy dance tune, but Mama Cass did it is a ballad and, after that, everyone thought of this song as a ballad. It's rare that a cover is so good that it changes forever how a song is performed.
Exactly right. Nowhere to hide. Just a beautiful voice. Real talent.
what a voice!, reminds me of ann wilson from heart
"Dream A Little Dream", was the name of the movie with James Coburn and Corey Feldman. ✌
Not James Coburn, Jason Robards.
Mama Cass had one of the best voices ever. So smooth. A voice from my childhood. Adore this song.
Love...love...love...this song....She was Amazing....R.I.P Beautiful Lady......
🎶🎶Make Your Own Kind Of Music 🎶🎶
She was actually a Jewish woman, born Ellen Naomi Cohen.😉
Can't get more Jewish than that!
Beautiful woman with the voice of an angel!
Written 1931 & first released by Ozzy Nelson
A really beautiful voice! We lost her WAY too soon. Another gifted voice, gone. WONDERFUL reaction!
Her voice was by far the most notable in the Mamas and Papas. Wonderful talent. Thanks for paying attention to great female artists.
"It's Getting Better" is another great solo Cass song!
There was a live concert with Janis Joplin on stage singing and whose got front row seats watching?? Mama Cass!
Monterey Pop Festival. John Phillips, of Mamas and Papas, was instrumental in organizing the concert. I believe Cass also helped with it.
Mamas and the Papas rabbithole... their version of "Dedicated"... they were some of the best harmonizers...
First off I wish what many do we still had Mama Cass & that phenomenal voice. She was truly a gem that got a short shine but still a long lasting one.
Secondly, Jamal...I was born 93 lil Latina girl but my brothers and parents did play music before Auto tune days. In high school I concert band. No March band. I played the clarinet & bass clarinet in 4 years I got introduced to so much more great music from 1920s back to the 90s. (this is what I call a Christmas miracle). I was cleaning out a hotel room with my mom. The guests had left we we're preparing it for someone else. I'm a year into playing with the band. I found an iPad full of stuff like Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Miles Davis to The Doors, The Beatles (which O already loved) some Elvis I hadn't heard. An so much more. The rule was if the guest didn't claim the item, the housekeeper could have it or it'd get thrown out. So my mom let me keep it. That was a great time. It's one thing to be around for bands like type of negative, Alice in chains, Pearl Jam and others from 90s -2000s even some 2000s-2010s but you're right there is that spark missing now. I don't know. Thanks for giving me a good morning and reading this rant. Happy Sunday brother 😊
She would get a lot of flack about her weight, how sad people can be.
My dad told me that, at one point, she did lose a bunch of weight but it changed her singing voice so she put the weight back on
@@kellyp136 Her voice changed because of the crash diet she was on - she lost 100 of her 300 pounds way too quickly, which led to ulcers and throat problems. Her heroine habit didn't help either.
@@juniorjohnson9509 Showbiz is horrendous to women who are not naturally skinny. Diet pills ( speed) gave her that heart attack. 😥
@@TheDivayenta No. The autopsy showed zero drugs in her system.
@@juniorjohnson9509 doesn't matter... Could have weakened her heart
It was in a movie called “THE NOTEBOOK” with Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams!
My first celebrity crush. I was like nine years old and just adored her. The joy she with which she would throw back her head and belt it out was contagious.
literally the voice of an angel
There’s a video of Mama Cass, Joni Mitchell and another singer (can’t remember her name) singing I Shall Be Released. You’d find it beautiful!
Mary Travers of Peter, Paul, and Mary.
Yes, the great and beautiful late Mary Travers

When are gonna have some Cat Stevens?
John Savva "Father and Son" would be a good one.
Morning has broken.
"Peace Train"
Moon Shadow.
Please do some Cat Stevens!!
I loved Cass she had the most beautiful voice I bought her Albums in 70s and I would go in my bedroom put her album on the record player lay on my bed and just close my eyes and relax to the sound of her beautiful voice I was devastated when she past away she had so much more to give she past away in a London hotel from a heart attack so sad Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴🏴🏴💖😞💔😘XX
Hey Jamel! Cass Elliot, I remember seeing her sing live on many shows in my youth. A pure and powerful voice, indeed! This is a sweet song and doesn't require power but when she sings a tune that does, she isn't guilty of "belting" it out, she just has power.
Before “The Notebook”, the song was in a movie called “Dream a Little Dream” with Corey Haim and Corey Feldman.
You beat me to it! Love that movie 😍
@@evabartlett4599 oops lol😁
I love that movie too, it’s a classic!
She was just called Cass Elliott. She hated being called Mama.
Yeah. The trouble is Mama Cass struck a chord. No one ever said Mama Michelle
And her voice was so velvety and sweet.
@@texadan314 tru dat!!! 😉
I enjoy being able to understand the words. That's what's special about older music. Many people today are barely even "artists". They're just performing.
I love Mama Cass Elliott! I think of my Mother whenever I hear her. Watch her sing with John Denver. So very good.
You should react to Cass Elliott singing "Make Your Own Kind of Music."
Words Of Love really shows off her amazing voice. She's up there with Karen Carpenter as THE best.
Love mamas and the papas my fave is make your own kind of music and California dreaming
Mama Cass was a funny gal. She had a great sense of humor. And of course a gorgeous voice! How fun it would’ve been to hang with her!
Another great track by "Mama" Cass is "Young Girl's Lament"
Would love some more Cass Elliott, maybe It's Getting Better or Make Your Own Kind Of Music.
I could listen to Cass over and over and over.
Cass Elliott. Phenomenal talent and chutzpah with that blessed instrument, a lovely voice and spirit. What a loss hers was. 💗🙏🕊

@@marymcdonald3778 you can download it as a PDF file from here (pg20) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_a_Little_Dream_of_Me
Check out "Creeque Alley"....their biography song about their own band
Yes = this is a "top of the list" song by The Mamas and the Papas.
Excellent song. My favorite is Young Girls Coming to the Canyon
Great song
Mama Cass has an amazing voice. She had such power but her voice was so clean and crisp. It's an old song that other people did before her but she was by far the most famous version.
I'll be 40 the day after Thanksgiving and I grew up on this kind of music...Loved it as a kid and adore it now.
There are much better recordings of this by her.
There are
I should say videos, this one seems distorted.
She’s with the group The Mamas and the Papas. California Dreaming was one of their big hits.

@@deborahcornell171 Don’t know how I missed this one....thanks!
I absolutely loved this reaction. You should have been born is the 60s. She was in my opinion one of the greatest female vocalist of all time. Very underrated. She was originally with the Mamas and Papas but went solo for a short time. Another great artist that we lost way to soon, like so many of the giants of that time. I believe she was 27 when she died. No sure exactly but very young. Words of Love is another great song of hers.
