I know I will get some blowback for this but Whitney Houston's version of "I will always love you" is an example of too much for the song being sung. Just because you can belt it out doesn't mean you should all the time. If you can't stop yourself, choose your songs wisely.
Ok I know this sounds how it does, but singers let out crazy notes and volumes because it’s a thing of skill. I’m definitely not trying to take away from Mama Cass’ performance, it’s probably my favorite version of this song, but it’s actually really impressive when singers can make their voice crazy loud, or do insane whistle notes, but it’s just about time and stamina. This is a goal for a lot of new singers, because it shows experience.
I love how she opens up to this big sound, then brings it back down to a soft-spoken style. She brought so many layers and nuances to this performance.
This was HER song. She had such a romantic voice. The music world lost a fine singer when she passed at so young an age. She would have been quite a shining star for us all.
Yes! And I think that song came out in like 1938!? She's killed it! We will always remember this song for her :-) and her for this song (but not just this song)!
I feel the same, but just so you know, she was known to have hated to be called Mama Cass. She felt it perpetuated the Big Mama stereotype. She's just so amazing.
It’s called breath support; people who make breathing/gasping noises are singing from their throat and not from their diaphragm, which is how you control your voice, give it support, and make it shine; your throat is really only a conduit, so it comes out raspy and gaspy.

@@philipgermani1616 I agree and what an impact she made with the Mamas and Papas. Forget the Beatles and Stones. The Mamas and Papas had the best voices of the 60's. The music has lost a great talent. She had a wonderful voice. I could listen to it for hours.

Gosh I wish she had the chance to see all the positive comments she would have gotten today rather than the insults she got back then. Her voice just sends you to another realm. ❤
Comments about her voice have always been positive. Body positivity comments nowadays would be based on woke positivity, not genuine appreciation for how she looks. She's overweight. She overconsumed food. Fair enough if that's your kink, but it isn't most peoples.
Cass:s was the original and the best. A close second is the cover by The Beatiful South in both english and french for the movie French Kiss. Check it out.

There is no artist who can make me feel as good as Cass still can. I watch her videos and immediately feel her warmth and beauty. It’s amazing. She was an incredible person.
Been singing this song all day. Had to watch it live. I still remember the day you left us 50 years ago dear Cass … and I still miss you and love you today.
Its not possible for me to listen to Cass Elliot sing this song without doing a soft shuffle around the kitchen, then a little dance shoop shoop through the living room. I'm convinced that listening to this amazing artist sing keeps my blood pressure down.

I was 12 in the summer of 1967 and spent the holidays at our local open air pool. This song was played often on BBC Radio 1 and the sun always seemed to shining! I live in Scotland!🏴 Happy days!😎
How such a big person (I am 300lb+ myself) can sing so well without being breathless is beyond me. I sometimes get winded if I talk too long. Here she is, perfect breath control and absolutely magnificent voice, just belting out one of the most beautiful songs with minimal effort.

Oh Cass. I think about you every day. I wish people could have loved you the way you clearly deserved 😢 you were amazing and I hope that in heaven you see it too 💔

God, how I would have loved doing a duet with this lady back in the 70's!

Naomi Cohen, Mama Cass, beautiful great voice. Thank you. Australia.
And bearing in mind the tech she was dealing with!
GLUTTONY TOOK HER DOWN! 😢😢🍫🍨🍧🍭🍦🍩🍰🍪🍔🍔🍔🍳🍳🍮🍮🍮🍭🍕🍕🍕🍟🍟🍟
@@captainamericaamerica8090 you're such a miserable person. I feel pity for you
Gosh I wish she had the chance to see all the positive comments she would have gotten today rather than the insults she got back then. Her voice just sends you to another realm. ❤
Comments about her voice have always been positive. Body positivity comments nowadays would be based on woke positivity, not genuine appreciation for how she looks. She's overweight. She overconsumed food. Fair enough if that's your kink, but it isn't most peoples.
Cass sings this song better than anyone else.
Maybe, difficult claim to make to state a singer singing better than Ella Fitzgerald even for one song.
Cass:s was the original and the best. A close second is the cover by The Beatiful South in both english and french for the movie French Kiss. Check it out.
Agree re this is best version. She just nails it. Was originally written and performed in the 1930s, dance band song
@@philippederome2434 Ella is great. No doubt. But Cass's version of this song is more than perfect.
@@philippederome2434 Cass always.
She sings this song so easy. Absolutely love the dreaminess of it til the end. Sing on Mama Cass.
Pure vocals, no needless gestures. One of the best.

" A Velvet Voice on a Bed of Roses?" Thank you, you're welcome; I'll copyright that one!
There is no artist who can make me feel as good as Cass still can. I watch her videos and immediately feel her warmth and beauty. It’s amazing. She was an incredible person.
Maybe the most cheesy terrible song I know. Rare for lyrics and melody (sort of ragtime-ish) that are so bad to join forces.
@@oppothumbs1 what was the point of your reply? Personally I don’t give a fuck what you think of anything. THAT CLEAR?
Been singing this song all day. Had to watch it live. I still remember the day you left us 50 years ago dear Cass … and I still miss you and love you today.
Its not possible for me to listen to Cass Elliot sing this song without doing a soft shuffle around the kitchen, then a little dance shoop shoop through the living room. I'm convinced that listening to this amazing artist sing keeps my blood pressure down.
Right on!
Yes, listening to her works for us like a meditation does...
One of the best female singers of all time...❣
👍😊
With tears rolling down my face
Good news! Our beloved Cass will receive her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on October 3, 2022
The pure clarity of her voice!!! So awesome.
You can say that again..
She have a soulful voice!

Sadly taken too soon.
Her and Karen Carpenter
I love her voice and this song. This takes me back to my 17 year old self...50 years ago...lovely.
Yes, what an extremely talented beautiful voice as well as herself. Flawless and well missed by tens of millions of her fans. A real shining Star 🌟 God rest her soul@ Miss you dearly Mama Cass!😢
Me to, I was 11. I never thought beyond the year 2000. This was are era. Strange ?What would you change if you could go back too 1970?
This singer was the owner of an incredible talent and charisma that is difficult to see nowadays. I really miss her.

This song is perfection X well done😃
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

My favorite rendition of this song! Yep, effortlessly she made this song incredible. As well as haunting. She left us too soon & took with her all that talent.
There are few things in life as pure as Cass' voice.
Stunning voice. What a legend.
I remember standing on my mom's feet as a little boy while we held hands and dancing together.... Such wonderful memories... She passed away back in 1995, and listening to this song makes me smile, but it also makes my heart ache as well....
Touching ....Remember the " Spirit" never dies.

Beautiful story thanks
That would tear me apart, too. I have such beautiful memories as well. It's the necessary price that we must pay for a love so perfect, so grand. It's worth it. ❤
"Mama", Elliott Class, was a class act. A beautiful woman.
her voice was absolutely stunning. i could listen to her for hours 😍
Yep and Spanky ( Elaine Mac Farlane) too and Judith Durham from the Seekers, nothing like them ever again Ever Period!!!!!
Another beautiful lady with a beautiful voice gone too soon. I believe she was the same age as Karen Carpenter when she died. May they both be singing in heaven with the angels. I truly miss them both.
I would love to see this colorized and remastered. She's one of the greatest vocalists and human beings who ever lived.
a lovely colour version ua-cam.com/video/nbXpRa79EpQ/v-deo.html
Why colorized etc it's perfect just as it is
@@janetcallanan7020 Exactly, pure and unadulterated. No one needs all those unhealthy gimmicks and additives that are the norm of today and if they do let them make their version.

I am old enough to remember when she passed away at only 32 years old, this live performance has me in tears
She would be exactly 80yrs today, imagine?
I was mid teen when she died, yet her music means much more to me now, than back then...strange how that works.
@@moosehead1183 I didn't even exist yet when she died.
Sadly! SHE' CHOCKED ON A GIANT SUB! HER ORDER= ON SEEDED RYE' DELI MUSTARD! MAYO! EXTRA KOSHER' PICKLES! MY GRANNY HAS THE ACTUAL BILL!
@@captainamericaamerica8090 shut up
the best and most honest version of this song ..
Cass was such a great singer when given a live mic ..
Not shaking her rear end, scantily clad. Just a beautiful woman, voice. No auto tune. Gone are the days of real voices and talent and class.
She gave me goosebumps, such a beautiful voice, rest in peace 💜
her voice is perfection, I love the way she sing that song, full of sweatiness, emotion and passion
I was 12 in the summer of 1967 and spent the holidays at our local open air pool. This song was played often on BBC Radio 1 and the sun always seemed to shining! I live in Scotland!🏴 Happy days!😎
What a beautiful woman and truly a amazing performer
Her and Elaine Mac Farlane of Spanky and Our Gang, two incredible singers !!!!!
Confidence breeds confidence!
Stunning
One thing that is so interesting to watch when she sings is how much she absolutely loves it.
GO TIGERS! 💪👊🐯🐯🐯👑👑👑🔱🔱🔱🔱🐯🐯🐯🐯
How such a big person (I am 300lb+ myself) can sing so well without being breathless is beyond me. I sometimes get winded if I talk too long. Here she is, perfect breath control and absolutely magnificent voice, just belting out one of the most beautiful songs with minimal effort. Man, the world really lost a treasure the day we lost Cass Elliot.
Do you realize how many opera singers are heavy?
Well Nirmal, I'm sure whether you know it or not you have your strengths too.✌️

What a beautiful voice. Such a gentle voice with sparkly eyes.❤
I was 14 when she passed away…her passing broke my heart. It’s wonderful that this forum allows more opportunities for us to witness just how good she was!
I was around 12. Really strange being 66 looking back back. A fast changing time.
Such a heavenly voice. Damn shame she is no longer with us.Her voice never to be duplicated.
Yup
She was certainly brilliant live. I'm so glad this performance was preserved.
What a true classic I never knew she sung this beautiful song thanks for sharing this
God, what a voice. That’s how you do it, making it look so easy. Only her

Classic. Beautiful. Well done. Mama Cass is a legend young people don't know about
I was a teenager when Cass struck out on her own. Loved her then and 50 years later, I still love her ❤️ !
Mama Cass had one of the most iconic and beautiful voices of her time! The world lost a powerhouse when she died.
Hi how are you doing?
I agree with you but miss she didn't like being called mama cass please respect her ❤❤
@@yes8416 She didn't? I did not know that.
reminds us how dangerous prediabetes and obesity can lead to..she died too young of heart failure aged only 33!
Her voice is so calming😌
What a beautiful person, inside & out.
No one can sing this like her. You r greatly missed MC. Your voice and memory lives on in our hearts❤️🎶 RIP sweet song bird.
To think they would not sign her at first because of her weight. She had the voice and the grace of an angel. A legend.
She had such an effortless quality to her voice. So sad that she died so young! I hope Cass is watching over the world right now, seeing her music become popular again ❤
Love you Elliot ❤. You have sung the song in a way that no one could have achieved. It's your way, and God knows it.❤ May you happy in His garden.😊
Such beautiful talent, we were blessed to have had the privilege

My late dad loved Cass Elliot’s voice and talent.
Ma ma Cass had a massive voice, everytime I hear Cass sing I get shivers down my whole body; no one, repeat no one else ever had that effect on me ever before. Ma ma Cass has no equal, she's up there with the stars shining for evermore. She has the wow factor and I mean that most sincerely ❤
❤ beautiful Vocals indeed
Oh Cass. I think about you every day. I wish people could have loved you the way you clearly deserved 😢 you were amazing and I hope that in heaven you see it too 💔
Beautiful song sung by Mama Cass Elliot. She was great. RIP DEAR Cass.
Beautiful lady with a beautiful voice. Brings back memories.
She was such a talented vocalist, always a favorite of mine!
She’s a joy to listen to. I never tire of hearing her beautiful voice whether solo or harmonizing with a group. Just an amazing talent!
I was so young when I first heard this but it’s stuck with me all my life. What a voice, what a sweet song. Xx
There is a magnificent gentleness to this song. it is perfect
Have a tear in my eyes because mama cass and the mamas and pappas just reminds me so much of my dad
Lord, her voice is like heaven.
She had the most beautiful voice, so pure and rich, but also light filled a d dreamy. Her beauty radiated from within and shined through her talent. RIP Mama Cass. ❤
Brilliant performance - stunning. She's still missed so so much.
There will never be another like her. She was a hippie but also classy and elegant.
What a magnificent and beautiful woman with that magnetic fantastic voice, hope God has blessed her in heaven singing with the Holy Angels, God bless Cass Elliott for eternity
