I cant listen to this song without crying, it reminds me so much of my father. He isnt gone, he hasn't passed, i just weep at the thought of one day hearing this song when he is and no longer being able to hear him sing it. I miss him while he's still here, and I long for him to stay forever so I can always have him here to sing it for me.
Evelyn Ferguson It's the same with me..my first name is Vernon. Never liked it and no one in my family ever called me Vernon. To family and friends I was either Wesley or Wes. When I asked where the name "Vernon" came from; I was told that my teenage sister had a crush on a guy upstairs named Vernon. I like my middle name, however some have called me the founder of the Methodist Church !
You get the feeling of being infused with something legendary when you hear this song... It will always remain an inexplicable phenomenon as to why the Mamas and Papas stood out so much from most bands. There is something magical just hearing their three most famous songs. Thank you Mamas and Papas Man hat das Gefühl von etwas legendären durchzogen zu werden, wenn man dieses Lied hört... Es wird immer ein unerklärliches Phänomen bleiben, warum die Mamas und Papas von den meisten Bands so herausstachen. Es hat etwas magisches nur schon ihre drei bekanntesten songs zu hören. Danke Mamas und Papas...
This is "our favorite song". This song was playing when my wife and I both felt that magical feeling of love in 1968. Now we have been married 50 years! The Momma's and the Poppa's were the greatest harmonizers and complimented each other so well. Momma's voice, wow!
The song itself is beautiful and the voice of Cass, is just beautiful to listen. One remembers when one was very young and my Mama sang to me a lullaby.
My mother passed away when I was little-my parents had a huge collection of records,and my Dad told me this was her favorite. I've finally met the right man, and this will be our first dance at our wedding
Cass's shift to the natural in her first chorus is so elegant. The tacked piano is a perfect backing for the harmony. She was a vocal gem. I'd love to have had her live longer and decorate our lives further with her beautiful voice.
That's the legendary Larry Knechtel coming up with the piano parts (including that wonderful solo starting at 1:38 ). He was the genius behind the arrangement and piano part on "Bridge over Troubled Water", the Hammond organ for "Good Vibrations", the harpsichord on "MacArthur Park", the lead guitar solo on Bread's "Guitar Man" and the bass guitar on the Byrds "Tambourine Man". And that's just the tip of the iceberg, yet most people have never heard of the guy (sadly, he's dead now)
@@Gottenhimfella Never knew that, thank you for pointing this out. Still, not everyone wants to be in the spotlight. Silent contributions can be the best.
Never knew Mama Casa sang this. It's absolutely one of the most beautiful songs we can listen, feel and enjoy. Thanks Mama Casa for your voice and talented. Such a pain you left us too soon!
Some people just burn a little more brightly than others which makes their life seem short, but sometimes just as filled with experiences as someone who lives a longer life.
You could easily make the argument that this is the most beautifully song sung in music history. It is impossible to overstate the greatness of Mama Cass.
When I came to Germany at the beginning of 1992 , I was 25. It was a hit on every radio station. I thought it was a new song. I had never heard it before. Now I'm 55, almost 56. And this song still breaks my heart every time I hear it.
46, and while part of me regrets being too young to have experienced musicians like this in person, I am happy to be here now. There are so many wonderful things going on in music and arts now all over the world; and while it may not be the same, they are still wonderful in their own way, and we have access to it now that we would not had years ago.
1.4k disliked this beautiful tune by the late Mama Cass Elliott (1941-1974).🙏 What's wrong with some people dissing a beautiful tune like this, She had a beautiful voice along with Karen Carpenter (1950 - 1983)🙏 and Patsy Cline. ♥️🎶🎸❤️😍🎤🎼🎵🎧😪🎹, Who was only 30 when she died in a plane crash in 1963 R I P 🙏, Just tragic.Wonder if these 3 had survived in 2021, Would they still be performing in today's world? THE mind boggles, Makes me Greet listening to this classic 😭😪🎼🎶😍
God how I hate that stupid rumor about the ham sandwich--it's cruel because of course it is mocking her weight. THAT IS NOT HOW SHE DIED> She had a heart attack ---ask her daughter. She died years ago.
I'm in my school's quoir. This year we did this song. We were invited to play at our country's government building for [Countrywide holiday]. First school to ever book a gig there, and on one of the most important days of the year for our country, too. Alto section! It was so much fun to perform this for government officials. Gave a lot of pride, really. Best memory of 2020 thus far
My mom sang this to me as a lullaby when I was little, growing up I didn't even know it was a real song! The first time I heard this song on the radio when I was like 11 I felt so betrayed 🤣
This right here is how the song is suppose to be sung. Absolutely perfect rendition of a beautiful song. I am 65 and Mama Cass was one of the free her time. Thanks and well done. So says the immortal... Ghost!!!
They're voices are both revelations, but there's no need not any genuine benefit in saying they were 'the best'.... that's only an obstacle to listening.... it sets up unnecessary antagonisms. There's always room for more beauty... it's not a competition
Cass Elliott literally had one of the best voices I have ever heard, I literally could listen to her and Denny Doherty sing all day as they had the best voices of the group.
I've sung this to my baby girl for years at bed time. She's 6 and a half now and sings with me. Makes my heart so full to know she'll have this song to remember me.
@@the.penthouse---barre6792 Thank you for asking! I'm doing well, I just know the internet 'lives forever' and it would be so interesting if she found this comment one day. Hope you are well too. 💜
"Dream a Little Dream of Me" is a 1931 song with music by Fabian Andre and Wilbur Schwandt and lyrics by Gus Kahn.[1] It was first recorded in February 1931 by Ozzie Nelson and also by Wayne King and His Orchestra, with vocal 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.
This shows you size does not count when it comes to singing.. MAMA CASS you were the best ever in the group Us oldies in South Africa liked your music and still do !
I was 2 years old when this song out in 68 . My mom said it had a lot of aireplay. The AM radio stations had a ball playing that song. Dream a little dream of me . From The Mama's the the Papa's.
I'm only 2 days old and I absolutely love this song! Look at how special I am omg. - all of this 14 yo thinking they should be rewarded or something for listening to this song. Seriously, no one cares. Enjoy whatever songs you like but literally no one cares how old or special you are.
You must be fun at parties. While it doesn't make them special, the fact that the younger generations are finding and loving the music of older generations just proves that music is not limited to the era that it was released.
@@FallingOranges first of all I really am not fun at parties and second of all I agree with you but it's just kind of annoying seeing all those comments of kids thinking they're special for listening to this song...
@@navi3347 I personally don't find it annoying it all, I love the fact that kids now days are willing to listen to older music and are proud to say that they are doing so.
Happy 78th 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..
until now I had no idea mamas and papas did this, and further, I had no idea louis armstrong did it.... further still I've never even heard of ozzie nelson until now. I do, however, know that the beautiful south did a nice cover of this.
One of these devine musical strokes of genius composed as early as 1931, by Fabian Andre and Wilbur Schwandt, with exquisite lyrics by Gus Kahn. First recorded by Ozzie Nelson and His Orchestra, but before too long it developed into a popular standard, with well over 400 different recordings. Great artists like Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerrald, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, and Doris Day have their verions, but still this one by The Mamas and The Papas sounds just perfect.
Back in the day, my mom surprised me by singing along with this song. I said I didn't know you listened to the Mamas and Papas. She said, "I don't, Ozzie Nelson did this song 20 years before you were born, also Ella Fitzgerald, Doris Day and about 50 others".
@@gemoftheocean There's a version of this for quite a few different romantic moods. The Mel Torme version is great for when you're thinking about a long lost flame, this one is more of a snuggle up with your SO mood.
My grandma sang this to me when I was a little girl. We had a swing chair underneath a sycamore tree... it was lovely.
You make a working man sniffle ;(
Lovely memory to share! ❤️
Truly beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!
I feel this all the way to my soul. My daddy used to sing this version to me. My favorite memory. 💖💖💖💖
What a lovely memory to have of your grandmother ❤️
The beautiful voice of Mama Cass.
I had the 45 rpm and wore the damn thing out. Got a lot of air play as well during its initial release. Just love it and her voice.
Beathifull voice very good
She was one for the ages .

@andresgarsia6063 Sweet friend, that's because it IS better. I'm so glad you found meaningful music from the age of all that is good.
"Mama" Cass had the voice of an angel.
She sings like an angel.
Timeless
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Give me HBO
You get the feeling of being infused with something legendary when you hear this song...
It will always remain an inexplicable phenomenon as to why the Mamas and Papas stood out so much from most bands.
There is something magical just hearing their three most famous songs.
Thank you Mamas and Papas

Oh my god I’m crying 😂 that’s so nice 💜
Nice to see someone taking those vows seriously.
she sings like a dream
Dee dee wee. Agree. Love this
She literally sings so people can go to sleep and dream
People picked on her because of her weight when we could only dream of being as beautiful as she was..
The song itself is beautiful and the voice of Cass, is just beautiful to listen. One remembers when one was very young and my Mama sang to me a lullaby.
My mother passed away when I was little-my parents had a huge collection of records,and my Dad told me this was her favorite. I've finally met the right man, and this will be our first dance at our wedding

Couldn't agree more. She was gone far too soon. Her body has faded, but her voice is forever, like the stars.
Some people just burn a little more brightly than others which makes their life seem short, but sometimes just as filled with experiences as someone who lives a longer life.
You could easily make the argument that this is the most beautifully song sung in music history. It is impossible to overstate the greatness of Mama Cass.
U could easily make the case that ur a combo of a used condom n a bloody tampon

Listen to this during the end of a sunset and it get 50x better.
I’m 15 and I adore this music!! I would love to have lived in a time of great music. It will never be the same.
same girl :( you just cant find music like this anymore...
There still is good music u just hear the bad music on the radio n stuff
YES! From a fellow teen, I wholeheartedly agree, would give anything to grow up in a simpler time with this music!
same girl. but we’re lucky enough to have the ability to listen to any music we want from any time before us :)

We need more singers like Mama Cass....she is an awesome, fantastic, magical and magnificent singer!
Of course you mean was
Mike M still is.
It's too bad the ham sandwiches don't think the same way :(
This style is similar to the Brazilian "Bossa Nova". Look for the Brazilian singer Tom Jobim and many others from Bossa Nova ;)
God how I hate that stupid rumor about the ham sandwich--it's cruel because of course it is mocking her weight. THAT IS NOT HOW SHE DIED> She had a heart attack ---ask her daughter. She died years ago.
What a dreamy voice Cass Elliot had... love to listen to her music.
A voice like this isn’t taught you’re born with it , beautiful!

🤣🤣 That's so cute
Very good times! Jeez wonderful times, where innocence and peace still existed! where there was no violence and no sadness with unknown diseases!
Unser Lied auf Stube 106 beim Bund 1992 , Top da kommen alte Erinnerungen auf 👍
I can't stop hit the replay button. It's a great song
Over 50 years later and this song is still amazing. Music today won't ever be listened to again 50 years from now
I am only 11 and I love old songs and one of my favorite song is this song!!!!!
Season 3 episode 1 traumatized me 😵💫
I absolutely love how there is no pretension in her voice, it's so casual and, I love it **

Ellie rouse. Yes they are. Love them
Don't forget Sandy Denny
Imagine..if Mama Cass had given Karen that Ham sandwich....😉🐨
Yes, and Helen Reddy also.
There's no such thing as a perfect song, but in my opinion this as close as we've ever got, and this is my favourite version!

Una delle più belle canzoni di sempre
Lo si dice molte volte esagerando, ma questa è veramente tra le 🔝👍❤
Una voce meravigliosa…
Прекрасная и чудесная колыбельная песня!
One of the greatest lullabies!
Thanks a lot!❤
Best cover of the song.
What a romantic classic! What an awesome voice! Oh, Mama! Released on June 22, 1968, reaching # 12 on August 17.
My Dad always showed me this Song when I couldnt sleep and it made me so so happy everytime so ill never stop listening fr
I love Mama Cass' version of this song best. None else compares, imo. She's sweet love. RIP Mama Cass.
I've sung this to my baby girl for years at bed time. She's 6 and a half now and sings with me. Makes my heart so full to know she'll have this song to remember me.

Us oldies in South Africa liked your music and still do !
I wish mama cass were alive and sing with her amazing voice. Miss you mama ♥

She would be 79 (2020).
I am here because my mama taught me what good music was . Thank you mama . Such soothing music. Mama Cass is one of my mamas favorites.
Lots of people have covered this song but this is by far my favorite
There’s only one right answer for this song
Mine too! Mama Cass had a sensational voice. ❤
It wasn't always rock and roll back then. We were also blessed with a beautiful song like this by the Mamas and Papas. Beautiful voice!
That piano solo in the middle is just awesome....always gets me...👍👍👍
