A lot of haters out there, but if you were around in the 60's u knew Mama Cass carried the vocals. If she was alive today she would have had a great solo career. See Adele. People Judged her on her weight. SO SAD!!!
MAMA ma préférée : je l'adore....
I love Mama Cass!
She had a big solo career back then, including her own tv show; th-cam.com/video/1I2Xup9dwW4/w-d-xo.html
Ra Denney I was going to say the same thing. She also did a lot of television back then and had her own Las Vegas show in 1973 at the flamingo, so she was in direct competition with the king himself, he was playing the Hilton.
Carried? No. Denny Doherty was every bit as important.
Love this group so much - Mama Cass's voice is gorgeous but they all blend beautifully together - Glorious - love it
Their daughters formed a group in the 90s, Wilson , Phillips their hamonies are to die for.
Exactly
He went into the church on that cold winters day to seek warmth, not because he wanted to pray. That’s why he pretended. 😉
"...the preacher likes the cold...he knows I'm gonna stay..."
For the longest time I though he said "and I began to pray"?
@@870expressmag Same. Love India's reaction though.
@@guidosarducci "The preacher likes the cold" -- that seems to be what they sing (though they also seem kind of unsure when they're singing it). I've also seen or heard it as "the preacher locks the door," which maybe makes more sense, but is also weird in its own way.
@@roberttaylor5997 I was never 100% sure what the lyrics were, but I thought it might be "preacher lights the coals". 😊
John Phillips was inspired to write the song when he and his family went on a trip to New York, and one of his children, who was little, said, "I don't like it here. All the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray." He stopped on the spot and wrote that down.
Their harmonies are incredible. Another good one by them is "This Is Dedicated to the One I Love"
Michelle's big chance to shine. Must be hard singing next to the powerhouse, Mama Cass.
@@3DThrills She did extremely well.
I am going to listen to that wonderful song right now, thanks for the reminder
Although I do love their version of that song, I have to give my ultimate props to Soul group The Delfonics for their version of “Dedicated to the One I Love.”
@@gymeni
Jackie Brown was Tarantino's love letter to the Delfonics.
Very talented group of artists.
They blazed a trail of hits that kept them at top. Very smooth group from the hippy, maryjane era. If your still listening to them 60 years later, that the testament to their greatness.
This song vaulted them into popularity. Harmonies are flawless. Cass Elliott had one of the best voices ever.
Totally agree with you...!
🙏⚘💚⚘🙏
Harmonizing at its best! "Creeque Alley", "I Saw Her Again", "Go Where You wanna Go"
Go Where You Wanna Go so groovy
Monday Monday 12:30 All phenomenal.
"I saw her, I saw her again last night.." Good choices.
@@kazheadrest3626 The best mistaken pause in music history!
I like the mistake in Saw Her Again, where Denny belts out “Saw Her Again” at the wrong spot but they left it in. Michelle and Denny has an affair though she was married to John Phillips and Cass had been in love with Denny.
Mamas and Papas were famous for their beautiful harmonies, and "California Dreamin'" is a perfect example of it. They were quite popular in the mid to late 60's.
Mama Cass had a show..A lot of duets on TH-cam...John Denver and Mama Cass
I think she reacted to that one too
Thank you India for that one.... Takes me back to my childhood... These guys were on the radio EVERY DAY...
There is a music video to this one also...
Oh Mama Cass...you are so missed and always loved! What an amazing voice she had! This family was royalty in 60's pop music. Their voices blended so perfectly.
OH! you found the Olde 'Hippy' music, the Flower Child movement of the 1960's was a free love and peace movement that made an indelible mark on Counter Culture of the time. the Mamas and the Papas were a major musical voice of the time, I'm so glad you enjoyed them.
Mama Cass had such a great voice. If she hadn't had died from a heart Attack at a young age, I think she would have had a huge solo career. She had the voice, personality, and stage presence and other intangibles.
This will ALWAYS go down as one of my favorite songs ever in the history of my life. I can remember being about 7 or 8 maybe, it must have been fall of 1986-87...my dad and I were walking up the street to go to my grandmother's house (it was only about a mile away from our old house)...our house was still within sight of us...and dad and I just started talking about the fall colors etc, this conversation started us singing this song on the walk to grandma's, I mean we were even breaking it down and everything. LOL. I'm 41 now, there are only a few vague memories I have of anything before age 10 or 11, there are somethings I would have no memory of at all if it wasn't for photographic evidence....but this is one of those memories that is hanging on for dear life.
Yessss, one of my favorite songs ever. Also, the pretending to pray was just so he could stay in the nice warm church...❤️
There was a documentary back in the 1990s about John "Papa John" Phillips and the Mamas and the Papas. At one point, he's in a restaurant on his birthday. With him are the interviewer and his daughter Mackenzie Phillips (who is an actress in her own right). He said, "I just wish I had done more. I don't think I made my mark, and that would have been nice."
His daughter told him that he was crazy and that he made a huge mark. When he scoffed at her, she stood up in the middle of the restaurant, asked everyone's pardon, and said, "This is my dad, John Phillips. Back in the 60s he wrote this song and I want to sing it to him now because its his birthday. If you know the words, join in."
And she gets as far as "All the leaves are brown..." before the entire freaking restaurant is singing along. John Phillips is just sitting there, his jaw on the floor, because the idiot really didn't think he was as influential when it came to music as he was.
That's a great story, thanks.
Did she talk about how John Phillips was giving her Cocaine and having SEX WITH HER...yeah his own daughter
@@mycolortv1 ... The Mamas and Papas were a group I listened to a lot when I was young. After I married and watched the documentary about them and the parties they had, I kind of lost all respect for Michelle and John. (for the reasons you spoke of) I read Mackenzie's biography and that was it. I remember Mackenzie saying that Mick Jagger was at her house visiting her parents and of course there were the drinks, drugs and rock-n-roll happening. Mackenzie said she was 14 or so and Mick asked her if she wanted to go to bed with him and she did. In her defense she said, "What would you do as a young teenage girl and Mick Jagger asked you if you wanted to go to bed?" A whole different scene, I guess. One I don't understand.
@@mycolortv1 That's disputed.
Prolly because he was high most of the time, but yeah, interesting info and liked them when I was growing up but a lot of stuff doesn't come out until later about their private lives and what seems to be the culture in Hollyweird.
Absolutely love their music. Beautiful, goosebumps, memories.
They were from California, but I think this was written while they were on tour in New York. Amazing voices and arrangements. RIP Mama Cass, who died far too young.
What I truly love about you is the fact that you react to so many different genres of music! I’m 36 years old and I listen to music ranging from the 1920’s through today. I’m big on if I like the beat and the just the music in general, I’m going to listen. Thank you for for showing all the different sides of music!
They have sooo many good songs. Monday, Monday. No Salt on Her Tail. I Saw Her Again Last Night. I even love their version of Twist and Shout. And Mama Cass is awesome in Dream a Little Dream Of Me.
California Dreamin' & Monday Monday are perfect pop songs (if there is such a thing). Great lyrics, music fits the lyrics, the vocals harmonize perfectly with each other and the recording production was spot on. There's a reason people still listen to this almost 60 years later.
Grew up listening to this. This was one of my moms favorite bands growing up (she's 70 now) and I heard this my whole life
This song makes me emotional. I cry to the melody, heart, and soul of the song. Songs like these you can taste, you can feel, it can change your whole mood around. Cause Music is power. Music is eternal and a universal language. Wish I would of been born in the 60’s... The Golden Age of Music and Television.
The Golden Age of Music and Television? Are you HIGH? Sure, you can probably make a good argument for the music, but television? Ugh. It was awful. What the hell was on except insipid sitcoms and overacted melodramas posing as westerns. The 1970s perfected the sitcom (thanks in no small part to Norman Lear), and the 1990s gave us Twin Peaks and Seinfeld (the anti-sitcom).
I love this song. Their harmony is fantastic. Mama Cass had a beautiful voice. Sadly, shes gone way too soon. I've been to Los Angeles a couple times. I LOVE it. This song makes me want to go back. Another bomb reaction! Keep dropping them, sister!
The vocalizing is amazing harmonies are spot on bravo
Big girl Mama Cass had such a beautiful voice. Loved all their songs.
The harmony from these guys was AWESOME.
Mama Cass had the best voice of the generation. And Michelle Philips was about the most beautiful singer in history.
Just sayin'
Michele Phillips got more and more beautiful for a couple of decades after that! She didn't peak until the 80's. Devastating beauty.
Sorry Janice Joplin was the best voice of the generation
Yup yup yup.
This is one of my favorite "chilling out" song. She looks more and more beautiful each time i watch it.
For those of us fortunate enough to live back in the 60's, we were able to see the multitude of talented groups like The Mamas And The Papas. There will never again be a generation of talent like the 60's.
Don't know why, but I always want to cry when I hear this song.
Me too. Even more so after I visited California. (I am from the UK.)
Omg me too!!! It puts you in such a feeling. It touches the soul.
Yup this song gives some meloncholic feeling.. but great piece of music..
It makes me cry that so many people experience Winter every year... and think that's... _NORMAL._
@@redxsage LOL! Try living in England! 😵
Love this song. Timeless classic. Just awesome.
Oh man, one of my favorite songs of all time. Thanks for this reaction. :)
Yep, it’s a flute, I think an alto flute, which is a little lower than a regular flute! Classic sound for the mid-late 60s!
I have seen them several times in my life, nice folk songs, its all about the harmony. There is a lot of back story about Mama Cass and the other band members.
I would suspect he only went into the church to get warm but he had to pretend he is there to pray.
..and Jesus would likely prefer to hang with him than any self professed "real Christian"
Yeah that's the impression I get as well. It's confirmed with the lines "the preacher likes the cold. He knows I'm gonna stay." So the preacher knows the man is there to get warm.
Such a beautiful song 🎧🎶 pretty harmonies!
Hey India, here's a little background on the meaning of this song:
The Mamas and The Papas were recording an album in New York in the Winter months and Michelle Phillips (The blonde on the far left and only surviving member of this group) was feeling kinda homesick for L.A.
So, John Phillips (The one playing guitar) wrote this song as a an attempt to cheer her up
Thanks for this
@@andrewmoore5628 you're quite welcome
She didn’t miss LA, he said she kept bitching about how cold it was there and how warm LA was.
@@iselanelson1466 it's still the same
That song did more than just cheer her up. I saw a documentary a few years back about the Mamas and the Papas. In it, John mentions writing this song and waking up Michelle to help him finish the song. Because of that Michelle has received quite a large sum of money over the years in royalties.
Beautiful song. Thanks India! I'm so glad to see you gaining so many subscribers girl!
Yes, Cali is warm - 103 degrees today in Sacramento, to top out at 110 degrees on Monday (Monday Monday - another song by them).
Some of the most beautiful harmonies ever caught on tape. Pure magic!
Totally agree with you.
🙏⚘💚⚘🙏
FYI the blonde Michelle Phillips and John Phillips daughter is Chyna Phillips from Wilson Phillips the band
A combination of Beach Boys and Mamas and Papas, doesn’t get any better!
and everybody so far has glazed over McKenzie Phillips, sit com star of the 70's
RIXRADvidz I was trying to stick with the music side of it LOL
They were based in NYC and Michelle, the blond, wanted to go Cali but the scene was still in NY. So John wrote this based on her longing. When they did relocate to CA, Cass Eliot/Mama Cass was at the center of much of the creativity that occurred at that time. I highly recommend reacting to her vocal tour de force “Words Of Love”
A recorder and not a flute was used for that great instrument solo and the harmony of these four people was divine,then and for all time!
Great band. Here in Argentina, is not so known now but it was in the 60's. Still great music after so many years, always will be.
They were in NY. John Philips woke up from his sleep no after having a dream about CA and wrote this song in about 15 mins. John Phillips, the guitarist was married to Michelle, the blond. They had two daughters. One daughter, played the oldest daughter on the original tv sitcom, One Day at a Time. Their other daughter is in the blond with short hair from the 80's group Wilson-Phillips. The other two girls are the daughters of Brian Wilson, the brilliant musician and writer from the Beach Boys. The Phillips and the Wilson's traveled in the same circles in CA, hence their daughters were the same age and hung out together. If you listen to Wilson-Phillips greatest song, Hold On, you will hear the harmonizing they learned from the Mama's and Papa's and the Beach Boys. Incidentally, the blond in Wilson-Phillips wrote Hold On. All three had inherited the their musical talents from all the parents.
Incredible song and group. Glad u checked them out. Love your reactiobs.
Thanks for your reaction!!! Music of my childhood... Love them and makes me feel young again.
Yes, that was a wooden flute that you heard playing the Solo
Omg, I scrolled sooooooo far to find a comment about it. Everyone else is all "pedophilia" and "Cass was a goddess".
We get it, let's address what India said!!!!!
You rock.
Love this song. . Such a cool jam. Right on. . Thank you for sharing
I love, The Mamas & The Papa's! Great first start to your reaction. I hope you do more than just two in the future. 😉
I was just watching a Mamas and Papas documentary and have been playing their music ...then I see your reaction. I think John, Denny and Cass are trying to say something.. may they still be making beautiful and great music with their iconic harmonies in heaven ❤❤❤
They had great harmony. I sang a lot of Mamas & Papas music to my lids when they were young. I used to rock them to sleep with either Dream a Little Dream of Me or a Jim Reeves song Welcome to My World. Great reaction!
Mama Cass and Michele Phillips were such a magical pairing of voices. That's what beauty sounds like.
these guys could of sang a phone books contents and it would of been a masterpiece 😍
This is the perfect song! The the video that you're watching is the biggest festival ever in the world.. Woodstock 😊❤️ I actually taught my primary school kids this song and the kids who have graduated from high school still remember the song. Very catchy tune! This is the original!❤️🥰
I enjoy all of your videos India. You are so amazing!
One of the greatest pop songs of ALL TIME!
Anybody who was around when the Woodstock festival was happening knew about The Mamas and The Papas and this song in particular was iconic and still is
This song is on my all time favorite list. Love your review Michelle was originally from CA. She and John were living in NY. It was winter and she was missing CA. Hence the birth of the song. The line about "pretending to pray", supposedly they went into a church to warm up because it was so cold outside.
To learn more about The Mamas and The Papas, I highly recommend the Documentary film "STRAIGHT SHOOTERS: The Story of The Mamas and The Papas" Fascinating, hilarious, terrifying, riveting!
Amazing back stories to the songs and the band...like how Mama Cass brought a bottle of liquid LSD to the U.S. Virgin Islands in order to change John's mind about letting her join the group.
How the American Express Office on said Islands gleefully cut up John's American Express Card while exclaiming "This is IT! THIS is the Card we've been LOOKING FOR!"
And how the group, after living on the Islands for the past 6 months, pooled the little money they had left, took it the Casino, and watch Michelle make pass after pass at the Craps table, winning enough
$ to purchase airline tickets to fly everyone back to NYC, where all the leaves were brown...and the skies were gray.
But that's another story...!
✌🍁✌
This song is timeless. LOVE their harmonies! You've reacted to them before. I think it was Dedicated to the One I Love.
This reminds me of the Dead Milkmen song "Punk Rock Girl"
"We went to the Philly Pizza Company and ordered some hot tea
The waitress said "well no, we only have it iced"
So we jumped up on the table and shouted anarchy
And someone played a Beach Boys song on the jukebox
It it was California Dreamin'
So we started screamin'
On such a winter's day"
India, you make my nights better! Thank you.
Their harmonies are amazing. You don't hear that very much in today's music. We live in So. Cal. My son went to college in Kansas. On about the 5th day it snowed, he told me he really understood this song and wanted to come home.They were Californians that moved to New York and was missing California. Do listen to more of their music. The melodies and harmonies are special.
india I dont even know you thisis the first time I visited your channel and I have to say you make me feel good . I feel love from you thank you !
Yesterday I was thinking why you have not yet came to this song. And now I found your new video!! Keep on doing. Very pleasant person. Greetings from Germany.
Michelle Philips was a serious hottie. Looks like she was beamed back in time from today. Many movie stars of the time were after here inc the rogue Warren Beatty.
She is the only survivor of the group now.
For anyone interested, Michelle Phillips was a guest star in the 1988 Start Trek TNG episode 'We'll Always Have Paris'
She was but it's tainted for me because she admitted to sleeping with Cass's guy, I think it was Papa John? She kinda nervously giggled as she said it but I like to think she regretted it, at least.
Bee Whistler it was the ‘60s.... free love and such 😅
@@BeeWhistler and Cass was brokenhearted. It was a shitty thing to do no matter the decade.
I'm so obsessed with this band, especially Denny. Way too sad that I miss those beautiful times. Looks way better than nowadays. But at least I can listen to them on my record player everyday. Love it sooooo much! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Mama Cass had the voice.... and the moves!!! Michelle did that stiff "what do I do" sway thing but Cass... she was an awesome performer and was so overlooked... until she died and the jokes about her choking to death on a ham sandwich started up. She died of a heart attack and a sandwich just happened to be in the room. You should check out her and John Denver doing "Leaving on a jet plane"... or her, Mary Travers (of Peter, Paul and Mary) and Joni Mitchell doing "I shall be released.".... both great performances that a lot of people aren't aware of.
You have good ears girl! I’ve heard this many times, and always thought it was 'began' to pray.
Yes, it's a flute in the middle, played by Bud Shank, one of the session musicians very busy at the time known later as the Wrecking Crew. Joe Osborn is on the bass.
At the time it felt like California, and still does. Love the Mamas & Papas. And, back in the day, if you thought you heard a flute, it was probably a flute!
I'd call the tune "slice of life". That's an art term meaning showing a limited scene, maybe with only one specific action, usually as a play or short story. Works well as a song form, too. "This is who we are and how we feel right now" can kinda define 'slice of life'.
Looked it up, alto flute.
This song came out before I was born, but is one of the few songs that my 80 year old mom and me both like! Lol
This song was always on the radio when I was a really little kid. The harmonies always caught my ears. I saw Michelle Phillips on Star Trek-TNG last night. She was playing the girlfriend Picard left behind when he shipped out the first time. I doesn't rain as much in California as many people here would like it to, especially in recent years with the drought and all.
The Mamas and the Papas, once described as 4 people trying to sound like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir
This song was slightly before my time, but continued to be popular through my childhood in the 70s and was on the radio or people my mom knew had copies of the song.
Beautiful song aka perfection, cool reaction 👍🏻😊
grreat pick! my parents grew up during the '60s and they said that the Beatles and so on were great, but the mamas and papas were where it was at.
Nice reaction! .....and I began to pray.
You hit it,Michelle and John walked in the snow in NY in 1963, she ran in a church without John and nealed and it was warm in there. She walked out and told John how much she wanted to go home, hense "California Dreamin".
I love Mama Cass. Dream a little dream of me is fantastic. All her songs are great.
I think Dedicated to the One I Love is my favourite song by the song, gentle and beautiful. I also like their versions of Spanish Harlem and My Girl. Creeque Alley is a great song telling the story of the forming of the group. I think you can probably tell I'm a big fan lol 😆
This is one of those songs that’s immediately speaks”Vietnam, Woodstock, hippie, free love. It’s basically part of a quilt that is that time.
Love the Mamas & Papas music...also love Denny Doherty's voice as much as Cass's, but they all worked so well together. thx for sharing India :)
I loved this group too and all of their songs
They were folks who were parts of other Groups before coming together as a Band. The Song was written by John Phillips & His Former Second Wife Michelle. It went to Number One and they did all of the Rock Shows back in the day. You may have heard it in Forrest Gump and The Beach Boys did their version and Michelle Phillips, John and Spanky McFarland were in The Video. In Future Years John & Michelle's Daughter Chynna would be 1 Third Of Wilson Phillips. Her former Bandmates were Wendy & Carnie Wilson whose Father Brian was the Co Founder of The Beach Boys.
Legendary group and song. They wrote this song because they were living in New York and was missing California fun fact!❤️❤️🌸🌸🌸
Thats a Beautiful Soft Song !
"If I didn't tell her, I could leave today". So he's pretending to pray in a church and thinking about running off to CA and leave his significant other.
Yes, it's more cynical than I used to think it was.
Dreaming..
He is pretending because its cold and wants to stay warm in there but he dreams of “running off” to cali where its mostly warm, why do morons need to make it all so negative? The song, in case you fail to comprehend, is “California DREAMING” dreaming. Think about that.
Great Choice! Had forgotten of Them.
This has been a favorite song of mine for a very long time... It is a my parents generation and I was raised on this kind of music.
This was the group of my youth. I had this album ( the original vinyl one ) when this came out. I think I still have it. This was the "Vietnam War" time of music. Yeah, I was in school and remember this, played this album until I began to warp the grooves!
My mum always played their music. Love em
great harmonizing sound like no other !
“Definitely about longing.’” Exactly right!
One of two songs I know by them, but always loved it. A good sing-along kinda jam.
Mama Cass sang the song...Words of Love . Amazing!! You will love her voice!
Hi, the Mamas and the Papas had a short time recording a few years but what great timeless songs. This may be their biggest seller. Unfortunately the only member left is Michelle Phillips. Good job India, keep up the good work.
Love the harmonies.
I always loved Creeque Alley - such a story of it's times song and damn catchy!
