I think The Mamas & the Papas make most people smile that hear them. Cass Elliot is a powerhouse vocally. Great song and great reaction from the both of you.
The solo singer is Denny Doherty, the only Canadian member of the group. The other man is John Phillips who was married to Michelle Phillips the slender girl, the other girl is Cass Elliot, who had a fantastic voice…..she went on to have a solo career, She passed away suddenly at an early age. Another great song is “ Monday, Monday “
Can’t believe it’s been almost 60 years since this wonderful song was released. I was a teenager then and have heard it hundreds of times. Unlike me, California Dreamin’ will never get old. Love your reaction…blessings to you both from Vancouver Island.
John Phillips, the solo singer, was the organizer and promoter of the 1967 Monterrey Pop Festival, which was the coming out party of some of the biggest stars of rock. Janis Joplin, The Who, Otis Redding, The Byrds, Steve Miller Band, Jimi Hendrix, Mamas and the Papas, Grateful Dead, Simon and Garfunkel, Ravi Shankar, and about 20 more groups played there. There is a film of the concert on YT.
A golden oldie. Ahh the 60's. A time of hippies, Kombi vans, and flower power. Downunder it was the Seekers and the Easybeats. My parents era, and I grew up listening. Fun in the sun, building sand castles on the beach and boogie boarding in the surf. What a great time to be alive.
Great reaction as always. You guys spread such joy. Thank you so much. I hope you make it to California soon. Beautiful state, just like the two of you.
The Mamas & the Papas were a great folk rock group in the 60's. I had their records. They were known for their smooth harmonies. They had lots of great hits such as "Monday, Monday", "Dedicated To The One I Love", "Words Of Love", "Dancing In The Street", "Look Through My Window", "Creeque Alley", "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon)", "Safe In My Garden", "I Saw Her Again" etc. Mama Cass Elliot went solo & had a big hit with "Dream A Little Dream Of Me".
This is an interesting convergence, when you get a chance Angelina Jordan does a beautiful melancholy version of this song. Its beyond beautiful and has a different feel than the original.
California is still beautiful. Many haters from the red states but if California was county its economy would surpass Canada and most EU counties. Still has beautiful beaches and mountains and deserts and forests. Sure the cities have issues. So does most cites in US. New Orleans , Miami, Atlanta, Little Rock, Mobile, Boston, every city has issues regardless of political tendencies.
I lived in California in the late 80s til 1990 and even with bl00ds and cr1ps ki11ing each other like crazy it was still a good state to be in. It would take millions for me to go back now but God bless you for still liking it there
I grew up listening to this songs. Their upbeat harmonies are very pleasing. You definitely should check out their other song.you all have a blessed day
Love this song.... When we go to California on vacation... It's the best... The beaches are so nice and the the girls...hey you two can you please play David Lee Roth California girls official video...luv ya
Written by the late John Phillips. He was the Papa. Michelle Phillips is the only surviving member. She is 1 of the Mamas. The members were in 2 bands in my hometown San Francisco before forming. After the break up of the marriage and the band, Michelle became an actress. Family tree . In short, The Mamas and The Papas are related to The Beach Boys, Wilson Phillips, the jailed Danny Masterson, Billy Baldwin and his son-in-law Justin Bieber. The Mamas and Papas also lead to Van Halen. Suggested videos : 1 Wilson Phillips sing You're in Love live in Manila. 2 The Beach Boys perform Don't Worry Baby. 3 Van Halen performs I'll Wait live in Montreal, in 1984.
Why not give Leonard Cohen a listen. Try Anthem on for size. It has the depth of lyrics you love, a darkness and a singers voice that only his mom could love, but I do anyway
I dont't know why this makes me think about another song Close to you -Carpenter... very good song to react to...for ex a lot of people have memories with the song, but a lot says that for no reason it makes them feel nostalgia
Then why is the crime rate worse in Florida? Last time I checked that's a Red sate correct ? Also California has the 5th largest economy In the world. When you add New York the other place you seem to hate They have a bigger economy than all the other states combined So I'm really sorry you hate our county doing so well offends your sensibly. Look at Red states numbers on pretty much everything your whining about is greater in thouse states Before you taah our county's best . And the problems California is facing are the same as every city and town in the country. Red states have the highest drug use and it's not cirys its rural communities that its overwhelming hard . Pretending things don't exist will never solve anything.
Loved the Mamas and the Papas. But you are correct. It came out later that John Phillips was into drugs and was an incestuous father that really messed up his daughter, Mackenzie Phillips. She became an actress but had drug and mental issues from him. My absolute favorite was Mama Cass. They treated her badly because of her weight, but I felt she outshone them all. They wouldn't have been a strong group without her. I still enjoy the songs but it's sad too.
They are singing 4 part, counterpoint harmony which is very rare to hear. Simply beautiful!
Beach Boys.
I think The Mamas & the Papas make most people smile that hear them. Cass Elliot is a powerhouse vocally. Great song and great reaction from the both of you.
Great Group and excellent song .❤❤
This wonderful song went to the top of the charts in a couple of weeks. Loved your reaction. I think this is the original version.
Definitely a song that never gets old....love it! 💕
The two of you have such a genuine presence and are the cutest to watch.
Love from Oz 🇦🇺
Thank you! 😍

This was from 1965 - the hippie times; my older brother moved to California after high school in 1970 with his guitar & is still there today;)
Denny Doherty (the male singer) was from Canada. Fans of the kids show Theodore Tugboat will remember him as the harbour master.
Love this song. Could listen over and over. Glad you liked it.

It's such a wholesome (sounding, lyrically maybe not so much) song and it's beautifully sung by everyone.
A golden oldie. Ahh the 60's. A time of hippies, Kombi vans, and flower power. Downunder it was the Seekers and the Easybeats. My parents era, and I grew up listening. Fun in the sun, building sand castles on the beach and boogie boarding in the surf. What a great time to be alive.
They were such a great group with some great songs. ❤❤❤❤❤

Went to NYU and listened to this song on my headphones, trudging along. Now I live in the California desert and I’m warm everyday😎
This is Dedicated to the one I Love is a song for you two that they had a hit with.
I loved this group and their songs! Thanks for doing it. I grew up listening to 60’s music.
Really LOVE your reaction!!!!❤❤❤ i wish you were my friends 🧡
This is an interesting convergence, when you get a chance Angelina Jordan does a beautiful melancholy version of this song. Its beyond beautiful and has a different feel than the original.

This was the California Sound before all the folk rockers descended on LA.

That great flute solo was performed by jazz flutist Bud Shank.

Back when California was a jewel in the crown of the U.S.. A beautiful place. Largely ruined by poliical policies now - sadly.
Then why is the crime rate worse in Florida? Last time I checked that's a Red sate correct ? Also California has the 5th largest economy In the world. When you add New York the other place you seem to hate They have a bigger economy than all the other states combined
So I'm really sorry you hate our county doing so well offends your sensibly. Look at Red states numbers on pretty much everything your whining about is greater in thouse states Before you taah our county's best . And the problems California is facing are the same as every city and town in the country. Red states have the highest drug use and it's not cirys its rural communities that its overwhelming hard . Pretending things don't exist will never solve anything.
LOLOL go back to your cult
lol at ruined. Want to go over the wealthiest zip codes?
2 cellos. trust.
Check out Dream a little dream of me! so beautiful!Mamma Cass sings it.
Great song but the some strange things happening in that family. Lol you all should look into them. Incest was a thing. Ruined the kids lives
Loved the Mamas and the Papas. But you are correct. It came out later that John Phillips was into drugs and was an incestuous father that really messed up his daughter, Mackenzie Phillips. She became an
