      @@rogink Mama Cass was very funny and got the most attention, both because she stood out physically, and because of her wit in interviews and appearances. She would have likely gotten her own talk show had she lived longer. She had the gift of gab and was well-liked by other entertainers.

      @@bongodave13 Cheers. I disagree with the OP. I don't think she looks that confident on camera. The slim girl seems to know just when to look into the camera and the lead singer clearly knows how to mime well. I suspect we are more more familiar with Mama Cass because, well, great name, and big presence.

      John Phillips was one of the most under-rated arrangers and orchestrators in modern music. His arrangements of these four voices were what made the group so special. It was like 'lite-jazz', with enough 'airiness', enough atmosphere, to keep it light, to emphasize the sound of each of the voices and avoid the heavy dissonance of REAL jazz.. .Incredible work. I'm glad they were inducted into the R n' R Hall of Fame.

      Record labels lost their iron grip on artists, freeing them to create their own music. The British Invasion brought a ton of talented acts to the U.S. and just added to the creativity. The Baby Boomers had a lot of disposable income to spend on records. Radio stations still enjoyed massive audiences because in-car cassette tapes were still years away. A lot of things happened at the same time.
