#CaliforniaDreamin - เพลง
No Auto tune no computer enhancement just pure talent
Pure talent and hard work
Coming of age in the 60s, California Dreamin' is part of the DNA of our lives. The flute solo is by Bud Shank. Another song with a great flute solo is "Undun" by The Guess Who - the vocals and flute are performed exquisitely by Burton Cummings.
Undun is a great tune.
We were head bobbing in unison sister Joanne.
Speaking of Burton, his solo tune 'I'm Scared' is the second best 'went into a church just to get warm' song - I mean it's not exactly a crowded genre, but still...
LOVE the song “Undun” !! And love the band that sang it, called the Guess Who!! Loved most all their songs!!
Moody Blues features a flute solo in Nights in White Satin and my favorite Jethro Tull song Aqualumg.
This song is one of the greats! It's not complicated. It grabs you and you just have to groove with it. Groovy man, groovy!!
John and Michelle were married. Cass crushed on Denny, he didn't see her that way. Michelle slept with Denny, all hell broke loose.
Yep, there was a lot of drama in that band. They even replaced Michelle with another cute blonde singer on one album, iirc.
John was a rapist.
Also, John had an inappropriately close relationship with his daughter, actress MacKenzie Philips. Well understood to have been incestuous.
@@airamsipuola5045 Jill Gibson
John and Michelle wrote the song about his drug addiction.
Always loved this song, ever since it came out. I love their harmonies, and Mama Cass has such a beautiful, clear, unique voice.❤ Thanks so much for the reaction, guys!
If you want to hear some phenomenal flute playing, check out the band Jethro Tull!! They are especially entertaining and enjoyable to watch live, and the lead singer, Ian Anderson is a fantastic flute player!
Oh yes, I would love to see them react/review Jethro Tull, they are something special. Aqualung or Locomotive Breath would be good songs to react to, but they have so many great songs.
Any Jethro Tull song (except for Aqualung because it has no flute in it). I would recommend My God.
Moody Blues has some flute solos and so does The Guess Who on Undun.
They had such a good sound. This song pulls you right in. The best of times. ✌🏻
Jethro Tull is a Progressive Rock band that the Flute usually is the lead instrument!!!!
Yes, I would like to see the reaction to this group
Same with Traffic
Locomotive breath by Jethro Tull live is great.
I love me some Jethro Tull
Just going to say, must not have done any Tull.
Cass Elliot was an amzing singer. It was a real loss to music when she died. If you want flute, try the Moody Blues. Ray Thomas was super on "Nights in White Satin"
.
Also Canned Heat... "Goin up Country" has flute.
Another great flute song, Heard it in a Love Song - Marshal Tucker Band
If they do Nights on White Satin, it's got to be the long version!
Has nobody here EVER heard of Jethro Tull???
Cass and Denny were legit monster folk voices on their own. Put them together and bam.
Those of us born pre-‘70’s, will always identify with the opening chords of this song. It will always transport us to an extinct time and place….Except in our memories.
Mama Cass was worth listening to anytime!!!
went to California from London in 1979 and I have strong memories of life there then including seeing 75 year old Women driving Yellow Sports Cars and the Mid-Late 1960s era is how I will always picture California...
My wife grew up in SoCal, and didn't ever see snow until she was 30 years old when we went to Utah. Watching the look on her face as it fell and stuck and grew, is a memory I still treasure.
You know Big Bear Ski resort is only 2 hours from LA, 3 hours from San Diego.
@@misterkite Sure. Why she never went, or her parents never took her, is a mystery.
OH MY GOD...my HEART! Such GORGEOUS sentiment! Your wife is a lucky girl!
@@gabriellenojaim261 Thank you!
Sorry, but there's no way someone could live in SoCal even one winter and not see snow, let alone 30 years.
I grew up in the Midwest and have lived in SoCal for ten years. My relatives back east ask me if I miss snow in the winter, and I say nope, if I want to see snow in the winter all I have to do is look up, and there it is on the mountains, all the snow I want to see. Several times during the winter the mountains around L.A. are snow covered, and it's not unusual for us to get at least one winter storm where the snow level gets down onto the foothills or even into the valleys. Last winter at our elevation we had a 4" snowfall that stayed on the ground for about 48 hours.
So anyone in SoCal can see snow just about anytime they want in the winter, and be standing knee deep in it within an hour or so if desired. Just get in the car and drive up the hill to Idyllwild, Big Bear, or Arrowhead, then when you get tired of it, drive back down the hill and you don't have to deal with it. I don't do that, however, because I've seen enough snow to last me a lifetime, but I could.
A quick Google shows pages of SoCal snow scene photos from over the years -

Just one of the memorable songs from the Mamas and Papas. Lot of free love 💘 back then..
Early Heart albums featured Ann Wilson playing the flute quite a bit and then, of course, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull is a flute wizard.
later...Men At Work....
Peter G played flute on early real Genesis songs
The Moody Blues ... ton of flute. Examples: Nights in White Satin, Tuesday Afternoon, etc.
Chicago--Walt Parazaider played flute as well as saxophone. Played the solo on "Colour My World".
4 Point Counterpoint Harmony here! Rare and beautiful to hear!!
In case you didn't know they used boom mics or overhead Mics on TV back in those days this was on the TV show
Those harmonies. And the flute solo I didn't know I needed.
Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson played many flute solos in their music Their album 'Aqualung' is just brilliant. Be hard to pick my favourite song from that album☮️
Benefit is my favorite Tull album.
Locomotive Breath is my favorite from Aqualung
The flute solo was played by Bud Shank, one of the leading West Coast Jazz sax players of the time. Flute was his second (or third) instrument. I think he started by taking clarinet lessons as a kid. Shank got a lot of work as a session guy on pop records to supplement his jazz career.
I'm a California native that lived in Louisville for 24 years. I had left Cali, and the Family to launch out on my own. I came to KY in 1983 not knowing a soul. Driving back from work in Bardstown one December afternoon, this song came on the radio. It pulled at my heartstrings a bit, and inspired me to reconnect with my family. That simple incident had a domino effect that led me to move back to Nevada in 2007, to run the family business. It all started with this haunting song, and brown leaves on a cold and grey Kentucky winter's day.
I grew up in Los Angeles in the 1960's when this song came out. My parents took my up to the mountains and we stayed in a cabin and I saw snow for the first time when I was 5 years old.
If you're so inclined, try 'Creeque Alley' by Ms&Ps. Kind of a musical autobiography of their formation and the California music scene at that time.
Also - I call your name- written by John Lennon and given to them to sing!!
Mama Cass' vocals are showcased on Words of Love and Dream a Little Dream of Me. She had some pipes
There would be no Mamas and Papss without her or Denny
Dedicated to the One I Love is probably the best song to hear Michelle and Mamma Cass voices. Beautiful song
great songs never get old, and a lot of times you hear something different, or it hits you in a different way...
"Jethro Tull" plays the flute. There's flute in "Spill The Wine" by "Eric Burden and War"
This song makes me feel very nostalgic. Beautiful harmonies and sound. They had so many hits that are worth exploring. Thanks guys for posting this one!
Creeque Alley....an autobiographical song on how the group got started. GO!!!!
The Phillips daughter and Brian Wilson's daughters formed Wilson Phillips and had numerous hits, biggest one was "Hold On."
I was in a monastery when this song first came out. We call it a desert experience because we did not listen to the radio or watch tv. I’ve loved music and it was difficult for me giving up pop music. When a group of novices entered to join our community four of them sang this song for us. It blew me away. I did eventually leave and filled my life with music. 3000 LPs and 5200 CDs latter, I listen to world music and share it on FB with friends. I love this song. One third of the collection is classical, one third jazz and the rest is everything else.
Denny Doherty ( soloist ) was the Canadian member of the group….loved his voice….loved them all.
The Halifax Three
Loved Denny and his sense of humor, he was hilarious, he kind of loved Michelle too, which was part of their breakup
@@margaretmc4707 Yes their affair didn’ t bode well for the group, trouble was Denny was one of several that caught Michelle’s fancy!
This is a stalwart of the 60s. There are very few songs that people around the world can point to exactly what decade they represent like this one. Kudos on doing this song.
The 80s has a ton like that
I am 66 years old and remember this song when it first came out. They also preformed this song on the Ed Sullivan Variety. Show.
one of the greatest band in the history of music.. icons of 60 and forever .
The instrumentals were recorded by the "Wrecking Crew". John Phillips later wrote Kokomo for The Beach Boys.
Thank you for saying many nice things about this song. I’m from the 60s generation and it made me feel good that a younger generation (like you) likes this song and says intelligent, positive things.
Don't know if it's been mentioned, but do you guys know that the MUSICIANS that back this and so many other bands of the sixties and beyond were the studio musicians known collectively as "The Wrecking Crew?"
Native Californian born in 1960. California back then was a quite different place than it is now. It was the land of dreams. There were millions of people moving there from all over the country for the good paying plentiful jobs, affordable real estate (homes were cheaper here than back east), nice weather (along the coast) and a chance to start over. There were only half as many people as there are now. Plus politically it was much more balanced (Ronald Reagan was governor). So yeah, California Dreaming was definitely a real thing. Its a bit shocking to see how much its changed in my lifetime. Not for the better imo.
Back in the 60s and 70s most music was stripped down and organic for sure. Peoples voices and their ability to sing harmony like that without autotune was just amazing. That’s what made the music back then so very incredible…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
John and Michelle Phillips daughter was Chynna Phillips of the group Wilson Phillips. John Phillips had another daughter Mackenzie Phillips who was in the sitcom One Day At A Time.
Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin" is a well-known song with a flute solo.
Jethro Tull is all over my playlist with lead flute playing on so many of their songs.
Mid to late 60s had a lot of flute in their songs. Checkout The Moody Blues for instance.
Jethro Tull had a lot of flute in their songs. Ian Anderson was a great flautist, especially considering he never had any formal training in flute playing.
Jethro Tull has the flute...Aqualung, Sorry Locomotive Breath. There is a version with an orchestra where he plays the flute on Aqualung. The flute solo is in Locomotive Breath though. Got them mixed up. You want flute though, Ian is the man.
There's no flute in the song Aqualung
Well I saw him play it with an orchestra. However I did confuse it with Locomotive Breath
Burton Cummings plays flute on ‘Undun’.
"Can't You See" has a flute solo.
Marshall Tucker Band a great southern rock band.
I love how all of your heads are bobbing in sync! A true classic! Great reaction.
'Creeque Alley' tells of their formation and name checks several artists of the time.
Whenever I shovel the snow out of my driveway during the winter, I sing this song.
Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
Love this verse.....and the way he sang it
This song always makes me think of my mama 🥺 It's her favorite song. She grew up in New Jersey (she was born in 52) but always dreamed of living in California. She eventually made it!! I grew up there. She HATED the cold lol
Great song. Awesome harmonies. As far as flute being prominent, Jethro Tull springs to mind. Aqualung, Locomotive Breath should be checked out. Peace!
Being a born and raised California native,this song makes me always think "home". Sunshine and surfing 🤙🏄🌞
Try "Locomotive Breath" by Jethro Tull if you want to hear a sick flute solo :)
You should not have to apologize for doing songs people have heard... Like you say there is a lot of music. Not everyone has heard this or it may not be people's "go to". (Just like you guys bring songs a lot of us have not heard and we end up loving). ❤ My parents loved their music - grew up listening to them on an album in the front room. This song was/is very iconic - always a good listen!
Jethro Tull is a "classic rock" band known for the flute.
Wow, Nick - that "flute loop" joke landed hard! 😂❤ (Maybe it's my meds) 😂 That was cute.
Denny was the Harbor Master in Theodore Tugboat (kids show that is like Thomas Train in the 90s).
It sounds way ahead of its time to me, always loved this song
The Mamas and The Papas had harmony in spades! Their first four albums are their best without even one bad track amongst them. And you can take that to the bank!! And remember, I told you so.
One of daughter of this group with two sisters ( daughters of the group Beach Boys ) created “ Wilson Phillips” a recognised group of music by songs like “ Hold on”
Love how the big sound of this recording envelopes you.
Love how Denny bends his notes.
And the slow awkward death of the Flute Loops joke .........
There something wholesome and innocent about this era of music
Jethro Tull, will provide your playlist with a much much talented flute playing
Lynda from rural Maine, use to cold. Thank you for the Mamas and Papas.Guess I am getting old. Thanks for the memories. Love you guys.
Mama Cass : Dream a Little Dream.....
Jethro Tull was the king of flutes.
Lynda from rural Maine, I am back, this morning 9 degrees, it's warming up,yesterday 3 degrees where I live, I am warm and my animals ,thanks be to God. It's cold outside. Love you guy. Blessings Patriots.
Jethro Tull . . . . serious flute action happening there.
I was in L.A. a few years ago, visiting my Uncle and taking our son to Universal Studios...I live in Northern California, closer to Sacramento. I get up Super early, went from the hotel to the diner to get some coffee at 4am. A guy came out of the diner (I was outside having my coffee at 4am) and he said, "It's so cold, do you think it's going to snow?" I wanted to laugh so hard.... it was 52 degrees. I told him, "No, it's not. I live where my car gets frozen over all the time I can hardly open my car door. This is warm." He said, "I can't even imagine that". LMAO! It shows that L.A. is so different from everywhere else.
The Phillips' daughters are in the band Wilson Phillips. You need to react to their 1990 hit "Hold On" it's very inspiring. daughter Chynna is an actress too, very attractive woman.
We all know what band you guys need to listen too where the flute is at the front, don't we? Jethro Tull, babies! Get yourselves some Locomotive Breath!
All of you might be young; but you have an old soul, so refreshing to say the least. Kudos to all three of you!😉
Mama Cass was a classically trained singer. And had her own records.
True, I haven't seen snow in over 20 years, and we had to drive up a mountain for that. We just had a decent-sized earthquake last night, too. Home, sweet home. I used to sing along with this as a teenager.
definitely check out more of The Mamas and the Papas. "Cult vibes" LMAO. My friend says 'they look like the Scooby Doo gang...' hahaha
all time classic! ♥ They need to bring back the flute solo 😉
When you were talking about the flute... you mean... haven't heard of Jethro Tull? Try "Locomotive Breath" or "Living in the past" or "Bouree" 😎
Their harmonies are ON POINT!
Wonderful harmonies. Try their "I saw her again last night", or Mama Cass duetting live with John Denver on his song "Leaving on a Jet Plane"... Magical. And if you've got no flute, you MUST hear some Jethro Tull!
A great song with a flute solo is by Chicago called Colour my world. It was a wedding staple for many years after it was released as a single. You should do a reaction to that. Terry Kath sings lead on it! The bass line sounds like a stand up bass and is fantastic! Amazing song!
They had harmony to last forever. John Phillips was a horrible human, in my opinion but they could sing together for sure
Agreed, according to Makenzie, his daughter, when she was in her early teens he got her hooked on drugs (that part is undisputed). What is disputed is het claim that he started an affair with her.
@@badplay156 Disputed by whom? Him? I believe her.
@@badplay156 i believe her, he was despicable
John Phillips was a horrible human being, but he definitely had huge musical talent. He not only wrote most of the band's hits, but he also was a great vocal arranger - his harmonies were rich and exquisite.
@@barbsaracini7866Disputed by Michelle. John was already dead when Makenzie made that claim.
Many know this yet don't realize it, John and Michelle's daughter joined with a pair of sisters she grew up with, Brian Wilsons daughters, to form Wilson Phillips
M&P had SOOOO many INCREDIBLE hits- you guys should cover them some more. Mama Cass solo, too. Her songs were so uplifting and positive.
Saw Her Standing There, Creeque Alley, It's Getting Better, Words of Love. Cass did a great duet with John Denver w/ "Leaving on a Jet Plane", too.
The Mamas & the Papas were a folk rock vocal group formed in Los Angeles, California, which recorded and performed from 1965 to 1968. The group was a defining force in the music scene of the counterculture of the 1960s. The group consisted of Americans John Phillips, Cass Elliot, and Michelle Phillips and Canadian Denny Doherty. Their sound was based on vocal harmonies arranged by John Phillips, the songwriter, musician, and leader of the group, who adapted folk to the new beat style of the early 1960s. The Mamas & the Papas released five studio albums and 17 singles over four years, six of which made the Billboard top 10, and have sold close to 40 million records worldwide. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 for its contributions to the music industry. The band reunited briefly to record the album People Like Us in 1971 but had ceased touring and performing by that time. Some of their most popular singles include "California Dreamin'", "Monday, Monday", and "Dedicated to the One I Love".
Wilson Phillips is an American pop group formed in Los Angeles in 1989. The group consists of Chynna Phillips, the daughter of John and Michelle Phillips of the Mamas & the Papas and Carnie Wilson and Wendy Wilson, the daughters of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. Their 1990 eponymous debut album sold over 10 million copies worldwide and included five major US hit singles, four of which went Top 10 (three of those to number one) on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1990, the group won the Billboard Music Award for Hot 100 Single of the Year for their song "Hold On", and was nominated for five Grammy Awards and two American Music Awards.
The best of all times, 60s and 70s. ❤ If you missed it, I feel sorrow. 🙏🌼❤️
jethro tull featured the flute in some songs, and he looked like a jester with the tights he'd wear sometimes.
This is REAL music...your parents and grandparents were WAAAAY cooler than you'll ever understand...
This song is in my top ten favorite all time. You need some Jethro Tull in your playlist if you're looking for some flute.
Groovy choice, fellas! I consider “California Dreamin’” the national anthem of the 60’s. It’s especially poignant to hear it when all the leaves are brown…
Great vocal group backed by the phenomenal studio instrumental group "The Wrecking Crew", which were never credited.
Traffic with Steve Winwood and Dave Mason had a flute in their songs, check out 40,000 Headmen, Hidden Treasure, Many a Mile to Freedom, and the fantastic Rainmaker. Great great stuff and of course you can't forget Jethro Tull.
It's a true classic
The album cover over your heads was once rare to see. The fist records issued looked like that, but someone decided that showing the toilet was not right. So they put a sticker on all of the album covers. If you tried to remove the sticker, it ruined the image of the toilet. As a result, an album showing the toilet became very collectible.
Singing harmonies was made famous by The Everly Brothers in the 1950's.
Many groups including Simon and Garfunkel, The Mamas & The Papas, The Beatles, The Beach Boys all sang harmonies because of the Everly Brothers.
There are interesting connections from the off spring of this group. John and Michelle had a daughter together - Chynna Phillips who also became a singer/musician. She joined with the daughters of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys to form the group, Wilson Phillips. Also John had a daughter (with another woman) who was named MacKenzie Phillips. She became an actress and was on the hit sitcom One Day at a Time. Her co-star was Valerie Bertinelli who later married Eddie Van Halen. Mama Cass Elliott also had a daughter who became a musician. She toured with one of the Beach Boys, Al Jardine.
Jethro Tull has flute magic, Moody Blues (Knights in white satin) has a killer flute solo one great song you will be amazed and maybe even overwhelmed by the instruments.
The story is that John woke up Michelle in the middle of the night and said if you write down this song for me you’ll never regret it - I think because he gave her songwriting credit.
Can't get better harmonization than that.
Nick, I was actually trying to think of a cereal that had musical note shapes, for a second. You almost got me on that one. Flute Loops? You said none of y'all were fathers, but that qualifies as a "bad dad joke". Had me thinking about trying to spell curse words with my Apha Bits cereal, when I was a kid. Way before y'all's time. 😄
Jethro Tull. Lead flute band. Great flute solo in She's Come Undone by The Guess Who also.
This song started a movement of hippies to Huiet/Ashbury in LA in California. Everybody in America seemed to feel it in the air. I know my sister, and I felt it, and we were going to go in her old Chevy, but we didn't have the money.
