    They were magical musically. Their personal lives were a train wreck....like everyone. They broke up in 1971. The only surviving member is Michelle Phillips (the blonde), who went on to become an actress.

    John Phillips wrote "Monday, Monday" in 20 minutes. Michelle Phillips hated the song and didn't want to record it. The result: It knocked the Rascals' "Good Lovin'" off of the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and won the 1966 Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

    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 "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".

    I love the mamas and the papas. As a rule I am thankful for each and every day. However, Mondays can sometimes turn into a crap shoot. But, no matter what, God chooses to bless us with another day and it is up to us with his help to handle whatever comes along. On a Monday last November I woke up that monrning feeling apprehensive I had to go to the doctor. Went to the appointment and got a really good report. Was feeling great and had been home almost an hour when my dad was killed in an auto accident. As shocked and hurt as I was that showed me more than anything not to waste time on fear, worrying about things that you have no control over. That is why God tells us he didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind. As always wonderful reaction you two. I never miss any of your videos. No matter what kind of day I am having I always feel better after watching your videos.

    Sometimes it's difficult to watch these older videos seeing Mama Cass and how she went solo and her back story including her very early death. Other than Michelle Phillips, they are all gone. Their harmonies are some of the greatest that very few can match. Another song about Monday is the Carpenter's "Rainy Days and Mondays", which if you haven't done really should.

      If you listen real closely to California Dreamin you can hear Barry McGuire faintly singing the first line on the record before the song starts. Barry had recorded it when he brought the Mama's and the Papas to the studio to introduce them to his producer, Lou Adler. Adler liked them so much he took a copy of Barry's recording, erased his voice and had the Mamas and the Papas record a new vocal track. Only it didn't erase his voice cleanly.
      Lou released it that way anyway for the single and their first album. He even released it before he released Barry's version. They only sang on that song Barry is on piano, PF Sloane on the guitar and the "wrecking crew" did the rest.

      @@garyarnett1220 It was written by John and Michelle. But they told Barry he could record it. They didn't have a record yet so Barry told them to come to the studio so they could meet Lou Adler, which they did. And he signed them and the first thing he did was had them record that one song over Barry's tracks. All they added was the flute from a flute player. They recruited a jazz flute player from another studio down the hall, but who recruited him depends on which story is true, both PF Sloane and Denny Doherty claimed to have. There's pretty good info on it at songfacts.

    An interesting followup would be "I Don't Like Mondays" by the Boomtown Rats. Rather a different vibe, though.
    I always got the feeling that they had met on Sunday and had a single amazing night, and then she went out for cigarettes and never came back. There's something about his naively desperate sadness that speaks of a thunderbolt, a love that was very sudden and just as suddenly gone.

    This seems so normal and obvious now but this just wasn’t a part of pop music before they hit. A mixed sex harmony vocal group where no one was the specific lead? Tell me who hit before them with that. They had the alpha and omega of good and evil, from John’s ultimately heinous personal crimes, to everyone’s friend and comfort, Cass Elliott. If you tried to argue that there wouldn’t have been a laurel canyon “sound” without her putting people together and hosting parties for all of them, you’d have a pretty decent case. So this group is super seminal in rock history, though they’re not really rock and only were around a couple years. Oh! They also put on Monterey Pop which was kinda supposed to be their headlining vehicle, but a whole host of epic performances took place and the summer of love was born.
