#CassElliot
No histrionics, no embellishments, no vocal acrobatics, just pure voice and melody of this great song flowing from this beautiful woman's mouth and heart. She was one of a kind.
Love you Cass, rest in peace dear.
And thanks for all of the joy that your singing provided.
Really SO tired of vocal acrobatics, you’re so right
Agreed...We have long reached the time where, so many indulge in,
" Vocal Gymnastics, " that singing a song, " SIMPLY, " is refreshingly simply beautiful...
Mama Cass Elliott...Wonderful singer, and pretty beautiful in her own way...May GOD rest her in peace...❤
NO AUTO TUNE
My God, Cass was CLASS. That voice came from an old soul. How lucky we are to have recordings and videos.
Her talent is being recognized by the new generations.
Yes!
Old souls will always seek out their kind. 👏👏🥰
I love Elliot Cass music, I'm one of the few with an old soul I guess, because most people in my generation is into rap.
I only 4, but started listening to her music when I was just 3.
Me thinky her music is bestest!
@@truthoverfacts9254 ???? 😭😭😭 be fr
"when she passed away, I cried and cried all day" - that line gets me every single time
I miss my mom so much..
Me too-have me crying my eyes out
She was a great voice
Love you Cass . Forever
So did I, her voice is beautiful and I still miss her.
Still one of the most beautiful voices. I never grow tired of listening to Cass.
I've always loved this song, but never heard Ms. Elliot's rendition 'til today. Her voice gives it quite the impact. 🌺
Yeah… never realised Cass sang this.
Beautiful!
@@kevinbush4300 I'm glad you enjoyed it, too, Kevin. 🌱
She had the perfect voice for any song -
Yeah, except for this one.
@@robertacevedo3502 So why are you even here then?
@@cjtaylor6487
Good question. Just a fan of the song and wanted to check out her version.
@@robertacevedo3502 wha-...?
Not for this one..only Gilbert can sing this properly.
Brilliant version of Gilbert O'sullivan's hit, fabulous voice.
He had a great voice too!
She felt it.....
F yeah
😢
Something was gonn happen 😪
❤😢 Beautiful version of this song. Remember when this song came out. It has only taken me 50 years to finally understand it. Nice touch with the rain.... Along again in coastal Mississippi 🧔🐻
Things will get better, some days will be better than others. Chin up.
@@neboshman ❤️👋🐻🤠🧔 thank you for your kindness comment
She made this song hers. She sang every lonely word as if the song was written just for her and her own inner loneliness. I'll never be able to hear anyone else sing it again.
It's one of those rare cases where the cover artist sings better than the original singer.
Y’all niggas tripping. Gilbert will always sing this classic the best.
@@Teri_Berk Nonsense, the original is the definitive version. Cass does a wonderful job by adding her own very sad experiences.
Yes Teri, I’m afraid you’re Berking up the wrong tree! Gilbert’s version the original and the best!
Thanks Cass for not singing it through your nose like Gilbert did, but it's still agonizing. Maybe that's the point.
She is one of the most underrated artists
Yes she deserved to have no. 1s in the 60s or something 🤔
She shares her experience and makes it universal. Such honesty. A true artist.
She had one of the best voices I think. Very beautiful and talented lady.
Losing Mama Cass and Jim Croce were both very difficult times for me
Not a month goes by without me thinking of Cass Elliot. I was 13 when she died, and I knew even then that we lost the greatest voice in all of popular music.
I imagine all the wonderful songs we didn't get because of her death.
I was about the same age. I turned about 20 years old the year Cass died. Had been a fan of her and the M&P since they came in 1966. Have loved her since she started. Looking forward to meet her one of these days in the hear after!!
I was 11 when she died. Wasn’t it Gilbert O’Sulivan that sang shis same song too.?
@@bennyrobles9194Yes it is.
I was also 13 when she died. Love her music, and it's so sad that she was so young at the time of her passing.
A wonderful voice with amazing range. She is sorely missed. RIP, Cass.
She was such a fabulous talent
Hmmm...
For eating meat pies..
@@nigelwilliams9307 what an incredibly ignorant comment
@@nigelwilliams9307 why are you people so negative
@@Nullybk Sorry..but I am prejudiced against morbidly obese people.
This song sums up my life. Now my spouse passed away I find myself Alone Again, Naturally. Being alone and lonely is the worst feeling a human being can feel. I don’t feel I deserve this at this older age. No family, really and no friends and now my great and loving spouse is gone. Now it is just Bible study, television, and the internet.
Things will get better again. I know.
My life as well. I was the youngest in a 4 family member home. Everyone is gone now. This had been my favorite song for over 30 years.
This is the true definition of a songbird. Just awesome.
🎯
Well said.
What the hell?? I was watching videos of surfers taming incredible waves and I was literally falling asleep until ... I collided with this jewel, I never knew that the great Cass Elliot had covered this song I was moved to tears, what a voice! what an expression !! a very emotional interpretation, I just have to thank you for everything you left us before leaving.-
Such a stunning voice. Thank you, Mama Cass. You will never be forgotten ❤
Her singing was effortless! ❤
To dispel a popular, rediculous rumor, Cass did NOT die choking on a ham sandwich. She died in her sleep from a massive heart attack brought on by a series of dangerous "diets" which caused her body to consume itself, including her heart.
Awesome young woman, fantastic singer and highly intelligent. She is sadly missed.

Thanks for your kind words to remember her.
@@petercsigo9935 Hey Peter. Anyone who would spend just a few minutes watching and listening to Cass in interviews would very quickly find out this was a very intelligent young woman and one of those very rare special people who would change the atmosphere in a room the moment she walked in.
She had natural charisma and was a free spirit who knew exactly what she wanted and went out and took it!
She was so confident, and never let her weight dictate or limit her dreams and goals. What a voice!
Cass was the kind of person you wanted to be around as much as possible!
Take care brother

I'm glad someone help revealing the truth.
Great singer but her being overweight was a problem.
Ovakav glas umiruje,opušta...❤
I lost my husband of 41 years in August. This song brings me to tears every time I hear it.
I'm so sorrh❤
God bless!!
I feel your pain ❤️
❤❤❤
Such a beautiful spirit. I met you as a child, my farther played you often on his turn table, then through TH-cam I was given the chance to learn more about you and hear you precious, precious voice. I love you Cass, eternally.
I’ve never heard her version of this before! And yet it makes perfect sense that Cass Elliot would do it so beautifully.
She wasn't just a great singer, she also had tremendous presence, a quality that's authentic, can't be learned or faked.
Whar a beautiful voice and song ..rip for one of the best singers Cass elliot
Hey Cass is in the rock and roll heaven! Great song -- and she nailed it! So glad I had the opportunity to live through those great times baby boomers will always be forever young!
Cass Elliott was a Beautiful person and singer RIP
Cass singing Gilbert is magical.
..Just loved Cass Elliot!
I used to wish she was my actual Mother. Heaven gained an Angel👼
Wow....this woman is absolutely gorgeous... Those have to be a pair of the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen in my life... So sad that this goddess died at such a young age... I can only find comfort of a life lost so early in the fact that goddesses belong next to God.... Beautiful woman beautiful voice I can only imagine the great music she would have kept giving us...😢
well said !! Thank you and God bless you and all the viewers !!
Beautful rendition by the immortal Cass.... wishing you a happy birthday and hope you know up there that we still adore you as always xxxx
today is her birthday ^^
What a beautiful interpretation of a wonderful song. Cass Elliot is one of the greats of the 20th century
Mama Cass nails this classic song! Her version is amazing! Cass thought about the words and how to convey the song properly! Pure quality! Cass Eliot could have sang the phone book beautifully! Truly missed and never to be forgotten! RIP Mama Cass. You are loved!
Oh what a beautiful 😍 Lady and wonderful artist she was so glad i grew up listening to her and the Mama's and the Papa's Cass was truly amazing 🤩😍
In the end when she says that her mom passed away and she looks into the camera is where I realize how absolutely beautiful this woman was. Wow.. everything about this woman is absolutely sexy beautiful....♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Our generation was lucky to have her in our lives as a 2:36 wonderful singer and artist and was greatly sadden by her untimely passing truly we have lost an icon
I love Cass' voice, but damn! This is the first time I really listened to the lyrics of this song and OMG, you can't get more depressing than those words!
Really is 😢
Kako je lepa❤😊...još kad bi neko preveo pesmu da i mi koji ne znamo engleski čujemo o čemu govori pesma😊
Pop music is "popular" because it can reach us emotionally - the happy and the sad.
How I love Mama Cass Elliot, even though I heard her music after she passed away because I was not even born.
Iconic artist. Classic song.
Beautiful... 💗
A beautiful rendition of this song. You can tell she really feels the lyrics. This song was such a big hit for Gilbert O'Sullivan in 1972; hard to believe now.
She sounds amazing on this beautiful song , such an emotional voice.
1) The person who wrote this song understood genuine, deep pain and loneliness. THAT is great songwriting.
2) This beautiful soul was a trailblazer who paved the way for some of today’s stars. Being obese in Cass’s day was frowned upon and there was no “body positive” agenda going. Without Cass, we wouldn’t have Adele (or Lizzo).
The music world lost a true leader of the arts the night she passed away.
I am proud to be a Cass. 👍 She embraced the beauty of sadness, she echoed a gorgeous, warm, somber sound. The haunting of how she made certain chords come alive will always make me feel satiated, if allbeit, empty, simultaneously.
Brilliant version. Loved the key-change for the last verse. She was super-talented.
Singing Gilbert O'Sullivan song with Feeling, love this lady.💐
In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
In an effort to
Make it clear to whoever
Wants to know what it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Were people saying, My God, that's tough
She stood him up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about, God in His mercy
Oh, if he really does exist
Why did he desert me
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that
There are more hearts broken in the world
That can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do
What do we do
Alone again, naturally
Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
So pure, so simple, so beautiful...oh, Cass...I believe every word.
Very happily to have found this version, wish elvis did it too! It has me in bits everytime
She has one of the best voices I have ever heard. She is just stellar
That voice, and such beauty.
Atomic voice.
What a stunning talent.
Beautiful.
Uma das melhores cantoras do século XX. Deixou saudades! Voz inconfundível harmoniosamente linda❤❤❤
Eu nunca tinha ouvido essa versão, só a original. Estou comovido.
Kudos to the fantastic arrangement, and especially orchestration which accompanied her voice and phrasing so well.
Wonderful Cass! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Impossibly beautiful. Impossibly sad. I applaud and urge the channel admins to give us superior versions of the wonderful "I'm Coming to the Best Part of my Life" live, from November 73, and the exceptional "My Turn" from late '69. A song so crushingly heartbreaking should be followed by one of Cass' more life-affirming, anthemic performances, I feel.
I can't find any info on My Turn, is that the right name of the song?
@@RandomPlayIist search I Am Now Cass Elliot, that's the song Eran is talking about
I wish she had been able to record this exquisite rendering of a great song. I love Cass. 🙂🙃
Wow. So simply and honestly delivered. Nothing fancy. Just the song. Mesmerizing.
Such a wonderfully crafted song.
Maravilhosa!
Verdade. Pena que se foi tão cedo...
Cantava muito!!! Além de linda,iluminava tudo.
Linda! Super bem humorada
Demais
Diva da voz,The Mamas and the Papas não foram mais os mesmos sem ela!
What a voice. Extraordinary
This is beautiful and so is Cass!
Great voice…clear with perfect diction
Beautiful Cass!!!
My dear lady! Thank you Rich!
Quanto sentimento em uma só interpretation.obrigado por compartilhar
My mom was 1 month pregnant with me when this aired. Love the song and love Cass. MY 16 year old listened to the lesson and she adores her story too. Think if we had all the fashion we have now back then for plus size girls. No more starving to fit in. Love u, Cass!
Huge Gilbert O sullivan fan...to me his best song and she does it proud.
Her voice was so pure ,clear and true with a real feeling She is still phenomenal
Just Beautiful. 🌟 Thought she was going to start crying with such emotion.
Jeez- I broke down crying for her pain, my pain, everyone's pain.
If you can do all that- it's called the greatest of talent 👏
A voice of velvet, still sad after so many years.
She had such a beautiful voice!!!!
Such a beautiful melody… and probably the saddest song I’ve ever heard…
Pure talent, God blessed her with a beautiful voice, just a shame he called her home when he did.
I love this song. It was one of musics that I listed and remember in my life.
Just beautiful! Thank you for the post!
Amazing, and we are all alone in the end, aren't we ?❤
Omgoodness im tearing up i never knew she covered this song.
Loved her since I was a little girl
Beautiful voice
Lost my best friend of 35 yrs 9 months ago today would've been her 55 th birthday. This song just popped up. I dunno do things REALLY ever get better ?
I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure your best friend would want you to keep fighting the good fight...that is living. Hang in there.
1960 THESE TWO WERE THE START OF SOMETHING GREAT.
This was recorded exactly 2 years after my brother died at 5 months old.
I was attending over night camp. I remember the day she passed. Was on radio,all day.
Beautiful 💝
Lipsynch but beautifully interpreted! Wow! 50 years from that recording ! The sound is so so but great performance !
That voice! Beautiful person, taken much too early.
She was a gem. Much loved and much missed. God bless you, Cass.
The quality is so good on this upload! Ive seen some bad ones. Thank you so much.
She had the greatest voice. But I think this is the best song I've heard her sing.
You can see the loneliness in her eyes from the beginning...
Mama Cass, the best pop singer of all time!
I love the way she talks, sings, looks. She has no idea how refreshing she is in the way a hollywood can torture someone. She really was a gem in the midst of hell. Alone with you mama cass 🌒🌘✨🕯️(( papa didnt deserve you ))
Cass Eliot fantastic, eres la mejor de todos los mamas y papas, una voz magistral y fantastica... siempre contigo la mejor, la mejor sensibilidad, canta muy bien, entona muy bien....
