They were folk singers individually. Their song 'Creeque Alley' is the band autobiography, up to that point, in musical format. It mentions how the Lovin' Spoonful band formed, too.
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 "California Dreamin'", "Monday Monday", "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".
They had such wonderful harmonies in their songs-California Dreaming, Monday Monday and lots of others. You really need to hear Cass Elliott-She sings an amazing version of Dream A Little Dream of Me-You will absolutely love it! We will always miss your lovely voice Cass-RIP amazing lady.
The group lasted just 3 years but the music they made was magical. Of course my favorite was California Dreaming. They had many great songs. John was the brains of their music and Denny was a booming tenor. There was a big love triangle goin on. John was married to Michelle and she fell in love with Denny. Case was in love with Denny lol. Amazing they lasted that long. I enjoyed growing up with their music.
@@SweetThing Well, watch behind the music, The Mamas and the Papa’s. You can find in on TH-cam is where I watched it. Michelle said that her and Cass fell in love with the same man. She said it
I love your channel. I really dig seeing younger people turn to older music. It reminds me of hearing music before my time; jazz, swing, country, classical, whatever. Music is just a series of sounds that you feel. When I’m asked what my favorite music is, my answer is “20th Century.” But it reaches far beyond that. Music, like life, is an evolution. Every step should be appreciated.
Thank you so much for checking out the songs of the 60s, a bit before my time, but we listened to them over and over again. Give a listen to " California Dreaming " you'll love it and I love it when your face and eyes light right up when you hear this great music!
Denny (in the green) had the pipes and so did Mama Cass Elliott (in the yellow dress). Cass had an awesome voice. Michelle & John's daughter, Chynna Phillips was in the group Wilson Phillips, and they had a few hits. RIP Mama Cass. x
While watching this video I saw the strong family resemblance of Michelle and her daughter Mckenzie Phillips. Mckenzie was an actress and best known for her part on One Day at a Time.
Mama Cass pretty much carried the female part of this group and she went solo, Denny is the guy next to Michelle and John on the far right. John and Michelle married and had some kids who were actresses and singers (Mackenzie actor and half sister Chynna who is a singer in the group Wilson Phillips...they also have another sister Bijou Phillips). The Wilson of Wilson Phillips are the daughters of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. So lots of music rolled up here. Michelle is the only one left now, and went into acting instead of music for a career. John had some drug issues and Denny passed a few years ago. They were together 3 years and again in 1971 with replacement singers. They had a beautiful blend in their music but had a lot of outside emotional and physical issues. Mama died of heart issues/maybe drugs too, some conspiracies around that, not really sure back then. 1974 I was in college.

Cass was in love with Denny, but Denny saw Cass as a friend…..Michelle was married to John, but had an affair with Denny, explains part of the reason for the start of the breakup.
Another great group from the 60's, even our parents liked these guys because of their harmonies! Sadly, there's some bad juju that ended up surrounding John Phillips in the group who allegedly had an incestuous relationship with his daughter Mackenzie. Very sad...still appreciate their music, but it put a damper on my heart.
California was the epicenter of '60s music, and the Mamas and the Papas were leaders of that scene. Cass Elliot used to throw huge parties where anyone who was anyone in pop culture was invited. Check out the documentary "Echo in the Canyon" if you want to learn more about that whole scene. (It's streaming on Amazon Prime.)
The Mamas and the Papas were mega dysfunctional though, and literally fell out on stage, high and drunk as h--, unable to play, so… …easy on the judgement.
The long and short. Michelle and John were married ( he divorced his wife to marry Michelle ). Michelle got around a lot one of her affairs was with Gene Clark of the Byrds. Mamma Cass was madly in love with Denny but he just wanted friendship. Michelle and Denny began an affair and all this inner turmoil and drugs bought things to a head and they split up.
I sent you two documentary’s do a reaction on their life!I think fame sex and rock n roll reuint their career.And John about killed hisself with heroine.Shame I loved them
Michelle Phillips has an angelic voice. The song is beautiful-superb vocal harmonies. They don't make them like this anymore. Great review!!

I had that 45 and loved it. Watching this is helping me appreciate them more.

Michelle has said she wasn't in love with Denny; she just had an affair with him. Cass Elliott was the one in love with Denny.

@@SweetThingMichelle was an absolute heartbreaker. 💔 Took no prisoners.
Great song and group. Those decades (60s, 70s) were the great for music. So glad we're hearing these again, thx!!
I missed out. 70s baby.
The 60s and 70s were some turbulent but magical times. Same with the 90s.
Now everything is just turbulent.
Mama Cass (Cass Elliot) was such an icon.
Please react to Dream a little Dream, strictly Mama Cass. Pure and absolutely beautiful 😍

Definitely. The 20th Century was peak American Music. No question.
If you want to hear Mama Cass shine, please react to her "Dream a Little Dream Of Me."
“If this song doesn’t move you…you have no soul.”
Facts. ❤️🔥
California Dreamin is my favorite song by the Mamas and the Papas. Great voices and harmony from all four.💖
Mama Cass was incredible
My favorite song by them is 12:30 (Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon). Such great harmonies.
Mine too! 👍
I saw them live. They were great!
I was born in the 70s. I always tell my parents they were lucky and I missed all the way out. 😂
Thank you so much for checking out the songs of the 60s, a bit before my time, but we listened to them over and over again. Give a listen to " California Dreaming " you'll love it and I love it when your face and eyes light right up when you hear this great music!

MacKenzie Phillips was not the daughter of Michelle Phillips - she was her step-daughter. John Phillips was the father of MacKenzie.
Look through my window is a good song by them.
I saw ger again last night
12;30 (Young Gilrs are coming to the Canyon)
You are so joyful and passionate..thank you for sharing yourself through your channel
Please react to Barbara Streisand….Evergreen! The most beautiful love song ever recorded!!!!
I think this is one of their most overlooked songs.
Michelle went on to movies and TV. She played Capt. Picard's love interest in a Star Trek episode.
Very nice song and reaction. Love it!
How about some Bach ?
1. Mass in B Minor.
2. Passion According to St. Matthew.
Choral Masterpieces on the level of the Mozart Requiem .
Michelle was married to John Philips. The tall dude who was with hat and guitar. He was nuts
Okay okay so now a little self_biography song by the Mamas n Papas. 🎶 “Creeque Alley”
Every video a treat love you
Excellent choice ‼️😁❤️
You don’t get over it, you just get through it.

I remember as a kid kinda having a little crush on Michelle Phillips but I also remember thinking that she always looked a little sad
Look who she was married to at that point. She was much happier after that relationship ended.
Cass was in love with Denny, but Denny saw Cass as a friend…..Michelle was married to John, but had an affair with Denny, explains part of the reason for the start of the breakup.
This Jimenez House loves you JB!!! LOVE YOUR REACTIONS!!!🙋♀️❤️❤️❤️🎼🎤
So happy to see your reaction to my most favourite records.
Thanks brother.
Wow. Isn't that beautiful?
Another great group from the 60's, even our parents liked these guys because of their harmonies! Sadly, there's some bad juju that ended up surrounding John Phillips in the group who allegedly had an incestuous relationship with his daughter Mackenzie. Very sad...still appreciate their music, but it put a damper on my heart.
They gave that line to Michelle because even she knew her voice wasn't brilliant and was, quite rightly, jealous of Mama Cass.
California was the epicenter of '60s music, and the Mamas and the Papas were leaders of that scene. Cass Elliot used to throw huge parties where anyone who was anyone in pop culture was invited.

PS You should listen to Cass's solo recordings of "Make Your Own Kind of Music" and "Dream a Little Dream of Me."
Mechelle was just a young girl watch the documentary on their life!Their downfall was drugs
Good lord. Great song, but the still at 1.56, he looks like Christian Bale!
Back in the days when female singers didn't have to prance around on stage in their underwear to gain fame.
And no auto tune.
The Mamas and the Papas were mega dysfunctional though, and literally fell out on stage, high and drunk as h--, unable to play, so…
…easy on the judgement.

Mamma Cass was madly in love with Denny but he just wanted friendship. Michelle and Denny began an affair and all this inner turmoil and drugs bought things to a head and they split up.
I am sick and tired of people taking our songs and acting like they made them. The Shirelles made this record in 1960.
I sent you two documentary’s do a reaction on their life!I think fame sex and rock n roll reuint their career.And John about killed hisself with heroine.Shame I loved them
they burnt out quick , but they were good
Yes, Michelle and then Mama Cass!! Alor of cheating carried on and Mama Cass moved on to a solo career!
I think Cass died of a drug overdose.
This is another song stolen from black artists. The Shirelles
